Anakin Skywalker sat across from his wife in her office at the Senate building. She often worked late and after his own business concluded for the day, he would join her in her Senatorial workplace before they went home to her apartments together. It was late into the evening and Padmé was pouring over documents and bills trying to find a way to help her friend the Duchess. Anakin watched his wife's brow furrow with determination. While he usually didn't bother with politics or bills or even reading in general, he had been working with Padmé to try to find a way to help Satine Kryze.

Anakin had been taken with Satine the moment he sensed that she an Obi-Wan shared a distinguished past. He was even delighted to sense that time had not diminished the feelings that the two old friends had harbored for each other. It not only reminded Anakin of himself and Padmé, but it showed an endearing sentimental side of Obi-Wan that was usually reserved for his former Padawan. It made Anakin love Obi-Wan even more. Maybe one day when the war was over, Obi-Wan would follow Anakin's lead and live the rest of his days with the woman that he loved. What was the harm in being a Jedi and having a family anyway?

His musings were interrupted by a transmission on his comlink from the man himself.

"Anakin, come in," said the voice of Anakin's former Master over the rushing noise of a speeder in flight.

"I'm with you, Master. What's up?" replied Anakin lazily as he looked up from the data pad he had been somewhat studying.

"I need a favor. Can you go to Senator Amidala's office and find her?"

Padmé looked up from her work and exchanged a guilty look with her husband. He smirked at her.

"Sure, I can be there… shortly," replied Anakin. "What do you need?"

"I have the Duchess with me, I am bringing her to the Senate building. She has evidence that the video from Mandalore was doctored." Obi-Wan took a labored, panting breath.

"Obi-Wan, what's wrong? Are you hurt?" asked Anakin both hearing and feeling his Master's discomfort.

"Anakin, please just listen to me. Satine is going to turn herself into the guards. While they are distracted, I will hand the disk to you. If you get it to Senator Amidala, she can present it to the Senate."

"Alright, Master. I'll meet you by the West entrance. I hope this works."

"As do I," replied Obi-Wan before ending the transmission.

Anakin looked up to Padmé who was already redressing herself in her elegant political gown and pinning her hair back into place.

"This is wonderful news," she exclaimed excitedly. "I will alert the Chancellor that we need an emergency Senate session and then I'll meet you down by the West entrance."

She saw Anakin's worry for Obi-Wan. He stood up solemnly and before he could turn to the door to leave, Padmé came around the desk and kissed him swiftly on the cheek.

"Go," she commanded. "The four of us can do this, Ani."

Anakin hurried out of his wife's office and headed for the nearest lift tube.
