POV: Ahsoka Tano
"So, I uh, I have to ask. Do you have any news for me? Anything about perhaps, where Barriss is?"
Anakin shook his head.
"I'm sorry, Ahsoka. But no. We've actually had to take a break from our…illicit investigation."
"What? Why?"
"We think Master Yoda was beginning to suspect that we were trying to figure it out. He met with me and asked me if I was investigating where Barriss was and that I wasn't allowed to do so. I can't tell for sure, but I think he may have had suspicions. And we can't help if Master Yoda finds out."
I nodded.
Padme's comlink rang and she answered.
"It's my contact. Yes?"
After a moment she nodded.
"I'll inform her."
"According to my contact, Barriss was placed on a shuttle destined for Mirial. He doesn't know for sure if that was completely accurate, but it's somewhere to start, right?"
"Mirial. No, I don't think they would send her there."
"Why not?"
"Well think about it. They may have sent me to Shili, but it would be too obvious for them to send both us to our respective home planets. I mean, still check it out, in case I'm wrong, but I don't think she's there."
"You might be right," Anakin said as realization dawned in his eyes.
"Can you stay for dinner?"
"No. We should get back. It was nice seeing you again. We'll come see you as often as we can, but it might be a while before we can. I think we were pushing our luck by doing so this time."
