Chapter 11- Midnight Swim
Later that evening, after the meeting, the Jedi joined the Royal family for dinner. The kitchen staff made sure to prepare Sasha's food without any of the seaweed anywhere in it this time. Once the meal was done, everyone called it a night and headed to bed. After changing into her pajamas, Sasha climbed into bed. She laid her head upon the pillow and closed her eyes. She didn't fall asleep.
She tossed and turned for an hour trying to fall asleep. It didn't help. Sitting up in bed, Sasha pulled her legs into criss cross. She then tried to meditate and clear her mind to see if it will help, but that didn't work either. Sighing, Sasha pulled out of the force and slumped forward allowing herself to be bent over her legs and her head resting on the bed. She rolled her head to look over to the window. An idea sparked her brain. Back in the temple a swim always helped when she couldn't sleep.
Sitting up, Sasha made her way out of the bed and over to the refresher. She changed into her swimsuit and scuba gear. She made her way to the door and opened it quietly. Once in the hall, Sasha glanced at her Master's door across the hall. Should I tell him where I'm going, she thought. Well if she did he would tell her not to go out for a swim in the ocean alone or maybe tell her not to go at all.
After arguing with herself for a moment, Sasha decided not to tell him. She made her way down to the front door of the palace, being extremely quiet. She then slipped out of the palace and towards the exit of the city. Once she got to the exit, Sasha slipped on her helmet and pushed through the jello like door into the water. She then pushed off and started to swim away.
Coming around the corner of the palace, a guard spotted the figure exiting the city. Slowly he made his way after it only to discover it was the young female Jedi. He vaguely remembers someone telling him that the young Jedi was allergic to the seaweed here. Making the smart move, he followed her just in case.
Sasha swam for a while and soon began to tire. Deciding to take a break by lying down on the beach, she swam up to the surface. Breaking the surface, Sasha pulled off the helmet and breathed in the fresh air of the surface. She then noticed a black box building jammed into the tree line on the beach and a long dock that stopped in the shallow end of the water. That's strange, she thought as she walked up to the beach. She was barely on the sand when the door to the building opened. Instantly, Sasha dove under the dock. The sound of feet was heard as it grew closer and closer to where she hid. The sound stopped right above her and she caught her breath. It was two battle droids from she could see through the boards of the dock.
"It is all clear," one of them said.
"Why does the commander keep sending us out here? There is never anything out here," the other said.
"Because the general said so," first one said. "Now let's return inside."
They left back into the building. Releasing the breath she was holding, Sasha crawled out from under the dock. Getting up, she looked up to the door. DROIDS?! She thought. But I thought that there were no droids this close to the city! Glancing back to the water, Sasha took of the gear and his it under the dock. She then made her way to the building. There was one camera that was pointed at the door. Knowing that is not a good idea, Sasha made her way around to the side of the building to find a way in. She found a vent blocked by a bush. She took off the vent lid and pushed the bush back. She crawled into the vent.
She crawled around for a while trying to find some clue as to what they were up to. Soon she heard the sound of talking. She stopped at another vent that looked into a room. In the room was a single battle droid and one of the commander droids.
"The General is waiting here," the battle droid pointed at the holoprojector in the room.
"Get our while I speak to the General," the commander said.
The battle droid left and the commander activated the projector. Sasha gasped silently when a hologram appeared of Grievous.
"General," the commander said. "We have received word that the Jedi are here."
"Did they bring their clones?" Grievous asked.
"I do not believe so, sir. King Lonarcch did not say there was any at the meeting earlier."
"Well that doesn't mean they are not far behind," Grievous said. "Have we found out what date is good for the attack?"
"Yes. In about a week the Prince of the Kulan's birthday will take place and the entire city will be there."
"That is perfect. We will take them by surprise and destroy the Jedi."
"Roger, roger."
Sasha had heard enough and now was the time to go. Quietly she made her way out of the vents and the building until she found the exit. Once outside she placed the vent lid back on and ran down the beach to where her gear was hidden. She threw it on as she made her way into the water. Diving into the water, she swam back to the city as fast as she could.
The guard had lost track of her and had been looking for her for a while. Suddenly the Jedi swam by him awfully fast.
"Miss Jedi, are you okay?' he asked after he.
"I'm fine, but we've got a problem," She said as she stopped. 'Now let's go!"
He followed her as she swam back to the city.
