He followed her through winding paths and old and crumbling passageways. Both Luke and the mysterious woman were silent as they got nearer and nearer to their destination. Unfortunently, just as they slowed as if they have finally reached their destination, a shot fired at them. Luke having sensed the danger a millisecond before it happened was able to get the woman and himself out of the path of the shot. Many stormtroopers ran out and surrounded them.

"Put your hands up and face the wall!" shouted the captain of the stormtroopers.

Having no choice and being thoroughly surrounded, Luke and the woman complied.

Luke and his guide were separated and he was taken to the Imperial Palace. As all this took place, Mara Jade was witnessing to all of this and following Luke silently.

Lando was having no luck at finding out where Luke went. No one in Nar Shaddaa had heard any rumors concerning Darth Vader or the infamous Luke Skywalker who had a high bounty on his head placed by the Empire. As he slowly entered the Millennium Falcon, he almost collided with a flying object.

Leia was getting more and more agitated because of the lack of news of Luke and she was taking it out on the Millennium Falcon.

"Hey! Watch where you throw that! You're going to damage my ship if you're not careful." exclaimed Han as he watched the Princess throw and kick around things near her.

Leia shot a piercing glare at Han as he stood up to stop her.

"It has been months! Months since I have seen him! He could have been tortured by the Emperor multiple times by now, all the while crying for us to help him. What if we're too late? What if - "

"DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT THAT!" interrupted Han forcefully. "Luke is Luke. He always comes through in the end. He'll be ok."

"You really think that?" Leia said hopefully.

"Yeah. He'll be alright."

"Arrooo wrooof." agreed Chewie.

"Yeah. I agree with Han. I may not know Luke as well as you do, but I could tell from the first time I met him that he can be very strong when he needs to be." added Lando.

Suddenly, Lando found small, easy-to-miss beacon on the floor.

"Hey guys! I think you should come and look at this. It looks like a tracking device."

"Awwww…" groaned Han as he looked the object over. "Jabba must have planted this somehow on our clothes or on this ship so he could track us." He stomped the device to smithereens.

"Prepare to have some company in the next few days. In the meantime, Lando, try to find out if anybody at all has heard of where Luke is. Hurry."

As Boba Fett went into hyperspace, he settled back into his seat to think. Where would the Ubese bounty hunter that had robbed Jabba the Hutt of his "wall decoration" be? Would he still stay on the same planet as he did when he discovered the tracking device that was planted on the alien's clothes?

After the Ubese bounty hunter had left with Han Solo, Jabba the Hutt had offered a large sum to Boba Fett to find the bounty hunter alive and bring him before the large kingpin of crime.

Boba Fett pondered on the hutt's description of the figure who snuck into Jabba's Palace in the dark.

Yes. Sounds like this bounty hunter is Boushhl. I shall first go to Nar Shaddaa where the last signal of the tracking device was detected and perhaps also get some information while there.

It shouldn't be long until I catch Boushhl.

Hey. Hope everyone had a great New Year. Being bashed with multiple projects that can either pull my grade down or guarentee my grade for the quarter. Sorry I didn't update sooner. Don't forget to review! I love to hear feedback.

BDV - Happy holidays to you too. Yep, it gets very interesting as I have thrown Boba Fett in the mix hunting for "Boushhl."

Sage-Doomhunter - Yeah, this chapter is not much but I guess it will have to do for this post. As to what happened. I am being hit over the head by projects from all my core subject teachers. Ouch…
