Chapter Two
Ten years
Is a long time Anakin
"Our presence here will be invisible my lady I assure you," said Obi-wan as he sat down.
"I don't want more security I want answers. I want to know who is trying to kill me," said the senator.
Anakin winced as he got an elbow in the ribs by his brother, and said, "We are here to protect you my lady, no harm will come to you," said Anakin not knowing why his twin had elbowed him.
That was not exactly what Luke had had in mind.
"We will find out who is trying to kill you Padme-I promise you," Luke said making Anakin stare at him.
"We will not over power our mission my young Padawan learner," said Obi-wan staring at Luke.
"He meant in the interest of protecting her master of course," said Anakin trying to help his brother.
"We will not go through this exercise again Anakin," said Obi-wan.
"Me! I was just-," Anakin began.
"I don't want to hear it Anakin, you and Luke will learn to follow my lead," said Obi-wan.
"Why?" asked Luke.
"What?" asked Obi-wan looking at Luke with surprise.
"Why do you think we were sent here if not to find the killer?" Luke asked rephrasing his question.
"Luke has a point master. Protection is a job for local security not jedi." said Anakin, for his brother did have a point.
"Yes, it is over kill master, investigation is involved in our man-day," said Luke.
"We will do exactly as the council has instructed," said Obi-wan starring at his young padawan's and adding, "And you will learn your place young ones."
"Maybe with your presence here the person behind these attacks will be revealed," said Padme standing and saying, "Now if you'll excuse me-I will retire."
Obi-wan stood, Anakin and Luke quickly followed. As the senator left the room Jar-Jar Binks came up to Luke and Anakin.
"Mesa bursting with happiness seeing you again Luke and Ani," said Jar-Jar.
"It's good you see you too Jar-Jar," said Luke. Anakin was looking in a different direction.
"Ani?" said Jar-Jar again.
Anakin sighed and said, "She hardly even recognized me Jar-Jar, I've thought about her every day since we've parted and-and she's forgotten me completely."
"Shes a happy, happier then mesa seen her in a long, long time," said Jar-Jar as Obi-wan came up to stand by him.
"You are focusing on the negative Anakin be mindful of your thoughts. Ten years is a long time Anakin. But trust me, she was pleased to see us, now let's check security," said Obi-wan.
Anakin and Luke walked up to check the cameras around the room while Obi-wan went to check on the guards. They were all in for a long night.
