Dark Night, Malik, Obi-Wan, and Anakin had been sent by the Jedi council to help bring in the sith assassin, who was after the Jedi secretly. Unfortunately, Scarlet had killed the assassin before the Jedi could take him in. Unfortunately, Dark Night and Obi-Wan had either nearly fallen to their death or had been thrown into a wall. The two Jedi Knights had recovered from their encounter with the assassin and with the events that had just happened, Obi-Wan took his padawan Anakin with him back to report leaving Dark Night and her padawan Malik to clean up.

"Does he always leave you to clean up?" Malik asked Dark Night as she had disposed of the body and collected the assassin's weapons and tools.

"Only sometimes." Dark Night responded. "I think it's better that Obi-Wan informs the council anyways. He has a way with words."

"But you do too." Malik stated defending his Master.

"Yes, but it was my friend who had killed the assassin. Not his." Dark Night explained as she finished. "Now that that's done…. Malik would you like to take a walk with me?"

Malik nodded in response and followed after Dark Night.

"Where are we going Master?" Malik asked.

"We are going…" But before Dark Night could finish her sentence her comlink went off. She took it out of her pocket and answered it. "Chancellor Palpatine, is there a problem?"

"My dear Dark Night, I apologize if I am interrupting anything. I have permission from the Jedi Council to request your help." Chancellor Palpatine informed her.

"What is it you need, your excellency?" Dark Night asked.

"It would appear that Senator Annakia Amherst had descended into the lower levels and had not returned for a few hours. Her guardsmen are worried due to her lack of response to their constant calls. I would greatly appreciate if you would take a look around for her and bring her back safely." Palpatine requested.

"As you wish Chancellor." Dark Night responded then the call ended.

"Master, how are we going to find the Senator down here without knowing where she was even seen last?" Malik asked.

"Now would be a good time to teach you a lesson in trusting the force." Dark Night said as they started walking.

"What? But how can the force help us here?" Malik asked.

"The force works in mysterious ways." Dark Night started. "To trust in it, means you trust in your own abilities."

"I do trust in my abilities." Malik said almost frustrated.

"Malik listen to me." Malik stopped walking and looked up at his Master. "Close your eyes… reach out and concentrate." Malik did as she told him and listened to the force. As he concentrated the moving world around him seemed to go quiet and he, knowing that Dark Night was watching and not wanting to let her down, continued to listen for something only to continue to hear nothing but silence. After a few minutes gave up and turned towards his Master.

"I don't hear or feel anything!" Malik stated frustrated. Before Dark Night could respond the two heard a scream. One that caused all the people around them to turn and look in the direction. Dark Night looked at Malik then signaled him to follow her. The two ran in the direction in which the scream came from. When they reach the area from which the scream came from they find a group, of what looks like bounty hunters, surrounding a woman and kicking her over and over. Dark Night recognize the woman as one of Annakia's Handmaids. Dark NIght then involved herself in the the group mainly fighting off the men attempting to kill the handmaid. Malik joined in and within minutes the few men either ran off or were on the ground in pain. Dark Night then calmly walked over to Annakia's Handmaid and helped her up, only to find that the woman couldn't stand without help due to her injuries.

"Allana, where is the Senator?" Dark Night asked supporting the handmaid.

"Those men… they are helping her kidnapper. I tried to protect her only to end up here." Allana said.

"Who are they working for?" Malik asked.

"Here is not the place to be speaking about this." Dark Night stated. "Lets take her back to the Senate Building." Dark Night and Malik helped Allana to the speeder they had brought down with them when they first came down to help Scarlet. Once they all arrived at the Senate building, Chancellor Palpatine, Masters Windu, Yoda, and Mundi, Annakia's protective services, and a few other Senators were all waiting for them.

"Where is the Senator?" One of the frantic guardsmen asked.

"I don't know yet, but we will find her." Dark NIght stated firmly. "First we need to get Allana help." Everyone moved out of the way of Dark Night, now carrying Allana, taking her to Senator Annakia's office. Once in there the guardsmen bring in a medical droid to help attend to Allana.

"Now I need you to explain to me Allana. What happened?" Dark Night asked.

"The Senator was sent a message for Queen Amidala about having her meet someone in the lower levels to discuss with someone…. But all that happend was the Senator being kidnapped. There were too many of them I couldn't protect her from all of them." Allana stated while sounding defeated.

"May I see this message sent by Queen Amidala?" Dark Night asked. The captain of the guardsmen handed Dark Night the comlink. She turned it on and listen and watched to message along with Malik looking over her shoulder. Once the message was done Malik spoke, "It seems real to me."

"Except…. It's not her." Dark Night stated grimly.

"What?!" The guardsmen yelled along with the couple of Senators who were curious about what was going on.

"How do you know Master?" Malik asked.

"Well… first, her mannerisms are different. The Queen is never sloppy with her words. Second, the hologram isn't even moving. And finally, Queen Amidala would never ask her Senator to go very deep into the lower levels. She knows how dangerous it can be down there." Dark Night replied. There was silence in the room for a moment as the information sunk in. The Chancellor realizing what Dark Night just said, turned to the Jedi Masters in the room and request that more Jedi be placed on this investigation and that the Nubian guards stay here and watch over the Senator's Handmaid. To this they all agreed, and since Dark Night was the only Jedi who knew the Senator personally, she would be the one to lead the investigation.

As Dark Night goes to look at some more of the evidence in the lower levels she and Malik run into someone unexpected.
