Sari looked terrified, Rex was pale and Ahsoka couldn't breathe. The Twilek held the gun at point blanc at Sari's head. If this went bad, it would destroy Rex.
"Where'd your boss, stash the money" The Twilek asked.
"I told you I don't know!" Sari pleaded.
He slammed the butt of the blaster into her head, and she whimpered in pain. Ahsoka had to think fast. He wanted money, she would lead him to it.
"I know where it is," Ahsoka said.
Everyone looked at her in shock.
"Where is it?" The man questioned.
"It's in a little hidey hole in the middle of the store where Rex and I were standing earlier"
"Take me to it," he pointed the blaster at her now.
Ahsoka looked at Rex concealing her left eye and winked a code to run. Ahsoka turned back to the man and walked out into the shop, heading toward where she and Rex were standing moments ago in an embrace. She knew what she had to do.
Without missing a beat, Ahsoka turned, kicked the blaster out of his hand and used the force to slam him against the wall. Unlucky for Ahsoka, the blaster had been fired before she kicked and she was shot in the shoulder. The man leapt at Ahsoka while she had been trying to recover for the wound but was stopped by Rex who crash tackled him to the ground.
They struggled until Rex pinned him down.
After the Twilek had been arrested, Rex and Sari were having a private moment which made Ahsoka decide to go for a wander. Before she had gotten far Rex stopped her.
"Thank you" He simply said. He didn't need to say anymore.
