Chapter 13~ No explanations
"Okay class can anyone tell me what this letter is?" Master Engle asked, and almost every little hand shot up in the air.
"Okay, how about Jacquelyn."
"That is the letter P. Like in padawan."
"Very good."
Qui-Gon was looking through the window at the initiates and his eyes rested on Obi-Wan.
Sarah could feel his presence and excused herself from the class.
"Master Jinn. What seems to be the problem?"
"Nothing, why do you ask?"
"Well, um, never mind. So are you here to see Obi-Wan?"
He looked at her and smiled. She smiled back and went to get Obi-Wan.
"Obi-Wan, would you come here please?"
"Yes master."
The little boy hopped off his chair and saw Qui-Gon waiting for him.
"Qui-Gon!"
The tall master bent down to pick the boy up.
"Are you taking me out of class early?"
"No. I just wanted to say goodbye. I'm leaving on a mission today."
"Oh."
Qui-Gon hugged the boy and sat him down. Then he turn back to Sarah
"Please take care of him."
"Don't worry Qui-Gon, I always do."
He nodded and started to leave for the hanger.
"Qui-Gon?"
"Yes?"
"Take care of yourself."
He smiled and left.

"Where have you been master?" Xanatos asked when Qui-Gon came up.
"I had to say goodbye to Obi-Wan."
Xanatos decided it better not to say anything and just get on the ship.
The trip to Neible was short and Qui-Gon just hoped that this would be a short and easy mission.

"What can I do fer ya?"
"We would like to see the King please." Qui-Gon told the some-what dimwitted guard.
"And you might ya be?"
"My name is Qui-Gon Jinn and this is my apprentice Xanatos DeCruet." Qui- Gon explained.
"Ahh yes, the jedi." The guard said and turned to his partner, he whispered something and they let them in.
"Oh yes, most honorable jedi how nice of you to help us."
Qui-Gon bowed.
"It is our pleasure to be of some service."
"Please, sit." King Morton said and motioned to a couch.
The jedi sat and the king explained his problem.
Xanatos was only half listening but became interested when he heard his surname.
"And under the leadership of David DeCruet."
Xanatos felt his master stiffen.
/What is it/
/Nothing/
Xanatos waited until he and Qui-Gon were in their room before interrogating his master.
"Why did you stiffen in the room master? Something is obviously bothering you."
"It was nothing Xanatos."
Still not convinced, he sighed.
"Why wont you just tell me?!"
"It's not that easy. And I don't feel that it's the right time to tell you." And without another word he left.
"You're wrong master. I will find out, without your help if I must."
