Chapter 4 Spy

As soon as Luke Skywalker's holo image appeared on the pad Rosh began to speak.

" Master, Darth Maul has a plan to attack Coruscant…" And as Rosh was going on and on with the details about this an Imperial trooper happened to walk by the room. The door was not locked or sound proofed sealed. The trooper might have just walked past had he not heard the word Jedi.

Silently he drew his blaster pistol while listening carefully to the spy's every word. As silently as he had drawn his blaster he entered, careful not to let his boots make a sound on the ferrocrete.

" What do we have here?" He asked as he pressed to barrel of his pistol to Rosh's back. He tried to turn." Don't move spy or I'll kill you right here."

" Rosh, don't tell them anything." Luke said gravely as he cut the communication.

" On the ground spy!" The troop commanded, at the moment Rosh was only armed with a blaster, which the guard (as he was very, very thoroughly searching his body) obtained.

" Stand and come with me." The trooper said. Rosh stood up and did as he was told, inwardly cursing himself for not sealing and locking the door. The trooper as he suspected led him toward Maul's throne room. When they entered he saw Tavion had left and Maul sat on his chair looking suspiciously at them as they came.

" My lord I've just caught a spy." The trooper said coolly. Maul looked up in rage.

" What! What did you tell them spy, how long have you been here?" Maul asked his eyes bright yellow and his tone as cold as the ice room he sat in. Rosh did not reply. Maul glared at him menacingly." No matter, take him to a cell while I think about what to do with him."

The guard did as he was told like a scared little puppy obeying his abusive master. Rosh was lead to his cell and throne in with great force. He was glad however to be in a cell the rebels had designed long ago instead of an Imperial cell which were so cruelly small and didn't even have a fresher.

Same Time Maul's Room

A chill ran down Maul's spine as a blue holo graphic image of his master appeared before him. This man had found him sixth months ago and had been directing his war effort even since, he had also screwed it past hell too, but regardless Maul trusted him, he had trusted him for a long time.

" Yes my apprentice what new do you have for me?" Asked the cool clear voice of Maul's master, it had been so long since he had heard it last, it was the voice of a Sith genius.

" I contact you with bad news my master." Maul said. The man's face twisted into a frown.

" What news?"

" A Jedi spy has been here."

" Impossible I would have sensed it." Maul was a little frustrated by now as you could well imagine.

" No, he was here and he has been caught." His master thought for a while, then he seemed to except it and let his feelings of pride go away.

" What do the Jedi know?"

" They know nothing of you, but they know of the plan for Coruscant." His master smiled displaying his rotted teeth.

" This could work to our advantage."

" What?"

" Use your mind lord Maul. If the Jedi know this then they know they will have a tiny interval of time to come and kill you."

" What are you saying?"

" I'm saying stay behind with that Tavion person of yours. Let one of your generals lead the fight, the Jedi will come and you must kill them."

" Why? Why would killing just one Jedi help?"

" I would know a Skywalker better than any alive. He will come himself with his wife and try to kill you."

" You want me to kill him then?"

" Of course."

" And what of the spy?"

" Dispose of him."

" How?"

" Use your imagination."

The discussion went on much longer than this, but a name was mentioned later one that you cannot hear just yet.

The next day

Rosh had not even been awake and a storm trooper and a battle droid had taken him out of his cell, he had been forced also to take off everything except his underwear, this wasn't going to be good.

He wasn't taken to Maul's room, instead he was led to the open hanger, tied up with wire and drenched with ice cold water. The guard drug his into the wasteland of Hoth. Not to far from the base though. When he found a spot of high piled snow he kicked Rosh in the stomach, picked him up and threw him in. Then he left leaving Rosh to die (with the lower half of his body submerged in snow) in the cold hell that was Hoth.
