Chapter 5- Meeting the Boss

Obi-wan yawned himself awake, but his eyes didn't open. He tried to get his hands to his neck to rub it but he couldn't move his hands. He tried to get up but couldn't move. Now this was a problem.

Obi-wan finally let his eyes flutter open to find himself in a dark room. He was laying on something hard. This was not his soft bed in the temple. Where was he?

He let his eyes wonder the room only to see nothing but darkness. Obi-wan tried to get out of whatever was holding him down.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you. You'll hurt yourself," said a soft female voice to Obi-wan's left.

"Who's there?" he asked.

"Here let me help you," she said sounded as if she was above him. Obi-wan heard the binders raddled to the floor and the straps rip as she released him.

Obi-wan sat up rubbing his wrists and then realized she had turned on a dim light that lit the room well enough for him to see where he was. It had two beds, a refresher station, a small closet, and a door that appeared to be locked. He was in a cell.

"Now how did I get here?" he asked himself.

"You were kidnapped by the guys who own this station," she answered him.

"Then who are you?" Obi-wan asked her. He could see her now more clearly wearing a grey suit with boots and a belt. Her blonde hair was pulled up into a ponytail but she was not facing him.

"Obi," said the woman. She turned to face him. Obi-wan gasped.

"Satine," he gasped.

"Obi," she cried as she ran towards him.

Obi-wan stood and caught her in his arms. He held her tight as she cried into his shoulder.

"Oh, Obi-wan when they arrived with your body, I thought something bad had happened," she stammered. "And…and…"

"Calm down, Satine," he comforted. "Calm down. I'm alright, not injured."

She pulled away and looked him up and down.

"You need to change," she said heading to the closet.

"Why?"

"Well you wearing your pajamas for one," she pulled out a grey suit similar to hers. "Two, they said we have to wear these suits."

She tossed him the suit that looked to just a pair of trousers and a shirt, both grey. He then made his way to the refresher.

When he came out he was clipping on a belt, his own belt a matter of fact. Had the man who kidnapped me grab my belt and boots, Obi-wan thought, what about my lightsaber? He had combed his hair and had splashed water into his face, so he looked more awake. But when he finally hooked his belt he started to search the cell for his lightsaber in case the kidnapper a grabbed it as well.

"They took away all weapons," Satine said walking up to him. "If that's what you're looking for." He nodded.

He looked at her then took her hand.

"How did you get here?" he asked.

"Same way you did," then Satine looked down.

Obi-wan placed a hand under her chin and lifted it. "Don't worry help will come," he told her.

"Are you positive?" Satine asked.

"Yes," he said as he leaned in and the two kissed.

They pulled away when they heard footsteps stop outside of their cell. The door whooshed open to reveal two men, one tall and skinny having more weapons on him than a tank and the other was built, he had big arms, chest, legs, and a head to make him look as hard as stone.

"Come with us," said the tall guy. He had a bit of an accent.

He grabbed Satine and pushed her out of the cell. He then pointed his blaster at her, telling her to move.

"Come with me tough guy," said the big guy.

He grabbed Obi-wan's forearm and shoved (literally shoved) Obi-wan out into the corridor. Obi-wan stumbled and almost fell but the big guy grabbed the back of Obi-wan's shirt and hauled him off his feet and set him down next to Satine.

She looked shocked, Obi-wan looked terrified. Because of how close they were, she took his hand and gave him a smile. He returned it but let go before the men behind them saw anything.

They entered a room that was lit all in the center but was pitch black all around. Obi-wan noticed a chair with someone sitting in it against the back wall. But all he could he see was a pair of legs wearing black trousers and boots.

"Bring the Duchess forward Lex," said the mysterious man.

Lex, the tall guy, brought Satine over and told her to kneel down. She obeyed and he kept his blaster pointed at her.

"Hmm, what is a pretty thing like you doing with that fool?" the voice asked, obliviously talking about Obi-wan.

Satine didn't answer. She looked away angrily.

"You like him, don't you?" the voice asked. Obi-wan felt ticked off now. "Interesting."

The figure reached out and grabbed her chin and jerked her head toward him.

"Answer me!" he ordered.

"Get your hands off her," shouted Obi-wan.

The figure backed off of her and leaned back in his chair.

"Come forward Kenobi," he said.

"Yeah, you heard the boss," said the big guy. "Move it." He shoved Obi-wan forward then pushed the Jedi to his knees. Obi-wan winced in pain.

Satine looked at him next to her and mouthed, are you alright? Obi-wan gave her a small nod.

"Well, well, well," said the Boss. "You are the legendary negotiator, Jedi Master, General Obi-wan Kenobi."

He leaned forward and Obi-wan could feel the Boss's cold stair on him. Obi-wan sat there looking at the Boss in the darkness, there was silence.

"Well Duchess," he finally said. "You sure did pick a handsome man." He messed up Obi-wan's hair. "Now enough small talk."

He reached out and grabbed Kenobi's neck and lifted him off his knees and practically off the ground. Obi-wan couldn't breathe from how hard the Boss's grip was around his neck.

"Now Kenobi, where is she?" he asked.

"Who?" Obi-wan chocked.

"You know, your padawan Sasha Monroe," he commanded. "Now, where is she?"

"Obi don't tell him," shouted Satine.

"Shut up wench," he said and sent a slap at Satine causing her to fall to the floor her lip bleeding.

"Satine!" You leave her alone," Obi-wan choked.

"Then tell me where!"

"She… she is… at the temple or… on her way here," Obi-wan wasn't able to breathe any more.

The boss let go of Obi-wan's neck and he clasped to the floor gasping for air.

"Obi-wan!" Satine cried crawling over to his side.

He was shaking and was close to passing out.

"Hang on, Obi. Breathe," she whispered.

The boss sat back down and turned on a comm link.

"Johaku, come see me in my quarters. Now," he said into the comm.

He turned his attention to the big guy.

"Zail take Kenobi and the Duchess back to their cell," he said.

"Yes, boss," said Zail, the big guy.

He knelt down and picked up Kenobi and tried to keep him on his feet. Thankfully, Satine put an arm around his shoulders and aided him out of the room with Zail following behind them.

Johaku arrived to the Boss's quarters only to find him leaning against the wall next to the window.

"Johaku," he said. "She has arrived."

Johaku walked over to the transpeel window and saw a ship appear from hyperspace.

"Indeed," he said. "The missing link has arrived."

Anakin pulled the Twilight into the hanger of the station, where they had tracked Obi-wan's signal. He set the ship down and shut down the engines.

"Ready Sasha?" he asked her.

She had been silent ever since Master Windu assigned the two of them to go find Obi-wan and Duchess Satine and now Sash looked focused on the upcoming rescue.

Wow, thought Anakin, she is a lot like Obi-wan.

"Yes Master, I'm…" she froze when she saw a figure in the doorway behind them.

"Night, night Jedi," said the figure and that was the last thing either of them heard before everything went black.
