ezraSWrebels, thanks for the review! Glad you are enjoying this story!

Dr. Nema waited for the transmission to go through to her friend as she replayed what had happened the previous night. After she had finished describing the couple, Ezra said he was sure they were his parents and had tried to contact his friends on the Ghost, but to no avail. The signal just wouldn't go through. She had gotten Ezra to finally go to bed by promising to contact her friend in the morning to see about getting him off the planet. That was of course after she told him about after having stayed for a few days, the couple had left to go to Lothal.

Sudenly an older sounding voice said, "Well, what can I do for you doctor?" Nema turned her attention to the projection as she said, "Maz, it's good to see you again. How are things on Takodana?" "They are going well, but I am sure that is not the only reason you have contacted me." "Right, I am trying to help a young friend get off planet, but there are a lot of Stormtroopers. Know anyone willing to take those odds?" "I might. Let me ask around and I will let you know when I know." Maz replied.

"Thank you Maz." Nema replied, before signing off. She checked on Ezra, who was still sleeping, before going to open up her office for the day. She was glad Ezra was asleep, it had taken a long time for him to settle down after he had discovered he had missed his parents by weeks. How she wished that she could get in touch with Ahsoka so that Ezra could tell his Master everything, for he had told her a few times last night how they had been told that Ezra's parents were dead. But she had been lucky to get in touch with Maz, for it seemed that the Empire was blocking a lot of transmissions. She only hoped Maz would be able to get through to her when she found someone.

A couple hours later, Ezra and Nema were eating lunch when a transmission from Maz came through. "I've got someone willing to do it. He is young and rash, but luck seems to be with him in everything he does. And his price is reasonable." Nema sighed, hoping the price was reasonable enough that she could afford it as she asked, "What is his name?" Before Maz could reply their signal was interrupted, causing them to lose connection with her. "That's not good." Ezra mumbled, as both he and Nema went to the window and looked out.

Flying low were several Star Destroyers, TIE Fighters flying in and out of them, as several Imperial Shuttles headed for the ground. "Ezra, you have to go into the room you were in when you first arrived and stay as quiet as possible." Nema said as she moved away from the window, tugging him with her. She opened the hidden door with the Force, waiting for him to get comfortable, before closing the door once again. Nema packed some of her medical instruments into a bag, in case she was called out due to a skirmish between the Stormtroopers and the locals.

Then she waited, for hours she waited, opening the door to hand Ezra some food and water when she felt safe enough to do so. She had just closed the door after one of these times, when there came a pounding at the door. It was her neighbor, Treva, and she was frantic, "Oh Dr. Nokanda, they have taken my son and when my husband tried to stop them they shot him. He is alive, but bleeding, please come help."

"Of course, Treva." Nema said, before grabbing her bag and following the woman to her house next door. As she patched up Treva's unconscious husband, she asked, "Do you know why they took your son?" "It seems that someone is harboring a young Rebel, or so they think, about my son's age. They say they will return him once they have verified that he is not the boy they are looking for, but I don't know if I believe them." Treva said, having regained some of her composure.

"What makes them think that this young Rebel is here?" Nema asked as she finished binding the wound. "Apparently, the one they are looking for was injured on this planet about a week ago. He also usually travels with this one group, and since they haven't seen him with them, they are assuming he is still here." Nema put a hand on Treva's arm and said, "I am so sorry this happened Treva. Hopefully the Empire will be true to their word and return your son to you soon." She packed up her bag and left the house amid Treva's thanks.

Hours later, the Empire moved on to another part of the planet, opening up transmissions once again. Nema immediately contacted Maz and told her to send the pilot as soon as possible, after telling her what happened. The two signed off with Maz saying he should be there by the next day her time, which Nema was thankful for. She also knew that she was going to go with Ezra, at least until he was back with his friends, for she wasn't sure if the pilot would try to betray him to the Empire if he was alone.

The next day couldn't come soon enough for either Nema or Ezra, both hardly able to stop fidgeting for fear that the Empire would discover Ezra before they were able to make their escape. As it was getting closer to noon, there was a knock at the door. Nema motioned for Ezra to go to the secret room, before going to answer the door. Upon opening it, she found a young man with brown hair standing there. "May I help you?" she asked. "That depends. Maz told me there was someone here looking for transport off this rock."

Relief flooded Nema's face as she said, "Oh that's wonderful. Come in." Once he had entered and she had closed the door, she turned back to facing him and said, "Maz told me your fee and it is acceptable. There will just be me, the boy and my bag, he carries his backpack with him everywhere, so they are practically one and the same. Where did you dock your ship, Mr…?" "Its nearby and the name is Solo, Captain Han Solo."

Okey I just love Maz so I couldn't resist adding her into this XD I honestly don't know much about Han's background, so if anything is off from cannon in what comes next with him, then please forgive me and take it as writer's imagination liberty XD
