No scary dreams last night. No dreams at all actually. Maybe it was because I barely slept. I really have to stop thinking about the dream, about the Republic... about Carth. Easier said then done though.

Today is my day off. I forgot about that this morning; I even ended up going to the cantina just to be told to go home. I really don't feel like staying home all day. I usually just walk around on my day off, or sometimes go to work anyway. Today, I don't feel like doing any of those things. I just want to relax.

I walk to my bedroom and lay down on my bed. Hmmm.... what to do... what to do. I slowly feel my eyes close.

"Serenity?"
I think I can hear my name being called even though I am not fully awake.

"I don't think she is waking up for anybody. She probably drank too much last night."

That was another voice. Alright, time to open my eyes.

I finally do open my eyes and jump half way across the room. In my room are two Sith soldiers, all clad in their shiny metallic armor.

"What is going on? How did you get in here? Isn't there a law against breaking and entering?... Sorry, I take that back. What do you want... sir... s." I was panicking. Never in the whole time that I lived on Taris had anything like this happened.

"Umm... sorry to have startled you miss but..."

"Startled me? You and your friend have broke into my house, come into my room, and now say your sorry?"

"Yeah... well... as I was saying... we are here to ask you a few questions."

"Questions? About..."

"About the Republic fugitives."

Holy shit. They must have gotten a hint from someone that I possibly knew who the fugitives were. What should I tell them... that I do know... or lie?

"Miss?"

"Yes... officers?"

"Do you know anything about the fugitives?"

"Yes, I do."

"Oh, really? Care to tell us?"

"Sure..."

I stop and think for a second. What can I say? Well, I could tell them the truth 'Yes officers, I know who the fugitives are and I can show you where they are.' Or I could lie 'Yes officers I have heard of the fugitives but nothing more.' What should I do?

"Miss... we really don't have all day here. So, do you know where they are?"

"No. I have only heard of them; I don't know where they are or who they are."

"I see."

"If I hear anything, I will let you know."

"That won't be necessary," the other officer says, as he talks for the first time.

"Why?" I start to feel afraid for Carth. "Have you found them?"

"What do you care," the other officer says again. I turn my attention toward him.

"I don't know... Just thought I should ask."

"Well... they have been caught."

I gasp. Carth and Jared have been caught. Maybe one of them told that I helped them. That's why the Sith are here in my room.

"Do you have anything you would like to change about your story?"

"No," I say quietly.

"What was that miss?"

"No," I say louder and look at him.

"See I told you. You were just being paranoid," the first officer whom I talked to says as he goes to sit down in a chair.

"Huh? What... what is going on?" I look around confused. I can't figure this out. They come in wanting to know if I know anything about the fugitives. I get caught in a lie and they are HAPPY? This is wrong.

"Maybe I was being paranoid, but... sorry, beautiful. I hope we didn't scare you that much."

"Beautif..." Before I could finish, realization dawns on me.
