As Shawn kneeled down to help Lee up, Corran slowly stepped out of
his hiding place and walked towards them, his blaster still set for stun,
still pointed at Shawn. He noticed Shawn pause then spin around, his
blaster aimed and ready. A confused look played across Shawn's face as he
released who it was he was looking at. "Corran? That you?"
Corran grinned, "Sure is Shawn. Now put the Quick6 away and back away from my partner." He waited a moment as Shawn holstered his blaster, then Corran followed suit.
Shawn stood up and took a few steps away from Lee "I'm not going to hurt her if that's what you're worried about."
Corran shook his head "I know you say you wouldn't, I just don't trust CorSec anymore. So just stay back." He walked to Lee taking a look at her and spoke softly. "Can you walk?" She nodded as he lowered his hand down to help her up.
Lee took his hand and grunted as she stood, pain running through her leg. "How'd you find me?"
Corran winced. He knew she wasn't going to like his answer. She hated it when he or Wedge followed her to keep an eye on her. He figured on hearing her famous line of 'I can take care of my self'. He sighed "I followed you."
She warped her arms around him in a hug. "Thank you." she said sweetly then pulled back and lightly punched him in the arm. ".But I can take care of myself."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, I know, but from the looks of it, I not only saved you, but also saved CorSec's job over there by shooting the rook before he did." Corran said by pointing to Sha'dan's body lying motionless on the ground.
Shawn, his arms crossed, grumbled. "So are we even again or do I owe you another one?"
Corran shook his head. "No, we're even. That is if you let me and Lee get off Corellia without any trouble. We're leaving in an hour."
Shawn nodded as he walked over to the rookie. "So what am I going to do with him. He knows he caught her, and I am uninjured so I could have gone after her. This makes it harder to cover up your escape on my end."
Making a fist, Corran grinned. "I could always knock you out."
"No thanks. I'll find some other way." Shawn exclaimed putting his hands up as if to stop a surprise punch.
Corran relaxed his hand as Lee hobbled away from him. She bent down to retrieve her blaster and holstered it. Looking up at Shawn she sighed. "Tell me where to find Kadon. I want to. talk with him before we leave." She rested her hand on the butt of her blaster.
Frowning, Shawn slowly shrugged. "Somewhere between Corellia and its sun." Seeing her confused look he elaborated. "Kadon was taking bribes from smugglers. One day he demanded too much and the smugglers hushed him up for good. Shot three times in the head. He was almost unrecognizable. Now he's space dust."
She nodded. "I see." Straight into his eyes she gazed, then she gave him a weak smile. "Thanks for all the help and such CorSec. Maybe I'll see you around sometime." She turned and hobbled to where Corran stood, taking his arm to steady herself.
Corran looked at Shawn, then pointed to Sha'dan. "Give us about five or ten minuets to get out of here, then call for your backup." He and Lee started down the ally way to leave when he turned and spoke again. "Oh and Shawn, now that I thought of it, your old debt may be paid, but now you have a new one, 'cept I'm the one who will be doing the paying. I owe you one."
Saying nothing Shawn sat down next to the downed rookie and sighed as he watched the two turn the corner, leaving his line of sight. He wondered if he would ever see Lee Antilles again.
