Here's the long-awaited Chapter 4. I hope you all enjoy! Please review and tell me what you think. Constructive criticism wil be happily considered. Flames will be ignored.
The man with the eye-patch, whom Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan were informed was Nick Fury, sat at the desk in front of them. No one else was in the room. No one had said this was an interrogation, but it clearly was.
"Are you comfortable?" Fury asked.
"Yes, thank you," was Qui-Gon's only reply. He knew he had to play this cautiously, carefully. He had dealt with interrogators before, and he didn't want to give anything away until he knew what he was up against…
Of course, it's not like he really had anything to give away. He was probably as clueless as the man in front of him.
"So, you just randomly appear out of nowhere. You have any idea why?"
"No."
"Where did you come from?"
"Coruscant."
"Really? Well, I presumed as much." He paused before continuing, considering what to ask next.
"What is your mission here?"
"We have no mission here."
"Then why are you here?"
"You tell me."
"This is not a time for games. You sure you have no idea what's going on."
Obi-Wan joined the conversation. "We have just as many answers as you do, that is, unless you're hiding something." He seemed suspicious. Qui-Gon admired his advance. He had shifted the conversation in the other direction.
But Fury was not to be fooled. He ignored Obi-Wan's comment completely. "You say you are from Coruscant. What were you doing before you came here.
"We were on a mission."
Nick Fury was clearly trying to hide that this excited him. He was gaining information. Qui-Gon knew. He answered the next question before Obi-Wan could open his mouth.
"What was this mission?" Fury asked.
"Routine check-up." Qui-Gon answered quickly. "We do them all the time. We are keepers of the peace."
Fury leaned back in his chair, thinking the reply through. But he seemed to buy it.
"We are going to have to keep you under lock-down for a few days. Don't try anything sneaky, and we'll allow you access to the rest of the building. Until then, you will be well taken care of. And we have a few others I'd like you to meet."
Fury had a twinkle in his eye as he dismissed them.
And it was then that they knew this mission was far from over. As far as they knew, no one had answers…
…yet.
And there it is! Look! An empty review box! Please put something in it! I NEED REVIEWS! (:
