-Hey everybody! Which is probably nobody, since I'm new at this. Well, anyway, I'm updating quickly and I hope you enjoy this fic, as the plot thickens! Man, I love the sound of that! Read on, review after! If anyone's there-SF12

Teron was questioned as soon as he stepped out of Leia's office.

"Where to now, Master?" Besko asked.

Teron grinned. Sometimes his Padawan reminded him of his own apprenticeship. Though they looked nothing alike, Teron being a blonde and Besko having hair as dark as night, the curiosity of being an apprentice and rarely knowing exactly what was going on was well-remembered by Teron.

"Well, someone is obviously targeting the Seers, so I'm guessing the bounty hunter killed not only Hiar, but Cobral as well. There will be a connection, Padawan." Teron said pulling out his comlink and punching in a code. The voice of Raia Micol, the Jedi archivist, came over the device.

"Teron? That you?"

"Yes, Raia. I'm looking for information on a bounty hunter. Male, Teevan, medium height, and uses two repeaters."

"Not much to go on. But I'll give it a shot." The link cut off.

"And now, It's time to focus on the other murder. Follow me." Teron walked in the direction of a lift tube, noting that led to the offices of the Senator of Frego, and stepped inside, followed closely by Besko.

Several large droids were lifting furniture and moving them out a private lift. A Bothan Senatorial aide was ordering them this way and that, pausing when he saw the Jedi. Ordering the droids to a halt, he stepped toward the pair.

" Ahem! What can I help you with, Master…"

"Kenobi. This is my apprentice, Besko. And you are?"

The Bothan coughed importantly. "Harrumph. I'm Cid Dorvan. I was Senator Cobral's aide and the Senate designated me to oversee the clearing of her office for the replacement. Until a replacement is found, I'm in charge of Frego's Senatorial affairs."

Teron winked at his Padawan, and asked the aide "We're looking for clues on Senator Cobral's murder. Did anyone witness it?"

"No. She was just found dead the day after a senate meeting."

"And the autopsy?"

Dorvan bristled pompously. "That's classified information! How do I know you're legitimate? No, no, no!"

Teron rolled his eyes impatiently, then focused the Force on Dorvan's small mind, and waved a hand in the air. "We are legitimate."

"You are legitimate." Dorvan responded tonelessly.

"You will tell us about the autopsy."

"I'll just tell you about the autopsy. The experts say Senator Cobral died of blaster fire, and judging by the number of wounds, repeaters."

Yep, that was it. Either repeaters were in bounty hunter style now, or the murders were linked. Besko turned to leave, but his Master had one more sabbac card to play. He turned back to the dazed Dorvan.

"You will spend the rest of the day contemplating that your ego is huge and needs to be shrunk."

The Jedi left then, not waiting for an answer.

Taking the lift down to the exit, Teron's comlink signaled. Switching it on, he heard Raia's voice.

"Couldn't find much, Teron. No one knows who this guy is, but he wreaks havoc all over the galaxy, though mainly around the Core Worlds. He goes after everybody, Senators, crime lords… you name it. Nothing else, I'm sorry."

Teron thanked her and begin to ponder his options. The hunter was his only lead, he didn't know what else to…or did he. But, he should test if the Padawan was keeping up.

"Besko? Where do you think we should go next?"

Taken aback, Besko searched his brain for what little he knew about the Seers. Hmm. They really had done all they could so far… then it hit him.

"Bel Iblis!" he exclaimed.

Teron smiled at his apprentice's intelligence. Next stop, the residence of Garm Bel Iblis, founder and president of the Seers, former Corellian Senator…and Rebellion leader.

-Okay, so it was shorter than the other one. The first chapter was kind of long for my standards, so the rest will be shorter. Except for maybe the last one. Alright, Kowakian Monkey Lizards, review!-SF12
