Author's Note: Another short chapter, I know. But I plan on having the entire next chapter be devoted to Kira confronting Jungkwon, our Jedi Knight who she has a rough history with. So I wanted to use this chapter just to intro that, so stay tuned!

Jaesa and Kira were waved into Sahesri's chambers hurriedly upon their arrival at the Citadel. Their master's eyes glanced up from the datapad he was looking over at their arrival and his eyes widened with relief when he saw it was them.

"Girls, have you been successful?"

Jaesa said nothing and just opened up the bag in her hands and dumped it's contents onto the floor. Out rolled the head of the Sith Lord Abaron.

"Cipher Nine has also liquidated all of Lord Abaron's holdings and transferred it into Imperial accounts. Seems like he was siphoning off funds to keep to himself." Kira reported.

"Damn it. Well at least he has been ended. This will destabilize the traitors significantly. I am impressed with you both girls."

They both smiled and bowed before their Master. "Now our task force was able to round up the rest of the traitors and they now fill the dungeons. Tommorow we will have an audience before the citizens of Dromund Kaas so that they may watch the traitors' execution."

He stood up and walked to a computer terminal to check the latest data from the fleet. "I never wished to be a paranoid leader constantly looking over his shoulder."

"Well Master, you have reason to be concerned" Jaesa offered.

"I know, I know." he sighed.

A Guardsman entered Sahesri's chambers. "My liege, Darth Nox has arrived at the Citadel. Shall I send her in?"

"Yes please, bring her here immediately."

Sahesri smiled at the grin that appeared on Jaesa's face. She probably had already known that Casia had returned due to their bond.

"Come sit down girls."

Casia walked into the room covered in dirt and her robes were ripped to shreds. She bowed respectfully to Sahesri and looked over to Kira and Jaesa.

"Who are you and what have you done with my girl?" she asked, staring at Jaesa's newly blonde locks.

Jaesa just grinned and ran up to her love and wrapped her arms around her. "I missed you."

"I missed you too Gorgeous."

"Not to break up this sweet moment but don't you have a report to make?"

Casia smiled and pulled away from Jaesa for a moment. "My apologies my friend. After a very exhausting hunt, Khem and I were successful. Jungkwon Karresh has been captured and awaits your interrogation in the Dungeons."

Sahesri surveyed his friend's disheveled state with an amused smile. "Didn't make it easy for you did he?"

"I got the job done didn't I? The Ghost never fails!"

"Indeed the Ghost never lets her prey escape. I think perhaps I'll go see our Jedi friend. Would you like to come with me Kira?

If you had asked her when she first rejoined the Sith if she was strong enough to confront her former lover she would've said no. But she was confident now in her place within this new Sith hierarchy, Jungkwon had left her high and dry for his own ambition to be a master and Jedi Council Member after she had done nothing but be devoted to him and love him with her whole heart. She needed to see him, she needed to let her long-buried feelings out.

Jaesa walked over to her and gave her shoulder a reassuring squeeze. "Give 'em hell, Carsen."

Casia probably sensing Jaesa's reasoning for the encouragement through their bond gave Kira a reassuring smile. "You'll be fine little one."

"Yes Master. I will go with you."

There is nothing to fear but fear itself

She kept repeating that to herself over and over as she followed Sahesri towards the dungeons. Hoping that maybe by the time they reached their destination, she would believe it.
