Boba Fett: Deception
It was raining on the planet Curon. It always rained, but he did not mind. It made things a bit more... interesting. Even fun. Being the best bounty hunter in the galaxy could get tiresome sometimes. Some bounties just put up no challenge, but the money was good. And that was what was really important. He had been hiding in the jungle canopy for several minutes when he saw his target. A blue-green alien with large red bulging eyes and long snout crept from the underbrush. "Good," he thought, "he thinks I've left."
When the alien was in range he fired a poison dart into the target's neck. The alien dropped to the ground. It was not dead, just paralyzed. He climbed down from his hiding place in the tree and spoke to the alien.
"Krans DiGarl, Jabba the Hutt has placed a large reward on your head. I plan to get that reward."
The alien simply looked up and mumbled out the name of his captor.
"Boba Fett..."
Fett picked up Krans and took him back to his ship, Slave I. Shortly later the ship was off planet and making its way to the desert planet of Tatooine.
Boba Fett had been in Jabba's steel palace many times before, but he could never truly get used to the smell- a mix of rotten flesh, mold, rust and other unpleasentries. He was led by a droid to Jabba's main chamber. He entered and was greeted by almost everyone. Most were simply afraid. Boba stodd in front of Jabba. He threw Krans body to the floor. Jabba eyed the body. He then spoke in his native language.
"I said alive, Fett."
"He is alive. See?"
Fett rolled Krans over and showed Jabba his face.
"Good. Good," Jabba spoke, "Throw him in."
The floor opened slightly and Krans was rolled in. The floor closed behind. His screams were heard along with crunching sounds. Now Boba could press the matter of his fee.
"I believe we agreed on thirty."
"I thought it was tweenty," Jabba replied.
Fett knew Jabba better than the gangster Hutt realized. He wasn't going to let the slug trick him out of his hard earned credits.
"It was thirty, Jabba."
The two talked for sometime before the Hutt finally came around.
"Now what are you going to do, Fett?" Jabba asked.
"I suppose I'll head off. I heard there's a good bounty on a Bothan in..."
Jabba cut Boba off. "Stay here for a time. You know you are always welcome. I'm having a party on my barge tomarrow. You must come."
Fett didn't really care for this, but Jabba was one of his best employers.
"Alright. I'll stay," Boba Fett replied.
