Third person POV
They made their way out of the shuttle, down hallway to the controls of the prison on Coruscant. Jedi-Knight Anakin Skywalker gave his light saber and his comlinc over to the clone behind the controls. He put them into a little boy and locked it with a key and put it aside.
The Senator gave her comlinc and her blaster over to another clone. Also her things were put into a box, locked it and laid it beside the other one. About 4 to five clones came by to bring them to the cell. Three clones went in front of them, two behind the Jedi and the Senator.
They went into a lift and the Senator stared at the endless numbers at the side of the elevator. The endless numbers of floors. She had the feeling the elevator wouldn't stop falling down. Her heart beat became faster with every floor they passed and finally the door of the elevator opened in front of them.
They were on the lowest level. Level 60. They went pass cells with more or just one person in them.
The knight noticed an empty cell on his left side. Memories floated his mind and he saw Ahsoka sitting in the cell. Placed there by his memories. He sighed and looked at his wife.
"Do you really think she can help us?" asked the Senator.
"I care more about the question if she even will."
The Senator caressed gentle her husbands arm showing that she understood what he felt like and that she had seen the cell, too. They reached a giant metal door. One clone went over to the little control station and used his card and a code to open the door. You could hear the air vanish as the door opened.
The Senator stared at the thick door. She couldn't tell how thick the door was but maybe 4 feet and about 11 inch. Maybe more. She swallowed down her fear after what would be behind this door. The cells on both sides of her were full of people. About ten in one cell. They looked hungry and stretched their arms out to her asking for food or water.
"Stay in the middle, don't get close to the cells." said the clone who was walking behind the Knight and the Senator.
"Why?" asked the Senator and walked closer beside her husband.
"If you get to close, they'll pull you in and kill you, by breaking your neck."
The Senator swallowed hard and walked even closer beside the Knight.
They went towards the next massive metal door. The clone opened the door and the floor was unexpected empty. It was dark and you could see at the end of the floor the light of the cell. The lights at the roof went on one after another. The steps of the Knight and the Senator became faster with every step. And there she sat. The cell door opened and they entered.
She looked up and smiled at them. The Jedi couldn't clearly read her face. Her eyes showed sadness, pain and guilty, but her smile hatred and somehow … sneaky. Like she would plan how to ran pass and ran free from this prison. Her body was closed. Her legs pressed together. Her arms, wrapped around her body and she laid her hands on her lap as she sighed.
"What a pleassure. The Jedi and the Senator." She barked the words out, like they would hurt her if she would have kept them in.
"What do you want now from me? Do you want to ask holes into me again? Or will you just choke me again, if I don't answer?"
The Jedi felt his wife's eyes on his back but he just breathed in trying to control his anger.
"We need your help. It's ab-"
"Oh suddenly you need my help? And why on earth do you think I would help you?"
He took another deep breath.
"It's about Ahsoka."
Barriss Offee's mouth opened but closed and she looked down. It took her a few moments to say something.
"Why does she needs my help? Aren't you the one who should help her?"
The Jedi almost just exploded right there but his wife laid her hand on his and walked closer to the former Padawan.
"Ahsoka came to us to find help, but ..."
"But what?" asked the young girl and her voice was filled with fear even though she tried to hide it.
"She fell into a coma after she was hit with something at the back of her head." The Senator said.
Barriss Offee knew that the Senator was lying but she did not cared at that point.
"At her back Lekku or upper?"
"In the middle of both."
The young girl sat down.
"That's not good. The risk of her to die is really high if she was hit right there."
"That's why we need your help. We are the best healer in the galaxy."
"Were the best healer. Since I am the 'traiter' of the Jedi, I am not allowed to use my skills."
The Jedi stepped for and said calm.
"The council allowed you to use them to ... " He took a deep breath. "To save Ahsoka."
The former Padawan stood up and walked up and down.
"And what turns our for me?"
"Turns out for you? Pfft. Clearly nothing."
She shot him a nasty look. Both women did.
There came a long sigh from the Barriss Offee. She laid her head in her hands.
"Here comes the deal."
"You cannot make a deal."
"Master Skywalker, please let her speak." said the Senator and turned to the girl.
"I will help healing Ahsoka if you allow me to talk to her about what happened over the last tow years."
"Fair enough." mumbled the Jedi and turned around.
The Senator went even cloer to the former Padawan.
"Was she hit bad?" asked Barriss.
The Senator just nodded with a sigh and laid her hand on Barris shoulder.
"There is probably one thing more you need to help us, after healing Ahsoka ... about what she did over the last two years."
"What would that be?"
"I can't say it here. You'll see it soon enough."
The Senator left the cell and followed her husband to the communicator. They told the Jedi council and they allowed the 'deal' Barriss Offee made. The young lady kept complaining about what the Senator meant. Can she really help Ahsoka after such a hit?
I know it is short sorry, I just have a lot to do right now, but I hope you like it! :)
