Chapter 2: The Dark Lord's Assignment
Dark Before Dawn

Luke walked quickly down the hall, back to the bridge, back to where his father waited. Thoughts of Kelcie filled his mind. She was spirited . . .and beautiful. However, she was a JedI. The JedI had destroyed his father, they were a threat to the Empire. But Kelcie seemed so . . .innocent. He didn't like this strange . . .connection he felt with her. How could she make him so confused about everything by just looking at him?
Maybe that's why Father didn't stay with Mother. he mused as he approached his father.
"Is the JedI taken care of, my son?" Vader asked.
"Yes, father." Luke answered. "I was going to give her some time to settle down before interrogating her."
Vader didn't reply.
"Are you sure it's . . .safe, holding her and the Princess like this. She is a JedI and the Princess is a Senator."
"The Senate will soon be no longer any of our concern. The Alliance might pay a high price for their JedI. But, it is risky to let her go. She could grow powerful and present a threat. She will be one less JedI Knight we have to worry about." Vader replied.
Luke nodded, he didn't mention the strange connection he and Kelcie had, or the funny feeling he got when he was around her. What his father didn't know wouldn't hurt him.
He couldn't avoid it any longer, or his father would get suspicious. Time to interrogate the JedI.
Luke entered the cell with two gaurdsmen, hoping this would be easy. She was sitting on the cold, metal, "bed", staring at the wall. Her gaze turned to him when he entered.
"Back again, my Lord?" she asked, surprisingly calm.
She stiffened ever so slightly when there was movement outside the cell. Knowing her luck, he had probably brought an interrogater droid. But nothing entered her cell. Luke just sent the storm troopers away, and looked at her with his cold blue eyes.
Hypnosis? Kelcie wondered.
"What happened to the transmissions you intercepted?" he finaly asked.
"Vader has them, remember?" she retorted.
"The 'plans' were fake. There is nothing on that data card. Where are the transmissions?" Luke snapped.
"I don't know."
"I'm getting tired of playing these games with you." he said coldly, tipping her chin up so that she would look him in the eye. His face was only inches away from hers. "For the last time, where are the transmissions?"
"I don't know." she repeated, every word emphasized and clipped.
"Maybe I should try the senator." Luke said, smiling slightly. "She'll be much easier than a Jedi."
He turned to leave.
"No, not Leia!" Kelcie exclaimed. "Please, my Lord!"
"Then tell me where the plans for the Death Star are!" Luke yelled, the words were out of his mouth before he could stop them.
"Th-the what?" Kelcie stammered, confused.
Before Luke could say anything else, a storm trooper barged in.
"My Lord, Lord Vader requests your presence, immediately!" he reported.
Luke released his grip on Kelcie. "I'll be back later, JedI. And you better be willing to talk!"
"Good for nothing son of a sith." Kelcie muttered, rubbing her sore neck.
Luke heard her but, he didn't reply. He just walked out of the room and the door shut with a loud clang.
"Make sure she stays put. If she pitches a fit or tries the escape, do what you must. Drug her, so that she will be willing to talk when I return." Luke instructed before he left.
Please R & R! I will try to get the next chapter up soon.
