Chapter 16, The Rescue
Grievous watched from the camera in her cell to see what would happen next. Anakin and Obi-wan stood outside Charlie's cell, "bet you anything he's got a camera on her" said Anakin.
"Most likely so." Said Obi-wan, "Are you ready?"
Anakin peeked in threw the window and jerked his head back down before he could be seen, "I saw it"
"Any chance of blocking it while we get her?" asked Obi-wan.
Anakin smiled, "Oh I can do better than that" he reached into his pocked and pulled out a little robot spider "this little friend of mine, will tap into the viewing system and Grievous will only be able to see one picture over and over again" he sat the tiny robot inside the window of the door, Grievous didn't see his hand, and Anakin watched it crawl over to the camera.
"Oh you are good," said Obi-wan smiling in amusement. Anakin smiled even wider and watched as the red light on the camera turn off, "now" he opened the cell door and they entered.
Grievous knew nothing of what was going on, because he was busy watching a repeated picture of Charlie sleeping. "Where are they?" he asked annoyed.
Anakin looked at Charlie's arms, "Umm master!"
"What is it Anakin?"
He showed him her blood covered arms and pulled back the sleeves of the prisoner clothes and showed the deep gashes.
"Oh my!" said Obi-wan as he scooped her up.
"Did you notice what she smells like?" asked Anakin going to check the hallways.
"Like vomit!" said Obi-wan.
"This is not Grievous regular ways of torture, not I'm complaining, I'm glade we didn't find her in a worse condition." Responded Anakin.
"So am I, Inca would kill us if we found her in a worse state!"
"But doesn't that seem odd," they started down the hallway, "I don't think he was going to kill her!"
"Something is telling me the same thing." Said Obi-wan.
They reached the outside and headed into the forest unnoticed. Anakin sighed, "That went well"
Grievous was still sitting there watching the image over and over again. "Where are they!" he yelled. He finally noticed in the small corner of the screen, it said not recording.
"WHAT!" he bellowed, "WHO TURNED THE CAMERA OFF!"
The droids all looked between each other… none of them had turned the camera off.
The two Jedi heard an alarm going off, "Looks like they know now" they started running back to their ship. Once they were aboard their ship, Obi-wan took Charlie to the medical room and Anakin ran and started up the ship.
Grievous stormed out of the complex and started in the direction where he found the tracks.
He arrived just in time to see their ship rocket away. "JEDI SCUM!" he yelled.
Obi-wan changed Charlie out of the nasty prison clothes, he cleaned her and then dressed her in a gray suit. He cleaned the gashes and banged them up. "There, maybe you'll be okay" said Obi-wan.
Charlie jerked awake and looked around to see where she was. "Ah you're awake," said Obi-wan. Charlie's vision was still out of focus, as she looked around the room she started up mumbling the psalm.
"What are you saying Charlie?" he asked her. Charlie stopped she knew that voice. "Charlie?" Obi-wan asked when she stopped.
She looked at him and grabbed him and hugged him. She buried her face into his chest and started to cry.
"Shh Charlie don't cry," he said.
she wiped her eyes, "i just thought that i would be trapped in that hell hole with grievous for the rest of my life. he was even going to find that crystal to keep me with him."
Obi-wan gasped remembering her power crystal and pulled it out and handed it to her.
The moment Charlie took the crystal within her hand, her entire life flashed before her eyes, showing every signal memory in a few seconds. It was over whelming, Charlie fainted into Obi-wan's arms. Obi-wan sighed and tucked her in. He finally answered Anakins's Knocking on the door.
"well?" he asked.
"i gave her her crystal, she should be fine now." Said Obi-wan.
