Anakin stands in the middle of the living room with his eyes closed, his hands folded and a serene look on his face. Suddenly his eyes pop open and he turns to see Obi-Wan walk through the door. Laura stand and the two bow in greeting to the master.

"Captain Typho has more than enough men downstairs. No assassin will try that way. Any activity up here?"

Anakin shakes his head slowly, "Quiet as a tomb. I don't like just waiting here for something to happen to her."

Obi-Wan pulls a palm sized viewer from his utility belt.

"Don't bother she covered the cameras. I don't think she like Anakin watching her." Laura tried not to smirk.

"What was she thinking?" While he was a Jedi, even Obi-Wan had his moments of frustration.

"She's programmed Artoo to warn us if there's an intruder." Anakin stated coolly.

"We just need to be careful if you are planning to use her as bait Anakin" Laura said softly, her head bowed.

"It was her idea… Don't' worry, no harm will come to her. I can sense everything going on in that room. Trust me." The pride in Anakin's voice was obvious.

"It's too risky… besides, your senses aren't that attuned, young apprentice," Obi-Wan corrected. Anakin took that moment to attack.

"And yours are?" the smugness reentered Anakin's voice.

Obi-Wan thought for a moment then answered honestly, "Possibly."

Anakin walks slowly to the balcony, his eyes drooping slightly with weariness.

"You look tired" the master murmured.

"I don't sleep well anymore," the reply was short but not harsh.

"Because of your mother?" Obi-Wan's head tipped to the side, his voice calm and supportive. Anakin's head drops slightly but then turns quickly to where Laura stands. He only nods and the conversation stops. The two men give each other meaningful looks and Obi-Wan sighs.

"Be mindful of your thoughts Anakin, they betray you. You've made a commitment to the Jedi Order… a commitment not easily broken…. And don't forget, she's a politician. They're not to be trusted."

"Politicians are as skilled as actors, they can tell you one thing an mean another. I would not doubt even Chancellor Palpatine has had to do that once or twice in his career," Laura reasoned from the main room.

"He does not appear to be corrupt," Anakin returned.

"Yes but everything can be true from a certain point of view," Obi-Wan cut in.

"I think he is a good man. My instincts are very positive about…" Anakin broke off. Within the force there was what seemed to Laura to be an alarm going off from Senator Amidala's room

Both padawan's turned to Obi-Wan, "I sense it, too. " And all three headed to the door.
