Ahsoka slowly pulled herself up from the ground and looked around. Police were surrounding the crime scene and questioning the customers. Bright sirens illuminated the destroyed diner behind her. No one seemed to pay her any mind though. Witnesses were huddled up in little groups. Some were having their wounds attended to while others sat and spoke in hushed voices. Occasionally she could hear them whisper words like "Jedi", "lightsaber" and "missing".

"Over there sir, she looks like one of the Jedi." A woman's voice
said. Ahsoka turned around and saw two cops approaching her from the diner.
They stepped over the rubble and walked towards Ahsoka while having their heads
lowered in conversation. Their hats covered their faces leaving only their
mouths showing.

"We are thankful for your service." The woman said. "Many of the witnesses
here spoke about your bravery tonight." Ahsoka smiled back at the woman. Then
she looked down as she blinked back tears. Knowing that it wasn't enough to
save Anakin, despite what the police said was beginning to tear a hole in her
heart.

"Thank you" She said softly while looking back up.

"Do you know why these people attacked the diner this evening?"
The woman's boss asked her.

"I don't, but I wish that I did, officer." Ahsoka responded.

"Weren't there two Jedi according to the witness reports?" The
woman asked, "Where is the other Jedi?"

"Gone." Ahsoka said as her lip trembled. She took a deep breath
and tried to release some of her emotion into the force. "He was taken by the
attackers."

The two cops raised their eyebrows and looked at each other.

"This is out of our jurisdiction." The male officer said. "We will
need to inform the Jedi council about this and the senate." He looked back at
Ahsoka "Unless you have told them already yourself."

"I haven't yet." She said.

"Well we can do it and send in the evidence that we have gathered
so far to the senate and council to work with. Get on that, Sergeant."

"Yes sir." The woman said and walked away. Ahsoka watched her pull
a comm out of her pocket and begin to speak into it. She could hear
Senator Amidala's voice in the background but tried to tune her out.

"What is your name?" The
officer asked her while pulling out a small black device.

"Ahsoka Tano." She stated as calmly as possible.

"What were you doing at the diner this evening?"

"Getting dinner with my Master."

"How did you get to the diner?"

"We took a speeder from the temple."

"Is this something that you two do often?"

"When we get the chance to, yes"

"What were you doing when the attack occurred?"

"Ordering dinner"

"What happened after the blast occ-" "Ahsoka!" Obi-Wan called. She
turned her head and saw Master Kenobi walking towards her with a grim look on
his face.

"Master Kenobi!" Ahsoka exclaimed, relief evident in her
voice. She left the officer and ran towards him.

"Master I-" She began.

"Later, Ahsoka. I know what happened." He turned back towards the
officer. "Is there anything else that you need from her?"

"No, Master Jedi" The officer said and walked away to find
his colleagues. Obi-Wan looked back at Ahsoka. "Let's get out of here. We can
talk when we are back at the temple."

Ahsoka followed Master Kenobi through the busy streets of
Coruscant. The same dazzling bright lights from before seemed like they were
mocking her. How could they be so bright and merry when she had just lost one
of the most important people in her life? Who knew where her master was, or
what they were doing to him. Ahsoka tried to sense him through the force, but
it felt like it was muted. She frowned; the attackers had given him something
that contained a force dampener.

"Ahsoka, I can sense your emotions through the force." Obi-Wan
said as they turned around a corner.

"Sorry, Master" She mumbled.

"It's alright. I understand. Just try to not let your emotions get
the better of you." He said as they approached the speeder. Ahsoka climbed into
the passenger seat and waited for Obi-Wan to start the engine. They took off
and flew through the heavy traffic of the city. Ahsoka noticed that Master
Kenobi drove slowly (a little too slow sometimes) and safely. The exact
opposite of how her master drove her to the diner. She watched as traffic sped
past them on the way back to the temple.

Obi-Wan looked at Ahsoka out of the corner of his eye and sighed.
Usually she would be telling him about something silly that Anakin had done or
updating him on all of the padawan gossip. She was just starting out into the
distance with her head turned away from him. Her legs were curled up in the
seat slightly, like as if she was trying to make herself seem smaller.

"When we get back, the council is going to question you, Ahsoka."
Obi-Wan said. She turned to look at him. Her eyes were dull and bloodshot.

"I know" She said softly. "I'm just not sure what I'm going to
tell them."

"Tell them the truth." Obi-Wan replied as the pulled into the
hangar.

"I know, but how?" Ahsoka asked while jumping out of the speeder. Obi-Wan
moved to follower her but then thought better of it. She probably needed some
time to cool down, but he knew that he had to speak to her later before the
council did.
