Chapter 2: Surprising Information
3 months later
Lando Calrissian looked out of his cockpit at the planet Brevost. It wasn't a bad looking place, nice grassy land with some good sized cities, but he wasn't there for pleasure. Nope this was business.
"We wanted you to know of our suspicions on behalf of your customer, Aeron Joff." Mon Mothma said, "It appears he may have dealings with the Imperial Remnant."
"Never really liked the guy anyway," He had commented.
"Yes bit he knows you well," She said, "Perhaps you can learn what he does for the Empire."
"He lives on Brevost," Lando commented, "Not a very popular planet, makes sense why the Imperials could use it."
That would have been enough for him to do, but no, the woman wanted him to do another chore.
"It is also said that he held a Republic prisoner at his base," She said.
"And that means what to me?"
"We would be extremely grateful if you would find as much information on this prisoner." In other words, she might fill his wallet a little.
It wouldn't be so bad to make a little cash on this gig. Have a few credits to spend on the Sabaac tables.
After he landed his ship, Lando knew where to go. Aeron would be waiting for him at the bar, thinking this was only about business. Lando had his blasters ready case the situation got a little messy.
The bar was thick with smoke and many sweaty and scar riddled Humans and Aliens were enjoying mugs of rum and ale. Aeron was sitting at a table in the corner, waiting for him.
"Lando," He said standing to greet him, "A great honor to have you here on Brevost."
"I'm honored to be here Aeron," Lando said smiling, "but we have business to discuss."
"Right you are," Aeron said taking his seat, "and how may I help you."
"I was just curious about the Remnant."
Aeron raised an eyebrow, "The Remnant? What about it?"
"Rumor has it that you are a part of it," Lando said.
"Didn't you learn never to listen to rumors?"
"Yes, but this rumor may be true, right?" Lando pressed.
"I don't know where you are getting your information, Calrissian, but I don't do anything with the Empire."
"Now I don't like the Empire," Lando said, "and I also don't like liars, so why don't you just tell me what exactly you do for the Remnant."
Aeron smiled, "You just won't quit will you?"
"When ever I set my mind to something, I get it."
"Well, you're gonna wish you had," Aeron laughed. With the push of a button, his chair disappeared beneath the floor. All the men in the bar pulled out their blaster and grenades.
Lando looked at them with a smile, "Looks like the party's getting started."
He whipped out his blaster, as many shots were fired his way. Lucky for him, most of them were drunk, or just couldn't shoot for their lives. Most of them hit the floor in ten seconds flat. Lando dodged grenades, and fired through the smoke.
The smoke was so thick now, that he was able to escape down the hall without being seen. He opened the first door, looking for Aeron, found a few supplies and kegs of ale, but nothing.
After running down several corridors, and firing at guards, he found a large room with a computer in it. Interesting, Lando thought, and tapped in. A bunch of files and different codes came up, he couldn't access them without a password, but he could tell what they were. Imperial documents, looks like Mon Mothma was right.
A large bang, made Lando spin around. A Gammorean was chucking grenades his way. Lando pulled out his blaster and hit him right between the eyes.
"Now to find Aeron and what else that scum bag may know," Lando muttered to himself.
It didn't take him to long to find him. He had to follow the string of guards. Aeron was hiding out in a small room. It wasn't much, just a couple of chairs, and a lot of empty space.
"I hate to be rude Aeron, but you sure are a rotten host."
"I'm not telling you nothing," He glared at Lando.
Lando shrugged, "Fine by me, I guess I can kill you now then."
He stuck his blaster into the pig's face, "Wait, wait, wait!" Aeron pleaded, "What do you want to know?"
"What is it the Remnant wants with you?"
"I smuggle them supplies, and money really," Aeron said, "They don't send troopers here usually."
"See I caught the word usually, so when do they send Stormtroopers?" Lando asked.
"Just once, I swear just once!" Aeron said.
Lando took a guess, "It's said you held a prisoner here once, is that why troopers were here?"
"Yeah, that's why."
"Who was this prisoner?"
Aeron snorted, "Why do you want to know?"
"Hey who's the one with the blaster here?" Lando warned.
"Look, I don't know who she was," Aeron said, "just some girl."
Lando raised an eyebrow, "A girl, what did the Remnant want with a girl?"
"They didn't want her, alright, and I don't know why." Aeron said, "She may have been a girl, but she wasn't no damsel in distress. That woman fought tooth and nail."
Lando chuckled, "Sounds like someone I once knew."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever," Aeron rolled his eyes, "Her name was Jan something."
Lando's eyes grew wide, "Jan Ors?"
"Yeah that was it."
"Where is she? Who took her?" Lando asked frantically.
"A bounty hunter brought her in 3 months ago, okay. We held her here for a few days then the Sith came and took her."
"The Sith?" Lando asked, "What'd they want with Jan?"
"How the heck am I supposed to know?" Aeron asked, "All I know is that they wanted her, alright?"
"You said a bounty hunter brought her here," Lando said, "Who was he?"
"Rogan Chol, he drank practically all the ale while he was here," Aeron said with disgust, "He stuck around till the Sith came and took the girl."
"Thanks, Aeron," Lando said turning to leave.
"You...you're not going to kill me? Aeron said surprised.
Lando smirked, "Nope, I'm not, but I can't say the same for the Republic."
He could practically hear Aeron shivering in his boots at the thought of the Republic coming here. Lando didn't really care what Mon Mothma did with the Bantha scum, he had to get to Yavin. Jan was here, Lando thought. One thing was for sure, a certain Jedi needed to know about the prisoner on Brevost.
The lush jungles of Yavin were always quite breath taking in the morning sun. It almost helped Kyle forget the pain he felt, almost. Jan had visited Yavin only a few times, never when Kyle was being trained at it. She never got the chance. It had been three months since she had vanished from Coruscant. Mon Mothma and General Rieekan had long since announced her dead, held a memorial service for her, then forgot about her entirely. She wasn't buried and forgotten by Kyle. Sometimes he wondered himself why he dared to hope she was alive. Perhaps it would have torn him apart completely if he admitted she was gone.
"Kyle," came the calm voice of Luke Skywalker.
"Hey Luke," Kyle turned to greet his friend.
"Are you alright?" Luke asked, "You seem troubled."
"Its nothing," Kyle said, "I'm just remembering some things."
Luke nodded, understanding who he meant, "You think of Jan."
"She...she still haunts my dreams," Kyle said sadly.
He had mentioned a long time ago of seeing Jan in his dreams. Luke hadn't thought anything of it, but it had been three months since she had disappeared, and this got him wondering, "Tell me about these dreams."
"I see her alone," Kyle said, "She's in pain...so much pain, and I can't do anything to stop it."
Luke nodded a little, "These dreams could be your fears, fears that she is alive, but you are powerless to help her, or they could be what is happening to her."
"I wish I knew," Kyle said.
Luke scanned the horizon; he frowned at a speck coming closer and closer. He realized it was a ship, but who's? Kyle noticed the ship too. When it came into full view he recognized it right away.
"It's Lando," he said, "What is he doing here?"
"You don't owe him any money, or anything?" Luke asked.
"No it'd be the other way around," Kyle snickered.
The two Jedi made their way to the landing pad to see what their old buddy Lando wanted.
"Hey Calrissian," Kyle called when he emerged.
"Kyle, Luke," Lando said when he saw them, "Just the two I wanted to see."
"What'd you do this time?" Kyle asked, "Steal from the wrong Imperial?"
"Hey I didn't do anything buddy," Lando defended himself, "This is about what I found on my latest mission."
"The Academy doesn't need any trinkets you might have picked up," Luke said.
Lando rolled his eyes, "Will you two just listen to me?"
"Sure, we're listening," Kyle said.
Lando looked at Kyle sincerely, "You might wanna sit down buddy."
"Uh...why?"
"Cause I don't wanna have to pick you up if you faint."
"Will you just tell us already?" Kyle said impatiently.
"Alright," Lando said, "I was on Brevost seeing if one of my customers from Bespin was an Imperial. Rumor was that there was a prisoner there at one point. Aeron said the prisoner was Jan."
"Jan," Kyle said shocked.
"Yes, Jan."
"As in my Jan."
"As in your Jan."
"Where is she? What happened to her?" Kyle asked anxiously.
"I don't have all the details," Lando said, "It looks like a bounty hunter brought her to Brevost three months ago. Aeron held her there until the Sith came and took her."
"Sith?" Luke asked, "The Sith took her?"
"That's what it looks like."
"Why her?" Kyle asked.
"I don't know," Lando replied.
"Who was the bounty hunter that took her?"
Lando smiled, "That I can give you. Some deadbeat named Rogan Chol."
"Oh, him," Kyle said, "Shouldn't be too hard to find him."
"You know him?" Lando asked
"Never in person, he's just a bounty hunter trying to gain fame," Kyle commented, "Enjoys drinking from what I gather."
"Aeron mentioned him drinking his stock of ale dry," Lando added.
"Well we know where people want to go for a good drink," Kyle said.
"He must at Ord Mantell," Luke said.
"That's what I'm thinking," Kyle said, "And that's where I'm going." He turned to Lando, "Thanks for the lead buddy."
"I figured you needed to know,' He replied, 'I'll tell Mon Mothma what I know about Jan, and that you guys got it covered."
Kyle nodded, "So long Lando."
"I hope you find her," Lando said getting ready to board his ship.
"We'll do our best," Luke said.
As Lando's ship blasted away, Kyle was anxious to get on his own ship.
"Kyle do you remember that disturbance in the Force we felt a month ago?" Luke asked.
"Yeah, but what does that have to do with anything?"
"The Sith are involved here, Kyle, perhaps they are planning something."
"They're always planning something nasty," Kyle said, "I don't see how this will help us find Jan."
"It may have everything to do with Jan," Luke responded, "I feel as if they are working on something, I just don't know what."
"It doesn't matter now, Luke," Kyle said, 'Jan's alive, and I'm gonna find her."
"We don't know for sure if she is alive."
"We've got a lead, and that's more than what we've had for the past three months," Kyle said.
"If the Sith are planning something,' Luke said, "What do they want with her?"
"I'd like to answer that myself," Kyle said, "And that's what I'm gonna do. Are you with me or not?"
"I'm going with you, Kyle," Luke said, "These Sith are dangerous no doubt, and Jan is my friend, I want to know who took her and why."
"Then let's find out," Kyle said, "Lets bring her home."
A/N: Yeah we're going to Ord Mantell! Next chapter coming soon.
