Chapter Two

Rush

Leia stayed further north of Jakku, sending papers to her was always a hastle. The minimum time to for them to arrive was at least thirteen hours. Rey had not realised that the papers would take time to arrive so she spent the whole night typing away ideas to enrich Jakku and analyzed what worked or not by explaining the situation down here. She had to keep a look out for the things that were advantageous and what were not. It was a simple job, but also very important.

The sun broke into her room illuminating her face, her fair skin was almost perfect if it wasn't for the dark under eye circles she obtained from staying up so late doing work.

Her eyes shot wide open.

"crap crap crap" she repeated as she sat up. She hurriedly searched for her phone under the bed sheets. "WHERE" her face peeked under the bed, outstretching her arm. she took hold of her phone "9:30am! but I set the alarm!" she squealed. She slipped her jeans and t-shirt on

There was no time for makeup, but definitely time for hair. her three quick buns were perfect.

Rey flew out of the room to the post office, the traffic in the morning was dreadful; her only choice was to speed walk which wasn't that terrible since the post office was not too far away.

Kylo was an early bird, out of all things, he was an early bird. by 7am he was standing in front of his mirror slicking his dark waves back. by 7:25 He was walking in his closet where one half of it hanged dark button down collar shirts, the other dark vests to fit his figure, at the far end: fitting dress pants and heeled dark dress shoes despite his height. He was a real doll, Kylo. Today he wore his black button down with the dark maroon vest on top and everything else to fit his taste.

His phone vibrated on dark wooden writing desk next to him "Yes?"

"Sir, the first line of troopers are ready to fly out. would you like to leave with them at this point?"

"No, I'll leave in the afternoon when the second line goes out"

"alright"

The plan was not to send all troopers at the same time or else it would be obvious in Jakku. despite its large size, Kylo didn't want to risk it.

He shoved his phone in his pants pocket. The main reason he didn't want to leave was because he couldn't find his wallet. he couldn't get to Jakku without his wallet, his money, credit cards, driver's license. how would he get around without them? His troopers were well prepared, they wouldn't need much since they were going only for a week, a driver's license was not necessary, enough money was given to them, they were fine, but Kylo wasn't, he was the boss for sakes, he needed it. he was the one who was going to do business up in Jakku.

Ren looked around, opened drawers, looked under his meticulous bed. He spent quite sometime looking for it. None. He would have to leave without it and take cabs until he could find car rental shop. It was eight in the morning now. He scampered along the gray and white cold hallways to the troop station. Phasma spoke through the loudspeaker. "first line has been jettisoned, second line at 4:00pm"

Ren walked to Phasma. His posture upright, yet sensual. "Have you by any chance, seen my wallet?" he coughed looking at the troopers.

"No..maybe you left at Jakku? you were having quite the time."

Ren humorlessly twisted his mouth.

"Call me when the second line is about to leave"

"Yes, sir"

Rey arrived at the post office, sweaty and all.

she loved the fresh air conditioning in the post office, It was much better than her small apartment. She handed the papers to the guy who wasn't bad looking at all. He wore the usual dark blue shirt with the logo printed at one side of his chest.

"In a rush again?"

She widened her eyes "Mhm"

There was a small silence in between. Which was Rey's fault; She could only think about the call finn suddenly received. He arrived to leave so quickly. She only hoped that everything was going well. Being a sort of assistant down here was boring, writing report forms for Leia was very dull. But she didn't hate it, she enjoyed the walks along the sidewalks and long drives, spectating her people she grew up with. She knew Jakku like the back of her hand.

His subtle cough guided her attention back at him.

"Hey uh-Oh! do you want to go out like hang out sometime?" He looked nervous now. his hands shaking as he transferred the address to the white sticky paper.

"Uhh-I don't know… I think? I might be busy" she didn't feel any sudden interest. It would have to take hours to even consider such invitation since they seldom occured, aside from Finn's visits. " it depends on the day...just message me yeah?" They held a sudden staring contest before she began jotting down her phone number on a sticky note. She smiled and handed it to him.

"Yeah so just..let me know" she smirked. and swaggered out the post office.

The sun blazed on her face, it made it glow and her eyes squint. She already missed the air conditioning from the post office, but nothing was better than seeing kids running around and happy couples watching over them. Rey continued her way, she knew all the shortcuts. There was an alley-like shortcut that she prefered because it saved her about a 7 minute walk when she was on a busy schedule. Instead of going around the block she could just cut straight across. Rey made her way in when noise caught her was like small screech She ran towards it, it was only a few feet away. The thing hid behind the bush. She outstretched her arm when a cat launched towards her. Its little paws clawed on her pants "Woah! Easy easy!" She grabbed the kitty with both hands revealing its little tummy. She held it to her face. it was maybe about 3 months old. "you are tiny, what are you doing here alone?" the kitty had big orange spots and big blue eyes.
