Cody helped me dress; since I was still alittle wobbling on my feet, and helped me stumble down the corridor to a bunker I've never been to before. It was small and really close to the medical wing. He told me that there was no one else living there, it had been occupied by a small squad of spies and snipers who where wiped out during one of the many slaughters of Ryloth. I was about to ask about which one, but decided it was best not to.

"You can stay here, Gash doesn't know that you won't be bunking with your squad so he won't know where to look for you. I'll come occassionally to check up on you." he told me "If Gash does find you here, contactme with this." he then gave me a comlink. It looked to have only one channel. "Only don't use it when I've told you I'm on a mission."

"Yes Sir." I replied. I looked at the ground then back at Cody. He was a really nice guy, the complate opposite of Gash and better looking too. "Um, about earlier when you saved me, well thanks. I really owe you one Cody."

To my surprise he just smiled "Anything to bug Gash."

I laughed feeling really bold. "You could bug him even more if you wanted to."

"How so?" he questioned, and instantly I knew I had made a mistake by opening my mouth. His tone had an edge to it now. I felt like an idiot.

"You most likey wouldn't agree to it, so I won't say it."

Cody picked up on it and frowned "Not happening kid."

"Even though you know it will drive Gash insane?...And well on top of that you heard me in the showers! But you still won't?" I blushed and looked at the ground again. I was sounding desprate.

Cody shook his head slowly. "As much as I was to make that sorry excuse for a commander squirm. I don't want you coming off as a liar."

"Sir?" I asked confused.

"I think you should hear this." Cody told me reaching up to his wrist controler and pressing in a command.

His comlink soon played back a recording. At first I couldn't understand why he was playing a recording, until I heard "The one you are seeing. Who is he?"

"I'm not seeing anyone!"

"Lies!"

Cody stopped the recording. "That was taken from the distress beacon you sent out earlier today. Do you want Gash to kill you for 'lying' to him?"

"Uh no. But I do have to admit, you are pretty hot you know." I blushed. "Um..."

"Let me make this perfectly clear, Lucifer. The only feelings I have for you are that of a friend and older brother. I'm not even mildy attracted to you. I know you hate Gash for what he did to you; frankly so do I, but I wouldn't even consider sleeping with you because of it." Those words stung, like rubbing salt into an open wound. I couldn't believe it. I was dumped. It made me agry but then I thought it might be better if we weren't that close. Damn, I must've sounded so desprate.

"...I understand; besides the points you made, I have been tainted by Gash. No experiance, I get it. I doubt anyone will consider me anyway..." I told him. I knew my feelings might not change, but at least I had a friend. No. He was better than a friend. He was Commander Cody. My guardian.
