Chapter 9
Cad Bane awoke a few hours later, sore and dizzy. 'It feels like I've been hit by a military hovercraft,' his thoughts said to him and he then remembered what had happened earlier that day.
"Bane?" someone asked and he turned his head to see Tierra, with a plate of food.
"How long was I out?" he asked, just as Tierra checked the bruises on his stomach and then his bandaged eye, they were healing quite nicely.
"All morning, it looks like your eye is going to be fine, can you walk?" she replied and Bane stood up from the bed and a shot of pain singed through him. Tierra had him lie back down.
"I'll have the medical droids give you more pain killers," she said and began to feed him what was on the plate. Bane knew it was some meat, but he was not sure what it was.
A medical droid came by to give Bane more pain killers and he was advised in getting more rest, but he refused. "I don't want to delay the mission on the account of my well-being," he said to Tierra and tried again to walk.
Bane succeeded this time, but every step was like walking on sharp needles. "I've been through worse," he told Tierra.
"I bet not as bad as this," she replied, walking beside him.
Then, Valeriu came into the medical ward and rage filled Bane. "Bane, I just want to say-" "Spare me your shit," the bounty hunter cut him off, "You were in on the whole thing with Roydon!" he shouted and it actually hurt his ribs when he yelled.
"I swear, I did not know that Roydon would accuse you of anything," Valeriu said, but Bane did not believe him.
"Valeriu," Tierra said to the young man, "I believe it's best for you to leave him alone for a while."
Valeriu nodded his head and was about to leave, when he handed over a case with the 5,000 credits. "I am sorry, Bane," Valeriu said and Bane took the case and the young man left.
"If you are well enough to walk, I want you to come with me, I've retrieved some security holograms from the place we went to last night and I am certain that it will feature your meeting with your client," Tierra explained to Bane.
In the computer room, Tierra and Bane looked over the security hologram and found the point where Bane met with the dark stranger.
"Damn, I can't see his face or anything significant," Tierra said and was about to shut off the computer, but Bane intervened.
"What's that there?" he asked, pointing to what looked like a roadster hovercraft and Tierra enhanced the image, but was only able to see a little of it. However, they noticed some numbers '93-2', but it was not all of the numbers.
Tierra checked the numbers on all available roadster hovercrafts on Coruscant, but the computer came up with millions of results.
Then an idea came to her head; she listened to Bane's client's voice, again, and checked the pitch of it and had the computer do a search on the billions, perhaps zillions of humans and aliens who had the same pitch and those who spoke the Galactic Standard language.
"That will take a lifetime," Bane said to her.
"Well, we have to try something, otherwise this case will grow cold," Tierra replied and had the computer send the results on her mini-com.
"In the mean time, Celio said we can join the Moonlight Festival," she added and Bane realized that he had forgotten about it and of his plan.
A little later, both of them ventured out into the city, where the sun was setting and the streets were full of parades. Private parties were held in bars and high-rise apartments. Music filled the senses and there were kiosks selling everything under the sun.
In one square, there was a dancing group, where both Bane and Tierra got caught in. Everyone clapped and jumped on their two feet, spinning in circles in a fast pace. The rush of the dance took Tierra's breath away, but as the dance came to an end, she 'bumped' into Bane.
"I've had enough of this," she said, panting.
"Come with me, I know a place where no one will bother us," Bane replied, leading her away from the dancing party.
Before they went to Bane's 'secret place', they discovered Valeriu being kicked out of a line to a bar. "Hey! You nimrods! What is it with you?! Can't I get just one drink?!" he shouted at the aliens who served as security.
"Valeriu, what's going on?" Tierra asked and the young man noticed.
"It seems that this bar doesn't like me very much, mainly due to the fact that I owe them quite a lot," he replied. Bane shook his head and pulled out a few hundred credits.
"Will this cover it?" the bounty hunter asked.
"You really didn't have to do that," Valeriu replied, but Bane shook his head, again.
"I know a place better than this, follow me," the Duro said, again, and led Valeriu and Tierra away.
They got into a hovercraft where Bane punched in coordinates for where he knew a bar that served beer and alcohol at a reasonable price. They were above the buildings and the hovercraft flew towards their destination.
Bane stopped at a building with a flat roof, but it was full of bars and restaurants. The building's roof had a garden full of trees and different flowers.
"There," Bane pointed to a bar where it was partially full, but Valeriu gave him a look. "What? You might like it, give it a shot. By the way, tell the owner that I recommended this place to you," Bane added and Valeriu went in.
"This way," Bane said to Tierra.
"Where are we going?" she asked as he led her towards the roof.
"I thought you deserve a front row seat for tonight," he replied and they headed up.
The garden roof was empty and Tierra liked this as she did not like crowds, plus it was very quiet as the hovercrafts were flying way below the roof.
"I came across this place almost by accident when I was hired to take out a mob boss from the Undercity district and he sort of ruled this building with an iron fist. After I finished killing him, some of the owners who run businesses here paid me a very big chunk and said that I could come and get my drinks for free," Bane explained to Tierra.
"Ah, so that's why you told Valeriu to tell the owner your name," she replied and adds, "But I have a feeling that you have another reason in bringing me here."
Then, Bane placed both his hands on her cheeks and stared deep into her black eyes. Tierra's heart began to pound for some reason, she knew that something was about to happen.
"So I can do this," Bane said in a whisper and then kissed her. Tierra realized that this was not like the other kisses she had the last time; it was more tender and passionate.
'Has he fallen for me?' Tierra wondered and for a moment, she felt like putting down her guard as the kisses were becoming almost fierce.
Then, Tierra broke away when she noticed a metal structure with satin sheets hanging from the top beams and she raced towards it, with Bane in pursuit.
Under the structure there were small sized trees with lounge chairs that had comfortable bedding. 'At last, no silk,' Tierra thought and laid down on one, just as Bane appeared.
He took off his hat and placed himself over Tierra, his mouth hovered over her neck, letting out his hot breath. He placed one hand over her breast and they shared another, deep kiss, just as the fireworks began.
Bane then moved his hand over Tierra's womanhood and squeezed it and Tierra let out a moan, a real moan. Then, Tierra began to unbuckle Bane's pants and he did the same to her.
Bane got in between her legs and his member was eager to enter her. He thrust himself hard and fast into Tierra, while holding up her legs.
"Bane..." Tierra moaned, again, and realized that the passion was real. They did not pay attention to the fireworks. The fireworks exploded in color and sparks.
Bane went deeper into Tierra and he did it hard, letting out gasps of hot air from his mouth. He continued to thrust hard and fast, his member going deeper into Tierra's womanhood.
"Bane...I'm nearly..." Tierra gasped, the climax was coming.
"No..." he said, "Not yet..." he commanded, but he couldn't stop it from coming. With all his strength, his thrusts became harder and faster.
He gave one last thrust before exhaling out a hot breath and he spilled his seed into her. Tierra also let out a breath, her forehead was drenched in sweat, and she had her arms around Bane's back the entire time.
Bane slipped out of her, but hovered over her, placing a hand over her cheek. "Tierra..." he said, almost panting. He was about to kiss her, when something caught his attention when one satin sheet moved in the wind.
There was a hovercraft and there were two aliens, an Umbaran and Yevetha, but Bane knew who they were. Ulises Dalgaard and Severino Lachance stared at him, even when their hovercraft went down to the story below.
"Is everything okay?" Tierra asked, noticing Bane's change in his face.
"Yes," he replied, but he knew that everything was not okay, and he had to do something.
He got off of Tierra, buckling his pants, and retrieved his hat. He also helped Tierra. "I'm sorry, but there's something I have to do," he said, "Something with these," he added, showing the case of 5,000 credits and the case of 75 million.
"Alright," Tierra replied in an uneasy tone.
"I shouldn't take long," Bane said and left the rooftop garden down to the floor below them, just as the smoke of the fireworks rolled in.
Bane located Severino down by the drop off for the hovercrafts and Severino looked out towards the horizon. "Well, it seems that you have seen better days," Bane said to Severino, who didn't say a word.
"Look, it was wrong of me to let you take the blame and then getting arrested," Bane said and threw both the cases to the ground. "Take this, it's all yours, and I know it's for-" Bane was backing away, when he bumped into the Yevetha, Ulises Dalgaard.
"You ratting us out, again? Huh, Cad Bane?" Severino asked, turning his head to face the Duro.
"What?" Bane said, he had no idea what Severino was saying.
"We heard that you have found something more valuable than Republic credits," the Umbaran said, walking towards Bane, "We want your girl and with that, we'll have your heart."
Bane was speechless, but his thoughts yell out at him 'Kill them! Don't let them-' But before Bane's thoughts could finish, he was hit from behind and he was out cold.

Back on the roof, Tierra was getting anxious and at first, she thought Bane had played her and ran off with the money.
However, a shape appeared in the darkness, and it was walking towards her. Tierra breathed a sigh of relief, "At first, I thought you ran off with the credits," she said.
Then, she heard two sets of feet walking toward her and that's when she saw two aliens, a Umbaran and a Yevetha.
"He did take off with the money," Ulises told her, but Tierra couldn't believe her ears and shook her head in disbelief. Ulises pointed to the edge of the roof and she saw a hovercraft and there was the familiar shape of Bane, wearing his hat.
"Cad Bane!" Tierra called after him, but he didn't seem to hear her.
"He said 'a trade, the credits for the girl with the power of manipulation'," Severino said and Tierra stared at the two in horror.
"He also said 'it's payback for doping me'," Ulises chuckled and reached his arms towards Tierra.
Tierra kicked at him, but he didn't fall, and she ran when she realized that she didn't have her dagger. 'Damn! Of all the nights for me to forget it!' her thoughts said.
Suddenly, the Yevetha jumped on her and clamped her mouth shut. Tierra knew what they were planning to do and she tried her best to move, but Ulises was so strong that it felt like she was being crushed.
Then, there was a 'WOMP!' and the Umbaran, Severino collapsed and Ulises turned around, but he, too, was hit and fell to the ground.
Someone was pushing the Yevetha off of Tierra and she saw who it was, Tytus Daube. "Miss Tierra!" he exclaimed, helping her up.
"Lord Daube, how did you know I was here?" she asked.
"I decided to follow you, I wanted to ask...but when I saw them attacking you! I had to do something!" Tytus said and adds, "C'mon, let's go before they come around!"
Tytus took a few steps away, but Tierra looked back out, seeing that Bane and the hovercraft he was on had vanished.
Tierra couldn't believe that Bane had sold her out and the love making was just a ploy. She turned to see Tytus Daube, who showed a face of concern and saw the misery on her face.
He walked over to her and held her tight, as Tierra began to cry. "You were right about Cad Bane," she sobbed and Tytus led her away.
"I know and I'm sorry for not giving enough details," he replied as they left the roof and he took her into his own hovercraft.

Meanwhile, the hovercraft that Bane was on came to a stop outside of a clone troopers' post and the clone troopers on duty, including the generals noticed it.
"Sir," one trooper said, "That's Cad Bane!"
The bounty hunter was coming to and the first word he spoke was, "Tierra?" He realized what had happened and calls out, "Tierra!"
Just then, the clone troopers jumped into the hovercraft, but Bane tried to fight back.
At the other side, Valeriu, having finished his drinks a while go, noticed something unusual at the troopers' post and used his binoculars to see what was going on and saw Bane being taken by the troopers.
"Let me go, you cowards! Tierra!" Bane shouted as he was being hauled away to prison.
Valeriu knew that something was wrong and he immediately ran back to Köder headquarters to get help.
From the author: Oh no! What's going to happen to Bane and Tierra? You will have to find out for yourself. And the truth will be revealed in the next chapter!
