The human bounty hunter Romin was surrounded by three guards, he watched the woman as she entered the room and sat in front of him her eyes glinting.

"I must say Ais, I'm a bit surprised to see you, it's been a while."

Aislle looked at him and smiled, "It's just business Romin, a mutual benefit to us both."

He nodded and two of the guards stepped away, the woman watched them leave, and Romin regarded her. He'd always thought she'd been a tough nut to crack but knew that her eyes showed everything and there was something she wasn't telling him.

"So what brings you back to my lovely abode?" he asked stretching out and accepting the food that a young twi'lek girl offered him. Aislle watched this display an eyebrow raised.

"What's wrong Romin, can't feed yourself nowdays?"

He did not even flinch he was used to her snide remarks and knew she was only stalling for time, calculating whether she should give up her information or not. He just raised an eyebrow questioningly and smiled.

"I hear there is a bounty out on Jedi," she said, a twinkle in her eye and he nodded wondering where this was going.

"I also hear there is one on this planet right now."

"And if there is?"

"I want in on the deal, I want to see that sniveling quarren that Goto has working for him seeing as he won't show himself."

Romin laughed,

"What makes you think that I can get you an audience?"

She leant forward and smiled conspiritorially.

"Because I have a Jedi…"

She left the apartment with an arranged meeting to see the Exchange boss' lackey. The mask of the person she once had become slipped away and she was once again Ellsia.

"That didn't take long," said Disciple as they headed back to the Hawk.

"Well the meeting went better then I expected, I have news that I think Caitlyn might want to hear, we should get back and wait for them at the ship."

As they arrived so did Atton and the Exile, he was arguing furiously while she looked calm if a little annoyed.

"What's going on?"

"Oh nothing, except the fact that our wonderful leader here just agreed to dance for that fat slimy slug Vogga."

Instead of being disapproving Ellsia laughed.

"What's so funny?" asked Caitlyn now showing her annoyance.

"You, dance?"

"What's your point?" she asked a little huffily.

"Look no offence General but you are a bit-uptight, do you know what you'll have to wear?"

Caitlyn blushed furiously and showed her the garment, Ellsia nodded,

"Yeah, that's what I thought."

She grabbed the woman by the arm and dragged her into the ship, heading for the rooms.

She eyed her critically and watched as the woman put it on.

She almost laughed again when she saw how uncomfortable she looked in it, she tried crossing her arms and hiding the enormous amount of flesh that was showing.

"First, don't do that, if your not confident in yourself then it'll be spotted straight away and you won't even get in. Stand straight with your head high, let it all hang out."

Caitlyn blushed again, "I feel ridiculous," she murmered and Ellsia rolled her eyes.

"Hey, you got yourself into this I'll just try to help you the best I can."

A thought then occurred to her, "Can you dance?"

"Of course!"

"Show me."

After a few steps Ellsia stopped her, fighting to keep the smile from her face.

"Ok, I'll try to say this as nicely as possible…You have the grace of a Bantha giving birth."

Caitlyn was not happy.

"Seriously, in battle it comes naturally to you but your too self conscious…think of a fighting style and try it, without the weapon of course."

The Exile closed her eyes and performed a quick Echani style attack, Ellsia nodded.

"Good, but try to slow it down a bit."

After about a half an hour Ellsia was satisfied Caitlyn was ready, the woman looked at her suspiciously.

"What?"

"How is it that you know so much about-this type of dancing?"

Ellsia grinned wickedly,

"That's for me to know and you never to find out, now go."

They walked out of the room and Atton's jaw practically hit the ground, Caitlyn blushed again but held her head high.

"You guys go ahead," she said as Atton, Caitlyn and Disciple headed for the docks, "I have a few more inquiries to make then I'll meet you back here."

Caitlyn nodded and Ellsia headed towards the droid manufacturer.

When she arrived back at the Hawk an hour later she found Caitlyn dressed in her normal robes and Atton watching her with a glint in his eye.

"How did it go?"

Caitlyn smiled and explained everything, "And if we stop Goto Vogga said he'd supply Telos with the fuel it needs."

Ellsia nodded, "Good because I have a plan and a way of reaching Goto."

After telling her story the Exile frowned, "Did you have to tell him you had a Jedi with you?" she asked.

"Of course, there's no way I would have been able to see him if I didn't have proof, they'll be having me watched so I had to give them the slip. Besides, this way it saves us a lot of unnecessary ground work."

Bao-Dur was frowning, "I don't like it, it's too dangerous for you to go alone."

She touched his arm and he looked at her, "I must, if they suspect then I definitely will be in danger. I will need something though, a communications device so that you guys can hear me but not something as obvious as a comlink."

The Iridonian perked up at the idea, "I'm sure I could come up with something, give me an hour, two at tops."

He quickly headed back into the ship to see what he could find to create or modify.

"Bao-Dur is right, it is quite dangerous."

Disciple continued her friends arguement.

"You are right," she nodded and smiled wickedly, "But I have thing on my side that they don't."

"And what is that?"

"The Force."

Authors note: Ooh, some of Ellsia's dark past is being revealed, btw Aislle is just Ellsia spelt backwards, she changed it for her new life.
