Chap 7: So Close
A/N: Sorry for not updating, but I have only gotten one review with the last chapter, but oh well.
Anakin sat on the bus. He was next to Padmè, and was on the outside, and who was next to him but Owen. He smirked at that. He had of course set "arrangements" for that. Next to him was Corelle, who he was unaware he would use as blackmail on Owen later on. He leaned over to Ryan as Padmè slept peacefully next to him. After all, it was a long trip, and she didn't want to fall asleep when she got home.
"So, Owen, you know," Anakin said, with a soft voice that sounded threatening.
"So," Owen said unworriedly.
"And I, as you know, want to know, so you will tell me," Anakin said.
Anakin remembered about Jedi mind tricks, and wanted to slap himself for not knowing how to do them.
"I am only not telling you because it will hurt you," Owen said.
"No it won't, now tell me now," he said, in a voice that threatened to get louder.
"I'm not going to tell you," Owen said.
Anakin's insides fumed. He had to know. Owen knew that Anakin could hurt him easily, but he felt safer around other people that could get Anakin in a lot of trouble for that. Anakin knew that was exactly why Owen didn't show any fear at all.
Anakin closed his eyes, and put his fingers on his temples as he connected to the Force, and sent a mental message to Bail.
"[I]We will have to get some blackmail on him.[/I]"
Anakin saw Bail nod. Bail could not use the Force, so he couldn't message back.
*{[]}*
Anakin arrived at the dorm to the Jedi Temple. He immediately went to his desk, and picked up his com-link. He dialed Bail's number as Bail picked up.
"So what do you think we could use as blackmail?" Bail immediately asked.
"The only thing I can think of is who he likes, but I don't know who knows that," Anakin answered.
"Maybe Lando knows something," said Bail.
"OK, I'll ask him tomorrow," answered Anakin.
*{[]}*
"Do you know who Owen likes?" asked Anakin.
"Yeah," said Lando.
"Who?" said Anakin.
"Can't tell you," said Lando, before scuffling off.
"What is up with that answer lately?" asked Anakin sarcastically.
*{[]}*
"Whoa, I just remembered," said Bail said.
"Remembered what?" asked Anakin.
"Who Owen likes," said Bail, anxiously.
Anakin immediately grabbed Bail's arm forcibly, which made Bail jerk to a stop.
"Who?" Anakin asked more anxious than Bail had been.
"Corelle," Bail said.
*{[]}*
"Owen, come here," Anakin said; he was about to find out.
"What?" Owen asked.
"I know who you like, so you will tell me the secret," Anakin demanded.
"Who?" asked Owen.
Anakin simply pointed to Corelle.
"Come here," Owen said, taking him to a place where no one would hear.
