1 Child of the Light: Chapter Thirty
By Jayde Star
David moved stiffly around his hotel room, despite having had the journey to heal, he had been beaten up so severely it was going to be a while until he was back to normal. Even with Bacta. They had arrived at their destination barely half an hour ago and although David knew there was no point trying to find out anything until later that evening, he was itching to find Jayde. Even if it meant tearing apart every building on this planet, he would find her one way or another. David was shaken out of his thoughts by the door chime.
"Come in." He called.
Ben and Phillip Skywalker came in.
"Hey guys. I haven't seen you in ages, I'm sorry we have to meet up again because of this."
Ben glared at David for a moment, "You think that you can act like my friend after you've knocked up my sister? It's your fault she's even missing, so lets not get too friendly here. We're only here because we think we might know where she is, and I need you to confirm something."
David ignored the first part of what Ben said and only listened to the part about Jayde. "You know where Jay is? Why haven't you gone to get her? What's taking you guys so long?" There was great urgency in his voice.
"We haven't got her yet, because we're not certain. We think we've found that old guy you mentioned." Phil explained. "He certainly sounds like the kind of guy who would pay major amounts for a particular slave, or else steal what he wanted."
"Have you got a picture?"
"Yeah," Ben pulled a holo disc out of his pocket and showed David.
David studied it for a moment before he nodded his head. "Yeah, that's him. That's the guy who wanted to buy Jay."
"Good." And with that Ben and Phil turned to leave.
"Wait, what are you going to do?" David had to know. He wanted to be able to do something.
"We don't know yet." Ben looked back at David. He saw the concerned look in David's eyes and through the force knew that it wasn't for himself, it was for Jayde. In that instant Ben realised just how much his sister meant to his friend and softened his approach. "I'll make sure someone lets you know when we have a definite plan. Until then, rest up. You still need to heal."
When they left David, Phil turned to Ben and asked, "Why did you say you would let him know what we were going to do for Jay? He sure as hell doesn't need to know, and he doesn't deserve to more to the point."
Ben glanced at Phil for a moment, "Didn't you feel his concern for Jay? It was coming off him in waves. He cares about Jay deeply, and I never thought it was possible for any girl to affect Dave in that way." Ben stopped walking. "I think he's in love."
Phil looked disbelieving, "Dave? In love? I doubt it. And with Jay? I doubt that even more."
"Why?" Ben asked, "Just because they've known each other since they were kids? They didn't grow up together completely. They only ever saw each other a few times a year. And they're not related. Don't get me wrong, I don't plan on forgiving him for getting Jay pregnant. But what if she feels the same way about him? Then we'll have to be nice to him. I guess I also felt sorry for him. And he is the father of our soon to be niece or nephew."
"I think you're just being to nice in this instance. But I guess you're right. We don't know the full story, or how Jay feels. I just hope we can save her soon and find out."

Yeah, I know it's short. Sorry. And there probably won't be an update tomorrow. I have plans. But I will try my best, though at the moment I'm not sure which way I want to take the story, I have millions of ideas. Okay, I have four ideas. And I'm not sure which path to take yet. Anyone have an idea? Anyway review as always please.
