Darth Sidious had just fallen asleep. Fallen asleep as much as anyone could that was as hated as he was. Although he had his red guard for protection, his subconscious was always alert to the things that went on around him even though he feigned a sleep state.
He was up, out of bed, and stood in the middle of it with his saber drawn bare feet tangled in the cover and long john bright red long johns worn by the sith lord.
Emperor Tolan was accompanied by two of his own guards and they pulled their weapons over the shock of the red guard blasters aimed at them. However, Tolan himself had to stifle an outright laugh when he saw Darth Sidious poised in the middle of his bed.
//He certainly doesn't look like such a formable adversary now. Glad the Jedi didn't get the opportunity to see this. They would have attacked us by now and laughed them selves to death doing it.//
"Lord Sidious. So sorry if we startled you."
"Hun… ugh…" Sidious cleared his throat and adjusted his red underwear as he made his way off the bed.
"I was not startled, just prepared. Light sleeper you know."
Obi woke up in his chair and witnessed the amusing sight. He would have laughed had he not been so miserable at being trapped plus his concern for his master and his guardian.
"Now would you explain why you woke me up in the early morning hours. This had better be good really good."
"You may think so, The Jedi. Master Jinn and Knight Vos have returned."
No one noticed the Jedi apprentice fight harder against his tied hands. Just the idea of his master and Quin downstairs with no knowledge of the dark one up above them pushed the adrenaline through Obi's veins. He would have like nothing better than to get out of his ties and yell to his master. Any attempt to reach his master through their bond was out of the question. Not only was he tied up, he was behind some kind of force that emanated from Sidious. He could not make even a minuscule mental contact with either Vos or his master.
"So, what do they want this time?"
If Darth Sidious was concerned about the Jedi's return, he gave no outward indication of it.
"They said they came to ask for a reprieve on the time I gave them. They want another day or two."
"Out of the question. They have to leave and leave now."
"Well, I don't think that is the only reason they came, though they didn't say that."
"What makes you think there is another reason?"
"Well you see the last time they were here .. Well I kinda I…"
"I, I, I, What exactly did I [you] do?"
"I think I may have mention Jinn's padawan by name.
"A.N.D.?" Sidious waited a moment as if he expected an answer to his "and". He didn't get one so he continued.
"Is there a problem with his name…. so what?"
"You see the Jedi… they referred to as missing was just that."
"Just "what", man? Quit stumbling over your words and tell me of what you are talking about?"
"You see m' lord.."
"Stop right there. I am not your lord, don't refer to me as that. Sidious, Darth Sidious, anything but m' lord. Now continue, what is it man? Just say what you have to say. I need my rest."
By now the dark lord had the decency to put on his long robe over his long-johns.
"You see they…. Master Jinn…. I mean… called the missing Jedi, a Jedi."
He hesitated. He hated to tell the dark lord of his misnomer.
"SO?"
"Well you see I don't think Master Jinn mentioned which Jedi it was."
"Oh, I know now. You supplied him the name of his apprentice without being told to you by them. Am I right?"
"Yes .. Kinda.. Well yes I suppose you arrrr.. Right I mean."
"You know… I am right that is why you are so afraid and rightly so. Had I not been quite pleased with my prize."
He pointed his saber toward the Jedi apprentice still tied to the chair.
"I might be quite angry with you. Enough to take your head off right now, and your men. Well they would stand there and do nothing or face the same fate. Like I said I am pleased with my gift from you so I will allow one mistake, only one though Emperor Tolan. Now what should we do about that *one* mistake, any suggestions?"
"I suppose I will go back down there, greet them, and insist they leave first thing in the morning. The same plan as what I had when they were here earlier."
Darth Sidious walked around the room. Tolan couldn't help but think how much more sithly the man looked with his robe on to cover the silly red long johns."
Sidious tapped his finger on his chin a couple of times and swirled around to face the emperor once again.
"No, I don't think that will due at all. You see that might make them even more suspicious. Although I can handle two Jedi with no trouble whosoever, I would like not to be tracked down by them later. No, it would be better if you can convince them that the boy has died. Find a way to do that? Wait…I know.. Yes I know."
Sidious seemed excited with the idea he had come up with but had yet to tell Tolan of it. The emperor was not going to push the Sith for his solution even though the Jedi waited for him down stairs. He had two adversaries trained in fighting with the force behind them. He didn't know which would be worse to cross. However the glare Sidious cast on him led him to believe it would be better to wait for what he had to say.
"Emperor Tolan, tell the Jedi Master Jinn you saw the concern on his face. It was so deep you must have just assumed it was the Kenobi boy, his apprentice." Yes, do that would you for me? I mean if their suspicion are quelled and they leave all the better for me and you. If not then I will see to it they are disposed of and your name will never be linked to that disposal."
That did sound good to Tolan, very good it if the dark lord's idea worked …
