Chapter 6:
Obi-Wan stared up at the sign in wonder. He could hardly believe his eyes; although he knew what he was seeing was true. The peeling letters that almost proudly spelled out:
1 DID S NEW CAF
He bowed his head back down and tried to suppress the hope he felt rise up from his stomach. Yes he was sure he had seen it.
The dim light faded into even dimmer light through the dim hood as he stepped through the doorway into the shabby café. He felt himself being steered around the cramped tables and he had to focus to try not to hit anyone.
He was thrown down roughly on a bar stool and the two men sat down on either side of him.
"Hello" he heard a familiar voice, "What's up for today?"
Obi-Wan quickly looked up into the girl's bright eyes as she turned to look at him. "Head down numskull" a raspy voice said as his head was roughly slammed against the wood counter. Nether the less he listened closely and let his other senses kick n. Astri was acting as if nothing had even happened almost like this was an everyday occurrence. It probably was thought Obi-Wan, knowing the place himself, as she left into the back room.
She came back shortly after with two plates balanced on one arm. She set hem down in front of them. "Anything to drink?" she asked non- chalently. "Two straight," answered the man to Obi-Wan's right, as the man to his left stuffed his bulbous face into his plate.
Astri bent down to get the drinks from under the counter and Obi-Wan saw his chance, he slowly picked up his head a little, just enough to see the girl. And to his surprise she was looking straight at him. "Here she whispered briskly, "Eat this," she threw a hard plain biscuit type thing under Obi-Wan's hood and winked as she straightened back up with the drinks.
Obi-Wan stared down at the cookie was it safe? He remembered Qui- Gon's warning all to well "Whatever you do don't eat the food." He sighed, but then again that had been Didi's cooking, maybe his daughter had improved?
He took a deep breath and picked up the cookie with his teeth and being careful not to make a sound, chewed and swallowed it.
Obi-Wan couldn't help but cringe as he felt a rather hard chunk slide down his throat maybe he had been wrong? It tasted unpleasantly like the biscuits he and Siri had been forced to make on one of their missions together. He smiled despite the taste as he remembered being forced to wash the huge stacks of dishes in the kitchen, and al the water Siri had all over the place as she complained in her usual manner.

Qui-Gon paced up and down the floor of his room, he kept staring over at Obi-Wan's sleep couch with his survival pack and lightsaber lying blissfully upon it. He kept telling himself that he wouldn't have been be so worried if the boy had his lightsaber with him.
He jumped as his comlink went off, he hadn't slept in two day's pacing his room at night and training during the day too keep his mind off the boy. He quickly activated his comlink and he cleared his voice, "hello," he asked quietly. Not daring to let hope rise in himself. "The council have summoned you," the machine replied.
Qui-Gon was out of his room in a minute and quickly striding down the hall, he felt a pang as he noticed that he was waiting for Obi-Wan to swing into stride beside him as he so often did.
Qui-Gon accessed the doors and, strode into the center of the council room. Yoda eyed him idly, but didn't say anything.
Qui-Gon felt confused, why where they staling? Every nerve in his body was on fire, he could feel the connection to his padawan sure as ever. He couldn't stand being alone; he wanted Obi-Wan back safe and sound where he knew where he was. He breathed in and willed his muscles to relax, but he really didn't know how long he would last.
He didn't even bother to turn when he heard the door open behind him. Adi- Galia and her young padawan Siri strode in. Qui-Gon was only slightly surprised to see the pair; they had worked together many times.
"Of Obi-Wan we have news" Qui-Gon let out another slow controlled breath and raised his head a little, ready for what ever was coming.
****
LOL you thought I was going to leave you there didn't you??? LOL
****
Siri looked up at the strong figure, she could feel his nerves under his calm appearance. It must be horrible she thought to loose some one that close.
We have found Obi-Wan and you are to go to see an old friend Qui-Gon, now you two have worked well together in the past and we trust you to do what ever it takes, that boy must not fall into the wrong hands.
But where are we to go? Thought Qui-Gon feverishly.
"Hurry you must and see Didi, for he has news of your padawan. Go now."
The three left the counsel room and hurried on their way towards the leading dock.
