Anakin and Ahsoka got out of the ship and got in their speeder. They headed for town.
"Anakin, who exactly are we looking for?"
"A bounty hunter named Greedo. He was the same bounty hunter that kidnapped the chairman of Pantora's daugthers. The Council believes he was the same guy that tried to asssassinate Sentor Organa."
"How can we know for sure?"
"That's what we're here to figure out. We get close to him and get him to confess to us that he did."
"What if this doesn't work?"
"Have a little faith, Snips. We're not going to do this is one day. If he did it, we'll get him to tell us."
"And what if he didn't do it?"
"Then we leave. Hopefully, he doesn't recognize me."
"What do you mean?"
"Greedo and I grew up together. We didn't exactly get along. We fought almost everyday. If he does recognize me, you'll have to talk to him. He doesn't know you, so he may tell you something."
"The sooner we get a confession, the sooner we can leave this dustball."
"My thoughts exactly." They made it to town and parked their speeder. They got out and started to walked around. There were all kinds of smugglers, dealers and bounty hunters everywhere. After being in this town, Ahsoka didn't have that many complaints about Coruscant anymore.
"How are we going to find Greedo in this place?"
"Let's try a cantina."
"Wait a minute. If he works for Jabba, wouldn't he be at his palace?"
"When bounty hunters fail a mission, they come to a cantina to get drunk before they go back to Jabba."
"So they wouldn't feel as much pain."
"Exactly. Let's try in here." She followed him into the bar. The first thing Ahsoka was the sound of drunk people yelling giberish at each other. It smelled of alcohol and smoke. Anakin got some negative looks, but Ahsoka was getting unwanted attention. Anakin pulled her up next to him. Anakin spotted Greedo at the bar. He noticed that he was extremely drunk and wouldn't recognize his own mother. Anakin went to approach him, but Ahsoka held him back.
"What are you going to do?"
"He's drunk. He won't recognize me. I'm going to talk to him."
"Wait. I got a better idea."
"What?"
"You'll see. Stay here." She went over to Greedo and leaned against the bar. His head wobbled as he looked up at her. "Hey there. You Greedo?"
"Who-who's asking?"
"I am. I heard you're one of the best bounty hunters there is. Just came to...talk." He lazily looked her up and down.
"How old are you?"
"Does it matter?" He crookedly smirked. He drank down the last of his drink and looked back to her.
"What...what do...you want to...talk about?"
"I was wondering about getting you to do a job for me. I'll make it worth your wild." He put his hand on her thigh. She wanted to slap it off badly, but she needed to keep her cool. She felt Anakin's anger spark, but he tried to calm down.
"What's the job?"
"Before I tell you, I want to know about your previous jobs. I like to have background checks on my bounty hunters. How many have you done successfully?"
"Come in the back and I'll show you."
"No, no. If can't tell me about your missions, then I guess I'll have to find someone else."
"Alright. I have...successfully done...most of my jobs."
"Most of them? What was your last failed mission?"
"It was...killing a Senator...on Coruscant."
"A Senator? Which one? Senator Amidala?"
"No. His name was...Damn what was his name? Organa. Senator Organa."
"And you didn't kill him?"
"No. It was the last job I was...sent to do."
"Well, if you can't kill a simple senator, then I guess you're not my guy. Thanks anyway." She walked back over to Anakin and they casually walked out of the bar. Anakin turned to her.
"Well? What did he say?"
"He admitted it. He was the one that tried to kill Senator Organa."
"Good. Now if only we had proof."
"Now, Ani. You really think I would do this without getting proof?" She pulled a recorder from under her shawl. Anakin smirked at her.
"Have I ever told you how much I love you?" She smirked back.
"You've mentioned it a few times."
"Let's go back to the ship to inform the Council." They went back to their speeder and headed to the ship. Ahsoka gave Anakin the recording for safe keeping. Part of her thought that probably wasn't the best thing to do, but he would need it when he spoke with the Council. They made it back to the ship and contacted the Council. Anakin spoke with the Council while Ahsoka outside the ship. They may have been in the outskirts, but she felt someone near. Everything went black after that.
Anakin came back out the ship, but saw Ahsoka wasn't there. He saw her lightsaber and Padawan braid on the ground. He knew someone took her. He picked them both up and tried to get a vision from them. He saw Ahsoka getting hit in the back of the head. He couldn't see the face of the person who did it, but he recognized the shadow. Bane. Bane took Ahsoka. Again. Wherever he took her, it's not good. He had to find her. He jumped in the speeder and headed back to town.
Ahsoka's POV
When Ahsoka woke up, she found herself in a dark room. She felt something cold and metal around her neck. She reached for it and and found it was a collar attached to a chain. Her clothes were different. She now wore a red bra and a long red skirt. She looked around and saw people sleeping all over the place. She felt the floor rise up and down. She soon saw it wasn't the floor she was laying on. She looked up and saw Jabba asleep above her. She was in his palace and was his slave girl. Her chain was in his hand. She slowly and carefully slipped the chain from his hand. Once it was out, she carefully stepped down from his stomach. Once she was off, Jabba's eyes snapped open. He grabbed her chain again and pulled on it, choking her.
"Che ba ooh ka mis chi?" (Where do you think you're going?) His bounty hunters woke up and pointed their blasters at her. "Cho ba nuka esa besko. Mon shana ob geo wa." (You were trying to escape. You are my slave now.)
"Jabba, please. I'm a Jedi. You must remember me. My master and I saved your son."
"Bane hu che ni han wu shumi. Yousa ge oh bi." (Bane warned you would say that. You are lying.)
"I'm not lying, Jabba. Anakin Skywalker and I rescued your son, Rotta. You have to believe me."
"Onsi pe nat mesco." (Take her to the back.) Two bounty hunters grabbed Ahsoka and brought her in the back. They threw her into a random room. She heard a familiar gurgle. She looked up and saw Rotta. He looked happy to see her. She smiled, seeing that he remembered her.
"Hey there, Rotta. I see you seem to remember me." He slitthered over to her and cuddled up next to her. She picked him up and cradled him in her arms. He smiled at her and cooed. She heard a low grunt. She turned and saw Jabba at the door.
"Rotta ik ta yousa. Ti satto on chinni yousa in yousa wim onsa uni opti." (Rotta seems to like you. I will spare you and you will take care of him as his nanny.) He left and went back to the main room. Ahsoka was relieved that he wouldn't hurt her. She would be safe for now. She hoped that Anakin was looking for her. She wouldn't want to spend the rest of her life as a nanny slave.
"Anakin. Please come find me."
