"Fiza!! Fiza! What's happening?" Harenti shouted as he ran toward the field entrance. Antina followed briskly behind. She was hoping to get out of this building before it became a prison, but she found he was a faster runner than she anticipated.
Fiza came sprinting around a corner and the trio almost collided. "They've found us. I don't know how."
"They tagged her." Cutting into his bewilderment, Harenti explained. Antina looked away, not knowing what the brut would do. Instantly, she felt the harsh grasp of angered hands on her shoulders, shaking her.
"There is no escape. The only thing we can do is use our last bargaining chips." Fiza barked. Finally, releasing Antina in disgust. He turned back to Harenti. "We still have two of the children. Give them Serrine and this one," pointing at Antina, "and we will take the Jedi as hostages."
"But my experiments?" Always the scientist until the last, Harenti pondered.
"Forget your damned experiments!! At least for now. If we still hold the baby Jedi, we can pick up again later." The watchman reasoned. He glanced the two over and then headed for the lab. The other two in tow, Fiza began to formulate their escape. Briefly, he led them to a security room and activated every defense the compound had. Taking a monitor he stopped in front of the lab. "I want the boy. You can take the girl." Fiza accessed the door and drank in the sight greedily.
MysAri half-slumped over the pain-filled form of Obi-Wan. Her hands rested on his chest and both had their eyes closed. "Just as I had hoped. The others have been taken beyond the boundaries." His smile made Antina gag. "The armlets are active. That's promising. Less resistance for us." Fiza strode into the room and stopped next to the weakened girl. Harenti went strait for his monitor to see what his machine had picked up. Pleased with the data already collected he began transferring the information into his data chips, preparing for departure.
Callously, he snickered and yanked MysAri from her position, tossing her against the wall. The abrupt rupture of the connection plunged the youths into an abyss of pain and confusion. Fortunately, MysAri still had her link to her sister and Qui-Gon, but Obi-Wan was completely disassociated from everyone. Abruptly, Obi-Wan's convulsions commenced, brought on by exhaustion, illness, and as a reaction to the cuff. MysAri struggled to rise and get back to her peer when Fiza held her back. Chuckling, Fiza turned to Antina, "Go collect Serrine. I want us together when the Jedi arrive. I expect they should be here soon. At least once they get the bracelets off."
Antina stared back in defiance. Taking a step forward, she watched as Fiza pulled the girl in front of him and pull a vibro-blade from his belt. "Now you don't want me to put her out of her misery prematurely, do you?" He taunted. "Get Serrine. And don't try anything funny. I have my eye on you." His head jerked toward the monitor he brought. She knew he had access to the security cameras within the facility and decided to just do what he said. For now.
Abruptly, she spun and exited the laboratory. She walked through the halls towards Serrine's quarters in order to bring the woman back. Hitting a keypad, she alerted the occupant of her arrival. When she received no response, Antina tried again. After the second attempt, she decided to go in anyway.
Inside the small habitat, Antina had to turn on the lights to navigate. She entered the back room and found the woman she sought on her bed. "Serrine?" The figure didn't move. Antina called louder now and went up and shook her. "Serrine, get up."
Finally the woman stirred, glancing around her disorientated. "Wha. Where's Torrine?"
"Torrine? Who's that?" Confused, Antina had not heard of anyone by that name involved with this group.
Serrine's breath hitched as memories came flooding back to her. "He's. He - was - my son." Tears flowed freely down her face again as she revealed whom she had been trying to redeem.
"You're son? You've lost me." She was hoping to get the woman back quickly, but Serrine had no intention of leaving yet.
"He died 8 years ago. I have never forgiven myself for letting him go." Her sobs racked her body as the once strong teacher crumbled under Antina's glare.
The desolation in Serrine's eyes tugged at Antina, as much as she wanted to get back to Fiza, she also understood Serrine's need to release. Compassionately, she sat next to Serrine on the bed and asked, "How did he die?"
Breathing deeply, Serrine calmed her shaky nerves before responding, "He died while on a mission. You see," she paused and looked Antina in the face, "He was a Jedi Padawan."
