Chapter 13:
6 months later:
"I'm sorry but we have to make a decision". The doctor says.
"No, no I won't accept that. We give him a few more days". Rock says.
"He has lost a lot of blood, and doc doesn't that do something to the brain, I'm sure it does. And, and Fraser, would want this bed to go to a soldier who is in dire need of it" Tuck says.
"So, you don't think your commanding officer, Christ your best friend needs this bed to help him get better, and you want to turn off that machine that is KEEPING him ALIVE?!" Rock shouts.
"He, hasn't improved that's what the doctor said. When IS, he going to improve? Rock tell me".
"If you turn that machine off…. You've killed your best friend". Rock says as he walks out.
"Commander, I will give you time to think about it". The doctor says as he begins to walk out.
"Turn it off". Tuck says, as he looks at me.
"Sir? You do know what this means?" The doctor says.
"Yes, turn it off". Tuck says as he walks out.
With that the doctor turns off the machine.
"I'm sorry General".
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Satine?" Tuck shouts.
"I'm in the kitchen" Satine shouts back.
"Uncle John!" Amanda runs and bear hugs Tuck,
"Woah, hey there tiger! How was school?" Tuck asks.
"It was fine, today we just had history and all the boring subjects. But when is my dad coming home? Is he not coming home?"
"Amanda!" Satine shouts.
"But mum, he hasn't been here and, uncle John says that he wouldn't be back for some time – that he's went to sleep". Amanda says.
"Amanda go and do your homework". Satine says.
Amanda runs back into her room,
"Why did you tell her?! Tuck he isn't dead I spoke with the doctor and he said he's stable but not conscious". Satine says.
"We – the doctor turned off his machine today". Tuck says.
"What? - but you-"Satine breaks down, crying as she holds on to the kitchen countertop. Tuck runs over to catch her.
"Hey, I've got you" Tuck whispers.
After a few minutes Satine stands up, Tuck continues to hug her, next thing Tuck kisses Satine. Tuck lightly pushes Satine against the counter,
"No, what are you doing?! I've just lost my husband – YOUR best friend. Tuck go now"! Satine shouts.
"But, I thought that you and I?" Tuck states.
"US?! I'm married Tuck, to Fraser not you!" Satine shouts,
"But, I love you" Tuck says as he grabs Satine's hands,
"Tuck, that night was a mistake, I was vulnerable that night, we both were and that night should never had happened. It WILL NEVER happen again. You need to leave". Satine says.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I slowly open my eyes, I see bright white lights, I slowly turn over to my side, I fall off a table.
"AH!" I grunt. I look around and I see dead bodies, everywhere.
I slowly get up, I try to make it to the door, but I keep on bashing into dead bodies,
"No, c'mon Fraser just walk in a straight line". I tell myself.
I finally, make it to the door, I open it and walk out to the corridor. I find the toilets and walk in, I look at myself in the mirror, I've got a brown full beard, my hair is all over the place, I'm in a hospital gown, which has been opened. I've got a bandage round my torso area, as well as my left shoulder. But thankfully, I've got grey boxer shorts on.
"Are you okay?" A man comes in.
"What's the time?" I ask.
"It's 2:50pm". The man says.
I walk out of the toilets, I make my way past the front desk.
"Excuse me where are you going? Stop!" The receptionist shouts.
But I start to walk as fast as I can. I burst through the hospital doors, I see clones being rushed into the hospital. Clones look at me weird, but I walk past them, and make my way to the Senate.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Padme?" I say as I walk through her office door.
"Fraser?" Padme says slightly bushing.
I look down to see that I'm just in my boxers with my hospital gown. Padme walks over to me and touches my face.
"You're alive" Padme whispers.
"Yes" I whisper back,
"But Tuck said". Padme says.
"Said what?" I say, with eagerness.
"Fraser, Tuck said to myself and Satine that the doctor had turned off your machine, 3 months ago, Tuck said that you had died, and he would be here to help us in anyway. He was focused on Satine though, which was weird". Padme says.
I fall to the ground, Padme tries to catch me but she's too late. I flump to the floor, I bring my knees up to my face. As I clutch my side.
"Fraser, I don't know what to say. Tuck said that you had died, and with that we all died a bit inside". Padme says.
"I need to see her". I say as I get up,
"Fraser, calm down. You've just came out of a coma, you must be in shock. I will get you clothes". Padme says as she gestures to 3PO to get me clothes.
"Who's in charge of the 503rd?" I ask.
"Tuck is in charge now". Padme says as she doesn't look at me.
"Tuck? but Rock's my second". I say as I turn to Padme.
"Apparently, you said that you wanted him to be in charge as your dying wish". Padme says.
I slowly get up, still clutching my side, I stare at the wall and think.
"Fraser?"
"Mistress Padme, here are the clothes that you requested". 3PO comes in with the clothes.
"Thank you 3PO". Padme says.
"I need to see her Padme, she needs to know that I'm alive". I say as I get changed as quickly as I can.
"Fraser, wait. The Separatists have increased their attacks, and Tuck believed that he should go to Mandalore and look after the Duchess". Padme says.
"But Satine isn't in danger, Mandalore is neutral. Why?" I say.
"I don't know Fraser". Padme says.
"Let's just go". I say as I walk out of Padme's office.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"We are here to see the Duchess" Padme says to the guard.
The guard nods and motions us into the great hall. We stand there in silence. I see Amanda, she stops and looks at me, we stare to each other for a minute. Before she runs up and hugs me.
"I'm here baby. I'm here". I whisper.
"Uncle John, said that you weren't coming back! But you came back" Amanda cries.
"Shh, I know baby but I'm here, I'm alive" I whisper to her.
"Ma'am it's Senator Padme Amidala and General –"The guard starts.
"Fraser?"
I let Amanda go, and just stare at Satine, I walk up to her and hug her. We stay there for what feels like an eternity.
"Duchess, I have…. Fraser?" Tuck says.
I let go of Satine and walk up to Tuck,
"Thanks for looking after them". I say as I hug him.
"No, it's what you would have done too, so don't mention it". Tuck says.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"You, you told me he died! But somehow, he is alive! Can you answer that?! Hm?" Satine says.
"Look, I know this looks bad but, but Satine. We – I had to make a decision to see if that machine would be turned off or stay on". Tuck says, as he walks up to her.
"You told me, that, that the doctor turned it off! You lied to me, to what, to what? Tuck, to sleep with me?" Satine says as she backs away from Tuck.
"Fraser, didn't deserve you, still doesn't deserve you. Satine, our time together we have grown stronger than you and Fraser". Tuck says.
"Oh, my God, are you even listening to yourself?! He is your best friend, MY husband! And, and you walked in here thinking, thinking what? That I would jump into your arms?!" Satine screams.
"Satine, look at me. I'm still me. I'm still the man who helped you raise Amanda, we can leave here together the 3 of us". Tuck says.
"Are you hearing yourself?! Tuck I will never leave my husband for YOU! For anyone! So, I suggest that you leave and never come back. Because if you do, then I swear, I will kill you" Satine says with sheer anger.
"I can't leave, because I love you. And, and Satine I will fight for you and for Amanda". Tuck says as he walks out.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Hey, you okay?" I say as I come up behind Satine, as I hug her waist.
"You're alive". Satine says as she kisses me.
"Yes, I know Tuck said". I say as she kisses me to stop me talking.
"I don't want to hear his name". Satine says as she starts to take off my top, once my top is off, Satine looks at my scars and my bandages.
Satine leads me to the bed and starts kissing me.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"So, kiddo, who's that?" I say as I point over to a boy staring at Amanda.
"Dad, you are so embarrassing. He's just a boy in class". Amanda says.
"Just?" I say laughing.
"Dad!" Amanda says as she pushes me.
"He's coming over. Don't say anything" Amanda says.
As the boy comes over, I notice that he has got light brown short hair, with brown eyes.
"Hi, Amanda" The boy says.
"Hey Chris" Amanda says.
"Hey Chris, I'm Fraser" I say.
"What's up dude, so Amanda we are having a party and you should come. It's tonight".
"Me? I woul-" Amanda starts.
"Yeah, no because it's a school night and Amanda is busy tonight anyway. So, you can go and take your party chat up line and try it somewhere else buddy". I say as I pat him on the shoulder.
"Fine, whatever". Chris says as he walks away to his group of friends.
"I can't believe you!" Amanda says as she walks away.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
As we walk into Satine's apartment, I can hear Satine and someone shouting.
"Amanda, go into your room". I whisper to her.
"Dad, it's just mum and Tuck. They've been like this for a while". Amanda says.
"But Satine, I love you!" I hear Tuck shout.
I walk into the room where they are. I smile at Tuck and Satine.
"I've just went and picked Amanda up from school. So how was your day?" I say as I peck Satine on the cheek and places my hands on her waist.
"Oh, you know the usual. Nothing every interesting". Satine says smiling.
"If you would excuse me, I've been called away to Umbara with the 503rd". Tuck says.
"I'll go with you, since I'm the General". I say with a smile.
"Of course, sir". Tuck says as he grits his teeth.
"Let me just say goodbye to my wife and my child". I say as I walk up to Satine and kiss her, then I go and find Amanda.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Rock!" I say as I run up and hug him.
"Fraser, I mean General, we thought you died. The Commander said so, with the doctor pulling your machine off". Rock says as he looks at Tuck.
"Well, somehow, I survived and here I am. Plus, I can't just leave my men". I say laughing as I walk up to the bridge.
"Did you?" Rock asks Tuck.
"Did I what?" Tuck asks.
"Did you turn off his machine and blame the doctor just to get his life?!" Rock says with anger.
"Haha, you think I would do that. That man right there is my BEST friend, I would die for him, Christ I would even kill for him – if it means keeping him alive". Tuck says.
"They are just words Tuck, just words. Why did you spend so much time on Mandalore? Huh, oh no, you did, didn't you?" Rock says.
"They aren't just words after he got shot, I went to the Separatist leader and I killed him with my bare hands, so that what I do to men I don't like! And as for Mandalore, I was comforting the Duchess, because she just lost her hus- her friend". Tuck says.
"We, ALL know that the General, sees the Duchess in a different light than just a friend – we've kept that quiet, because that's what we feel is best. But you, you see it as an opportunity to a, get his position and b, to try and get his family. That's not what a best friend does, Tuck". Rock says.
"I swear, if you tell him, then I will kill you". Tuck says as he pushes past Rock.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"So, both our forces will be helping with the ground assault and the space assault". The Admiral says.
"Right, okay where are we attacking from?" I ask.
"Fraser, Tuck has already come up with a plan, but I need to ask you this – did you say he would now oversee the 503rd, as your dying breath?" The Admiral asks.
"Adam, I didn't say that, but don't worry. I'm working on something, if the men know that Tuck is leading it then I will take the second in command – but if things go out of hand then I will intervene". I say.
"Yes, please do. He has been acting weird since you were shot and when he said that you had died. Fraser, I think something's snapped inside of him". Adam says.
"I'm beginning to think that too". I say as I walk out of the bridge and down to the hanger.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Right, so men here is the plan, is the gunships will drop us off and we will attack head on, we will meet up with the 501st and help them with their mission. Any questions?" Tuck says.
"Sir, will General Broadfoot be joining us for this battle?" A trooper asks.
"Yes, I will". I say as I walk towards them.
"However, this is still Commander Tucker's mission, I will be his second. However, if the Commander isn't up to the task then I will take over.". I say, with a smile.
As the men board the gunships, I pull Tuck aside,
"So, Tuck I've got a few things that I need to clear with you. First thing is that don't you EVER say that I wanted you as my next in command, because I didn't you lied! Don't worry I'll give you, your wee last blaze of glory but after this you will go back and be the commander understand?" I start.
"Ye-"
"I'm not finished, second, did you turn off my machine and blame the doctor? Oh yes, how could I forget this one silly me. If you want to screw MY wife – then mate you better make sure that I'm dead, because I swear to go if I found out any more. You just better prey that I don't find you because it won't be pretty" I say.
"Fraser, I did turn off your machine, but we needed it for the men, and I WILL stand by that decision until the day that I die. As for Satine, well mate let's just say that she was screaming my name whilst you were fighting for your life. You've got a good marriage Fraser really". Tuck says laughing as he walks away.
"General?" Rock says.
I am shaking with angry, "Yes, Rock?" I say as I turn to face him still shaking.
"We are leaving, sir" Rock says.
"Of course,". I say as I walk towards the gunship.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"General there is a lot of surface fire". Rock says to me.
"Don't worry sir, those guys don't have anything that we can't handle". Arrow says.
"Definitely". I say.
"Commander, I'm turning off the light as our night vision is having a tough time with this weather" Sam says to us through the commlink.
"No Sam you will keep your lights on until we are at the landing zone!" Tuck says.
"Sam, it's General Broadfoot here. Turn them off if you need to but just get us as close as you can to the landing zone we will do the rest" I say as I turn off my commlink.
"Sir, Tuck isn't going to be happy that you overruled him on that decision". Rock says.
"Rock, there's no point in making the pilot's job harder than it already is". I say.
"Boys, time to LOCK AND LOAD!" Arrow says, as the men lock and load and get ready for the assault.
"General we are coming in too hot!" A clone says.
"Sam get the walkers on the ground now!" I shout, though my commlink.
"No, I'm leading this battle not you!" I hear Tuck shout back.
"We keep going until we are on top of them!" Tuck says.
I walk over to the back of the ship, and manual pull down the door.
"You ready?" I ask the clone sitting on the walker.
He just nods and jumps back.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Commander I believe that the General has undermine your orders and launch his walkers, as well as serval other walkers". A clone comes up to Tuck,
"I know!" Tuck shouts as he pushes the clone off the ship to his death.
"Anybody else want to tell me anything?"
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I look down to see the walkers are making good progress.
"Good work boys!" I shout.
"Sam, just drop us off here and help with the space battle, they are going to need pilots like you" I say.
"Yes sir, good luck" Sam says as he lowers the gunship and my men and I jump off and come out firing at the enemy.
I hit the gunship twice and Sam flies away.
"So, glad you could join us sir" A clone with blue armour comes up to me.
"You know me, Hardcase, I would rather be out here than sitting in a grave". I say as I pat his shoulder.
"Right men, you know your orders, let's do this". I say as my men start running to the enemy.
As we make our way up hill,
"Remember guys the enemy could have this place crawling with traps so stay sharp!" I say.
"But sir, I can't even see the enemy!" A shiny says to me.
"That's why they are called the shadow people, Tup!" Hardcase shouts.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Sir we need to land, now!" The clone pilot says to Tuck.
"No, we aren't at the landing zone yet!" Tuck says.
"No, sir. You are landing now!" The clone says as he lowers the gunship and the clones start to get out of the gunship.
Tuck jumps out and starts hitting the gunship, with sheer anger.
"Something wrong, Commander?" Anakin Skywalker says.
"No, nothing General". Tuck says back.
"Right well, I may suggest that you start firing at the enemy and helping us win this battle" Anakin says as he runs again to repel the enemy.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Don't worry it's just a vine"
As the vines start to move and grab hold of some troopers I turn and see that it's got Hardcase and some other troopers. I start firing at the thing's head I think it is.
"Hardcase shoot it!" I say.
But the vine realises Hardcase and eat another clone.
"That's not right!" Hardcase shouts as he opens fire at the vine.
Thankfully, a trooper throws a grenade and kills the beast.
I laugh, "Oh man, Hardcase if you wanted a girl to kiss you, you should just ask for one and not ask a vine". I say laughing.
"Very funny sir". Hardcase says.
I walk over to the trooper, who throw the grenade.
"Nice work trooper. I'm Fraser" I say as I hold out my hand to help him up.
"Thank you, sir, Arc Trooper Fives". Fives says as he accepts my hand.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
We head up the hill and see the clones are just clearing the area.
"Hm, nice work". I say.
"General Broadfoot, you have my thanks for your support" Anakin comes up to me.
"No, my pleasure sir". I say with a smile.
"However, I did expect you to be in a grave right now but somehow you are here". Anakin says.
"Well, no time like the present". I say.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"General Broadfoot, you have been called to Mandalore" A trooper comes up to me.
"What?! No I can't just leave my men" I say
"Trooper, I've got it" Rock says.
"Senator Amidala has asked for you. She wishes you to attend a political meeting with the Seps as her escort". Rock says.
"What?" I ask confused.
"Sir, just get on the ship. Don't worry about us we will be fine here – plus you'll be back before you know it" Rock says as he pushes me onto the ship.
"But-" I start as the ship's doors close on me.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Senator, what an unexpected pleasure!" I say as I reach for Padme's hand and peck it.
"The pleasure is mine General. I thought that in your condition you may wish to be somewhere that isn't trying to kill you". Padme says.
I smile as I head to Padme's ship.
"Fraser, these are the first ever peace talks that we have had with the Separatists. This could end the war. So, they need to go right". Padme says, as she paces the ship.
"And they will, they have you in them. It's like a chess game Padme, you're good at chess. Well, you always bet me". I say with a laugh as I cough and hold my side.
"Are you okay?" Padme rushes to my side. I nod, and I start to breathe normally again.
"Senator, we are approaching Mandalore". The pilot says.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Padme and I step out onto the platform, I'm in my dress uniform with my cap on. We meet up with Bail Organa and Mon Mothma.
"Senators, pleasure". I say as I bow my head.
"General, the pleasure is all ours. I hope Padme briefed you on the situation. Commander Tano will join us shortly" Bail says.
"Yes, she has". I say with a smile, as a shooting pain comes across my side. I grunt as I clutch my side.
"Is everything alright General?" Says Mon Motham.
"Yes, Ma'am. Just a wee bit sore". I say with a smile.
"Senators, General". Commander Tano comes over.
"Ahsoka! Welcome!" Padme says as she rushes up and hugs Ahsoka.
"Ladies and Gentlemen this way please". A guard says.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I stand beside Padme as she sits down. Then the Separatists senators make their way in, I look up to see Jane and Frankie walk in. I shake my head, as I take my cap off and hold it in my hand.
"General, I'm afraid you must leave your weapons out of this meeting" A guard goes up to Frankie.
"But-" Frankie starts.
"General, these are peace negotiations if you don't want peace then leave these negotiations". Satine says.
"Of course, Duchess. Anything for you" Frankie smiles at me.
As the senators take their seats, I'm standing across from Jane – who looks at me with hope.
"Let these negotiations begin". Satine says, as she sits on her throne.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"The Republic recognises the tragedy of war. However, we cannot change what has happened". Padme says.
"Say it out loud before this gathering! As slaves of Chancellor Palpatine you regard the Separatist state legitimate without reservation". Voe says.
"I have something to say about the legitimacy of the Separatists!" A boy roughly around the same age as Ahoska comes in.
"Who's that?" I whisper to Padme.
"That's Lux Bonteri". Padme whispers back to me.
"Again, who is that?" I whisper again.
"Padme, you didn't tell me that Lux Bonteri would be here". Ahoska whispers to Padme,
"I didn't know".
As Lux reaches the podium, he bows to Satine,
"I stand before you, son of Mina Bonteri. A loyal Separatist, a patriot, a friend. It's come to my attention that my mother was murdered in cold blood by Count Dooku himself!" Lux says.
"That is a LIE! Remove this traitor immediately". The middle Separatists stands up.
Jane ushers her guards to remove him, Ahoska and I try to help him, but Padme pulls us back.
"Stop this!" Satine says as she stands up.
"With all due respect, we would deal with this matter ourselves". Voe, says as Jane removes Lux from the meeting.
"We can't just let them take him, he'll be kiled". Ahoska whispers to me and Padme.
"Go and get him, but be discreet you two". Padme says to us.
I clear my throat,
"Excuse me, Senators, Duchess. I'm not feeling too well". I say as I wink at Ahoska. Ahoska nods her head,
"Oh no! General, let me help you!" Ahsoka says as she dramatically says and takes my arm and walks me out of the meeting.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
We get to the prison and see that Lux has been handed over to the droids.
"Ahsoka, you go and get Lux. I'll keep them distracted". I say.
"Right, I'll let you know when I've got him". Ahsoka says.
"Take him to Padme's ship". I say as I put my cap on and walk back to the meeting.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"I take it you are feeling better General?" Voe asks.
"Yes, Ma'am I just needed some fresh air". I say with a smile as I resume my position beside Padme, Jane comes in after me, and she stands across from me.
"General MacGregor, how do you feel this war has affected you?" Voe says.
"Well, if you want my opinion. I believe that we should continue this war as the Republic will continue to trample on our rights – we must win this war to show the Republic that the Separatists are greater than the Republic".
"Frankie!" Jane says.
"What Jane, you know I'm right! He knows that I'm right" As Frankie points to me.
"We all know that the Republic's Generals are brutes let's be honest" Frankie says.
"Thank you, General" Voe says.
Jane looks at me,
"Fraser don't!" Jane says.
"Do you know this man?" Voe asks Jane.
I laugh and look at Jane,
"Yes, I knew him". Jane says.
"And, she chose my over you, Fraser! She always will!" Frankie says.
I turn and face Frankie,
"I will beat you like a barricade drum!" I say.
"You couldn't even if you tried". Frankie says.
"Frankie, dear. Do you remember that time in camp? When I bet you up? Do you remember?" I say.
"Yes, but I'm stronger now. Plus, I have the backing of some people that you don't" Frankie smiles and looks at Jane.
"See that uniform, is it too tight for you? Cause, it's cutting off the circulation to your brain – you need to get a bigger size. Maybe XL?" I say.
"Enough! Frankie walk away, Fraser walk away! These are peace talks". Jane says as she pushes me out of the meeting.
"Boom, boom, boom. What's that noise it's just Frankie's head against my fist!" I shout.
"I'm to kill you!" Frankie shouts.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Really?" Jane turns to me.
"Wait" I start.
"You decide that now is the time that you want to speak to him! In peace talks and you go and slat him? He is my husband!"
"I'm your brother, for Christ sake! Jane! Remember you made that choice to choose him over me!" I say.
"You will go out there, and you will not speak to him or even look at him. Understand?" Jane says.
I walk away from her and open the door,
"Understand?!" Jane says a little louder.
I nod my head and walk back and stand beside Padme.
"Senators, forgive me. I acted out of order – please accept my humble apologizes". I say.
The Separatists senators glare at me,
"It's alright General – tensions are running high". Bail says as he smiles at me.
Frankie comes into the room, holding Jane's hand, I glance over and he notices this and kisses Jane.
"I just love you! I'm glad that you chose me" Frankie says looking at me.
"General MacGregor, the prisoner is escaping!"
"What do you mean escaping?" Frankie says a little too loudly.
"General!" Voe says.
"The prisoner is escaping with a girl".
"Where is she going Fraser?" Frankie turns to me, I fix my eyes on Jane.
"Generals, these are peace talks. Please if you have an issue take it outside. We are trying to bring peace to the Galaxy". Satine says.
"Yes, Duchess we are. Forgive my loss of blood to his brain friend. He's quite slow due to the tight uniform". I say, Padme giggles.
"Fraser, where is your Jedi friend?!" Frankie says as he walks towards me.
"Oh, you are right she isn't here – must have got bored of looking at your face". I say with a smile.
"You are quite the General know aren't you Fraser".
"What? - Sarah?" I say in disbelief.
"Yes, in the flesh". Sarah says as she walks towards me.
"The Republic has just freed the prisoner Lux Bonteri. Senators, so I suggest we leave this meeting as the Republic clearly don't want to talk peace". Sarah says as she reaches me.
"No, look I can explain this. We believe that Lux Bonteri, er, will be dealt with by the Jedi as he stole um, something from them". I say as Sarah brushes past me.
"You never wanted these talks did you?!" Voe says.
"No, please let's all just calm down!" Padme says.
"No, we are leaving". The middle Separatist says.
Sarah comes up to me,
"You've been working out. You look buff. Fraser, we should have drinks so time". Sarah says as she puts a hand on my waist.
"General Broadfoot?" I hear Satine's voice.
"Um, yes Duchess?" I say as I quickly walk away from Sarah.
"Republic dogs!" I hear Voe says.
"Excuse me, Ma'am. You were asking General MacGregor about the war. Here is my opinion on it, it destroys families. I know this first hand. The commander is my sister, and the General is my brother in law. Finally, General John Broadfoot is my father. I hope you are satisfied that the war has continued". I say.
