Lux was desperate. He didn't know how to come up with a plan to bust Ahsoka out of her restraints. But since he can't do it on his own, he'll have to contact the rebels on Atollon, but how?

First, he needed to speak with Ahsoka, alone. It seemed impossible with Grand Moff Tarkin, and two inquisitors watching her like a hawk. But he just has to. At that point, Lux didn't care about being caught and be labeled as a rebel sympathizer. He just needed to see her.

Lux made sure Tarkin and the inquisitors weren't in Ahsoka's cell when he visited her, so he went to the facility in the dead of night and used his position as senator to see 'the Jedi causing trouble in his home planet'.

But before he did, he didn't know what to do. He became restless and kept pacing in his estate—the estate that he bought during the early years of the Empire. Then the idea popped into him, but he first talked to Saw Gerrera via a holo-transmission patched into the rebel network before seeing Ahsoka.

"If you proceed with this," Saw pointed out. "You won't only be putting the general's life in danger, you're risking the stand of the growing rebellion and your position as senator. And when that happens, you'll be exposed as a rebel sympathizer and be labeled a traitor to the Empire."

"I know," Lux said. "But I don't care about that. I just want to get Ahsoka out of there. I can't stand seeing her restrained and tortured."

"Listen, Bonteri—"

"I've lost everyone close to me because of these wars," Lux insisted. "I cannot afford to lose Ahsoka too. Not now. And she's more than just a Jedi and a general, she represents hope in these dark times."

That same night, Lux visited the complex where Ahsoka was being held. And yes, despite the restrictions placed by Grand Moff Tarkin, he used his status as Senator to get through.

"This is a restricted area, Your Honorable," The officer in the detention cell warned. "And we are currently holding a very dangerous prisoner."

"I am aware of that," Lux replied. "I wish to see this prisoner who's causing insurgency on this very planet."

"With all due respect, Senator," The officer said. "We were specifically given strict orders to not to let anyone see the prisoner."

Lux was getting frustrated. "What is your operating number?"

The officer looked confused and suddenly nervous. "Um…"

"I beg your pardon?" Lux held his ground. "You know I can pass a motion to demote you for not following orders."

"Yes, sir," The officer faltered. "But I'm afraid—"

"Well, you should be afraid!" Lux interrupted. "If this motion gets to the Senate—"

"No!" The officer cried. "Sir, that won't be necessary." He sighed.

The officer eventually and reluctantly allowed him to see Ahsoka. Several stormtroopers were stationed to guard their 'dangerous prisoner' and Lux also had to go through several ray shield security doors.

He insisted on going in alone, which the guards were reluctant to do so, but he convinced them otherwise. That if the prisoner was truly a Jedi, she would not harm an unarmed man.

Thankfully, prison detention cells weren't equipped with holocams because apparently, it's sort of, a privacy violation, unless they're interrogated.

The two inquisitors were also nowhere to be seen. (Hopefully, it stays that way).

Ahsoka was still in an interrogation chair. The prison cell was dark say for the single, bright glow panel in the ceiling illuminating her. Her eyes were closed, and she looked tired and weary.

Just as the doors of Ahsoka's prison cell closed behind Lux, she spoke.

"What are you doing here?" Ahsoka asked. "You shouldn't be here, Senator."

Lux stepped closer and Ahsoka opened her eyes.

"Ahsoka, it's okay," Lux assured. "It's just me. And don't worry, no one can hear us."

Ahsoka frowned at him. "Lux, what are you doing here?" She insisted. "You're putting your life in danger."

"You don't have to worry about me, 'Soka," He assured. "You're the one I'm worried about. What in the universe were you thinking?"

"I had to give myself up for the rebel fleet to escape from Imperial reinforcements," She answered. "They won't stand a chance if they tried to get me out and there isn't time."

"I will get you out of here," Lux promised. "I don't know how, but I'll find a way."

"No," Ahsoka shrieked. "It's bad enough that you're here. If you're seen with me, you'll be labeled a traitor. I can't have that."

Lux sighed. "Then I'll have the rebels rescue you."

"No, no, Lux," She disagreed. "You don't understand. If there's one thing I learned during my days as commander in the Clone Wars, it's to not lose a thousand lives just to save one."

"What if that one person is the reason everyone came together for the one purpose?" Lux pointed out. "A purpose worth dying for."

Ahsoka snorted. "You're still annoying, and stubborn."

Lux smiled. "The stubborn part, I learned from watching you." He stepped closer to her and placed a hand on hers despite the restraints. "This will all be over soon."

He had to tiptoe just so he could kiss her because, well, Ahsoka's locked in an interrogation chair. Gladly for him, she kissed him back.

Part of Lux hoped that that night should just never end. He wanted to make up time with Ahsoka, and be there when she needed him the most. But the other part of him knew that it just doesn't work that way. They both have other obligations. The least he could do to help her was to contact the rebel base in Atollon and inform them what he knew.

When they broke free from the kiss, Lux caressed Ahsoka's cheek.

"I just realized," He said. "We never really spent some time alone. Just the two of us."

Ahsoka managed a smile. "Well, we tried, but we were always interrupted." She frowned. "Except for that time in Carlac."

"Your astromech droid was there." He reminded her. "So, yeah, that counts as an interruption as well." He said. "But regardless, I'm getting every information I have regarding this place so they'll know how to get you out."

Ahsoka's face darkened. "I wish it was that easy, Lux," She said. "But I think they're not keeping me here for long."

"What do you mean?"

"Tarkin mentioned that if I don't reveal anything," She said. "And I won't, they're taking me somewhere else." She said. "I don't know where and when."

"Then I better act quickly then."

"Lux, it's not necessary," Ahsoka insisted. "What's necessary is that they need to leave that place and relocate."

"Didn't they just settle?" He reminded her.

"I know, but with me being captured and me not revealing anything," She explained. "The Empire's gonna find other ways to make me talk."

Lux didn't like this. "What other ways?"

"Don't even think about it," She said. "Trust me, you don't wanna know."

He sighed. "Are you about this? I mean, where would they even go?" He asked.

"There's no other way," She huffed. "And they already know where to go. It's in our protocols. So, please, for everyone's safety, they have to evacuate."

"Ahsoka, I don't—" He started to say.

"Oh, no," Ahsoka interrupted. "Someone's coming!" She warned. "You need to get out of here, now."

"What?" Lux asked, like he'd misheard her. For a moment, he forgot that Ahsoka used to be a Jedi, meaning she could sense every movement around her if she paid enough attention.

"You need to go." She said urgently. "Hurry, before they see you here."

Lux gave her a quick peck on her lips. "I love you, 'Soka." He said before rushing out of her prison cell.

It was past midnight by the time Lux was able to return to his estate. He once again contacted Saw Gerrera through a holotransmission.

"You what?" Saw looked absolutely pissed. "You know by doing that you could've compromised us." He scolded. "The Empire is already hot on our tail and you just had to add to the fuel."

"Hmm, are you done?" Lux asked.

"You still think I'm joking, are you?" Saw cried. "You've just sealed your fate, Bonteri. Couple of days from now, you should expect Imperials at your doorstep."

"Just get me through Chopper Base." He said impatiently.

Saw shook his head in disappointment. "Alright," He shrugged. "But I'm serious, Imperials will be questioning you about it."
