Bounty
Part 2

"Wedge! Wake up!" Wes Janson pounded on the door to Wedge's quarters. "Wedge!" he shouted again.
"I don't think he's in there. Maybe he stayed at Iella's place," Corran Horn said.
"He's not at Iella's, because I just called her, looking for Wedge. She hasn't seen him since he dropped her off last night. Wedge! Open up!" He went back to pounding and shouting.
Corran closed his eyes for a moment, concentrated, then opened them and said, "Wes, he's not in there. He's not anywhere near. I don't even think he came back last night."
Wes stopped pounding the door. "Where would he have gone? He wouldn't have missed that meeting General Cracken called without good reason. Even if he had good reason, he still wouldn't have missed it. The general wasn't exactly happy with Wedge this morning."
"I'd noticed." Corran wandered down the hall and stopped at the door to Gavin's quarters. "Wes, does Gavin have a lady friend?"
"Not since Asyr died. At least not to my knowledge. Why?"
"Never mind. Stupid question."
"Corran, you're acting weird. Are you feeling all right?"
"Wait a minute. Wes, put in a call to General Cracken."
"Why?" Wes asked, bewildered.
"Just do it."
"All right, all right. What am I supposed to tell him, though? That Wedge isn't in his room and we don't know where he is?"
"Tell him Wedge is missing. I think someone collected on that bounty on his head."
"Wonderful. So, for all we know, Wedge may be dead."
"Wes. . ."
"I think I'll go make that call now."

The boarding ramp lowered with a quiet hum and a small thump as it made contact with the ground. Hope was first down the ramp, followed by Wedge.
"Where are we?"
"Anobis." A curt, one-word answer.
"Why?" he wanted to know next.
"I vill meet someone here who hes coordinates for me. This person vill also hev another mission for me, supposedly. You vill come vith me. If anyone esks your neme, you vill enswer vith Tiernan Ferral, clear? And keep your hood up. Ve are quite a vey out of up-to-date information circles, but someone might still recognize you. I don't need eny more complications then I already hev." She turned and began walking towards what looked to Wedge to be an open-air market.
