Anakin was uneasy and on edge the entire trip. Soon, they landed. Yoda, Kit-Adi-Mundi, Mace Windu and Anakin walked to the ships hatch.
"We have to find Senator Amidala. She is our first priority," Mace Windu said, contemplating. Anakin closed his eyes thoughtfully.
"She's in a detention cell on the main level," Anakin said after being in a trace-like state. Yoda concentrated hard, and nodded.
"The padawan is

"I'll go find her," Anakin said, starting
in the direction the Force was guiding him.
"Very well. You
two," Kit-Adi-Mundi said, pointing to two stormtroopers. "Go
with him."
Anakin rolled his eyes unnoticably and started out of the hanger.
General Grevious entered the cell Padmé was being held in. She gave him a cold look as she walked over, pulling her gag down.
"Let me go. You will be arrested for kidnapping a senator," Padmé said, fear rising in her voice.
"I would be careful of what I say. Your Jedi's life is at stake," Grevious' electronic voice bellowed.
"You will not lay a hand on Anakin--" Padmé started, but Grevious didn't let her say anymore, his cold metal hand slapping her face hard. Padmé let out a shrill shreek, whincing noticably. She felt a tear form in the corner of her eyes, but did not let it fall.
"What makes you think you can tell me what to do!" Grevious said, his red eyes burning into hers. With that, he left the room, pressing a button on the keypad after securing the door. Lethal gas started pouring into the room.
The fear was noticable and clear now in Padmé's eyes. She didn't know what to do, slowly slipping out of conciousness...
