Chapter Eleven

Over the next day or two, we learned a lot about the planet and where we were going by socializing with the other passengers. I soon discovered that I could be a great asset to this mission, not just "the wife" or someone that they had to protect.

Finally, we arrived. Our belongings were packed and we dressed for the cold weather and disembarked after the other passengers. I stepped off the gangplank, thinking I remembered how to walk on ice, but I must have forgot because one moment I was standing upright and the next I was being held up by Obi-Wan's strong arms.

"Can't have you sliding down the hill, now can I?"

I felt my face turn red as we managed to walk toward the main building. I could tell both Jedi were taking everything in, but I was just making sure I could walk upright, even though Obi-Wan's arm was now around my waist.

We were soon checking in and got situated in our new home, for a while anyway. Then, we explored our surroundings. We didn't find anything suspicious, but we knew something would eventually surface. Qui-Gon told us that we would speak to Cavorino first thing in the morning to discuss further details of the mission.

After we ate in the main dinning area, we headed back to our rooms for the night. Obi-Wan and I soon discovered, after a more thorough search of our small suite's living area, it only contained a small love seat, a couple of rocking chairs with a coffee table and end tables. There was no way either of us could sleep in either the chairs or love seat and the flooring wasn't much better. The room was extremely nice, but well suited to a young married couple. So, once again, like on the ship, Obi-Wan and I shared a small room and a bed. Of course, by now I was more than used to his presence besides me.

*******

"You awake?" I heard Obi-Wan's voice through a fog of sleep.

"No." I answered, not wanting to leave the warmth of our bed.

Obi-Wan chuckled. "We are meeting Father and Cavorino in a short while."

I nodded as I sat up, keeping the covers close and letting myself slowly wake up. "Just give me a few minutes."

He nodded, trying not to smile at the fact that my hair was a mess and I was blurry-eyed. "I'll let you get ready."

"Thanks." I finally climbed out of bed and headed into the refresher. After I showered, dried my hair, put it up, dressed in warm clothes, I headed into the main living area. "Something smells good."

Obi-Wan turned from the cabinet as he was drawing out some plates. "While you were in the refresher, I went to the cafeteria and picked up breakfast."

I smiled, poking my head into one of the carryout bags. "That's so sweet honey. Now where is the coffee?"

Obi-Wan smiled and pointed with the utensils he was holding. "Over there. You might want to add some cream and sugar to it."

I nodded as I drew out some cream and stirred it into the cup and then took a long sip. "Much better. I don't feel fully human until I have my morning cup of coffee."
I heard him chuckle as he put some food onto his plate. We sat down and ate quickly, then put our coats on and headed outside the door just as Qui-Gon came up to us.

We walked over to the main office building, talking about how pretty it was, and what we were going to do while we were here. Obi-Wan had slipped his arm around my waist again to help me stay on my feet, but it also added to our cover story. However, the second he touched me, I felt shivers of pleasure shoot up my spine.

After waiting for a few minutes, we were shown into Cavorino's office. We introduced ourselves and then sat down, getting straight to business. He brought out the lists of items taken and other evidence that he had kept safe and turned it over to us.

As we studied the lists of missing items, which included dishes from the cafeteria, pieces of games from the rec. rooms, comlinks, and other little things. There was a lot of things people were finding other places, like they were moved on purpose. None of this so far had hurt anyone, just scared most people. Until the so-called suicide.

"Do you have any suspects?" Qui-Gon asked Cavorino.

"Most of my staff has been here for quite a while, except for a small handful. But that handful hasn't done anything that would make me question their motives of working here. There are a good number of guests that return every year or come here for the day and then there are some that come once and never return."

"Can we have a list of everyone that has been here, either as guests or working at the center since these occurrences has started?" Obi-Wan asked.

The owner nodded and drew up his computer. "That shouldn't be a problem and I can give you a short biography of my employees and most of the guests we have here."

"That would help us greatly." Obi-Wan said and then asked. "What do you know about the man who died last week?"

"Not much. He had first checked in at about two and a half weeks ago and had kept to himself." Cavorino handed Qui-Gon a data sheet. "As you can see it's not much to go on."

"You're right." Qui-Gon handed the sheet to Obi-Wan and I picked up the jest of it as I glanced over his shoulder.

"I think that this man was murdered because he had either figured out what was going on or he was some how involved and wanted out. Of course, I have no proof in the matter, but just going on pure instinct."

"Well, sometimes instinct proves right." Qui-Gon commented as we continued to glance through the sheets Cavorino had given us. "We'll see what we can't find out."

"We appreciate you coming here and helping us solve these problems. Our resources are at your disposal."

"Thank you." We asked a couple more questions about what was going on and took our leave.

*******

"Where to now?" I asked as we left the main office.

"To our rooms to create some miles of this." Qui-Gon said, indicating the papers and data pads we carried.

I wrinkled my nose. I wanted to go look at the crime scene.

Obi-Wan leaned close. "We can sneak away later."

I laughed as we entered Qui-Gon's room. While they studied, I brought out a pot, brewing some tea. Pouring the cups, I put them on the tray and carried them in, picking up their conversation.

"I don't think they'll let her get very far in there, considering we're just tourists."

I knew they were talking about the crime scene and me. "Well, I can at least try to look like a snoopy tourist."

They laughed, but the look on their faces was serious. "Just be careful. If this man was murdered, snooping too much could be deadly."

"Do you think he was killed?"

The Jedi looked at each other and shrugged slightly. "Not sure. We don't have enough evidence to tell. However, in time, this will be reveled to us. We just have to be patient and be the curious tourists."

I smiled, taking a sip of my tea. I could certainly do that.

*******

For the rest of the day, Obi-Wan and I wandered around the grounds of the retreat center. We met some more people and got a better feel of the place. People were worked up after the suicide and stolen items, but nothing seemed to jump out at us. And no one seemed guilty. We casually asked questions about the events, but came up with nothing much but people's own theories and fears.

What was funny, was that people already were commenting on what a cute young couple Obi-Wan and I made. We just smiled politely and said thanks, laughing about it after they were out of earshot. However, after several people said it, I began to wonder what they really saw.

"Where did you find such a wonderful husband?" Nallyie Confrod, half-human, half something else, asked as we met other young couples for dinner that night. "Without ruining my own marriage, I must say he certainly is cute."

I smiled, well knowing how good-looking he was. "You could say, we kind of just fell together by fate." I really didn't want to lie, and that was the closet I could get to the truth. "And believe me I know how handsome he is."

She smiled as she turned her gaze to our husbands, who were talking in line for dessert. "How they can eat so much is beyond me."

I laughed. "Mine is the same way. It must be a guy thing."

"I thought you might like some chocolate." They had come back a couple minutes later and "my husband" sat a piece of pie in front of me.

I clapped my hands together in delight, and then gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you sweetie." I turned to my companion. "Bvarian is my favorite."

She smiled and turned to her husband. "I wish he thought of it."

He just grinned and gave her one of his.

We all laughed and ate our dessert.

*******

I was brushing my hair out that night when Obi-Wan came in. "So, honey what do you what to do tomorrow?"

I laughed at how we sounded like a real married couple. "I still want to check out the crime scene."

Obi-Wan shook his head. "It could be dangerous. Besides I'm sure, it's blocked off."

"But can't we just go try to look?" I asked him as he sat down next to me on the bed.

He sighed. "All right. We should also check out the other places where items were stolen and see if we can see some sort of pattern."

"Okay dear." I glanced at the data pad he was holding. "Those the places we need to go to?"

"Yup. Qui-Gon is checking into the different people that were involved in the robberies. We thought it would be best to start there and work our way through this." He set down the data pad on the beside table and then starting pulling the covers back.

I nodded as I put down the brush, then looping my hair in a loose bun. Obi-Wan sat there, watching me do my hair.

"How do you just flip your hair up like that and get it to stay?"

I laughed as we settled down into bed together. "There's nothing to it really. I've just gotten used to having long hair."

He shook his head as he flipped the light off, using the Force. "It still amazes me."

I laughed and reached over, tugging on the braid that he let down at night since he had it pinned up and hidden during the day. "Well, I'm not the only one with long hair in here."

He just gave me a look, pulling the covers up. "Have you taken a look at the rest of my hair lately?"

I reached up, running a hand through his buzz haircut. "I like it."

He pulled back. "Meagan, don't"

I laughed and we continued to talk and laugh about different things until we fell into a deep sleep.

*******

It wasn't until after breakfast that Obi-Wan and I made our way around the grounds to the different places where things were taken from or misplaced. Frustrated, we didn't put any of the pieces together. We still couldn't figure out why someone was trying to harm anyone here or would want to scare these people that were on their vacations. It just didn't make much sense to us, but both of us were determined to get to the bottom. I had always loved a good mystery. My mother and I used to watch "Diagnosis Murder" together, trying to figure who did it and why, right along with Doctor Mark Sloan and the other characters. (Especially his son Steve and Dr. Travis.)

"Let's go back to our rooms." Obi-Wan said, tugging on the hand he was holding. "I want us to record everything that might be helpful later on. We can make it to the other room later."

I was disappointed that we didn't make it to the crime scene, but we did need to remember what we saw today. "That's fine honey." With that we headed back and met up with Qui-Gon and discussed our findings.

And well knowing we would have to wait until something else happened, we decided to "play" for a while. For instance, a group was going to Sanderville, a nearby old time preserved village, done up for tourists. It would be fun to just hang out and be like any other young married couple on a family trip with the husband's father.

*******

"I think this is going to be a lot of fun." I said as Obi-Wan and I finished getting ready for the day.

He pinned up his Padawan braid, not turning from the mirror in our bedroom. "It's going to be a bunch of old houses and women going shopping."

I took the bobby pins he had laid out on the dresser from me, pinning some of my long hair up. "Oh come on, stop complaining. Besides since this is an old town fixed up, it might reveal more about the past of this culture. It could give us a clue."

He just stared at me for a moment or two before speaking. "Well, I guess, when you put it that way."

I nodded. "Come on dear, your Father is more likely than not waiting for us."

Obi-Wan followed me to the door and helped me with my coat and then put his own on. We met with Qui-Gon and others at the transport where we were meeting. The trip there took a couple of hours and so we were able to socialize with the other passengers. It was a lot fun to meet with other species from all over the galaxy and some from right here on Deguanie.

The entire tour bus was talking about the suicide and like before, nothing was revealed. I did get a good kick out of the fact that most of the ladies thought my husband was adorable. Qui-Gon laughed as Obi-Wan started to turn red.

"We'll meet back here at the end of the day." The bus driver gave us directions about where he would be, what time and stuff like that.

"I'll catch up with you later honey." I told my husband as groups of vacationers talked in circles about what to do that day.

Obi-Wan nodded. "Father and I will be around here somewhere." He gave me a gentle kiss on the forehead. "Just don't buy everything in sight, my love."

I gave him an innocent look. "Now why would I do that?" I played along, not wanting to reveal the fact that at the endearment something akin to intense longing and affection for him ran up and down my spine for an extremely long second. "I'll be a good girl, I promise."

He smiled at me and looked deep into my eyes. "Be careful." He said it lightly, but I could tell he really meant it.

"Aren't I always?" I gave him a smile and walked off with the other ladies toward some shops.

*******

It was the next day when Obi-Wan met with Qui-Gon and some of the other men at the resort to do a guy thing that I finally was able to get to the scene of the crime. I felt almost like Amanda Bentley working her way to the murder scene to collect valuable clues. I wound my way through the different cabins scattered throughout the grounds to the one I knew was Bannon Gull's cabin.

The small cabin was a lot like the others throughout the center and it was blocked off with some sort of taping. Smiling to myself, I climbed over the tape, heading toward the front door. Naturally, it was locked, but I headed around the house, determined to find a way in. Nearly slipping on the ice on the back porch, I tried the back door and it opened with a small twist of my hands.

"All too easy." I mumbled to myself as the cold air hit me in a rush. I managed to find a light and turn it on revealing a room a lot like ours. I searched through everything, but found nothing incriminating or anything to lead to discovering who was behind the murder and strange occurrences.

Frustrated, I turned my attention to where the authorities found the body and tried to determine if he was really murdered or not. After half an hour of staring at the outlined spot where the body was, I realized I was not Jessica Fletcher who could solve a crime with a thought and a broken fingernail.

Sighing, I headed out the back door, leaving everything as I found it. As I crossed through the woods, I kept getting the feeling that someone was following me, but every time I turned, there was no one near me. Finally throwing the odd feeling away, I wound my way back to our cabin and got ready for dinner.

*******

"Master do we know anything more about Gull?" Obi-Wan asked that night. The three of us were meeting in Qui-Gon's room to discuss things so far.

"Not much." Qui-Gon didn't sound too pleased as he pulled out his data pad.

Obi-Wan and I quickly scanned it, my basic Republic only picking up the jest about what he discovered about the guests and staff. They would have to fill me in on the details later. "I almost wish something would happen."

"Patience Padawan, it will." Qui-Gon said calmly, but Obi-Wan didn't look too sure. "That call to the Temple is legitimate. We all agreed that Cavorino is honest."

Obi-Wan nodded and they both turned to me. "Did you find out anything from the ladies today?"

I was planning to go shopping with some of the ladies, but I had decided not to go. It was the perfect time to go snooping with out my husband's opinion on the matter. "I didn't go shopping. I went and snuck into Bannon Gull's room."

The Jedi remained quiet for a moment. Neither of them looked too surprised, but there was a brief look of concern in the multi-color depth of Obi-Wan's eyes. Finally Qui-Gon spoke. "Find anything new?"

I shook my head, and then briefed them about the afternoon. After that we reviewed things we had learned so far. Most of the staff had been cleared and so had most of the guests.

"What about someone from the outside?" Obi-Wan mused. "What if someone is out to get Cavorino, or one of the guests or staff?"

Qui-Gon and I looked at each other and then back to Obi-Wan. "That sounds like a likely theory, but we don't know for sure until we collect evidence."

The Padawan and I just nodded as we began to discuss how we were going to research Obi-Wan's theory. After we finished discussing our plans, Obi-Wan turned to me. "We'd best get going. It's getting late."

I nodded and we said goodnight to Qui-Gon and headed next door.

We got ready for bed in a comfortable silence, and I marveled at a closeness we were developing.

"Are you going to meet anyone for breakfast?" He asked me as I finished brushing my hair out.

I shook my head. "I was just going to pick up something in the dinning area before heading out."

"Since we are going to the same place why don't we eat and then head over there together?"

I nodded as I padded over to the bed in my thick sleeping socks. "Sounds wonderful dear." I glanced back to Obi-Wan as he came to stand besides me.

"Good." He smiled as he reached down and pulled back the covers, motioning me in.

I crawled over to my side of the bed. "Ahhh…these covers are so cold."

Obi-Wan laughed as he settled next to me. "You'll warm them."

I shivered. "I certainly hope so."

He reached out and rubbed my upper arms and I couldn't help but lean back into his warm strong chest. He easily dropped his arms, settling them around my waist. I sighed contently and feel into a deep sleep.
