Searching the outskirts of the poor, small town, Siri saw a pre-teen girl walking through a narrow alleyway.
"Don't move, kid," she said, aiming a blaster at her.
The girl turned and terrified dark eyes met Siri's. She didn't care. She walked behind the girl and put the end of her blaster against the girl's back. "Put your hands behind your back."
The girl did. Siri then put binders on her and marched her to the center of town. Krayn was waiting for her by his speeder. "You only got one?" he asked.
"I'm only one person," Siri answered.
"Well, a healthy kid should get us quite a few credits. Put her in."
Siri did and the three of them sped out of town. Krayn's ship was waiting several kilometers away because there was no place to land in the town. Besides, they they wanted the element of surprise.
When they reached the ship, Krayn nearly threw the girl into the cargo hold. Siri could only stare and then started to panic.
I kidnapped some girl at blasterpoint, brought her to be sold to who-knows-who, and I didn't think anything of it. What kind of person am I becoming? I've got to get out of here before I go completely insane.
