I flung myself onto the comfortable bed, but how was I going to get these cuffs off? I looked at the bedside table. It had a knife on it. I grabbed the knife and cut the rope the tied the cuffs together. I still couldn't get the cuffs themselves off. ''Oh well.'' I said.
I got really tired all of a sudden. I made myself comfortable on the bed and quickly fell asleep. When I woke up the next day there was a holopad lying on the bedside table. For some reason I still felt tired. I grabbed the holopad and read what it said. 'Come downstairs for breakfast' is what it said.
This Admiral Tuh guy is really odd, I thought. I shouldn't trust him.
-Somewhere downstairs in Tuh's estate-
Tuh turned on the hologram projector that was in the middle of the room. A hologram of Count Dooku appeared.
''Has General Greivous delivered the Jedi to you?'' Dooku asked.
''Yes,'' Tuh answered. ''She fell for it.''
''Good,'' Dooku said.
Tuh could hear Barriss' boots coming down the steps.
''She is coming.'' Tuh said. He turned the hologram off.
-Back to Barriss-
I looked around checking if Tuh was watching. I stepped towards the door. I took a few steps, but then Tuh came out of nowhere.
''Barriss, is something wrong?'' He asked.
Yes something's wrong! YOU! I thought.
I turned around. He was closer to me than I thought. Like really close.
''No, nothing's wrong,'' I said.
He leaned closer to me and took hold of my hands.
OH force, would he let go of my hands? I thought.
He was really starting to creep me out. He leaned his head even closer to mine. Just in time I got one of my hands free and pushed his face away. He looked bewildered when I moved my hand from his face. He let go of my other hand, thank goodness. I stepped away from him. I think he got the message that I was uncomfortable.
''Did you sleep well?'' he asked as I was about to go up the stairs.
''Very.'' I said quickly and hurried up the stairs.
I went back to my room and reached with the force to Master Luminara. Master, I failed on Miralukese, I've been taken captive by-
Suddenly Tuh opened the door to my room so I couldn't finish talking to my former master through the force.
''What do you want?'' I asked, rather rudely.
''I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable earlier.'' Tuh apologized. He walked towards me. He took hold of my hands, again.
''I'm having a celebration here tonight,'' He said.
''For what?'' I wondered aloud.
''Nothing particular,'' He answered and left the room.
-Tuh's holoprojector room-
Tuh turned on the holoprojector. The image of Count Dooku appeared.
''The plan is working well, Lord Tyrannus.''
''Good, I will arrive later tonight.''
Dooku's image disappeared and Tuh laughed evilly.
