Sorry it has been so long, but my internet explorer wasn't working. It was telling me that it caused a TPS108.DLL. error of some sort…anyone heard of one of those? Didn't think so. So anyways, here is chapter dos…
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Since the compactor walls were so close, there was no room to move the debris around. Therefore, Han, Leia and Chewie had to move everything out through the door. doing this slowed their progress, but there were no other options.
Chewie had been stationed closest to the buried youth, And Han was between him and the door. Chewie was the one who mainly unburied Luke, then he handed the debris to Han, who then, in turn, passed it to Leia, who was stationed at the door. With this arrangement, it only took a couple of minutes to get Luke unburied enough for Chewie to pull him out.
"Alright Chewie! Pull him out." Han instructed the Wookie.
"Come on Luke…" Leia silently pleaded. Eventhough she barely knew the kid who broke into her cell to rescue her, she felt connected to him. He was unbelievably brave to risk his life to save her, and now, how did she repay him? She had lead into a trash compactor, where he might loose his life. Leia begged silently for him to pull through. She needed him to pull through, she never had the chance to thank him.
"Great work Chewie! Hand him here." Han, once again instructed Chewbacca, who was cradling the unconscious farmboy.
Han, after taking Luke from Chewie, cautiously walked over the discarded metal and left the compactor. As soon as he passed through the door, Leia was by his side. She helped Han lay him down in the hallway, then began to check if he was still alive.
"He isn't breathing! We need to get this armor off him." She told Han, who had already begun removing the stormtrooper disguise.
"Damn you kid, give me a sign." Cursed Han. While checking for a heartbeat. Leia, who was doing her best to stay composed, had begun to push Luke's unruly hair off his face.
"Come on kid, the old man will kill me if you don't pull through." He pleaded, not wanting to come off sounding too concerned. After checking for a heartbeat a second time, Han began to push on Luke's chest.
"Princess breathe for him!" Han yelled at Leia, his emotions getting the better of him. Chewie, who stood silently behind, began to moan softly. He too had grown attached to the sandy-haired boy from Tatooine.
