Chapter 5: On Route

Aboard the Ebon Hawk

While Go-To's men loaded stuff onto the ship, Dustil went to find Griff and Mission to tell them what was going on. He found them in the cockpit talking and playing a game of pazaak.

Mission looked up at Dustil as he walked in. "Did you see Go-To?"

Dustil nodded. "He asked for us to deliver some supplies to Kessel for him. Usually a simple job for his men but it seems the Republic has been giving the Exchange a hard time."

Mission smiled. "Well, it will be easy for us. Are you going to contact Carth and let him know what we are doing just in case?"

"Yes. I will also inform Revan. I want them both to know so nobody from the Republic or the Order stops us. If we don't have any delays then this should be a quick job and you will both be safe." Dustil turned and went to go contact his father.

When Go-To's men finished loading everything onto the ship one of the men gave Dustil a data pad with the location of the mines on Kessel. He went to the cockpit and informed Mission and Griff they were ready to leave.

An hour after jumping into hyperspace Mission went into the cockpit to bring Dustil some caffa. "How's it going flyboy?"

"Good. Is that for me?"

Mission nodded and handed him the cup.

Dustil took a big drink. "Mmmm, that's good. Thank you."

"You're welcome. I think I'm going to head for bed. I'll see you later."

"Okay," Dustil said quietly as she left.

Shortly after Mission left, Griff came into the cockpit and sat down. "How's it going Dustil?"

"Good. My Father assured me that we would not be stopped by the Republic or the Jedi Council."

"That's good to hear. I want to thank you for everything you and Mission are doing for me. I never thought that the Exchange would go after Mission because of me. I promise you, and I already told Mission this, I won't ever be dealing with anyone like the Exchange ever again."

Dustil looked over at Griff. "That's good. I hope you keep that promise."

"I will. I love my sister and I don't want her hurt. When this is over I want to go back to Coronet. I like it there and Aloysius said I can keep my job at the cantina."

"We'll drop you off at Coronet then on our way to Coruscant."

Griff looked at Dustil surprised. "You're going to Coruscant?"

"Yes, I have decided to return to the Jedi Temple. I have some training to complete and I can only do it there. My family decided to move back there so Mission will be happy."

"Uh, Dustil. Mission decided to go to Kashyyyk and stay with Zalbaar".

"What?"

"I guess she never told you."

Dustil shook his head no.

"Yeah, well, she talked to Zalbaar while you were meeting with Go-To. He asked her to run the old Czerka shop for them. The Wookies understand Basic but not many people understand the Wookies. She does, so it would be a good job for her."

"Yeah, yeah it would."

The sat there in silence for awhile and then Dustil stood up. "Can you keep an eye on things up here for me. I'll be right back."

Dustil found Mission in the woman's dormitory. She was sleeping peacefully. He stood there for several minutes watching her. When Mission woke up, he was already gone.
