So we get a little bit of Zare in here. I figured that he could be a good help.


After spending some time looking into Tua's cryptic hints, Kanan and Sabine decided to meet up with the one person that could potentially help them find where the Inquisitor was keeping Ezra: Zare. The only question was how to locate the undercover teen was. With Ezra usually being the one to instigate a meeting with Zare, neither Sabine nor Kanan were entirely sure how to make contact with him.

It would be a stroke of luck when Hera remembered that Ezra had asked her to set up a brnched communication system with Zare. They had prepared a series of discreet lines of communication, after relocating Jai, if they needed information or in case of an emergency. They had wanted to set up multiple communication lines so that they wouldn't raise the Empire's suspicion while still getting information as they saw fit.

Using a communication line in Ezra's tower, Sabine and Kanan were able to set up a meeting with Zare in one of Capital City's market places, a nearby alleyway being the most private area. Upon arrival, Kanan and Sabine filled Zare in on 'Dev's' situation.

"That's awful." Zare stated.

"I know." Kanan agreed. "That's why we need your help. Do you know anything about the whereabouts of the Inquisitor?"

"I can't say I don't know a lot about his whereabouts as of late. He hasn't been around the academy much, with his most recent visit being a few weeks ago, and he stopped making his biweekly visits."

Kanan let out a distressed sigh, a sense of disappointment taking over. It wasn't directed at Zare personally, but the fact that he didn't have a lot to report on wasn't helping.

"I've questioned it, trust me, but all they ever told me about it was how he had taken an interest in a new recruit that he wanted to test. It makes a lot more sense now, especially now that you've mentioned that Dev's involved. He was a little curious about him after he escaped."

Zare could see the anxiety on Kanan and Sabine's faces. A sense of guilt started to linger in the back of the teen's mind. Having spent some time with Ezra, he had started to form a friendship with him and wanted to help.

"Look, I can try to find out where the Inquisitor and when he gets close to Lothal, but it's going to take some time."

"You'd do that?" Sabine inquired, curious by his statement.

"Yeah," Zare admitted, "I sneak into their office every few days to see if there's anything new information on my sister. I can juggle between that and looking for Dev."

"That's great." Kanan thanked. "How soon can you get back to us?"

"I just checked today, I can get back to you in two days. If I don't find anything, I'll check in every other day. Will the communication line that you called me on be a good way to stay in contact with you?"

"Yes, and thank you for your help."

"It's my pleasure. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to get back before they start getting suspicious."

Giving Zare a nod, the teen departed, running in the direction of the Imperial loading dock. Kanan and Sabine would follow suit, returning to the Ghost. Knowing that they now had the means to locate Ezra, it would only be a matter of time before they could save him.


In the event you're wondering why the non Ezra centric episode tend to focus on Kanan and Sabine, it's mostly because they were the ones more involved with is capture (meaning they were present), and I wanted them to be the ones doing the investigating. Plus, I thought Sabine would want to be invested in it, whereas Kana would have taken the initiative anyway. ANd in case you're wondering about the every other day thing, for the sake of being above suspicion, I figured Zare wouldn't sneak in to a superior's office everyday.
