Coruscant Prison
Damion was brought to the prison by the clone troopers. Anakin believed that he actually kidnapped Ahsoka. Damion wondered how Anakin found them in the first place. He knew that Ben and Laura wouldn't say anything. Maybe they were tortured to tell. He was thrown into the same cell with them.
"Damion! Are you okay?"
"Yeah. What happened?"
"Anakin found us and took Ahsoka back to the temple. How did he even find us? Do you guys tell him?"
"Of course not. We would never do that."
"Yeah. We care about Ahsoka. We knew she didn't want to go back."
"Then how?"
"Because I told him." They turned and saw a familiar red headed girl.
"Candi? You sold us out?"
"I was just helping a desperate Jedi Master trying to find his Padawan. Is that a crime?"
"No, but you just gave away my girlfriend to the Jedi. How sick can you possibly be? She didn't want to go back. Don't you think if she did, she wouldn't have left in the first place?"
"Whether she wanted to be back or not, she's out of my life and out of my hair. Now, there's nothing to get in the way of me and you. Now, there can be an us." Damion stood up and looked her staight in the eye.
"Are you serious? Don't you understand that there will never be an us? Even before Ahsoka ever got here, I've never been attracted to you and I've never wanted anything to do with you. There's never going to be an us and there's nothing you can do to make me want you." She took out a small bag of credits.
"Even if I bail you guys out?"
"Where did you get that much money?"
"It's the reward money for turning in Ahsoka. He offered a lot and I took it all. So, here's the deal. I bail all three of you out and in return, we become a happy little couple forever and you'll never have to think about boring old Ahsoka again. What do you say?"
"No deal, Candi."
"Fine. I'll give you some time to think about it. My offer still stands." She walked away, leaving the three to themselves.
"Can you believe the nerve of that girl? What would make her think I'd ever want her." Laura stood up.
"That doesn't matter. We need to figure out how to get out of here."
"Hopefully, Ahsoka will be able to help her. I can only imagine what's going on between her and her master right now."
Jedi Temple
Ahsoka was furious with her master. She was mad that not only did he have Damion, Laura and Ben arrested, but he didn't believe her when shetold him that they didn't kidnap her. After her welcome back from the Council, she and Anakin went to their quarters.
"Ahsoka, I know that things were rough between us when you left, but I promise things will be a lot better. I promise I will treat you better no matter how bad my temper gets. I will make things right between us."
"You can start by letting my friends go. They didn't do anything to me."
"Ahsoka, you're still traumatized and you believe that they were your friends, but they're not. They were trying to hurt you without you knowing about it. I don't know what they wanted you for, but you will never have to see them again."
"Why don't you believe me when I tell you anything? This is one of the reasons I left in the first place. You don't listen to me. You think I just a naive little girl that doesn't know anything beyond the temple life. Well, I'm not! I know who to trust and who not to trust. I trust them. They took me in when I had no place else to go."
"You're lucky I founf you in time. They could've changed you."
"Changed me? How would they change me? And how dd you find us anyway?"
"I got a tip from a young lady that knows you litte 'friends.'"
"Wait. Did this girl happen to look my age with red hair?"
"Yeah. You know her?"
"Candi. That bitch. What did she tell you?"
"She told me everything. She told me how they tricked you into thinking they were good and that Damion boy tricked you into falling for him. You're lucky I found you before he made you do anything else."
"They didn't trick me to do anything! Candi lied to you because she doesn't like me or the fact that Damion's not attracted to her! She lied to you!"
"She didn't lie about where you were."
"And that's all that matters to you? Don't you care that you're putting innocent people behind bars?"
"You don't know who they really are."
"I know more about them than you do, but you don't care about that! You don't care about the innocent lives that you just ruined." She then started yelling at him in Togruti.
"Ahsoka! Ahsoka, you know I can't understand anything you're saying when you speak Togruti! Speak basic! Please!" She glared at him.
"You don't even want to know what I just said to you in basic." She walked out and headed to down the hall. She knew she had to get Damion and the others out of prison. She knew Anakin wouldn't listen to reason and she would need help to get them out. She would have to break them out, but she wasn't sure how. The Coruscant Prison wasn't the Citadel, but it wasn't all that easy to get in and out of without getting caught. She would need the help of someonewho had experience breaking out of any kind of prison. She knew only one person that could help her.
Ooooh. Who do you think she'll ask for help? R&R and I'll update to tell you who.
