Chapter Thirty Eight,

Meagan's point of view

I slowly awoke the next morning, feeling completely lost and alone. How could Ben have done that to me? Actually sold me to a real pirate? What was that man thinking? Why did he always choose his Jedi duty over his wife, over me? But what did I expect when I married a Jedi......

My thoughts were rudely interrupted at the deep sounding voice of the man who now owned me. "Get out of bed woman. We have work to do."

I sat up in bed as he barged into the tiny room off of his. "I'm awake."

"Get moving." He growled at me.

Sighing, I rose from bed, reaching for my bag. I pulled out some clothes and quickly changed, turning my back to the pirate when he didn't leave the room.

As we left several minutes later, he actually placed a hand on my waist, making me flinch in repulsion. My insides recoiled at the thought that he would sometime actually force himself on me.

"We're going to the Southside." He whispered into my ear. "We'll meet up with some others. You'll be safe there."

I was more than confused now. What others? And what did Southside mean? And how could I be safe in this den of pirates?

"Hey Dom." Another rough looking man came up to us. "Where the hell have you been?"

Dom shrugged lightly. "Here and there. I've been busy with business." He nodded back to indicate myself.

The other fellow smiled seductively at me, making me almost nauseous. "I can see why."

I clinched my fists together at my sides, wanting to knock him out. Didn't these people ever hear of equal rights?

"You've been up to the Southside yet?"

"Nope. Been kinda hanging here and there."

After a few more minutes, the two of them, with me following, stopped for a drink. Sitting down at a table in the corner, the two continued to converse. Trying to follow it was next to impossible as they spoke in hushed tones and proceeded to say things that seemed like nothing, but the little I knew, proved they were talking about something.

After I gave up trying to follow it or understand it, I looked around the dark smoke filed room. The darkness was more than the absence of light, but a seeping coldness in the Force. And I had no idea where my husband or his apprentice was or even if they were even alright.

"Get us some more drinks woman." Dom's elbow meet my side hard.

Trying not to flinch from the pain, I snapped to attention. I nodded to them as I took the coins he left on the table and went to the bar. As I walked, I noticed a young man following me and his look wasn't too nice either.

Doing my best to ignore him, I ordered the two more shots of Corellian ale. While I was waiting for the bar tender to complete my order, the man spoke quietly in my ear.

"Why don't you and I mosey upstairs for some good times. I doubt your owner will notice that you're gone. I'm a lot better than he is."

I had to fight to hide my disgust and fired back at him. "Why don't you take yourself upstairs and go do it by yourself."

He looked startled for a moment, but then stepped in closer to me. "You sure baby? I think I can persuade you otherwise." He put a hand on my waist, pulling me toward him.

Knowing exactly where his other hand was going next, I pulled out the dagger I had fitted into my low cut tight shirt. In less than a second the weapon was thrust at the side of his throat, right by his vein. "Watch where you put your hands." I dropped my voice. "I'll bled you."

He removed his hands and stood back. "All right baby, have it your way."

I kept the dagger pointed at him as he walked away. "Good."

After he was out of sight, I tucked the dagger back in, extremely relieved that Ben had made sure I was armed. At least he thought that much about my safety.

Calming myself, I turned back to the bar tender and took the drinks. He raised any eyebrow, but said nothing.

"What took you so long?" Dom asked me when I finally returned to them.

"Just a slight distraction." I said lightly, playing light of what happened as I handed them their drinks.

They laughed and returned to their discussions. I sat close by, more shaken than I wanted to be and hung unto Ben's last words. "Trust me love."

Anakin's point of view

I sat down with Ren in a quiet corner, still not believing what he was telling me. When he approached me, I immediately wondered what happened to Ben, but as he explained, I almost didn't want to believe Ben left me here. Even if Ren was a trained undercover cop. "So he actually went to join Caddock?" I also felt angry and betrayed that he'd acted without me.

"Yup." He gave me a sympatric look. "Caddock didn't want any youngsters around or I think you'd have gone."

That calmed the anger down, but my Master was out there with that gangster, alone. "But he's by himself."

"Not exactly kid. There are several undercover cops and Jedi that are in locations ready to capture these guys when Ben and others get them there. He'll be fine."

I nodded, feeling better for only a slight second as I realized Meagan had been with him. "What about Desiree?"

Ren shrugged. "He didn't mention her, but I'm sure she's fine."

I had no idea what that meant, but also knew Ben wouldn't put her into any dangerous situation and would be fine. Besides there was little I could do now. So, reaching into the Force, I calmed myself before asking. "What now? Wait?"

"Well, tomorrow we'll head out to the next barge. There is another group there. Several undercover Jedi will be leading a net of pirates into our hands. Their actually the 'leaders' so it will be brought down easily."

I nodded, glad that the waiting and information gathering was done and the action was about to start. "Then we just hold them for a bit?"

"Probably not. A couple of us might run them in somewhere. Be less likely to get around what's going on."

I nodded again, wondering how fast this was going to happen and when I would see Ben and Desiree again.

Obi-Wan's point of view

After selling Desiree, I headed down a dark hallway to where Caddock and his crew was located for the moment. My nerves were tainted pretty tight and I could only trust my own skills and that the Force would direct me. This had to work.

"What took you so long?" A deep voice greeted me through the darkness.

"I wasn't going to sell her to just anyone. She's worth too much."

He grinned evilly as I came up to him. "Maybe you should have brought her with you. Liked to have tried her out myself."

Anger immediately surged through my veins at even the thought of this criminal getting his hands on my wife. However, through the Force I was able to control the tone in my voice. "She got too much starch for you. I liked her sassy."

"You would." He said as we turned a corner and meet with another rough looking pirate. "Show him around."

I nodded toward the man before Caddock headed one direction and we went down another.

It was after the tour that I was able to wander around by myself for a moment or so. It was important that I knew exactly how to get out of this place if the need ever arose. Now I just had to convince these pirates to head in about three directions or they would get away. And to keep our identities completely hidden. This wasn't going to be that easy.

Over the next few days, I stayed close to Caddock as I possibly could. He seemed to be planning the different raids that they would do the next year or so. And this just wasn't for his crew, but the whole lot of them. This bird had to be stopped.

"What do you think Ben?" One guy asked me as we ate something one night.

I shrugged lightly, but began implanting an idea. "Not sure about the section Caddock's been ratting on lately, but I was thinking about the Setorians section. Pretty rich, but don't think of security the way the others do. They keep to themselves mostly, which means less chances to be caught. Of course the Philijans are the same way. Either one would be a good hit."

He studied me for a moment or two before asking suspiciously. "Why haven't you hit them before?"

"Haven't the cash or the crew to do it." I looked liked I was really disappointed that I hadn't gotten there yet. "Though it's still profitable."

The guy thought on this for a while, before admitting. "You may be right."

"I am right." I smiled to myself and let the rest of my work go to the gossip chain. Hopefully this way, the where it started couldn't be traced back to me. Something told me it would be safer this way.

Meagan's point of view

I followed Dom around for several days after the bar incident. I was still scared at what was going to happen, but so far he hadn't forced any male intentions onto me or abused me in any way. I had to be grateful for the small things.

"It's just through here." His voice was quiet and low as he pushed a brick and a door way opened. "Just crawl through there."

I easily crawled through the small opening and stepped aside and waited for Dom to come through. I was still nearly clueless about what was going on, but I could feel through the Force something huge was going to happen.

I thought on this as we walked through a narrow passageway that eventually opened into a somewhat lit room that was sprinkled with a few computers and some other equipment. What was this place? What was going on in here?

"Good. You're back." A somewhat familiar voice called out, coming towards us. "Anything new?"

I squinted through the low light trying to find the source of the voice. Seconds later a dark blonde came into view and I instantly recognized her as Jedi Knight Siri Tachi, who I later learned was now called Kirea. Now I was really thrown for a loop. What was she doing here?

"Ben's headed for Caddock and I have our orders from the Council."

Kirea raised her eyebrows as she glanced from one of us to another. Meanwhile I was beginning to process all this.....He knew about the Council.....How did this pirate know that.... or maybe he wasn't a pirate...........

"It's about time." Kirea's voice broke my thought process as they both turned to me.

"What exactly did Ben tell you?"

I finally brought my thoughts through to completion.....Ben had sold me to another undercover Jedi.....no wonder he told me to trust him. "He hasn't told me anything." I said out loud as I managed to keep my emotions under control as I spoke.

Dom crossed his arms across his chest. "He's said you have the Council orders and you'd know what he was doing."

I looked at him in utter confusion for a moment before the I remembered the locket. Of course the locket!! I reached down and pulled it out. "He did tell me to keep this safe. I'm assuming anything you will need to know is in there."

They took it from me and worked the back off, pulling out a tiny data pad. So that's what he was working on that afternoon.

Kirea smiled then turned to the others that were in the room. "Let's get to work guys. I have a feeling we're about to see some action."

I sighed, settling down in a corner as they started dissecting my husband's directions. I was safe and this mission was nearly to the beginning of the end.

Anakin's point of view

Ren and I traveled a little ways on the outskirts of a corner barge, waiting mostly. Not too far away was a ship quietly waiting in the shadows of the mountain. They would escort the pirates out of the area with no one knowing anything beyond that the crew was heading out on a raid.

"Well look who's here." I turned to find Garen Mulan coming towards me, who I soon learned went by Matt. "I heard Ben dumped you onto Ren here."

I shrugged carelessly, managing to mask my surprise at seeing him. "His loss. I can make it on my own without him."

"Sure kid." He smiled crookedly. "Glad you're here. We're going to need your help."

It was later that night when I was getting off duty when Matt came back to me. "So Ben made it to Caddock?"

I nodded. " I was going to go with them, but it didn't work out that way."

"Them?" His eyes narrowed as it started to click. "You mean the woman he sold was Meagan?"

My mouth dropped open as I had assumed she went with him since Ren didn't know. "Sold her? He sold his own wife?" I felt my anger wise as Matt placed a hand on my shoulder.

"Easy young one. I'm sure she's fine since I've heard he sold her to Dom."

"And that should make it better?"

He smiled slightly, his voice barely above a whisper. "He's a Jedi. And how do you think all these under cops and Jedi are about to capture these pirates?"

I felt so stupid. Of course he would have sold her to another Jedi.

Matt just grinned. "She'll be fine Hayden. Ben knows what he's doing."

I smiled through the darkness, relieved that they were safe, for the time being at least. It was several moments that he spoke again, shortly before I was to leave.

"So how's the rugrat doing?"

"Growing like a weed." The thought of Sasha brought my heart warmth and peace. How I missed that baby. "She's crawling everywhere and has already charmed her way through the entire Temple."

Matt smiled and shook his head, almost in disbelief. "I haven't seen her since she was just a little thing. That's amazing."

I smiled again, suddenly wanting to hold her close, my arms nearly aching. "She's something else and only nearly nine months old too."

"Hayden, she's got you wrapped around her little finger."

I laughed with him. "Yea she does."

The next day dawned bright and early so to speak. Today was the day the first ring was to be brought down. The beginning of the end. I stood up and stretched my muscles in anticipation. All this watching and waiting was starting to get to me.

"You ready kid?" Ren and Matt stepped up to me several minutes later.

I nodded. "We headed outside now?"

"Sure are." Matt stepped by us, leading us toward a secret exit. The sun was bright compared to the darkness inside. I drew a breath of clean fresh air.

"This way." Matt pointed out as the three of us slowly made our way around a huge rock formation.

We positioned ourselves where we could barely made out the ship, parked not too far away. "The two Jedi should be leading their crew out within the next hour or so. The ship they are taking on the raid is the same one that has a few undercover cops and security guards."

"Then what are we doing here?"

"Back up in case they decide to try to run back out. Hopefully we can keep this first one quiet. We don't need any problems this early on. There are a few others scattered around out here. We just can't see them."

I nodded as I fingered the hilt of my hidden lightsaber, itching to use it, but knew that it was for our safety that we'd only use if it absolutely necessary.

It didn't quite seem like an hour later that a door opened about halfway across the barge. This was it. My heart rate picked up and both Matt and I leaned forward watching the pirates closely. They definitely looked ready for a long trip as we could barely make out their conversations about it. We carefully watched them as they entered the ship. We held our collective breaths as the ship's motors kicked on. So far so good.

Two of them walked off the ship and I could feel the Force coming from them. Matt and Ren smiled at each other as the ship took off. Slowly and quietly we headed back into the building, relieved that it went smoothly.

"So what's next?" Tyson, one of the undercover Jedi asked as we all settled into our safe area. It was actually a tiny area, no bigger than a few Temple quarters, but it was buried behind enough burial areas where no one would find it or even come looking back here.

"Well, Cryton and his crew are heading out tomorrow afternoon not too far from here. We have another ship coming in that will handle them. We'll run things just as we did today. However, the two cops that are in this group aren't the leaders, so it might be a bit tense at some points, but hopefully it will run just as smooth." Brock spoke, who seemed to be the one in charge of the Northside group. I"d heard there was a Southside, which was where I'd been told Desiree was.

"At the same time, the Southside will be doing the same thing with another group heading out. Caddock seems to be sending everyone out at different locations toward different parts of the galaxy. Like he's planning some sort of invasion."

"Won't Caddock be curious why no one reports back to him?" One asked.

"On normal raiding runs, they wouldn't report in for quite a while, so we have a bit of time before that happens."

"Anyway, there are four more groups heading out in the next few days. Then, if everything goes smoothly, we'll join with the Southside and take Caddock down together. He'll be the hardest rat to find and capture."

"Ben will get them there." I found myself saying out loud as they all turned and looked at me. I was the youngest by far.

"How would you know that kid?" Brock asked.

I felt my anger rise and Matt's hand on my shoulder as I managed to calm somewhat down. "Ben's my Master. He'll do his job even if it costs him his life."

The others around me nodded, well knowing his dedication, but of their own strong desire to work together to bring these pirates down completely.

"I suggest we all get some rest. The next few days are going to be ruff."

It was later that evening as I settled down when another undercover Jedi came up to me. "So Ben's your Master?"

"Yes he is. " I nodded, becoming worried about him. "I just wonder how he's doing, out there by himself."

Star smiled slightly, putting a comforting hand on my shoulder. "He'll be fine kid. Ben's tough and knows what's he doing.."

I smiled back slightly. "I know that better than anyone, but it's hard knowing I'm not there for him."

She gazed at me for a second before answering. "You're not there physically with him, but by doing the work you are now, you are helping him do his."

I thought on that for a second before agreeing with her. "I guess so, but it's still not easy." And I could only image what Desiree was going through right now. Did she even know that Ben sold her to another Jedi?

"You'd better get some sleep kid." Star interrupted my thoughts again before heading off to her own "bed."

I sighed then settled down for the long night. I reached into the Force, basking in the warm waves, knowing somehow it would work out.

"Hayden wake up." A ruff voice sounded in my ear. I opened my eyes and found Ren standing over me. "We don't have much longer before we leave."

That immediately woke me up and I was ready to go before I knew it. We all ate something, not knowing where the next meal would be, and also knowing we would need the energy. Though the Force would certainly help sustain us for a while.

"Ready kid?" Another Jedi asked me as I finished my rations. The entire group of them always checked on me since I blurted out the fact that my Master was with Caddock. It was annoying on one hand, but touching knowing that the Jedi took care of their own.

"As ready as I can be." I answered as we headed out.

The first group went down fairly easily with only a few shots being fired before we were able to load all of them into the cells in the cargo hold of the ship. We all stood back as we watched the ship take off. Relief flooded through me, knowing we were one step closer to the end. Of course we had no idea how the Southside was doing, but there was nothing we could do about them now.

The sound of Brock's voice caught my attention. "Good work guys. Let's get out here just in case someone comes to inspect those shots fired. We need to regroup and divide back up before taking out Cyrton's group."

The harder one of the two I thought as we headed back into the darkness.

Two hours later Matt, Ren and I hid behind another rock formation, thankful for the mountainous cover. We all watched as the group of pirates walked toward the ship then one suddenly stopped and glared at one of the other pirates. Instinctively I knew it was one of the undercover cops.

"Where are we going?" Cryton asked loud enough where we could make out their conversation. A funny feeling settled into my stomach. "That's not the ship I wanted."

The other man shrugged lightly. "Well, that's the only one I could get a hold of for you with the cash you gave me."

The pirate remained quiet, the tension building. I could fell a fight building through the Force. Besides me, Matt peered around the rocks, taking his lightsaber from its hidden location and taking it in his hands.

Ren looked just a grim, his own weapon in his hands. We all waited on baited breath, almost as in slow motion as Cryton pulled out his blaster and shot the cop.

The pirate crew immediately knew something more than ship problems was up as they all started running in different directions.

Springing into action, the fight was on. Jumping up from the rocks, Matt and I capitulated onto the scene, sabers flashing as the pirates starting firing at us. We stood back to back, slowly advancing onto the pirates that decided to stay and fight, well knowing it was a trap. "Well, look who's here. Ben's kid." A pirate sneered at us as two of them approached us toward the end of the fray. "Does he know that you've betrayed him? Or is he one of you?"

I felt my anger wise and I wanted to swipe him through with my saber, but managed to retort. "What's it to you? You're about to die anyway."

"You sure about that one?" He fired back as I realized Matt and I were nearly surrounded.

I held my saber up, glancing around, trying to think of a way out. "Quite sure about that."

"Let's just find out who's right." Matt added, a cocky smile on his lips. He knew something and I had to just had trust him as he swung his lightsaber down, making the rocks fly up at their faces.

Taking advantage of the slight distraction and of Ren's shooting at them from another direction, we attacked. It was easy to disarm and take down the first few, but after that, I had to skillfully duck and turn at just the right times. I was glad that Matt had my back.

It seemed like an eternity later that the shooting ended. Turning around slowly, I realized most of the pirates had been taken into custody or their bodies were laying on the ground. After helping load some of the pirates I turned to look for the one that recognized me. With all the dust flying I hadn't noticed if he was taken down or not. However, I didn't find him.

"What's wrong?" Matt and Ren had come up to me as they exited the ship after depositing several of them in their cells.

"Where's the one that recognized me?" I asked Matt. A funny feeling settled into my stomach again.

Matt sighed. "Brock was taking an inventory. We think about a handful of them escaped. And we think that scoundrel was one of them."

My breath caught in my throat and I couldn't seem to breathe for several long moments. They knew Ben was a Jedi. "Where do you think they were going?"

Ren and Matt looked at each other before back to me before one answered. "Mostly likely straight to Caddock to warn him."

"We have to do something. They'll kill Ben." I immediately said as we started to head away as the ship took off with the pirates and the bodies of the two cops that died.

Ren sighed before answering. "There's nothing we can do kid, except wait and see what happens. We still might have the chance of getting him."

"But what about Ben? We just can't let him be killed." I couldn't stand it if something happened to him, not while I was able to save him.

Matt looked at me and sighed, feeling as bad as I did about it. "I know how you feel. I want to warn him as much as you do, but they already have a head start and Caddock will be hard for us to find." He came and placed a hand on my shoulder. "Besides you know that Ben would want you to stay here with us instead of risking getting killed to find him. Never forget he has the Force to guide him. He'll know what's going on and he usually has more than one trick up his sleeve. Trust him Hayden. It'll be alright and we still have a job to do."

I knew he was right, but deep in my heart, I knew I had just nearly ordered my own Master's death, my own Father's death.

AN: Hey everyone!!!! We hope you enjoyed this next chapter and will also enjoy the ones to follow. We know some of ya'll commented on the fact you weren't expecting this latest twist, but just wait for what's in store...........We can't wait to hear more reviews from y'all. In fact Meagan and I got 2 reviews from our first story just a few days ago! People are still reading the first one! That makes us so happy.

I don't know how many of y'all picked up where the pirate name Dom came from..maybe none but I have to commit on it. Meagan and I were trying to think of more pirate names and the first one that came out of my mouth was Ewan (as in Ewan McGregor) but it didn't sound right. After all, Anakin's name is Hayden......The next name that came out of my mouth was Bill ( Billy Boyd AKA Pippin Took) but Bill didn't fit either. So then I said Dom (Dominic Monaghan AKA Merry Brandybuck) which worked!!! This just helps show how obsessed I am with LOTR and the actors. In fact I'm surprised the first name I said wasn't Elijah considering that I am an Elijah Wood fan.

Anywho on to our quotes...we are now going to put other movie quotes along with LOTR. We hope you enjoy them as much as the LOTR!!!

"There is another way...a secret, a dark way."

"Why haven't you spoken of this before?!"

"Because Master did not ask!" (Gollum and Sam in The Two Towers at the Gates of Mordor).

"George, are you online?"

"Well, as far as I'm concerned the internet is just another way of being rejected by a woman." (From one of our favorite Romantic Comedies starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan...You've Got Mail).
