Toby POV
"Chewie, comb every inch of this ship. There is no telling what they have done to it since I lost it."
There was a roar in response as Chewie agreed to his assignment and went off traipsing through the ship. My dad stepped over the smugglers hold and Finn let out a short gasp. I closed my eyes, and tried to consider the best way to kill that guy.
"Chewie, we got company!" yelled my dad, and Chewie thundered over with his crossbow.
The hold lifted up, guns pointed at us. I was half hoping that they would just shoot us and be done with it.
"Who are you kids?" asked my dad.
Chewie roared and pointed at me.
"Where?!" he roared. He looked at me hard for a second. I looked back at him. He looked older by a few years, but he hadn't changed too much. "Toby? Is that you?"
"How do they know you?" asked Rey.
"They're my family," I said.
"Get out of there, kids. All of you!" commanded my dad.
I jumped out of the hold, and helped Rey out. The minute I was done, I was wrapped into a big bear hug by Chewie.
"Hey, Uncle Chewie. I missed you too."
He roared angrily at me saying that they thought I was dead and he was in mourning.
"I am sorry. I got captured by the First Order. I could not get any word out to anyone. It took me a long time to escape."
Chewie roared that he should have come and got me. He was glad that his little nephew was okay, and I should not go on solo missions anymore. He was going to tell my mom that.
"Mom, will send me wherever she needs me, Chewie. I can't help that."
"Mom?" asked Finn. "Your mom is Princess Leia Organa, General of the Resistance?"
"Yeah."
"That's nothing. I'm his dad," said my dad. He gestured for Chewie to let me go and I walked over to him and gave him a hug.
"Hey dad."
"Hey kid," he said, hugging me. "So what happened on the mission?"
I sighed and decided it was time to come clean. "Kylo Ren showed up. He hunted me down and we fought hard. He is strong in the dark side, and he blinded me and captured me. It took everything I had to escape."
"How did you escape?" asked Finn. "Starkiller base in impenetrable."
"Uh… training."
"What happened, son?" asked Solo.
"I...I choked the guards, and got a blaster, and killed everyone. Then I stole a ship. But I was shot down and landed on Jakku, where I met them."
"You used the Dark Side," said my dad.
"I had to get out of there. They were-" I cut myself off.
"What son?"
"I can't explain how they did it, but it was like they were sucking me dry of the force," said Toby. "It was like they were feeding on my life and it was fueling Ben's. I had to do anything to get out of there."
"So you use the Dark Side and stoop to their level?" asked Finn.
"Okay. Your new, and you weren't there!" I screamed. I was shaking now, and certain things around the ship were moving too. "I know what your encounter is with the First Order, buddy. Let me explain torture to you!"
"Okay, okay, shh!" said Rey, coming over to me and drawing me into a hug. "It's okay. No one is ever going to hurt you again. It's over." She looked to my dad. "We need to get the droid to your wife, Leia. He has the map to Luke Skywalker!"
"The map to Luke! No one has heard from Luke in six years. Is it really possible to find him?"
"We think so, with this droid."
"Alright, let's get going," said my dad walking towards the cockpit.
"You know where mom is?" I asked.
"Of course I know where your mom is. We talk all the time. They are on a base on D'Qar."
"See told ya," I said to Finn.
"Alright who has flown ships before?"
My hand went up. Rey hand wavered in the air. Finn shrugged.
"Alright, Chewie is co-pilot. All of you relax unless we get into trouble. I want the girl on the top cannon, Toby on the bottom cannon, and new kid, you just pray to whatever god you desire that we make out alive, all right."
"Wait, you think we are going to get into trouble?" asked Finn. "Like from the First Order?"
"No. What would the First Order want with us? This is the plan in case we run into pirates or bounty hunters who work for the First Order."
"What!"
"Chewie punch it to D'Qar."
Chewbacca roared and the stars looked like they were going to be flashing by us. But instead something stopped it. Uncle Chewie roared again.
"What do you mean, were stuck?"
Chewbacca growled his response.
"Tractor Beam? From who?"
Han looked out the window, and saw a ship floating towards us. "Aw, damn it. That's Gaulivan Death Gang!"
"You owe them money?" I asked dryly.
"No, they think I owe them money."
I shook my head. My dad was always getting into trouble without mom.
"Okay. What's the plan?" asked Rey, eager to help.
"I don't want you guys getting involved, so we need to hide you," said my dad.
"Back to the smugglers hold, we go," said Finn.
"No, that's the first place they will look. Hide in the lower corridors of my freighter," commanded my dad opening the hull of his ship.
Without questioning his logic, I went as Uncle Chewie led the way down into my dad's ship. When he found us a spot, we all hunkered down and got quiet. I was very close to Rey as we heard docking bay open as the gang approached my dad.
"Your dad always getting into trouble?" asked Rey, grinning.
"This is nothing. Once he got frozen for a year by a Hutt."
