Chapter 2... Crash

It was about 8:45 when we finished eating. While Master Qui-Gon was paying for our meal, I moved over to a window near the front door of the diner. ~If only every diner served its food as quickly as this one~ I thought.

All of the sudden, I heard a loud rumbling noise. I couldn't tell what it was at first but it sounded like a ship flying too low. My assumptions were soon proven to be correct. Less than a minute after hearing the noise, a ship crashed directly into the skyscraper that Master Qui-Gon had been in thirty minutes ago.

All I could do was scream.

Master Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan were at my side instantly. "What's wrong?" Obi-Wan asked, concerned. I pointed up at the skyscraper. Obi- Wan's mouth fell open. "Master, what are we going to do?!"

"Let's go outside and see the damage, then we can figure out what to do," Master responded.

We raced outside and saw smoke billowing from the building. From the looks of it, no one was hurt outside the building but we could all sense that people were hurt inside.

Master Jinn turned to say something to us but before he could another ship crashed into the skyscraper that was right next to the first one. We all threw ourselves onto the ground and covered our heads as debris fell around us.

As we got back on our feet, I looked at Master Qui-Gon, "Were you going to say something, Master?"

"As a matter of fact, yes, I was, Rilla," Master responded. "I was about to say that we needed to evacuate people out both buildings. You and Obi-wan take the first one. From what I can sense, it's more stable. I'll take the second one."

"But, Master..."

"No 'buts', Padawan. Go," Master Jinn ordered.

"Yes, Master," we both replied before hurrying off to the first building.
