Author's Note: Thank you for reading! As this story progresses, I realize that I'll have to rewrite some (and by some I mean all-lol) the previous chapters, there just seems to be more information that I need the readers to know in order for this story to work. And I realized how sloppily written they are, and I apologize! So I'm very sorry if there are inconsistencies or sloppy planning on my part, this is the first story I've gotten this far on! Oh, and I don't own Star Wars. At all. :)

Oh, and I apologize for the short chapters lately, life is crazy right now...

"You wanted to see me?" Jacen and the prisoner sat across from each other at a table in the small room. The prisoner remained silent, only shaking his head and sighing deeply, as if trying to figure out how to proceed.

Finally, he said, "My name is Lewic."

"I'm-" Jacen began, but Lewic interrupted him.

"-Jacen Solo, I know. How could I not?" Lewic began with his story slowly. "First of all, this attack wasn't my idea. There is a man in the Imperial Corporate building, who I saw every day. He... he threatened me." Lewic paused again. Jacen could tell he had been working out the courage to tell him this.

The prisoner gained intensity in his features, "He threatened my family. My wife...my three children. He said he would kill them!" He beat his fist on the table, then buried his face in his hands. "I had to. I love them so much. I couldn't let anything happen to them, I had to, don't you understand?"

Lewic was bordering on the edge of his previous state of insanity. He reached across the table and grabbed the front of Jacen's jacket and yelled, "Don't you understand?!"

Jacen pulled the man's hands off his plain brown jacket, as Lewic began to sob again. "Lewic. Who did this? Who made you shoot my mother?" Jacen pushed a calming nature through the Force towards the prisoner.

Lewic regained his composure again. "He was a lawyer. I was just a security guard in the building, but he thought he could pull some strings and get me a job in the Palace. For about a month, it was the greatest job I've ever had. My family, they lived comfortably. I worked normal hours.

"Then, I received a call from him. I meant to thank him, but before I could, he told me he had an assignment for me. You know the rest; I shot the most famous woman in the galaxy. To protect my family."

"What is this man's name?" Jacen asked slowly.

"He never told me. But he did have this uncanny way of getting me to believe him and his threats. Like he was a Jedi or something." He gave a weak chuckle. "But he wasn't, I could tell. A Jedi would never say the things he said."

Jacen knew immediately who he was talking about. The Force-sensitive Barr brother Tenel Ka had encountered.

"We'll have to heavily investigate that middle Barr brother." General Niron was discussing Jacen's interview with Jacen and various other NRI officers. "Scarnt, we'll put you on that, I need Barr in here ASAP."

The officer Scarnt began to get up from his chair and leave the room, but Jacen said, "General, I don't think that's the best course of action in this case."

"Why is that Mr. Solo? Barr is clearly dangerous."

"Dangerous, yes, but since we don't know what else he's got up his sleeve, it might be best to treat this case with caution. He's Force sensitive, though he probably doesn't know it yet. Let Tenel Ka and I have a few more days. We'll get to the bottom of this, sir."

After briefing Tenel Ka on the events of the previous night, they set off to their second day of work, in disguise.

Jacen entered his cubicle and sat down to begin his typing of the day. His fingers moved of their own accord, his brain retracing all that had happened in the last few days. Mara had chosen Jacen and Tenel Ka jobs based on the location of the offices and type of work done in each. Both jobs were located relatively close to the bottom of the building, Tenel Ka's on the third floor, Jacen's on the fourth. This would allow them time to catch a suspicious person before the left the building, as there were over 100 floors above them.

At Jacen's typing job, many of the documents or databases of the entire building passed through, and it would be a chance for them to investigate any suspiciousness in those documents. Tenel Ka would keep an eye out for anything irregular about the law practice as well.

It was only in a stroke of luck that Tenel Ka had been situated in the exact office of the alleged perpetrator. It was all working out perfectly, even better than planned.

Jacen finished one folder of databases, then put it in his 'out' box and reached for the next folder. It was made of a tough purple paper, and the instructions typed on the outside read, "These letters pertain to a lawsuit, please type them up and send them via the Net to address ImperialCorpBuilding/Level3/Office1/BarrLegal/Richard."

Jacen did all he could to contain a gasp of surprise. The Barr legal office! Yet another lucky circumstance...

He opened the folder, and sifted through the contents. It seemed to be only handwritten notes from clients on pieces of flimsy paper, but between two of the notes was a very small piece of paper from a notepad. The top of the paper said in purple letters, "Barr Legal Offices, Richard Barr" and was clearly for writing memos, messages or reminders. In black pen, "Sammy's Bar, 3:00, don't forget!" was scrawled. The paper must have gotten caught up in the scramble to shove the letters into the folder from Richard's desktop.

Jacen slipped the piece of paper in his pocket, and plotted away as he retyped the trivial letters.
