Chapter Twenty-five

Obi-wan escorts you back to the apartment and discusses his progress with Captain Typho while you make tea.

You hear them mumbling and are convinced they're saying she wont like that, she'll come; I swear she'll do it!

You place the tea gently on the tray and carry it out into the main room. You place it loudly onto the table and Typho jumps.

Obi-wan simply turns to regard you coldly.

You offer them tea and join in their conversation.

"So" you begin, blowing gently on your tea as you sit on the back of the large sofa looking out onto the Coruscant skyline. "What's next, we go to Kamino right?" you ask, looking innocently up at Obi-wan from the side of your cup.

"I will be continuing my investigation, yes" Obi-wan gently insists. "Besides, no one is to know that the senator has left the Capitol, if you do, what will the assassins think?"

"I'll be a decoy, you'll escort me off world, and I'll pose as the senator leaving with her Jedi protector"

Typho begins to open his mouth to object but you cut in nodding "good, I'll go pack then"

You walk out of the room and straight to your own.

Once there you close the door lean against it and collapse to the floor.

Tears fall down your cheek.

After a few minutes you make your way over to your desk, open the draw and take out some writing paper.

You pen a letter to Adin.

My love,

I miss you dearly and wish you were here with me. I need you to help me be strong. I'm trying to continue like I normally would but I just feel cold and empty. I think others are noticing it too.

You pause to reread what you have written and a tear slides down your cheek and smudges the blue ink.

You try to dry it with a wipe of you finger but only smudge the word further.

A knock at your door wakes you from you reverie and you call out "Just a minute"

As you attempt to straighten your dress and wipe away your tears you answer the door and find Typho standing before you.

"I thought I should check on you." He simply states.

You throw your arms around your old friend and cry into his chest.

He gently rubs your back until you calm down.

"I'm sorry" you say as you pull back and wipe you face. "I'm just kinda all over the place at the moment" you add with a smile as you sit on the end of the bed.

Typho sits opposite you at your desk regarding you with a soft smile.

"I know it's been hard, but you really can't go to Kamino. It's not safe"

"Where is" you ask harshly. "I've lost my family, my friends, my soul mate. I'll never have that again; I've never had that before! What am I supposed to do Typho, tell me and I'll do it. All that's keeping me sane at the moment is working. Don't make me stay here and sit still."

He nods gently and rises, he places a small kiss on the top of your head before walking towards the door.

"Master Kenobi will be here later in the hour to collect you for the flight; I said you'd be ready"

You nod gently sharing a smile with him before he walks back out into the main room.

You pack.
