Part 8

Mace Windu sighed as he stood in Kirana's chamber, knowing that she was not there. He couldn't explain it, but he felt deeply worried for her. Kirana's dream returned to his mind. The night after she had informed him of her dream, Mace Windu had gone straight to Yoda. To his dismay, Yoda did not know what it meant any better than he did. What had surprised him was that the man in Kirana's dream appeared to be the same man who had attacked Qui Gon Jinn, from her description.

"Worried, you are. Think of Kirana, you do," said Yoda as he slowly walked into the room.

Mace Windu looked at the great Jedi Master who stood before him. "Yes, Master Yoda. I cannot explain it. She is so young, only twenty years of age. She still has much to learn."

"Young she is. Careless, she is not. Thinking of her dream, you are," said Yoda.

"I don't know if her dream is anything important. But it is rather peculiar that she dreamt of Qui-Gon's attacker. There's a possiblity that he could be a Sith. But my question is: Why is she dreaming this? She told me she dies in her dream and the last face she sees was Obi-Wan's."

"Cares for Obi-Wan, she does. Seen, I have. Certain of their fate, I am not," said Yoda as he looked at Mace Windu.

Mace Windu frowned. He closed his eyes, trying to picture where she was. He called out to the force. Then, he could see her. She was on Tatooine with Obi-Wan in a small sand-caked hut. She appeared to be all right. But something was wrong. Mace Windu could feel it. There was danger approaching, slowly but steadily. He tried to warn her through the force. Kirana, be careful, there is danger approaching, my young padawan. Take caution.

Hluib watched in surprise as the young man and women left him alone. He narrowed his eyes. Fool! he thought. They had really thought a Hutt would fall for a Jedi mind trick. We are not weak-minded. So, they are both Jedi Knights. How interesting. Come for parts? I think not. Whenever the Jedi come, they always have more in mind. He wanted to see what the Jedi were up to, but he had to take caution. Hluib knew what the Jedi were capable of if threatened. He briefly considered asking Jabba's permission, but then he brushed it aside. He wanted to surprise him and maybe he would get an award! Hluib smiled greedily as he slithered towards Watto's workshop.

Obi-Wan stepped inside the dingy mud and sand hut that was packed with rocket and engine parts salvaged from junkyards and scrapped wrecks. A pudgy blue Toydarian approached the two customers. His tiny wings were a blur of motion, flapping so quickly that they could hardly be seen. With his trunk-like nose and lopsided grin, Obi-Wan couldn't help but smile at the strange looking creature. He looked at Kirana, to see that she was equally amused as he was.

"Hi chubba da nago?" said Watto, demanding to know their business.

"We have a message for you," said Obi-Wan as he removed a round looking device from his tunic and pressed a button. Instantly, the hologram of Qui- Gon Jinn came to life.

Watto frowned as he recognized the man. The man who had claimed to be a farmer and to whom he had lost a bet.

"Greetings, Watto. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Qui-Gon Jinn, Jedi Knight. You have met me before. I freed young Anakin Skywalker. Now, I request that his mother, Shmi Skywalker, be freed. In return, I will give you 5000 credits which should be enough for you, my friend." the hologram ended.

Kirana watched Watto, taking in his facial expressions. He looks annoyed, to me. But suddenly, she felt something. Someone was calling her through the force. She concentrated deeply. It was Master Windu. He's warning me, danger is approaching. She looked around everywhere. Master Windu says I should be careful. But I have not sensed any danger. What does he see?

Kirana did not know, but she decided to keep a better watch out. She walked towards the enterance of the shop and scanned the area. Then she saw it. A giant Hutt was comming towards their way, unmistakably towards Watto's shop. Oh no. It's that same Hutt we encountered. Wait a minute, Obi did that Jedi mind trick. Didn't it work? But then she remembered. Wait a minute, Hutts cannot be influenced by the force, they are deaf to it. I can't believe I forgot that! Now that slimy thing is coming closer. I knew it was too good to be true to get past him like that.

Watto frowned. He felt upset and angry. Once again that Jedi wants something. But now, Watto felt afraid too. Now that he knew this man was not a farmer but a Jedi, he was worried. What would happen if he refused to make a deal? Would the Jedi become upset? Watto looked at the customers. They might be Jedi Knights too. Watto decided he might as well make the deal. Besides, 5000 credits is not that bad for a slave. He thought it was the best thing to do. He did not want any trouble. But before he could open his mouth, the girl ran towards him and Obi-Wan.

"Obi! That Hutt is coming our way. We forgot that the Jedi mind tricks don't work on a Hutt. What should we do? If he finds out we're trying to free a slave, he might not let us," said Kirana.

Obi-Wan couldn't believe it. How foolish I was not to remember that information. Oh well, no matter. "We must stay calm, Kirana. We'll just have to try and think of a way to handle this Hutt."

Watto became angry. "See what you have done now? You Jedi have always been trouble. Now that Hutt will come here in my shop!" Watto frantically moved around the store.

"You foolish Jedi!" bellowed Hluib as his face appeared at the door. Due to his size, the large Hutt was unable to come inside.

"What is the matter, Hluib?" asked Obi-Wan.

Hluib smirked. "You think you can wave your hand around like that, trying to fool me! It has not worked, Jedi. What are you really here for?"

Kirana spoke. "We have already told you. Why must you bother us again?" she asked with a touch of annoyance in her voice.

"Look, this girl disrespects me! I will bother you as much as I'd like," the Hutt growled, as he tried to get into the shop.

Watto was terrified. His store had started shaking and he knew it would collapse under the Hutt's weight. He did not want his store to be destroyed!

"Please, Hluib. They are right. They have come here to get parts for their ship. Now, please leave or I go to the Great Jabba the Hutt and tell him you have bothered me!" said Watto.

Hluib stopped moving. He knew it was pointless to try to get the Jedi. If he did go any further, Watto would surely tell Jabba, who wouldn't be too pleased. He made a face. "You may have escaped this time Jedi, but I will be watching you next time!" With that, the giant Hutt left.

Watto watched him go and then turned around. "Ah....you see what you have done? That Hutt would have destroyed my store, because of you!"

Kirana smiled. "We are sorry about the trouble we have caused."

Obi-Wan grinned. "So, do we have a deal?"

"I guess so, but after this, I never want you to come back!" said Watto angrily.

"Don't worry. I assure you this will be the last time." said Obi-Wan.

"Well, I'm glad that's over!" said Kirana as she and Obi-Wan made their way towards the slave quarters.

"Yes,I know what you mean," replied Obi-Wan.

The two Jedi made their way carefully towards Shmi's hut by looking at the directions on the piece of paper Watto had given him. Suddenly, Kirana stopped. She felt something. A wave of darkness, like a ripple in the force. She looked ahead of her and saw Shmi's hut. The door was wide open. Something was wrong.

"What is it Kirana?" asked Obi-Wan.

"There - there's something out there Obi. I felt it. Danger is lurking somewhere near," said Kirana as she looked all around her.

Obi-Wan frowned. "I haven't felt anything. Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure." she said looking at Obi-Wan.

Obi-Wan tried to concentrate when he felt a dark presence nearby. The same feeling he had felt when he and Qui-Gon had fought against their attacker. There was a disturbance in the force, just like Qui-Gon had warned them.

"Wait, I have felt it too. We must take precaution. Come." he said as he led the way towards the hut. He stepped inside, scanning the area. "Hello?" he called out.

Then, something hit the floor behind them.
