A/N: anything in *s is thoughts…I haven't figured out how to italicize yet…

The sun was just beginning to peek above the horizon when Team Two paused behind an outcropping of rocks. Wes Janson peeked behind a large boulder, a pair of macrobinoculars in his hands.
"Ewok Man, get back here." Jaina commanded. "No one's out there."
Janson turned back. "Yub, yub, Goddess."
Corran frowned. "Wait, Jaina. Stretch out with your senses. I sense presenses in the distance…"
Jaina half closed her eyes, searching the area with her Jedi senses. Her eyes flew open, surprise mirrored in her features. Corran nodded. "I thought there was someone out there; you just confirmed my fears, Goddess. Guys, have your blasters ready. Someone's been following us."
Jag pulled his charrik out, searching the plain. He shook his head. "I don't see anyone. Then again, with all these rocks…"
Jaina chewed on her lower lip, her hand on the hilt of her lightsaber. "How many do you sense, CorSec? I'm getting two, maybe three."
The older Jedi shook his head. "I can't tell, Goddess."
"All right, then, guys, let's move. Quietly, now." She commanded. "CorSec, you lead. I'll take the rear."
The dark haired Jedi nodded, and was about to move, when he heard the echo of a falling stone. The foursome froze, looking for the source of the noise. After a moment's hesitation, they started moving again. Jaina heard another sound behind her. *That sounds just like a power pack being inserted into a blaster! * she thought. She reached for her lightsaber, and heard more clicks from behind her. She felt something hard jabbed in her back, and she was about to protest.
"Freeze." came the deep command from behind. The rest of her group froze. "Put your weapons down. Arms up."
Jaina stretched out in the Force, and sensed just 1 being behind her. She smirked. *I can take him on.* She thought confidently, raising her lightsaber, and turning in one fluid motion to face the man behind her. She couldn't see much except beady black eyes; the rest of his face was concealed behind a bandanna like object hanging around the lower half of his face, but she could tell he was smiling.
"Put the weapon down, Jedi. Now." He made some motion, and she was shocked to watch 30 plus blaster muzzles being raised around boulders, trees and other obstacles. She carefully dropped her lightsaber to the ground, and raised her hands, with the rest of her team following her lead. *Ysalamiri! That's why we couldn't sense them!'*
The man motioned with his blaster. "Packs off. And, I'll take the holdout blaster and vibroblade as well. Don't try to hide your weapons, that would be considered a painful mistake."
Jaina swallowed. *What do you recommend, CorSec? '*
Corran's green eyes were wide. *Listen to the nice man. For now.'*
As the man was picking up her weapons, including the small blaster and vibroblade and sheath, Jaina noticed a patch on his shoulder that made her heart skip a beat with fear, and an icy lump crystallized in her guts. *Oh, Sithspawn…*

Jaina resisted the urge to spit on the Peace Brigader's cheek, especially when he was right in front of her. She couldn't sense Kyp in the Force, but she wasn't sure if he was covering or if he was captured.
"All right, Jaina Solo, tell us where the rest of your group is." He hissed.
"Um, ok, I'll do that. No. This is my group." She said, looking away.
He snarled, his dark eyes narrowing as he reached for a vibroblade. He thumbed it on, and pressed it to her cheek, and he slowly turned her head back to him, the blade leaving a thin trickle of blood. She looked over his shoulder to see Jag, and his green eyed gaze locked with her brown ones, and she didn't need the Force to see the pain and fury raging in his pale green eyes.
"Solo, for the last time, where is the rest of your group? We found the shuttle, and destroyed it," Jaina winced inwardly. *Not good… *the leader continued, "Solo, you can't say there are no others, so where are they?" the man demanded.
"Well, for starters, I couldn't tell you offhand for two main reasons. One, because you're the enemy, and that would be stupid of me, and two, because of these handy-dandy animals called ysalamiri, I can't sense where my team is, so I couldn't tell you even if I wanted to." She said, smiling.
Just then, a comlink chirped. "Poster Boy to CorSec. Come in CorSec."
Jaina would have smacked a hand to her forehead, if it weren't for the stuncuffs locked on her wrists. *Of all the rotten times, Face, you just have to call now?! * she thought.
"Poster Boy to CorSec. Are you there?" he repeated.
