Star Wars: Bonds

Slave I slowly descended upon the planet, it was pathetically primitive. They still could not travel any great distances in space. And yet according to his resources the target he was seeking was on this planet. Boba Fett punched in some buttons on his computer as his ship landed in a large field. He looked at the file of his target. He watched as the picture of the baby aged to a girl of fifteen. Boba thought it amazing that this bounty was still an open case. Somehow the man who set this bounty up knew this girl was still alive, despite the fact that she was no longer in the Star Wars Galaxy. He checked the readouts one more time seeking a possible location of his target. He thought it funny that this girl who most likely did not know the bounty on her head was harder to find the some others who did know.

Boba left his ship in the clearing and went to ask questions of the local populace. His ship censers indicated that humans dominated the planet. He could only hope they spoke Basic. He soon found out they did but he had to wonder at their sanity. For everyone he tried to talk to either wanted his autograph or a picture of him. He finally decided to go to his ship and wait for night fall when his instincts told him to knock on the door of one more house. When the door opened Boba faced an older man, but before he could ask his questions the man spoke.

"Boba Fett?" Boba noticed immediately that this man's tone was different. It was one of surprised recognition and almost a bit of fear. The rest of the populace had been overly excited to see him. When he looked at the man's face he recognized him.

"Admiral Cartec." This man had been on the ship that had captured the girl fourteen years ago, but had then disappeared. The man nodded at the mention of his name.

"Palpatine still wants the girl?"

"Yes where can I find her?" The man took out a piece of paper and wrote something down.

"Go here at thirteen hundred hours and wait outside the building. I will see to it that she will come to you. Oh and by the way her name is Krista." After all this time of searching, of dead ends, and frustrating informants, Fett could hardly believe that his target would come willingly, but as he stood outside the building, he saw her walking straight toward him, unafraid and ignorant of what was to come.
