„Save her. But promise me, you will treat her good.", said Thrawn and gave Kallus his weapon.

"We will", said Hera and took Kasari out of Thrawn's embrace and laid her onto the seats. She took the med pack and started to take car of Kasari. Kallus took Thrawn up and cuffed him to a seat next to Kasari.

A few years ago, …

"I don't care who you are! You little bitch!", screamed Kasari drunk through the bar.

The people were screaming fight, show her who's the boss or kick his balls! The atmosphere was filled with anger and tension. The man which Kasari screamed at was also drunk and ready for fight. Like her. The guest splinted into three groups. One supporting Kasari, the other supporting her challenger, and the last one was the total drunks.

"Ohh. Make a move! Or give up! I want my money!" screamed someone out of the crowd.

Approving mumbling from everywhere.

The man tried to hit Kasari, but she avoided his fist and countered with a kick to his stomach. A murmur went through the crowd. He stumbled back wards and fell into a table. The men sitting there kicked him and he stood up and run towards Kasari. He throws him on her and both rolled over the floor.

The door was loudly opened and everything froze.

Stormtroopers entered the bar. They formed an aisle. A white uniform could be seen first. A man, a blue alien with red eyes, stepped to the fighting couple. They stopped. He cleared his throat.

"Agent Joruic, I have order to escort you to the Challenger. If you would please follow me"

Kasari stood up and kicked onto her challenger's stomach.

"Who's order?" asked she.

"Captain Joruic. He is not pleased about your behavior," said the officer.

Kasari sniffed and spit on the floor.

"Bye, bye suckers," said she to the guests and walked out followed by the alien officer and the stormtroopers.

They walked in silence to the ship. After they entered it the alien officer pushed Kasari on the wall and said, "What did you thought? You are embarrassing the empire and your family. You can't get drunk every time someone mentions your mother,"

"I can and I will. And why did he send you, Thrawn?" babbled Kasari and tried to get out of Thrawn's grip. The ship started and Kasari fell on Thrawn. She stood up and walked on flabby feet to wards loo. Thrawn packed her at the shoulder and held her back.

"You drank and you won't get through it the easy way!" meant Thrawn and pulled Kasari towards him. Her face was paler than before.

"I don't think that's-," tried she to say before she throw up on Thrawn. He holds her up during she vomited herself on him. After she finished she asked, "We don't tell that Pa? Please?"

He holds her and patched her back. "Yes, we won't tell him something. But you will stop drinking? Kasari please, stop it. There will not be forever someone who is cleaning up after you. Please let someone help you," said he.

"Okay," said she and she sat down.

The ship landed in one of the hangars of the Challenger and Thrawn helped Kasari up. She looked like a frack.

"Let's get you cleaned up before we meet your Pa," Thrawn said and lead her out from the ship to her quarters. "Everything is going to be fine"

Back in the present

Hera flew the ship and Kallus sat next to Thrawn. Thrawn looked worried to Kasari. Kallus saw his few and sighed.

"She will be alright. She's tough. What happened between you two?" asked Kallus.

"Doesn't matter. How did you two get to know each other?" asked Thrawn back.

"She saved my life ones. She's a pretty faster shooter and a got combat fighter," meant Kallus.

"Thank you"

"For what?" asked Kallus surprised.

"I taught her how to fight. Before we met, she wasn't bad but also not good. We trained together the time I was one the Challenger," meant Thrawn.

They went quiet again. After twenty minutes Hera announced that they reached the rebel med ship. The airlock clicked and a med team entered. They took Kasari and brought her away. Thrawn looked at her.

"I told them what happened. They weren't happy," said she.

"I want to see her," meant Thrawn.

"First some intel. I need something to give the others," said she.

"You should stop using that old smuggling route between Naboo and Jakku. I give you more when she is save and I will stay with her," said he.

Hera nodded. "I think that is doable."
