Chapter Thirteen!
"No." Obi-Wan replied. "We know the children's minds are unclouded, and we prefer that they stay that way."
Anakin snorted, "So they can become humorless blocks of rock that don't live in the real world."
Obi-Wan retorted with an icy silence that could freeze a tauntaun.
When they stepped out onto the lowest level Anakin strode out of the lift quickly, he turned to Obi-Wan, "If I'm going in there I need Slin."
Obi-Wan nodded, his blue eyes quietly agreeing, "The counsel has foreseen it, he's waiting right outside."
Anakin smiled genuinely. For the first time the Jedi had actually done something right, he'd need Slin this time. "Let me get this right," He walked out of the Jedi Temple doors, again in the sunlight of Couriscant. "You are going with me?"
Obi-Wan nodded.
"Wearing that?"
Again he nodded.
Anakin rolled his eyes, "great." He saw Slin standing next to his speeder. He also noticed that the teenager was very wary of another brown robbed Jedi who stood next to him. "Hey friend," Anakin greeted, "Told you things would work out."
"Yeah right." Slin mumbled as he got into the back of the speeder.
Obi-Wan thanked the other Jedi and climbed into the co-pilot seat, noting the extra controls and mutated read-outs.
Anakin hopped into the pilot's seat, starting up the engine, raising it above the landing platform.
Obi-Wan glanced at the young thief who had a mischievous glint in his eye. Something told him to take extra caution but he couldn't see the danger.
"This'll be just like when those Aknids were chasing us, huh pall." Anakin said, bringing the speeder up higher from the ground.
Slin let out a nervous laugh, "Yeah, piece a cake..." He buckled his seat restraint. Grabbing onto the seat arm rests.
Anakin turned to Obi-Wan, flashing him a dazzling smile and in the same instant totally over-turning the speeder.
Many planets have an invisible strength that draws objects to it because it revolves with such great speed, and because of it's density. Couriscant is no exception.
Obi-Wan landed unceremoniously on the ground. The Jedi glared up at Anakin, who was laughing hysterically. The Jedi's rear would be sore for about three days, but other than that no harm done.
A fellow Jedi rushed up to Obi-Wan, and helped the Master to his feet. "Are you hurt Master?"
"No."
"Should we give them chase?"
Obi-Wan shook his head, "No, get me a speeder."
"Yes Master."
Obi-Wan watched as the speeder with Slin and Anakin flew away. It was better this way. IF the important boy had been leading him around a wild speeder chaise this would be the easiest way to find out. If they headed back to the wrecked apartment it would be finished for Anakin Skywalker.
"You are a crazy son of a sarlacc!" Slin hollered in Anakin's ear.
Anakin winced, "Will you relax!"
"Relax?!" Slin paled, "You just dumped a Jedi Knight on his rump!"
"That was the idea."
"Well, it was a rotten idea!"
"Will you relax!" Anakin was sure he was gonna go death.
"They're gonna lock me up so far away I'll never see sunshine 'till I'm fourty!"
"you wont see sunshine another day unless you stop yelling in my ear!" Anakin yelled.
Slin sat back, folding his arms over his chest, "So where are we going now?"
Anakin veered the speeder hard, "Wolf's Lair."
"Right." Slin flung up his hands, "First you dumped a Jedi Knight on his arse and now we're going into Wolf's Liar! WE ARE GONNA DIE!"
