Chapter 4:

Looking out, Miennya sighed in relief as the streets were clear. She had left a long note on her bed the morning she had left, explaining everything in it. She knew this was the right thing to do, Ben had told her she must face him. This was the only way she could destroy his influence in her life and rid herself of the Dark Side. It was then that she felt like Master Luke had related long ago when he saw his father in the tree on Dagobah. This was a vital point of her training and she felt elated and terror-filled at the same time, to be frank.

Twisting a smile, the man nodded. "Very well, my errant apprentice. We indeed have you but we shall not let your friends escape unharmed."

Turning, Miennya was hit full in the face with the butt of a stun gun and dropped silently on the floor unconscious. The man nodded at the officer and watched as she was dragged out of the room towards the cells. Shaking his head, the man created a holonet message and sent it from his receiver in the floor. Standing, he walked out of the room with a sardonic grin on his face....
