Rey POV
"What?"
"Darth Vader froze him in carbonite and transported to Tatooine to Jabba the Hutt. He hung on the wall for a year until my mom and uncle rescued him."
"And that did not teach him not to borrow money from people?"
"Nope."
I laughed.
"Shush," said Toby.
Up above us, we heard Solo begin to talk to the thugs. "Can I help you boys?"
We looked up through the grate in our hiding place and described the scene to Toby. "One human male, five behind him. All heavily armed."
"Where is our money Solo?" said one of them.
"I don't have it."
"Break his legs," said the leader.
"I don't have it with me, you idiot. No one carries that kind of credits around unless they want trouble. Better to keep them with Leia, on D'Qar. Right now, I am on my way to go get it. I can meet you with it in any system."
"He wants me to believe that he is going to meet me with the money that he is going to get from his wife," said the alien to the other. "Do you believe that?"
"Get him boss!"
"Give me the money now, Solo, or I am going to take your ship and dump your ass at the nearest system."
"Listen fellas, we can work this out," said Han, "I can-"
"Is that a BB-8 unit?" said one of the thugs.
"Yeah," said the other one. "Hey, the First Order is looking for a BB-8 unit, and they are paying a pretty credit to get it. Give us it, and we will call it even, Solo."
"Time to get involved," whispered Toby.
As we move in the cramped compartment to get out and fight the thugs, I saw three buttons located on a side panel. I hit them, hoping they would set off some system that would distract the thugs allowing Solo to run.
"Do you think hunting rathtars is cheap," said Han, "I spent the money."
"Kanjiklub wants their investment back too," said the leader.
"I never made a deal with Kanjiklub," said Solo.
Suddenly, we heard a door open and boots hitting the metal as someone, I assumed Kanjiklub came in.
A male started shouting in a foreign language, that I could not understand, but it sounded a lot like, "pay or die."
I look to Finn and we turned around. Toby sighed and repositioned himself so that he could crawl to get under the commotion.
"Wait!" cried Solo. "Now everyone is going to get what I promised. Have I ever not delivered."
"Yeah!" said the Gaulivan leader.
The Kanjiklub leader said something also.
"What was the second time?" asked Han.
"Your game is old there is no one left for you to swindle," said the Gaulivan leader. "Wait. That is a BB-8 Unit. The First Order put a bounty out on one just like it, and three fugitives."
We all stare at each other in a panic.
"First I have heard of it," said Han.
A thought occurred to me. "Wait, if we close the blast doors in that corridor we can trap the gangs."
"How?" asked Finn.
"I can reset the fuses."
"Let's do it," said Toby.
We all crawled quickly towards back towards the panel and I went to work on the panel. But it was dark and I could not see what I was doing.
"Oh, no," I said.
"What?" asked Finn.
"I hit the wrong buttons," I said.
"What does that mean," asked Finn.
Suddenly, three creatures came past out window headed towards Solo and the men.
"What are those?" I asked.
"Nothing good," said Finn.
"Go!," screamed Toby.
We took off towards the ships docking bay where Solo and BB-8 were. I heard one of the men say "Kill them and take the droid," and then there was a lot of screaming.
While we were crawling as fast as we could to get back to the docking bay, Finn by my side and Toby behind me, I heard all of the screaming and wondered what was going on.
"This was a mistake!" yelled Finn above the commotion.
"Huge!"
"Don't worry. Dad's smart, and can talk his way out of anything," said Toby.
Once we reached the port that let us into the hallway of the ship, Finn and I got out first, and then we helped Toby out. We ran through the ship to try to find Han and get back to the Falcon.
"What do they look like?" I asked the boys.
Before either of them could answer, Finn fell down on the hard deck, and the creature seemed to be dragging him. The creature looked like some alien with a squid face and tentacle bottoms.
"Finn!"
Toby hit the rathtar with a stick in an effort to free Finn, but the creature only growled and started to drag Finn away. Finn started screaming, as Toby and I followed after it frantically. Toby was trying to get close enough to the rathtar to hit it again forcing it to drop Finn. Then with a burst of speed, it disappeared into the corridors. Turning the corner, I saw it disappeared.
"Where did it go?" asked Toby.
"The control panel," I said.
We went to the middle of the ship where Han had a video feed of all of the corridors in the ship and buttons to close any blast door throughout the ship. I looked for the creature carrying Finn.
"Top right," said Toby.
I looked to the screen, and saw the creature carrying Finn through a doorway. Once its body was in but Finn was still outside, I hit the button slicing the creature's tentacles. Finn dropped to the floor.
"It worked," I said. "Let's go," and took off towards that corridor.
