4 Child of the Light: Chapter Thirty-Two
By Jayde Star
Half an hour later Mara, Luke, Padmae, Phil and Ben Skywalker were sitting around the table in Mara and Luke's hotel room, along with Wedge and David Antillies. The final decisions for the plan had just been made.
"So, you're saying that this guy is stupid enough to let Jayde perform in the same place as before?" David was shocked.
"Well," Ben explained. "You see, we over heard him and some other guy discussing this new drug they had, one that could make pretty much anyone do anything. That is, anyone without the force or the wrong biology. Though, from what this guy was saying, it can be adapted to most. But, apparently, the person under its influence doesn't seem drugged. So she won't remember anyone and she'll be pretty convincing that she has always belonged to this guy."
"Is that why you guys haven't been able to sense her though the force?"
"Definitely." Answered Padmae. "The drugs cloud her mind so much that we can only get a vague feeling that she is on planet and nearby. We can't focus in on her mind enough to pinpoint her exact location."
"So we're just going to walk into the bar, blasters firing?" Wedge asked.
"No, we don't know exactly when she's dancing. And we could end up hitting her." Luke answered, "We'll go in in pairs. Mara and myself, Phil and Mae, and Ben and you, the most important thing being to keep Jayde safe. If we can't rescue her safetly tonight, then we wait until tomorrow if we have to."
"What about me?" David asked.
"You're in no condition to do anything." Wedge answered. "I'm not having you put yourself in that much danger."
"Haven't I said before that you guys have no choice about whether or not I help?" David argued. "It doesn't matter what you say, I am going to help you save Jay. It's my fault that she's in this mess and I'm not just leaving her to her fate. I'm coming whether you agree or not, so the plans had better include me."
Eventually they concede to let David come along, but he had to promise to stay well out of the action and only get involved if need be. If anything bad happened, his main priority had to be to get himself and Jayde out of there while the others kept the bad guys busy.

Two hours later they were in place around the bar. Luke and Mara were sitting together, close to the stage where Jayde would be dancing. They sat huddled together like new lovers, seemingly oblivious to everything around them, but paying attention to every detail, stretching out with the force in every direction. They were not going to let anything stop them from rescuing their daughter. Wedge and Ben sat a little bit away, they too looked like they weren't paying attention to anything around them, but were really highly alert to everything going on. David sat a bit farther back with Padmae and Phil. He had his arm around Padmae. Most of the women in there looked definitely attached to some man or another, any that weren't were being hitting on badly, even those with male friends around. So they made it look like Padmae was with David so she would be left alone.
They waited and watched for another two and a half hours before Jayde finally appeared. David gasped when he saw her, she looked amazingly sexy. She still had her hair colour, and she was dressed in an ankle length red skirt that had a split on either side up to her mid-thigh and a black halter-top that exposed most of her abdomen and quite a bit of cleavage too. To finish the outfit off, she wore knee-high, black leather boots. The only thing that David didn't like was that he could tell that the drugs had affected her so badly that she wasn't his Jayde at the moment. Anyone who didn't know her wouldn't have been able to tell, but here could. She didn't smile the way she would normally and her eyes just didn't sparkle as much as they would have normally.
"So, when do we move?" David asked impatiently.
Phil answered him, "As soon as mum and dad give us the signal that it seems the right time. Until then, we wait no matter what. Okay, Dave?" He said with an edge to his voice.
David just nodded.
They waited through Jayde's performance.
"Dad is furious about the way Jayde is dancing." Padmae commented at one point.
"Did you think he wouldn't be, seeing your daughter dance as though she about to strip is not something any guy would want to see?" Phil answered her.
David didn't comment, he liked her dancing. He hoped that some day soon he would get a private showing.
"Dave? How sure was Jay that she was pregnant?" Padmae suddenly asked him.
"Extremely, why?" David answered absent-mindedly.
"No reason." She replied quickly, exchanging a look with her twin brother.
It was then that Jayde's performance ended and she left the stage to go join the man she considered her owner, who was standing at the bar.
"Mum and dad want us in position now." Phil said and they all moved.
Mara and Luke went to one side of them, Wedge and Ben on the other. Padmae and Phil stood a little bit away from them, but close enough to help out if the need arose. David walked over to them and demanded, "You! What do you think you're doing, not only do you steal my slave, but you also have the nerve to have her dance in the same place as I did?!"
"I never stole your slave, she's been mine since she was young." The old man replied. "And even if she had been your slave there would be no way to prove it." His voice turned deadly, "You don't want to annoy me boy, I have many of my people through out the room, so you really should be careful." The man turned away from David and to Jayde. "Come, my dear, I have plans for us back at my place."
He went to lead Jayde away, but Luke stepped in front of him, "I don't think you're taking her anywhere." He said and before anything else could be said, all hell broke loose.
The old man's people started rushing at them, planning on keeping them away from Jayde. Everyone else in the room noticed a brawl was about to break out and decided to join in. Within less than a minute everyone was fighting everyone else. As soon as David saw an opening, he grabbed Jayde by the arm and pulled her towards the door. His only thought was to get her as far away from danger as quickly as possible. Ben saw what was happening and followed them, keeping people from attacking them.
As they were running past a support pillar, somebody was thrown against it. It must have had one hit too many in it's long years of service to that bar, because at the same time as David was passing it, it began to fall. He saw what was about to happen and pushed Jayde towards the safe arms of her brother.
Through he drug addled mind, Jayde somehow realised what was happening to David, she tried to pull away from Ben as she screamed in terror, "DAAAAAAAAAVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" And she collapsed sobbing into the arms of her brother.

You all hate me for the ending don't you? He he he. I told you I was evil. Just a couple more chapters to go and I'll be finished. I'm toying with the idea of a sequel, but haven't made up my mind yet. I guess it just depends on how I feel after I finish it all. And how many more good reviews I get, so review lots, cos the more I have the more encouraged I'll feel to write the sequel.
