Ahsoka Tano, wearing a cloak over her head, stalked through the shadows on the streets of Anchorhead, Tatooine. She had found good homes for all of the younglings, and she was sure the Empire would not find them.
Tatooine's twin suns were setting, turning the sky pink and yellow. Ahsoka stopped at the edge of the town, looking out at the bare, sandy horizon. Around her, animals, people and droids were bustling about on their own business, not paying her any attention. She knew that Yoda and Obi-wan had already been to the Jedi Temple, and soon they would discover who was responsible for the attack on the Jedi.
Ahsoka pulled out her holocommunicator, about to call Obi-wan, but then decided it was not the best idea. He could still be in the Temple. Instead, she sent a brief coded message to Senator Organa about her success with the younglings. He would relay the message to Yoda, she was sure.
After putting the holocom away, Ahsoka looked back out at the sunset. The suns were just beginning to dip below the horizon. Her eyes reflected the light rays, and she remembered all of the emotions of the lost Jedi Order that had sent waves of the Force throughout the galaxy. She dropped her head, trying to pull herself together. Then, standing tall, she lifted her gaze to look at the suns again. She wasn't finished yet - this was only just the beginning.
Obi-wan had been to see Padme that morning, and as gently as he could, had finally told her about Anakin. At first, she had been completely in denial about him, refusing to believe anything he said. He had tried to get her to say where was, but she had again refused. However, Obi-wan knew that Padme was overcome with emotion, and that she would try to take her starship and go to him.
Obi-wan crouched on the starship platform that was now supporting Padme's ship. He could see the Senator and C3PO walking out the door of the building. He hid behind the loading dock of the ship, watching as Padme's security captain approached.
"Milady, where are you going?" the imposing man asked in a suprisingly gentle voice.
"I need to do this captain, I'll be fine by myself," she replied, her stomach already quite round with child. Anakin's child. She hurried up the docking platform, with C4PO following closely behind. Obi-wan heard the engines rumbling. The loading dock began to lift, but before it could close, he jumped up and entered the ship quietly.
Inside, the hallway was well-lit. He found a small room where he would not be discovered and locked the door, waiting for Padme to take him to the place where he would face Anakin.
Captain Rex walked slowly through the military base on Coruscant, thinking about Ahsoka. She was all he could think about since he had seen her at the Temple, and her safety was all he cared about. If only he could somehow send her a message...
Suddenly, his comm started to beep. All soldiers communicated with their headsets, so it couldn't be an Imperial. He hesitantly answered it. "Hello?"
A slightly accented voice spoke quietly and urgently. "Captain Rex, are you receiving this message clearly?"
"S-Senator Chuchi?" he responded in surprise. Senator Riyo Chuchi, Ahsoka's friend and ally, was contacting him on his communicator? "W-what do you want?"
"Meet me in the Senate Building in my office. I need to discuss something with you." With that, the channel was disconnected.
Rex was baffled. He had never gotten a message from the Senator before, so he had no idea what to expect. Glancing around, he saw that no one was watching him. With a start, he quickly made his was to his speeder.
