"Count Dooku hired Cad Bane to kidnap the Senators!" Chancellor Palpatine said.
Booing was followed.
"Bane held four Senators and a Jedi! On top of that, he almost killed the Jedi! Dooku has broken a key part of the treaty! I quote: "If a Sith, Jedi or Senator is held against his or her own will, hurt in any way or killed, it will call for a large sum from the culprit or a call for war. The culprit's choice." We will not wait! Dooku will not pay the sum! He will call for war, so we will call it for him!"
Cheering was followed this time. Throughout all this, Padme' shook her head in disbelief. 'We just got out of war!' She thought. When Padme' went to her apartment, Anakin was already there.
"So, the war is coming back. Pathetic." He said.
Padme' let Anakin take her into his arms and she laid her head on his chest.
"Annie, I don't think the war ever ended."
"Dooku won't take a loss." Anakin agreed.
Padme' reached up and kissed Anakin. Anakin felt that it was going to be a long time before he saw her again once he left. 'Here we go again.' They thought at the same time.
THE END
