Earlier the same morning Jacen found the note, Tenel Ka arrived in the Barr office. She sat down at her desk to survey the contents of her 'In' box. Lavada entered the office soon after, her blonde hair bouncing annoyingly. "Good morning!"

Tenel Ka nodded in Lavada's general direction. She then remembered that she was playing 'Liana' and said, "Good morning to you, too."

About ten minutes later, the secretaries had busied themselves with typing and sorting mail. Suddenly, Richard Barr burst out of his office into the lobby where the two secretaries' desks were located. "Have you seen a small piece of purple paper? With a reminder on it?"

Tenel Ka looked at Lavada and both women shook their heads 'no'. Richard didn't talk to them often, and when he did, it was usually franticly, as he was awfully unorganized. Barr cursed under his breath and retreated into his office quickly.

Lavada shook her head sorrowfully, "Poor man, so awfully unorganized."

For another hour or so, the two women sat typing away and answering calls for the Barr lawyers. Around lunchtime, Jacen entered the office.

"Good afternoon, ladies." He wore his fake glasses resting on his head, as if he needed them only for typing.

Lavada giggled and responded, "Hi, Gavin." She flipped her blonde hair over her shoulder flirtingly. It was all Tenel Ka could do not to roll her eyes.

"Would you like to join me for lunch?" The two women grabbed their bags, and they all headed down to the first floor to a small Corellian restaurant.

After they sat down and got their food, Lavada said, "You know, I was looking through my holomags last night, and I came across something very interesting."

"Really? What's that?" Jacen spoke around his mouthful of meat.

"You two look uncannily similar to the Princess of Hapes and Jacen Solo."

Jacen promptly choked on his mouthful of meat in surprise, but Tenel Ka was quicker, saying, "Really? How flattering!" Jacen felt her high heel crush his toe under the table, which only added to the choking in his throat. Perhaps Lavada was not as slow-witted as he originally thought.

"Gavin...are you okay?" Lavada looked genuinely concerned, and thumped his back consolingly.

"Fine," Jacen croaked out between racking coughs. "Just...fine." He pushed his glasses up his nose, and said, "Well, Lavada, you bear a striking resemblance to Sana Uzuri, has anyone told you that?" Sana was a famous singer on Coruscant, but her resemblance to Liana was slight.

Lavada gave her trademark giggle and continued with her salad, saying, "Well no! Thank you!"

After lunch, Tenel Ka and Liana were in the elevator alone with the attendant, when Lavada said, "Liana, isn't he the greatest? He was looking at you practically the whole lunch! I just know he'll ask you on a date. I just know these things, I'm very observant..."

Tenel Ka let Lavada ramble on, smiling and nodding her head excitedly. She really had nothing to say, and as Mara had said, an office romance would definitely aid the sneaking around associated with the mission at hand.

When they sat down at their desks, Tenel Ka glanced at her desktop computer console and noticed that she had an inter-building piece of mail. She quickly glanced at Lavada to make sure she wasn't watching too closely, and clicked on the icon to read the mail. The blonde woman continued to apply layers of red lipstick, gazing in a small mirror.

Liana-

I really enjoyed lunch today, meet me at Sammy's Bar around 300 for a date? Hope to see you there.

Gavin Jan

Lavada suddenly appeared, reading the mail over her coworker's shoulder. "I knew it! Didn't I tell you he would ask you on a date? Are you going to go? You have to go!"

"Well of course I'm going, he was very nice, wasn't he?" Tenel Ka twirled around in her chair to face Lavada, who she was finding more uncannily observant by the minute.

"Not hard on the eyes, either. Don't you think he looks like Jacen Solo?" Lavada went back to her own desk and sat down.

"He does, a little."

Jacen sat in a secluded booth at Sammy's Bar, a particularly seedy restaurant in one of the middle-lower levels of the city not far from the Imperial Corporate Building. He had gotten a strange Force-sense from the note, and it told him that this meeting was important evidence. From his seat, he saw Tenel Ka arrive at the bar through the front door, purse in prosthetic hand. Jacen noticed she had become quite proficient with the new limb, but every time they got back to the palace, she took it off as soon as possible. He imagined that by this time, it must feel like having a third arm to a person with only two. He reached out to her in the Force and got her attention.

She spotted him and sat down across from him in the booth. She said, "What is happening?"

Jacen filled her in on the happenings of the day, and his suspicions about the note. It was only 230, so the only thing left to do was wait for Richard Barr to arrive.
