Disclaimer: ok, the real disclaimer got chopped up by a pissed off Sith lord and his red lightsaber, but basically it said I don't own Star Wars..

I AM SO SLOW! I KNOW! Don't bite off my head. It would be much appreciated. I'm working on it. they hound homework on us at school. Evil teachers. Oh, they're nice and funny, but they give homework. Oh well, the school board is working on it, and it's only about 2 hours worth. Anyway, on to the story!

Chapter 15

Obi-Wan and Jar Jar sat in the cock pit of a small Naboo cruiser, Jar Jar firmly keeping his hands at his sides like Obi-Wan had instructed. Obi-Wan wasn't taking any chances. He thought about the past events and any clues that might lead them to Anakin and Padme.

The bounty hunter had killed Mace Windu partly because he had been protecting Padme, and partly for revenge. The master had killed his father right in front of him. That is something you should never, never do. The bounty hunter was no doubt working for someone. Last time, Padme was wanted for making Nute Gunray look like an idiot. That she escaped, so maybe Nute wants her again. Or maybe Dooku wants her for starting to set up a strong resistance, getting many senators to join, more than he was getting to join his side. So if he found Nute Gunray or Count Dooku, he would most likely find Padme and Anakin.

There was one other possibility Obi-Wan did not care to think further into. The possibility that someone else wanted Padme. Someone they didn't know about.



Obi-Wan was wrong on the last, brief thought. Count Dooku, as you know, did want Padme, and currently had her in her possession. But there is another what wanted Padme.

Nute Gunray raged. His bounty hunters had failed. This was unacceptable. Bossk stood before him, looking the Nemodian in the eye. Anger bubbled and clashed in the room, both furious at each other and Boba Fett and a few other beings. Nute Gunray wanted to have the creature shot now, but decided it wasn't worth it. Bossk might be useful later.

"Go and get her!"

"It'll cost ya."

"Half the amount I first offered!"

"Deal," Bossk growled and excited the room.



Boba Fett followed the count at a distance, not getting to close and standing in the shadows. He was going to get the rest of those credits. He needed a new blaster and a few more installments on his ship and he needed to keep some credits flowing to the informants his father had, and now he had. He needed those credits. He was going to get those credits.

Count Dooku didn't need to look behind him to know that the bounty hunter was there. He had told him to stick to the shadows because no one else new of the hired bodyguard, excepted his master. He was a secret that they only shared.









Ok, so I may continue this. I have just rediscovered this and found it at a good ending point. I may continue, as I said, but I'm juggling many things at the moment.
