A Second Chance
Chapter 14
Anakin glared at the scientist, he was outraged that they had been outsmarted by her again. The plan had always seemed so foolproof, but once more Zan Arbor had one last trick up her sleeve. Siri had never been in a more precarious position than she was now. The time was ticking.
It was all Anakin could do not to shout out with rage, but he managed to calm himself. He needed to speak with Obi-Wan, and as soon as possible. Siri's life might be depending on it. Eventually Zan Arbor left, a bit miffed that he had said and done nothing in response to her threat.
Anakin pulled out his comlink and pressing in a coded sequence that only Obi-Wan would be able to decipher. He knew he would be under surveillance so, he'd hidden a comlink and diverted the guard's attention with the Force when he was searched. Now it was time, the time when they could return in absolute victory or to have failed miserably.
Obi-Wan heard his comlink being signaled and went to retrieve the message. Looking at it his heart jumped in his throat. Anakin's message was simple. Package delivered, bait not taken. Please come. His worst fears had been realized, Zan Arbor wasn't going to fall into their plan quite so simply. Obi-Wan wasted no time, he left his hiding spot and quickly approached the building.
He quickly looked at the surveillance on the outside. Some droids once more, but that was about it. Still Obi-Wan didn't take any chances. He came in across the fence in the same manner he and Anakin had the last time. He quickly used his lightsaber to get through the door that had been replaced since the last time.
His heart was racing as he quickly moved through the hall, not out of fear but out of concern. Siri was now in even more of a precarious position than she had ever been in her entire life. In the past few days he had truly realized the feelings that had always been there for Siri. He knew that a part of him would die if she did.
He once more sliced through the door that Siri was behind. Siri looked even more of a shell of the person she once was. Her skin was now not only pale, but it was taking on a grayish tinge. He would believe that she were already dead, were it not for the monitors on her. Obi-Wan moved to her side, trying to hold back the tears swelling.
"Obi-Wan, there is nothing you can do," Siri's ghost said sadly. "I was taken off lifesupport," she said.
"I'm not giving up on you Siri. I will return soon," Obi-Wan said, and once again he moved through the hallways avoiding the unidentifiable guard. He used the Force to tell him where Anakin would be. He find him soon enough and cut a hole through his cell.
"It's about time," Anakin said jumping up and rushing to get out of the hole.
"I had to check on Siri first," Obi-Wan answered handing Anakin his lightsaber.
"How is she?" Anakin asked.
"Not well, we need to move quickly," Obi-Wan replied.
The Jedi moved through the hallways as fast as they could, but right when they reached the door a voice stopped them in their tracks. "Just where do you both think you are going?" said Jenna Zan Arbor's voice.
