Anakin's mind buzzed, as it usually did, with the recent events that had taken place.
As he maneuvered his way through the usual Coruscant traffic back to Padme's and his apartment, he wondered how he might be able to save her.
The dream he had last night had not left his mind for even a second as he performed his daily duties to the council and stayed up to date with the war, there must be a way. Her voice coming back frequently…"Do you think…Obi Wan might be able to help us?"
He had assured her he would save her, but could Obi-Wan help? He was after all, Anakin's closest friend, he could trust him with anything…but could he help him with this? Maybe Padme was right, he would talk to her when he got home about this…no, he must take care of it as soon as possible, for Anakin knew it was only a matter of time before Obi-Wan went in search of General Grievous on the Utapu system and he might not get another chance to talk to him until it was too late.
Jedi Temple
Anakin stopped just inside the immense doors of the temple, and focused on Obi-Wan's force signature, he was being briefed by the council about his upcoming mission to Utapu.
Guess I just have to wait until their done, he thought as he sat down on a bench infront of an enormous window and focused on the steady flow of traffic. No matter how much was going on in his head, just watching the traffic…imagining himself behind the controls of a speeder, as when he was a child, seemed to melt all of his troubles away, if only for a minute.
Their done, I'll meet Obi-Wan on the way out, so I can talk to him alone, he thought as he headed toward the council room.
Obi-Wan was headed toward his ship, no doubt on his way to the Utapu system at that very moment. This was his chance, it was now or never.
"Obi-Wan! Master I need to talk to you." Anakin felt a hint of regret that his secret may be out, but even worse..what is he doesn't approve, what if he turns me in to the council?
"Anakin!" came Obi-Wan's cheerful voice, "I was just going to go looking for you, I'm afraid I must say goodbye my friend as I go in search of Grievous."
"Obi-Wan, could we…could we have a word, I'm afraid this can't wait a moment longer. Anakin said, feeling as if the sentence had taken a lifetime to present itself.
"You can tell me anything Anakin, anything at all." Obi-Wan's ever smiling face stared back at him.
"Well…It's Padme, I've had visions that she may be in trouble….I don't know how to save her, she is one of my oldest friends and I can't imagine anything bad happening to her." Anakin could believe he couldn't come up with the truth. Well this is the truth…sort of.
