Hi all. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH for the reviews! I love em! N e ways… next
two chaps r here. So read away~
Realizations
Obi-Wan stood outside the medical building looking at the doors in front of him. He was still angry with his Master even though he knew he shouldn't be. Why hadn't Qui-Gon come with him? Z was their first priority. Sure Sage could help, but Obi-Wan knew his Master felt the disturbance in the Force.
There was so mistaking it.
Slowly, walking closer to the doors Obi-Wan hesitated as he reached to palm them open. What would he find behind them? Would he find out that Z had died? That she was alright? That possibly Sage and Z never made it to the city?
Ever since he left Sandy's, Obi-Wan had lost Zae-Non. Her connection was so weak and then it disintegrated into nothing.
Obi-Wan palmed open the door and walk casually inside. Looking around the place wasn't very busy. A few people in the waiting area and a Twi'lik receptionist at a desk towards the corner made up the small entrance area.
As he approached the desk the green skinned Twi'lik looked up. "Can I help you?"
"Yes, my friend arrived here with her Master a few hours ago. I've come to see them."
"What is your name?"
"Obi-Wan. My friend is Zae-Non and her Master is Sage."
She nodded then began to go through her data pad. As she scanned Obi-Wan's comlink signaled.
"Obi-Wan." Qui-Gon's voice. "Have you found Z and Sage?"
"Looking." Obi-Wan said flatly as he turned to the Twi'lik who was still scanning the data pad. "How are things at the city?" He couldn't hide all of the hurt in his voice.
Qui-Gon sighed. "I'll tell you about that when I get there."
"Get *here*?"
"Yes Obi-Wan." The voice didn't come from the comlink. Obi-Wan turned around to see Qui-Gon standing in the middle of the entrance area. " I'm sorry Padawan." The words were spoke with compassion and understanding. "I came to two realizations."
Obi-Wan stared at his Master. "What is that?"
"I was wrong." Qui-Gon said putting a hand on Obi-Wan's shoulder. "I was terribly wrong. I hope you can forgive me Padawan."
Obi-Wan nodded and smiled. "I'm sorry for being so rash. I should have controlled my feelings better."
"Obi-Wan you did the proper thing. You put me in my right mind."
Obi-Wan turned around as the Twi'lik tapped him on the shoulder.
"We were expecting you. I was told to give you this." Her green hand held out a piece of durasheet. On it was writing a note in neat curly script.
Obi-Wan hesitated before taking it. He was scared to think what could be written on it.
Obi-Wan,
Zae-Non and I are on our way back to Courascant. I feel Z will get better treatment back at the Temple. Please tell Qui-Gon to contact me as soon as he can. May the Force be with you.
Obi-Wan sighed. "They aren't here." He turned around to Qui-Gon and handed him the sheet. He thanked the Twi'lik and followed Qui-Gon outside. Bailee was waiting by his swoop.
"This was the other realization that I was afraid would happen." Qui-Gon said shaking his head referring to the paper in his hands. "I've known Sage since we were both very little. I knew she would bring Z back to the Temple." He closed his eyes. "They never reached there."
Explanations Part 4
"What are you two talking about?" Bailee asked.
"Thanks to your friend Brice, now two of our Jedi are missing." Obi-Wan said angrily.
"Hey I never said he was my friend." Bailee shot back clearly annoyed at his tone.
"You're right." Came a voice from behind the three.
Obi-Wan turned around to see someone about Qui-Gon's height, but frail looking. His bright blonde hair and brown eye's looked just like Z's…
"Brice." Bailee said coolly.
"Bailee. Nice to see you again. What a pity you're leaving. We could have spent more time together."
"It's because of you we are leaving!" Obi-Wan spat.
"I know, going after your two Jedi."
A sickening silence passed between the four.
"How could you Brice!?" Bailee suddenly blurted out. "Helping Garmandi in such a scam. Hurting Zae-Non and wanting the Jedi killed! I never knew that was in you."
Obi-Wan watched in surprise as Brice's faces went from pure anger to almost terror.
"Z?" He said in a squeaky voice.
"Yes Z" Obi-Wan shot at him. "Short for Zae-Non."
Brice was now white. "I didn't know he had Z…"
"You know her?" Qui-Gon said raising an eyebrow. "Zae-Non Sen?"
"How could I not know her?! She's my daughter!"
Obi-Wan felt his eyes widen and his jaw drop.
*Daughter?!*
"Garmandi told me he had a Jedi hostage and… and that I could help him." Brice stuttered.
"Why would you want to hurt anyone?" Obi-Wan asked. He was furious at the figure in front of him.
"Because, after giving Z up to the Temple, my wife didn't want to have anymore kids. She was scared of loosing them too. I was angry… more like furious at the Jedi. I then met Garmandi on Dafomeer while he was on a mission. He told me of his plans and I went along with it." He sank to the ground onto his knees. "I… I had no clue I was helping to kill my daughter!"
"Kill?!" Obi-Wan pressed his heart racing.
"I… I'm not to sure." Brice Stuttered. "It depends on whether Garmandi has reached Celsic or not. That's where Zae-Non and Sage's ship was hi-jacked to. But-"
Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon didn't wait for him to finish. They knew where Z and Sage were.
They pushed past him and went straight for the hanger where their transport was. Leaving Brice on the ground and Bailee confused as to what had just transpired. Bailee ran after them.
"Hey wait." She called. Obi-Wan slowed his pace to let her catch up. "If you ever need help, you know where to find me."
Obi-Wan smiled for the first time in two days. "Thank you Bailee. You've helped us a lot and we are grateful."
When they reached their ship Qui-Gon also thanked Bailee also and motioned for Obi-Wan to start the transport. Obi-Wan did so and while rising into the air Bailee stood on the platform waving. Once out of sight Obi-Wan set the coordinates for Celsic. Lucky for them it wasn't far.
"Master?" Obi-Wan asked after settling down for the five-hour flight. "Has the Council known Garmandi was always this hateful?"
"He hasn't always been Padawan. About a year ago another Jedi killed his son. This Jedi had no choice. The Council realized that if they were to talk to Garmandi about his anger towards the Jedi he'd do something in the Temple. They couldn't risk it at the time for reasons they wouldn't even explain to me. We were going to bring it up when we returned from Zefron, but Garmandi acted to soon. We hadn't planned for this and we didn't think he'd go so far as this." Obi-Wan watched Qui-Gon stare out to the space flying by them. "We underestimated his capabilities and now one of our own is suffering from it."
"And I have one more question." Obi-Wan went on hesitantly.
"Go on."
"Back when Ona first kidnapped Z, why did she try to get me also?"
Qui-Gon sighed. "I believe she wanted just you. Guys are stronger and more athletic than girls and in Ona's case, more helpful to her plan. But when we got you back, she took what she had. And that unfortunately, was Zae- Non. We'll get her back though. Just like before."
Ok that would be all for today… n e ways PLEASE REVIEW! Thanks! Oh rite… Kat if you're still reading this… see your question from ever ago was answered! ~lol~
Peace Out
