Chapter 8... Rescue
We had been working for two of the five hours Master Yoda had given us when someone was found buried under the rubble. A small hole was had been dug to reach the person but it was too small for most people to fit through.
"I can go," I volunteered. Being only 5'1", I could easily fit through a lot of things others couldn't.
"No, Padawan," Master said. "You've already been injured twice today and I don't want to risk it happening again." He turned to the fire chief in charge, "Can you make the hole bigger so someone else can go in?"
"I'm afraid not, Master Jedi," the chief responded. "If we make it any bigger the whole pile could collapse and bury the man inside even more."
"Master, let me do it. You know it's the only way. I promise I'll be extra careful," I said.
Master Qui-Gon sighed. "Ok, you may go but you must be extremely careful."
I was soon crawling through the tiny hole. When I reached the man who was buried, I looked around. It seemed like the rubble had somehow made a little cave around the man.
"Dang, you got lucky!" I said, looking at him. "What's your name?"
"Robert," he replied. "You look a little young to work at the fire department. Who are you?"
"I'm Rilla Kenobi, Jedi Padawan. My Master is Qui-Gon Jinn. We've been helping clear the debris as best we can."
"Ok, Jedi Padawan, what's the plan here?"
"The plan is to get you out of here," I said, in a tone that said the plan should be obvious.
"Care to expand on that?" Robert asked.
"Sure. I'm going to find a weak point in the debris, that won't bring the whole thing down on us, and use my lightsaber to cut a hole out."
"And how are you going to do that?"
"I'll use the Force."
"You can do that?"
"You sure do ask a lot of questions," I said. "Yes, I can do that."
"Ok. What do I need to do?" Robert asked
~Another question~ I thought. Out loud, I said, "Be quiet so I can concentrate." Robert then fell silent.
It took a good thirty minutes to find and cut a way out of there. When I finished cutting the hole, I climbed out so that others could get in and help the man.
Once he was out, I walked over to my Master. "See, I kept my promise and got the job done without getting hurt," I said.
"Indeed, you did, Padawan," Master said with a smile. He then gave me a hug. "Now if only you could do that on missions," he teased.
