First of all: Sorry! I've been doing stuff and watching cricket so I haven't written in ages.

DarthLady14: Thanks! And I hope Bria doesn't ruin it for Han and Leia either, but you never know!

GreatOne: Nice one Roadrunner. And she is so totally faking to get attention.

Lady Echo: Han has brains. But then again he is male. We will just have to see whether or not he is blinded by stupid shiny-teeth-blue-eyeshadow-wearing-creepetes (Bria).

KrazywithaK: Strong feelings there from you! Yeah I LOATHE her to. And Han would never believe the Princess capable of that threat because he knows how self righteous she is. I mean, it's pretty hypocritical to be all fighting against evil and at the same time sending out death threats (Huh, Bria?)

Yeah, this plot probably will backfire. However, others might not. OO!

Totally fearing your wrath by the way.

hanrox (yeah he does don't he?) Yeah Leia might be feeling betrayed. But she definitely will before this chapter is through!

Pitdroid: Han is a nice man (We all know how Leia feels about 'nice men').

Your right, he doesn't owe Bria anything. But remember once upon a time he did love her. He may feels he owes her friendship at least.

DarthShanni: Yeah, you think you hate her now. But you will hate her so much more by the end. I promise. He He! I loved writing that letter! She is so evil! And very scary. She's like Paris Hilton scary. (Paris Hilton terrifies me. Is she real? Is she a Fem-bot? Does she ever eat?)

Cheers everyone!

Chapter 9

'I wouldn't have screamed.' said Wes.

'What?' asked Wedge.

The two men were sat in the mess area of the Rebel base. They had been talking about the death threat that Commander Tharen had received that morning. That was what the whole base was talking about.

Well, one half of the base (the male half) was talking about the death threat. The other, female, half were talking about the Commander throwing herself at Han Solo. Not that any of the women were jealous. Perish the thought.

'I'm just saying', said Wes, through a mouthful of blue yoghurt, 'that I wouldn't have screamed if I had received that note thing.'

'That 'note thing' threatened to kill her.' said Wedge.

'Yeah, but it wasn't that graphic was it? It didn't say 'I'm going to slice your nose of and throw it at the brass' did it? And it wasn't like she woke up with a tauntaun's head on her pillow.' Wes explained.

'Tauntaun's head on her pillow?' asked Wedge.

'Saw it in a film.' replied Wes, slightly sheepishly.

Wedge shook his head, but at the same time realised that his friend had struck a chord of recognition in his mind.

Yes, it was shocking to receive a death threat. There was no denying that. But there was nothing in the threat that would make a grown woman scream. And Bria wasn't just any woman. She was a commander of the Rebellion. She had people shooting at her everyday.

Anyone would have expected her just to laugh and throw the note away. And even if she was freaked out by it, it was no reason to scream continuously like she had done.

The whole situation seemed very, very odd.

'Hmm.' said Wedge.

Hobbie plonked himself down next to Wes. He had gone to get some kaffe.

He looked down at the grey, weak looking liquid and felt slightly disillusioned. He couldn't help thinking that the Imps probably had decent cups of Kaffe. Perhaps they even had one of those machines that shakes the milk up and makes it all frothy and chocolate shakers to sprinkle on top of their drinks and they might even have biscotti. Gods it was ages since Hobbie had eaten decent biscotti.

'Hobbs, are you alright mate?' asked Wedge. His friend appeared to have gone into a sort of trance thing. He was also drooling a bit. It wasn't very attractive.

'Huh? Oh yeah, I'm fine.' Wedge had interrupted Hobbie's small fantasy about chocolate cake. Mmmmmmmm……. chocolate cake.

'Anyway,' said Wedge, 'what do you think about this whole death threat thing?

'I don't know', answered Hobbie, 'I think there is something weird going on. I mean who was that guy mentioned in the letter? You know, that 'he' bloke?'

'Dunno, but it might have something to do with Han.' said Wedge. They had all seen Han Solo carrying a sobbing Commander Tharen back to the Falcon. She had been clinging to him like an upset child. He was holding her loosely, like he didn't want to get too close to her.

'They used to go out.' said Wes.

'What?' asked Hobbie and Wedge in unison. This was news to them.

'Yeah, Luke told me. Han had told him that Bria had double crossed him. Han said that he had thought she was dead for the last couple of weeks. A bounty hunter had told him that she had been killed on that mission to retrieve the Death Star plans, when actually, she was the only one that survived.' summed up Wes. He felt quite happy that he knew something his friends didn't.

'Well, that puts a whole new spin on things, doesn't it?' said Wedge.

'How do you mean?' asked Hobbie.

'Well if we can find out who knew about Han and Bria and what happened between them, then we can found out who wrote that threat.' replied Wedge, the excitement rising in his voice.

'YEAH!' agreed Wes. He was excited as well. He had always wanted to solve mysteries.

'Hold on, Crockett and Tubbs', said Hobbie, holding his hand up, 'the Brass are already investigating the incident. They don't need us messing it up for them.'

'Oh come on Hobbs, don't be boring!' said Wedge.

'Yeah, come on Hobbie! You know all those detectives always get the girls!' said Wes.

'We aren't detectives and you have a one track mind.' said Hobbie grumpily.

'Come on, it'll be brilliant! I can make badges out of tin foil and we can burst into people's quarters and yell 'We're here on official business!' and we can confiscate their biscuits while we look for clues!' said Wes describing a fantastic future as the three musketeers of crime fighting.

'Oh, alright then.' said Hobbie giving in. After all he did like biscuits

'What the Hell did you do that for?' Han asked. He was furious. How dare she try and do this to him. Again! What was it with this woman? Was she mental?

'Um… well… I thought it was what you wanted?' said Bria. She was genuinely taken aback. She thought he would have been happy about them. It looked like he might need some more convincing.

Han turned and left the crew quarters. He was just so disgusted with her.

For a moment Han thought he had heard footsteps on the ramp of the ship. There was no one there though. He must be losing his mind. He went to the cock pit of his ship, locked the door and sat in his chair. Perhaps he could find some repairs to do.

Leia ran across the hangar. She had gone to the Falcon to see if Bria was alright. When she got to the crew quarters she had seen Han and Bria kissing. Well she wasn't about to hang about and see if they noticed her.

Leia felt very confused. Was Han going to get back together with Bria? What about Ylesia? Why did she care anyway?
