Chapter 7
I continued to fly around the coordinates of the planet Nerboath. I couldn't find the planet anywhere. Skye had sworn by these coordinates and I knew that they were right. They had to be. I slammed my fist against the white dashboard of the ship.
Anakin woke up quickly in his chair, almost hitting the ceiling, I swear.
"What was that about?"
"I can't find the damn planet."
"So?"
"I also haven't slept in two days."
"Why not?"
"Because you have been doing absolutely nothing and someone has to keep this thing running."
"Well, why didn't you just wake me up?"
"Because... because... well just take over now. The coordinates are programmed in so just keep the ship flying." I said, already eagerly walking towards the small bunks.
"Uh, master, I think you should wake up." Anakin cried from the cockpit.
I groaned, before trudging through the thin passages of the small space craft. The bright white blinded my eyes, making it hard to concentrate on much of anything at all, let alone the difficult task of even finding the planet Nerboath let alone the Ice Joint and Adorn Gabbet.
"What
Anakin?"
"Well, we got an invitation to land on the planet."
"What planet there's nothing there."
"Well, um, we have two options, land or they destroy our ship and kill us." Anakin shrugged. "Not too sure 'bout you, but I think we should land."
"Yeah." I nodded my head and ran my fingers through my hair, then scratched my thin beard.
After a few more transmissions, our scanners suddenly detected the planet, and we could see it.
"They must have some sort of cloaking shield." I groaned. High tech mobsters. Great. I got dressed in a long leather coat, black pants, a black tunic and put on black boots. I tucked my lightsaber on the inside of my left boot and took over the controls while Anakin got dressed. He came out in a similar outfit, but with a do-rag and sunglasses. I couldn't help but snicker.
"You look a bit ridiculous." I finally said.
"Why?"
"Lose the bandanna."
"Why?"
"Because it makes you look like an idiot!" I finally exploded.
He undid it, and then looked rather slick with the sunglasses. I carried a regular blaster pistol on the inside of my jacket just in case and Anakin carried a small pocket knife. I think it was more menacing on him.
I stood waiting for the exit ramp to unfold. I expected to see men in gangster rags with blaster rifles. Boy was I surprised.
"Welcome, Mr. Kenobi." A man in a suit with sunglasses said. They all looked the same. Men. Fairly tall. Short brown hair. Black suit. Red tie. Ear piece radios. These were very sophisticated gangsters. They were running this planet well.
"I want to see Adorn Gabbet."
"What business do you have with Adorn Gabbet?"
"Business." I said with a nod. One smiled, and so did all the rest.
"You are wise. I'm sure Boss would like you."
"I hope to see Boss eventually, but for now I would like to see Adorn Gabbet at the Ice Joint."
"You got it."
