This ties up the third chapter, Trouble.

Ric isn't a bad guy. He's just mad about something. I can't tell you what just that you have to be patient.

Breha Organa watched as Ric Joi paced the floor of one of the many sitting rooms of the Alderaanian Palace.

Something about him made her uneasy but at the same time he invoked curiosity. He was mysterious. He rarely spoke and when he did it was to talk about how he was going to find out the truth. Breha found herself wondering what had happened to him to drive him so. Did he loose a loved one and was their child stolen? Had he worked on a similar case?

Breha just hoped that this matter would be resolved soon. This whole thing was taking a toll on her husband Bail.

"CSI-221," Ric snapped suddenly at one of the analyst driods. "We need to know whether or not this child was Leah Mayra Stardust. If she was, then arrests need to be made. If not then other leads must be found and properly investigated."

Breha let her mind wander. She had been released from the Medical Wing of the Palace eight days ago, Leia's funeral had been six days ago and Ric Joi had been investigating for four days.

At that moment Bail came in, paler than a ghost. "What is it?" she asked. Had other investigators turned up? Had they found evidence that condemned Bail?

Bail just went over to a Holonet projector and activated it. He selected a file and soon an image of the Emperor appeared with Lord Vader: a man that the Emperor had made his Second and appointed in charge of the Imperial Navy and Army.

The Emperor was saying something about having complete faith that Lord Vader could continue his duties even though he was taking care of an infant. A frown crossed Breha's face. Why did Lord Vader have a child? Was it his? Was it a child spared from the carnage at the Temple?

At that moment Ric Joi's commlink chirped. "Yes?" he asked. "Sir, we have found another lead for the missing child, Leah Mayra Stardust. We are pretty sure that she was taken for a black market adoption."A woman's voice reported on the other end. "If you find nothing on Alderaan please check out the Acaras of Napaj Prime."

"Undersood." Ric Joi saidand he deactivated the commlink and replaced it in it's pouch.

Suddenly an analyst droid came in. "Sir, we found some hair from a newborn. It's a negative match for Leah Mayra Stardust and it doesn't match any of the human workers at the palace," It reported.

Ric nodded. "I apologize for the trouble I have caused your Majesties. I hope that in time you will open your home to another child that needs a loving home." With that he left with the analyst droids.

Breha watched him leave in shock. He was acting as if nothing had happened. But that just must be how he was.

The man known as Ric Joi sighed as he boarded his ship and lifted off. He plotted a course for Napaj Prime and then entered Hyperspace.

"You should have been nicer to him." A woman's voice said. "Taking your anger out on him wasn't part of the plan."

"I'm sorry, my love, I had not planned on doing what I did, but once I felt his emotions I lost control of mine."

The woman came forward and planted a kiss on his cheek. "It's a good thing that I love you Ric Joi or you might be sleeping in the Tot house tonight.

Ric smiled. "Yes it is Ki-" He started to say only to be cut off by a kiss.

This part is done with. We will not be seeing Ric Joi again.

I commend you if you can figure out what happened.
