Thanks for the support on the last chapter, it's much appreciated, also thanks to the guest who sent me Esther's Imperial report for the idea for this chapter. Exciting news, my birthday is on Wednesday. Yay.

Thanks to everyone who left ideas last chapter, I still need some more for Squadron 13.

Ezra mindlessly glided through the Imperial prison records, hoping desperately for any kind of information on his family.

If the events of previous night hadn't occurred, Ezra would have been worried about the fate of his younger sister Esther, she was dangerously prone to getting herself into trouble.

However he knew that she was safe enough to go wandering the border late at night, but still he couldn't help but think that she had done something to compromise herself.

"You spend all your time looking through prison records, what else do you need to know?"

Sabine.

Ezra had been extremely protective of the Mandalorian ever since he had seen the way Esther wanted her. He planned to protect his lover.

Sabine planted a gentle kiss on his lips. "If you're not going to stop, at least let me help you."

Ezra let out a breathy laugh "Alright..."

"As much as I enjoy watching you flirt, we have information regarding the murders on Lothal."

The Ghost Crew had been appointed the mission of looking into mysterious murders taking place in the back-alleys of Lothal.

Ezra had theories that the killer was one of his kind, what with the victims always being found with a loss of blood.

It could even be Esther, she lived in Capital City, and much like him, she needed blood to survive. Ezra kept his hunting to a minimum, he wasn't comfortable with the idea of killing others for food.

His biology, however, made this impossible.

Ezra and Sabine went to the cockpit to hear about this new information.

"In your sector, there is an Imperial Star Destroyer containing the report on these murders, the possibility that the Empire know more than we do is high. The very success of your mission relies on whether you obtain this report"

The hologram of Commander Sato disappeared into the relayer. Hera turned her chair to face the controls of the Ghost.

"Sabine, do you have the coordinates?"

"Yep, it's not that far from us, we don't even have to jump to hyperspace"

The remainder of the conversation just became a meaningless blur to Ezra, if they got a hold of this report, the Rebellion could find out about Esther.

They could find out about the truth.

Ezra wasn't keen on anyone finding out about his secret, what with the public following that Esther had. It could put the entire species in danger.

Sabine nudged Ezra "You're daydreaming again...what's wrong?"

Ezra snapped out his haze of thoughts "N-nothing, I'm fine, really."

As Sabine edged closer, he caught himself staring at her neck, lusting to taste some of her blood. He was so hungry, he had to starve himself as he was unable to hunt whenever he wanted.

Ezra could only imagine what it would be like for her to want him to bite her, a willing treat.

What about turning her? Making her his? Esther was always wanting him to get a mate, Sabine would make a pleasurable candidate.

"Ezra!"

Sabine clicked her gloved fingers directly in front of his face.

"You do know what to do once we get on the Star Destroyer, don't you? Were you even listening?"

"...No" Ezra admitted shamefully.

She rolled her eyes, sighing in the process "Me, you and Chopper will go to the database room, Kanan and Zeb will set up a distraction to empty it, we'll find the report and load it onto Chopper...it should be easy."

"It won't be, will it?" Ezra didn't seem hopeful.

Sabine shared his worries "No, it probably won't be"

Ezra raced down the flaming corridors, frequent bars of singed metal, provided numerous obstacles for him.

Boots tapped and guns clicked in the areas he had passed, they would be upon him soon, this information had to be worth it.

The loud bleeping of Ezra's com wasn't helping the attempt of stealth, the familiar beeps and whirrs of Chopper were strangely comforting in the situation at hand.

The Astromech had found the information and only needed the data stick that contained Imperial passwords and bypass codes.

Ezra had been sent to find this when the information had been found heavily protected, with the added step the mission had gone up in flames, quite literally.

Simple bucket heads were now being trained to use more advanced weapons, like flamethrowers, much to the disadvantage of the rebels.

Only a few more doors now, but the troops were drawing ever closer and soon Ezra wouldn't be able to outrun them.

Chopper had the room open, ready for his impending arrival while Sabine was hacking into Imperial databases, scavenging as many spare blueprints, reports and other assorted documents she could find.

Ezra flung himself into the database room. The door was securely locked behind him.

"Here...I...I have it" Ezra panted, lacking energy to speak after sprinting through the corridors.

Sabine gave him a warm grin "Would you like to do the honours?"

He pushed the passwords into the slot, watching as the report was unlocked.

Ezra would never forget what he saw.

Esther was innocent. She had to kill, for her own survival. It wasn't her fault.

He had to find her, and get her off Lothal.

He turned to Sabine and Chopper.

"We're leaving...now"
