Chapter 4

I don' think there's much jumping around after this chapter…

Jedi threw the girl to the ground. He looked at her, making sure she didn't try anything. She just continued to yell at him, "Look di'kut! I'm on your side! Let me go!"

"Hey," he screamed back, "I just found you with a sniper rifle in a perfect sniping spot to kill the Manda'lor! How do you explain that?"

"I'm just here to protect him! Look I had someone in my sights, If I can just…"

"Murder him," Jedi crossed his arms. She was really getting on his nerves. He assumed that beauty was the only thing she had, except that still didn't stop him from at least being interested. He began to check his comm. to tell Sev or Tawny about this incident but he couldn't get anyone. "You're in a lot of trouble when I get to the bottom of this." She shook her head and pleaded with him, "No! There's a guy, He's going to stab the Manda'lor! I can just shoot him in the arm, I'll make the shot, I won't kill him."

"Right, and next you'll keep me alive by putting one in my skull." She continued to shake her head, "Just let me have this one chance! Come with me, watch me take the shot! If I'm lying just shoot me!"

"And if you do save the day?" He mockingly looked at her. She shrugged, "You owe me one."

He chuckled; she looked down and swore, he wasn't taking her seriously. Somehow she'd get out of this mess, knock him out and kill the would-be assassin. She then tried to smooth talk her way out of this or to just distract him. She began to try to work at the rope he had tied her with. She began, "Hey, I'll pay you back."

"Oh really?" She rolled her eyes then mumbled defeated, "Really, just give me a chance. I'll do whatever."

"Great lie," was his reply. He then grabbed the girl by the arm and dragged her back up. "Nice escape trick too."

"Well…I…uhh," she was nervous. She tried to shake free of his grip and his offered no resistance. She kicked him in the face. "Great way to convince me you're telling the truth," he said. He felt a dribble coming from his nose; she had knocked his helmet clean off and given him a bloody nose. "Relax I'm just going to untie you."

"Now you believe me? I find that hard to believe," now it was her turn to mock him. "Hey you're putting a lot into this, you take it seriously."

"And?"

"It shows you believe in whatever you're doing and that you have heart. I respect that." She looked at the face of the man. He was a clone, she should've guessed the minute she heard his Concord Dawn accent. She really didn't have much of a choice in the matter anyway. She turned around and true to his word, he untied her bonds. "Sorry about the kick in the face."

"Eh," Jedi responded, "It was a good kick and it'll heal. Kandosii." She smiled at him, "Thanks," she responded. He just put his helmet back on and pointed back to where he found her. "You do have a job to do ma'am."

"Yeah," she cautiously replied as she ran back to the sniper and lined up a shot, scanning the crowd for the man she was looking for before. She found him, he had his face covered well and wasn't in Mandalorian armor. He was getting closer and closer to his target. She quickly looked down the scope and made a one in a million shot. She got up from her rifle and said with a cocky grin, "You owe me now."

"Hey I let you go," he chuckled again, "You owe me."

"We'll figure this out later," she began to act more relaxed around him. "Oh and don't call me ma'am, it makes me feel awkward."

"Your choice," Jedi then mumbled, "You still need to thank me for believing you were telling the truth."

"I guess I owe you that," she responded sincerely, "Thank you."

"Now I feel loved," he joked, "Hey I guess you get these a lot but you want some sort of clumsy come on..."

"Nah I get enough," She laughed, "besides I don't even know you. All I see is a, err, no offense here but…"

"You can say it." He wasn't ashamed to admit he was a clone, his accent made it rather obvious and he had the same right to be in the galaxy as someone else. She continued, "A clone, I don't even know if you have a name."

"Hey I'm still a human being here."

"Right sorry, so you got one?"

"Jedi Commando, or just Jedi, simple and rather self descriptive, but it's pretty good I guess." He shrugged. She responded, "You don't hear many Mandalorians show some love to the Jedi, I've got nothing against them personally…"

"Jate ijaat." He butted in. She nodded before responding, "Yeah."

"Well Revan inspired it, no complaints there and I have a special situation but I rather not talk about it. Last time I did it didn't end well." She nodded then they just sat there for a few seconds before Jedi stood up and said in a mocking tone, "Well that was an interesting first date I'll see ya again cyar'ika."

"You're really going to leave me here alone? Five minutes ago you would've killed me." He shrugged again, "You seem nice enough, except I never did catch your name."

"Samantha, well most people call me Sami," she replied. He took a mental note if he ever saw her again, "You got a last name?"

"Yeah but I rather not, took many dirty jokes and come ons." He laughed, "C'mon I promise not to say anything," His comm. burst to life. He put his finger up to motion for a moment and began to talk to his brother on the other side. He put it down, "Well my vod wants to know if you actually are one of the good guys, he wants your first and last name so you might as well give it to me. You know Sev Fett and his wife Tawny?"

"Yeah Tawny's a good friend and tell whoever's on the other side its Sami Meshla." Jedi just looked at her, "You're joking, c'mon, your real last name."

"That's it; I told you it gets me clumsy come on."

"Yeah well it suits you well, and I mean that in the best non-flirt way as possible." He went back to his comm. and overheard her thank him again, sincerely. Someone as attractive as she was didn't make many friends who didn't come straight out and flirt with her; Jedi was a refreshing change for Sami. Jedi on the other hand began rounding first base.
