Chapter One
Pleasant Encounters
The fury in his eyes was that of raging fire rolling down the hills. He sent the papers flying throughout his room, a sort of rage quit from his part.
"Sir, if you have a different perspective on the way we are running the first order we can talk about it. If I-"
''No!" Ren Thundered back interrupting the man in suit
"I had given you fourteen days to complete the re-establishment"
"Indeed sir, however that is not enough to compile our men to your standards, they are simply men after all. If we could just-"
"Quiet!"
Ren ambled back and forths with his arm bent on top of the other. His fingers pulling on his pale chin. "How many men do we have in order" Ren turned his back to the trooper
"Uh-uhm" the trooper anxiously looked to the scattered papers on the floor. "We haveā¦" The man almost slipped on his own tie. "One-Hundred and seventy-four, sir!"
"Fine, we will send them to Jakku. However, before that happens, bring the board to the table today evening. let us meet where always"
"Yes Sir" The trooper walked out, careful not to hit his white helmet on the entrance.
"Ah yes, of course. . Yeah no problem. I'll meet you there then. Okay the one next to the antiques shop. Alright see yah!"
She sat at her desk, turning the rolling chair left and right thinking about anything that could be worth taking care of before going out. She had done the laundry for all she remembered.
She still had to finish the paperwork Leia had asked her for, but that was to be due in two days. She stood up from the fun-chair and walked towards her closet. What could she wear tonight? It wasn't like a date or anything, she just wanted to feel less-well-beat up.
"Alright, how about this" she mumbled to herself. "Yes, acceptable" she replied. She moved to her bathroom, opened her mirror door in front of her. Rey liked to primarily take care of things that were of major importance -"Damn it!" She stormed out grabbing her shoulder bag, wallet and keys -and getting washing supplies was not one of them.
She drove to the massive store downtown to grab herself shampoo and what not.
She carried her items in arms in line for the cashier.
"Rey!" a man called out.
Rey turned to see Poe.
"Ah hey! Poe, what's up"
"Y'know, living the life. shopping for my pups at home"
"That's great! I can't wait to see them again, I bet they are bigger than last time i saw them"
She began to put her things in the black sliding counter.
"Yeah, they are quite large. How are Leia and Hans?"
"They are fine! a bit stressed out with the whole meetings with the Jakku supervisors, they are really trying to accommodate everyone"
-"That will be 21 and dollars and thirty four cents, please"-
"I bet" poe replied jumping slightly on his toes to emphasize.
Rey grabbed her bags.
"Well, I'll see you around!"
"Bye, Rey"
She walked out the sliding doors to her car when she suddenly half tripped making a couple supplies fall out the brown paper bag. she scowled and crouched down to pick up her things when something caught her eye. a black and brown wallet laid at her feet. This was what caused her to trip, and she wasn't quite discouraged now. She hastily got her things in the car and plopped down in the driver's seat. Her fingers scrutinized the leathery wallet.
"huh" she mumbled at the great amount of money. she anxiously looked through some more. "Kylo Ren?" She questioned as she looked at the name on the driver's license, She spectated the picture,"Wonder who this is. could at least smirk a slight"
She made it through the traffic with one hour to spare before her date. Just enough time to get ready.
Kylo Ren stood before the board, all dressed in ties, almost looked the same. Kylo with rolled up black sleeves from his collared shirt.
"I have called you all here to discuss what I have in mind and I assure upcoming success" He sauntered back and forth trying to find something to do with his hands.
" I think that it would be best if we ruled something bigger than what we have now. Imagine, having the ideal amount of people at our feet. serving us. Bigger armies to conquer all galaxies" He chuckled to himself a little bit. his hands now stationed on his small waist.
" I have perpetually thought about this, and Jakku seems ideal. They have managed to obtain a high-tech society, well rounded even after our last attack a few years back. This will of course, involve our unmasked troopers to become spies by conveying themselves as generous humans, casual affairs. But you won't be alone, I will join the venture and I will keep everyone updated on what they must do"
The confidence in his voice grew louder "Departure to Jakku is set in tomorrow morning.
A sudden cough in the distance resonated.
"Sir, I have a doubt"
Ren raised his eyebrow.
"We will not have to worry about any-how should i put it- sentimental occurrences, right?"
Ren stared blankly, pondering if this was a real question. "That is the most absurd thing i have heard of" He walked away to Phasma.
"Let all stormtroopers know of this"
"Yes, sir"
The bell of the old cafe shop echoed as Rey opened her way in.
-"Rey" the voice called.
"Oh hi!" she replied with mirth.
-"And I thought i would have to wait another 10 minutes"
"Out of all the luxurious places, you invite me to the most ancient place you could find"
-"makes it the most exclusive, If i say so myself"
They both smiled and tautly hugged each other.
"It is great to see you Rey" They both started to their table
"It's great to see you too, Finn"
Both sat facing each other. The evening setting on their faces.
"I haven't seen you in quite a while" Her tone lowered.
"work has been tough with General Leia and Hans, but we are beginning to come to terms with the Jakku supervisors. Even if it has been a while since evil last attacked, people are still scared and concerned. but we are on the verge of getting things settled"
-"Here is your coffee and Ice tea" the waitress settled the cups on the table.
" look, if you need my assistance, if you need me to head over there, I will"
"No Rey, you worked hard during the first stages already, you deserve rest. Isn't General Leia still sending you paper work to finish?"
"Yes, but is not as heavy as what you are taking care of" she pled
"Don't worry I have been getting enough help" Finn smirked at her. It really was one of the best smiles you saw out there. Honest and calming.
A silence broke in between them.
"Oh-oh actually today I found a wallet on the street"
"Are you sure you didn't steal it?"
She rolled her eyes with a playful expression on her face
"Do you know who's it is?"
"Yeah it's from a guy n-"
Finn's phone begin to vibrate on the table, he looked down.
"It's Hans"
Rey nodded. "Oh...You should leave then it must be something important. Plus is getting dark and I must finish some papers for General Leia"
Finn nodded "Okay, I'll see you soon"
"See you soon, Finn"
he walked out and the ringing of the bell echoed behind him.
