Obi-Wan Kenobi had not seen the bounty hunter for several months,and strangely he found himself hoping he would discover the green armored youth in the shadows of his small hut like house.From time to time the young bounty hunter would seemingly appear out of nowhere,discuss the political aspects of the galaxy,the old versus the new,and then disappear as if he was never there.
The jedi master gave a snort and told himself that he was being foolish,still he felt an odd sort of respect for the mandalorian clone,and his uncanny abilities.And he was sure that perhaps the hunter also felt this way,although he knew neither man would ever trust the other...
Suddenly a harsh grating voice broke through the shadows,"You know...you're not as smart as you like to think...",it stated bluntly,as Obi-Wan searched out its owner.
Boba Fett stood in a relaxed military position,one hand clasped the wrist of the other behind his back.The older man was a bit surprised,this was the first time the hunter had not greeted him with the business end of his rifle,"How so,my young friend?",he said with a small smile.
The hunter fidgeted slightly,he hated it when Kenobi called him that,but for some reason he tolerated it and he frowned behind the black visor."The boy...",he stated flatly,"...you should have changed his name...".
The jedi's normally placid features frowned slightly,before they changed back to that slight knowing smile,"Surely,you did not come all the way here to tell me someone might remember that name from the past...",he chided,"...or how to be a better fugitive".
The battered helmet tilted at an odd angle for a moment,before an unsavory chuckle escaped its confines,"Why jedi master,do you tire of my poor company?",Fett asked in a rare moment of jest.Sometimes he wasn't sure why he continued to see the older man after the first time they conversed,he had come to the small hut with the intent to kill the jedi,or at least wrangle all his secrets from him first.Instead,they talked....about the Old Republic,Palpatine,Jedi,.....his father Jango Fett and the Mandalorians.
Boba Fett was pleased to discover that Obi-Wan was impressed by his father's skills,"For an a man with no force talents to defeat twelve Jedi...",Kenobi stated,when they spoke of the battle of Galidraan one day,"...and I've seen his talents first hand".The bearded man was surprised when the hunter confessed that his father spoke of Obi-Wan at Geonosis with the greatest of respect,"You and he are...were alike",Fett stated,"....at least as warriors...".
But that was then and this was now,"You're right.....I want something from you Jedi...",the hunter said cautiously,"I want...your assistence".Obi-Wan blinked and stared blankly at the man before him,did he hear correctly,did Fett just ask for his help?The ex-general opened his mouth to speak but was cut off by a gesture from the younger man,"Hear me out first,Kenobi.I believe I have earned that right...",Fett stated in his gravelly voice,a hint of his outworlder accent still clung to it.Obi-Wan nodded silently and gestured back at the hunter for him to continue.
"It's a just cause,before any of your Jedi morals get in the way...",the bounty hunter growled,"Slavers...I've been hired to stop them from raiding a town on Ryloth...female Twi'leks are in high demand and the elders there knows they are a prime target",the younger man said,"I will pay you or make a trade for supplies...but I find that I do not trust my fellow hunters in this matter".
Obi-Wan gave a pensive look,"I'm honored that you trust me then...",he started,but was rudely cut off by the hunter's snort of amusement,"I do not trust you either,Jedi Master...but I know your codes and your morals,therefore I know you",he said matter of factly.The jedi master gave a grave look,"You're correct about my jedi codes,but...I can not....I must not be discovered",he said with great sadness,for Obi-Wan heart was breaking at the thought of denying the innocent of aid.
Boba Fett's usual frown crooked into an ugly scowl behind the black visor,"You'll go or I'll broadcast your name all over this damned galaxy and that Skywalker brat's as well",he snarled viciously,"You accursed jedi are all the same".
Obi-Wan looked away for a moment,before he spoke,"The galaxy is a complex place,my fri...",a gloved finger pointed menacingly at the bearded man,"Don't ever call me that again...you don't deserve to,not even in jest",he snarled."The galaxy is straight forward and simple,your way of thinking is what makes it complicated for you....now Jedi master,you'll do as I tell you....or maybe Lord Vader will be interested in purchasing information on his former teacher",the hunter threatened,"Do you think that I am so careless,Kenobi?".
"So high and mighty just like all the other jedi",the armored youth growled,"Wouldn't even think that a lowly bounty hunter could keep your pathetic secret safe...",Boba Fett pulled his rifle up from its resting spot and aimed it at the bearded man before him,"You're doing it for the boy aren't you?",the hunter spat the question,and Obi-Wan thought he heard a hint of envy."Yes",the robed man replied curtly,"Well....go or I'll expose him too",Fett stated flatly.
Owi-Wan Kenobi stood facing the armored form of Boba Fett,both men stared at each other silently as they could feel themselves slipping down the rungs of the ladder of respect they had slowly forged between them.Until the jedi found he could no longer look at his reflection in the black T-shaped visor,he was sure that the hunter would revel in the moment...the jedi had faltered first,"Very well......you leave me no choice",Kenobi stated in a tone almost as flat as the hunter's.
"There never was one....",Fett said quietly.
