Ah, yet another short chapter but then again I am busy and reviews don't pour in. Lol, ok, I am being a pest. Its almost over so don't think that this will drag on forever. Trust me; the next chapter will be what everyone is waiting for.

Lol, as for Anakin... yeah I have to admit that he is weird about this whole Padme stuff. Hey, i was dbating with my friends and we have come to a conclusion! LIL ANNIE KILLED PADME! Honestly, I don't think she would have died if he didn't turn to the darkside. She lost the will to live because of him... though that is kind of dumb. Did she not have a will to live for her kids? Kinda messed. Then again, if it was left to reality... there wouldn't be a 4 5 and 6. Oh well!C'est a vie!

Gin stared from his spot on the balcony. It was where he stayed when he was in Coruscant but the address was never given out. Although it had a marvelous view of the setting sun, he was not interested.

Never had he thought that this day would come when the Jedi would be no more. Still, inside he did not have completion. How could this be? He felt nothing for no one… he despised all Jedi! Yes, he had left on his own accord but he always kept a sour outlook on life. This was supposed to be a happy day. Not even the soft hand upon his shoulder could sooth his essence.

The woman beside him was adorned in vibrant colors of pastel blues and greens. As she lifted her head, her black hair clashed against her pale skin. "Gin… you seem distant. This sight doesn't please you as you thought?"

"What would it matter to you?"

"Do you always forget about why you left? The Jedi cut you down and humiliated you; deeming you among the 'Grey Jedi'. This is your moment of glory." She sighed, coming up behind him and wrapping her arms about his waist. "Oh, my dear cold Lord, can a candle flame melt away the ice of your heart. Do you regret?"

"I do not regret. Much preparation has been done in order to get this far. I revel in this day. This day is a day that will be remembered!"

A wicked smile washed over her face. She turned him around and ran her hands over his chest. "Then cast away your sour face and be the cold bounty hunter that I freely surrender to. The bed is warm… but not enough to melt you…shall you join me?"

Without another word, Gin grasped her face within his hands. He pressed his lips to hers in a fit of passion. It was always funny how this little slave trader could flame his desires. The way her hand traced along his abdomen sent his mind swirling with all sorts of sinful ideas.

He pulled her closer to him, his hand slowly lifting up her silk night dress. A gasp escaped her when he ventured between her thighs. She wrapped her left leg around him only to halt. Her eyes fluttered open. "What was that noise?"

Gin released her and took a step closer to the balcony door. He gazed into the bed room with his senses flaring wildly. The noise of the apartment door had captured his attention as well, but he could sense more then her.

His eyes narrowed when he had caught glimpse of Anakin Skywalker… ah, no the newly christened Darth Vader. Gin could have laughed at the fool. He was a pawn in the Chancellor's plan to take over the galaxy. At least Gin was paid for his service. "You make barging in people's apartments a habit?"

Vader gazed to the woman in the bed room door way. She gave an evil glare toward him then closed the door behind her. The Dark Lord was solemn. "I hope I am not interrupting anything."

"You are so be quick with what you want. Aren't you supposed to be killing Jedi?"

"All the Jedi in the temple are dead."

"Very good job, you're a fine puppet for Darth Sideous."

Vader held his tongue though his inner fire was burning. He wanted to slice off Gin's head here and now but he knew he couldn't. Even though Sideous had no present use for this man, he didn't want him dead. It was good to have friends who shared your same thought. "I am on my way to the Mustafa system but I was given a recent assignment."

"Oh?"

"Your pay has been forwarded but Lord Sideous has another offer for you." He paused to see if Gin would add. When there was no answer, he continued. "He is willing to pay you for hunting down remaining Jedi through out the galaxy. None must be left alive."

Gin grinned. "Why doesn't he just have you do it? You're his lackey right? Oh sorry, apprentice? You left one system just to wind up in a similar one. The only difference is, is that one claims to better then the last."

"Take it or leave it."

"And if I don't, will you kill me Lord Vader? I highly doubt it." He watched Vader's eyes grow in hatred. No doubt many were slain by this man but Gin was still not fearful. "I will take his offer, though not tonight. I am much too tired. Now leave me, go and do your business."

The young Lord was far from thrilled at this moment. He clenched his fist and turned on his heel.

Gin smirked. "You want to kill me? I can feel it."

Vader halted in his steps, his pores oozing with anger. "Not today."

"In the future then, young apprentice. I will wait with much anticipation."

"Be careful Bounty Hunter, my chain can only be yanked so far."

"Yes, especially when it is yanked by a psycho."

With a final huff, Darth Vader's presence was blocked out with the sliding of the door. Gin contemplated what the future would bring. More pain meant more money. He frowned. "Zamora…"

The woman came back into the room. She wasn't happy. This was supposed to be a 'good time' for the both of them. Tossing her head back, she leaned against the wall. "What did the little whack job want?"

"He gave an offer I couldn't refuse."

"Being a lackey?"

Gin locked his eyes with the door in front of him. The chrome emitted a shine that he couldn't ignore. "Far better…" He smiled. "Let the hunt begin."
