Ch.2 Nothing Left to Have
"Did you find him?"
Thomas asked as Jesi came around again. She looked at him for a moment. She was on her sleepcouch in her quarters and he sat in a chair a few feet away turning the key card endlessly. She smiled.
"Yeah,..I found him."
Thomas looked at her suddenly and smiled. He had really expected a no for that's all he had received everytime he asked before. But now...now she Had found him. She had found her son Kyle who they'd thought dead for so long now. Until, of course, they heard otherwise and took the fateful chance to go back to Kishir II.
"He looks older now...he's staying in section 7C quarters 5A2."
She added starting to stand. She was wobbly but Thomas steadied her.
"They didn't see you did they?"
She looked at him.
"No, of course not." She replied.
"Just a little swim to avoid that."
She looked at the wall clock, only 26:00, still hours before she'd go in.
"That little swim nearly drown you."
Thomas replied a little firmly.
"I did what I had to."
She said going into the fresher. Thomas looked back to his key card as he twirled it again.
Jesi looked in the mirror. Her skin color had faded greatly. It hadn't seen the light of day in so long now. Her arms and everything under her neck were tanner then her face that always had the fake skin on. She sighed knowing she had to get ready.
After a few minutes she had covered her own face. The face that had killed just the night before. She replaced it with a slightly older looking one of the 37 year old Anne Theran, a healer slash servant of the Kishir II military and monarch. She covered the 32 year old Jesiana Stafferi who really had become a part of Kishir own 'spy' team and a mother and wife who's only goal was justice...or vengeance.
Checking her work again she look satisfied with the brown hair and brown eyes rather then the gold hair gold eyes with the tanner slightly aged skin then the palish still young skin.
She julted when the door chime rang. She poked her head in the room. Thomas had either left or hidden already. Rubbing her eyes to make them look sleepy she 'stammered' to the door. Opening it she came face to face with Lt.Wess and his four comrades, more like puppies.
"Lt.Wess..?Can I help you?"
Force! She didn't put on the voice change!
She realized this as soon as she started and made her accent disappear and her voice scratchy. Maybe he'd think she had a cold. He eyed her then said,
"We need you in the infirmary, we have...'guests'."
"Very well..give me a moment."
She kept her voice scratchy and did her best to hide the well defined Kishir accent. He nodded and she quickly closed the door.
First thing she did was put the voice change chip just under the fake skins end between her collar bone. She sighed and dressed quickly.

"I said gently damnit."
Qui-Gon tried to open his eyes as he heard the female voice but he could't. The voices and noises seemed so far away and foggy.
"Sorry Theran."
A male voice said.
"Where do you want the boy?"
Another voice entered the room.
'Boy?Certainly he wasn't talking about Obi-Wan.'
"Across the hall..no wait put the pilot there put him in 3B."
The female replied.
Qui-Gon again tried to open his eyes but it did no good. He felt a hand move his head to the right and finger tips graze the left side accompanied by a painful sting.
"Theran! Pilot's in shock!"
A male said in a rush.
The female presence left quickly and the area quieted.
After a moment Qui-Gon allowed himself to slip into the darkness beckoning him. His breaths hurt, badly.
********
He dared not sigh as Obi-Wan opened his eyes. He couldn't tell if it was night or day out for there were no windows in the small stone walled room. He lay in the center on a table like bed. There were trays of supplies on the right of his 'bed' and tin like cabinet with Force knows what in it. Whatever it was it filled every shelf with the same container.
Suddenly everything rushed back to him. The attack, the planet, the crash..but how did he get here? And where were the others? His master. Where was he? Obi-Wan gently reached to the back of his mind to tap the bond that was always there. But it wasn't...there was only a wisp of it, something he couldn't grasp. He nearly began to panic until he realized that he couldn't feel the living Force as well. Nothing. He'd been sedated. So his master could still be alive! Of course he was alive, what was he thinking. Obi-Wan sighed relief...Owe! He let himself relax when the jult of pain had went away a little. He measured his breaths slowly and closed his eyes.
********
Qui-Gon was about to sit up until the pain ripped through him. It started in the middle of his back and continued up to the base of his head. Laying back don't rather quickly he just breathed for a moment. He remembered everything but he didn't remember how he ended up here. Here, in this little stone room that was so dimly lit that he could hardly see beyond 4 feet of his little table. And he didn't remember what had happened to the pilot, or co-pilot, or Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan. Qui-Gon immediately reached to the bond but found it taunting him. At the same instant he realized his sense in the Force had done the same. Sedation. Force Sedation. This was not good at all.
