Zekk walked over to Kima's holding cell to see if she had sustained
any injuries during the recent engagement with the enemy ship. When he
came to the cell, he saw Kima sitting on the ground inside with a look of
defiance on her face.
"What do you want?" she muttered.
"Oh, nothing," he said. "How are you feeling?"
She looked at him incredulously. "Wait a minute, you're going to beat
me up, kidnap me, and imprison me aboard you're ship and then ask me how
I'm doing?"
"Yep. That way I can see if you need medical care or not. I don't like
to deliver damaged goods."
"Whatever."
Zekk shrugged. "Okay." He got up to leave, his jacket shifting just
enough so that Kima could see the lightsaber clipped to his belt.
"You're a Jedi?"
Zekk stopped in mid stride. "No."
"Well then how did you get a lightsaber? They're not exactly easy to
come by."
"I used to be a Jedi."
"And you left?"
"Yeah." Zekk was becoming uncomfortable with the topic of
conversation as well as talking casually to a mass murderer so he got up to
leave.
"Wait, before you go just tell me one thing; you seem like a nice guy,
Zekk, which makes me wonder why you would be working for a guy like
Foln." The defiance she had displayed to start with was gone and was
replaced with an almost innocent curiosity.
"What are you talking about?"
"What do you mean 'what are you talking about'? Why are you
working for Foln?"
"Because Foln came to me with a problem, you to be exact. He
probably didn't appreciate all the bombs you were putting in school buses
and buildings so he hired me to capture you."
Kima burst out laughing on the cell floor, pounding the ground in
hysteria. "He told you that?"
"Yes."
"And you believed him? Man, for an ex-Jedi you sure are gullible.
Aren't you Jedi supposed to have mind reading powers or something?"
Zekk didn't say anything for a minute, deep in thought.
"What? What did I say?"
"Nothing." Zekk looked straight into her eyes, reaching out with the
Force. "Kima, are you a terrorist?"
"No!"
"Have you ever broken the law?"
"Well, there was this one time I double-parked my hovercar in-"
"Never mind that." Zekk said, cutting her off. He reached over to the
keypad by the cell and punched in the code to shut off the electric force
field.
Kima gaped in amazement as the force field that imprisoned her in the
cell dissipated, her eyes asking the obvious question.
"My Force senses tell me that you aren't lying so," he smiled, "you're
free to go."
