Chapter Thirty Five: Strong
Salvadors cover as "Charles" has been working perfectly these past few days. Every Jedi in the hideout fell for his disguise one hundred percent. He had spent the first few days of his visit looking for someone strong enough in the light side of the force to suit his needs.
He attended strategy meetings held by the Jedis and started talking to everyone individually while not attracting suspicion. He was turning up nothing. None of these Jedi were powerful enough for what he needed. It was the fourth night of his stay and he was preparing to leave: he was already all packed with what he came here with and was halfway to the exit when he overheard two Jedi talking. "She still isn't back yet" one of them said.
"Yeah, she said she was going in search of Joes killer" the other replied. "But it's still unlike her to just run off like that, even though she may have had a personal involvement in the case on an emotion level"
"Yeah, she may not have been the most skilled of our Jedi, but she had the strongest connection to the light side out of all the Jedi here" the other replied.
Salvador stood still, listening intently waiting for a name.
"Poor Crystal, she looked to Joe as a father"
Salvador had heard that name several times during his visit. From what he was able to gather Crystal was a very promising Jedi Knight who lacked skill but made up for in power and connection to the light side of
the force. From what he heard of his battle experiences the light side seemed to always favor her over her opponents and always show her the way to victory that hurt less people.
A tiny grin appeared on Salvadors face. If this Crystal was truly going after the man who killed Joe then she would go back to the scene of the crime, the hotel in New York. If he moved now depending on her day of departure he could get there before her and meet her face to face.
This was the light of hope that he needed, this was what he required, he could feel his ultimate goal getting closer and closer as he walked towards the exit. Him and this Crystal girl would be the key to the apocalypse.
