I own nothing except a few characters and the plot. There are a few Law & Order things included just to add some New York flavor.
TROOPS: NEW YORK
RETURN OF THE CHOSEN ONE
Anakin had tagged along with Richie and Erica while Padme went to introduce herself to the Houstons. They were in The Bronx going to interview a possible witness in a murder of a human from Cloud City.
"There's our guy." Erica said and pointed at a guy who was repairing a car on the sidewalk with a couple of other guys.
"Nice bonus. They know they can't park cars on the sidewalk." Richie added as he stopped the car and the three of them got out.
"Hey guys. You know you can't park or fix cars on the sidewalk. We gotta see some ID and the papers on this car too. We're also looking for a Daniel Flores."
"Yo, let's bounce." One of them said and they began to cross the street.
"Hey, jaywalking's still on the books." Erica called.
"You serious?" Another one asked.
"Very. Means we have to run you all for warrants and if you have any. You belong to us." Richie said as the men turned back to the car.
"Who does the toolbox belong to?" Anakin asked.
"Not ours." Another one said. Richie picked it up.
"Then it's trash on a city sidewalk. Let's see what's inside." Erica said and put on a pair of rubber gloves and opened the box.
"Nice .22. Get against the car and do it right now. Imperial Command 3 to Central, I have a 10-39 with a weapon at 1414 Bryant Avenue." Richie pulled his blaster on them. One of the guys decided to take off followed by Anakin.
"I'm sure Lord Vader can take care of himself. As for your friend, be glad Mrs. Vader sent him to Anger Management." Erica said stressing the references to Vader while Richie put their suspects in handcuffs. Anakin had followed the running suspect around the corner and used The Force to trip him with a trash can. This allowed Anakin to catch up and grab the man.
"I didn't do anything." The suspect protested.
"Then why did you take off?" Anakin asked as an NYPD cruiser stopped.
"What's going on? We heard something about a weapon." One of the officers said.
"Anakin Skywalker, Jedi. This guy took off on two Imperial officers around the corner. They're looking for a possible murder witness or suspect." The other officer searched the suspect and found an ID.
"Daniel Flores." He said.
"That's who Colonel Terrik was looking for." Anakin said as Flores was placed in the back of another squad car.
OFFICE OF SECRETARY OF STATE WANDA HOUSTON
Padme had found her way over to what Tevin referred to as the Imperial Administration Building. She was joined by Tevin and Darnell who needed to discuss a state matter with Wanda.
"Wanda, meet Senator Padme Amidala." Tevin said.
"Wanda Houston. This is my daughter." Wanda pointed at a girl sitting on a couch with a laptop computer.
"I'm not a Senator anymore. Just call me Padme." Padme said and sat down next to Wanda's daughter.
"Krissy will show you around the city and take care of getting you a proper wardrobe. I assume someone is being detailed to do the same for Anakin." Wanda said as her aide Melissa walked in.
"NYPD just backed up Colonels Terrik and Rex on a gun call. Bronx Borough Commander wanted to know if you knew about a Jedi named Anakin Skywalker being in the city. Said he had no papers, but Terrik and Rex vouched for him." She said as Padme grinned.
"Anakin and sitting idle do not agree with each other." She explained.
"I'll deal with the NYPD. Provided that Richie hasn't taken care of the matter while playing Supertrooper, Darnell will be taking care of Anakin and I'll explain it to Myers."
"Or Admiral Piett doesn't take care of it himself. They go back to at least the Battle of Hoth." Darnell said.
"Yeah, Anakin made Piett an Admiral after the Late Admiral Ozzel proved that he was either stupid or disloyal enough to land in front of one of those Imperial loyality committees that Myers loves to threaten investigation obstructing corporate execs with an on the street hearing in front of since former Assistant Director Tunney told Richie he didn't want to hear anything more about COMPNOR or ISB again." Tevin said earning stares from two of the three women in the room.
"How do those work?" Padme asked.
"Michael Myers airs the dirty laundry of a corporation on a crowded sidewalk and lets the Court of Public Opinion have its say after throwing left field accusations of treason. The press picks up on it and we end up having to back his play." Wanda explained.
Richie, Anakin, and Erica returned to the office with Flores and his pals in tow. Richie was all set for an easy close on his case by charging Flores with murder for the simple fact that he tried to flee when they found the gun and his pals as accessories to murder and let the lawyers sort it out.
"How did you guys catch three suspects when one took off?" Max asked.
"He tripped over a trash can." Erica replied.
"That magically appeared in his path." Richie added as Michael appeared.
"I hope you're waiting for Kelsey before sending Flores to court." He said.
"Murder, yes. Gun possession on him and his buddies, no."
"You can do that?" Anakin asked.
"I once got whacked for doing this exact same thing in Haddonfield. Charge all three of them with murder. Life in prison is a powerful bargining chip." Michael explained.
"Now we know the origins of that." Max muttered earning a head-slap as Michael left.
"That was for snooping though Hollister's e-mails." Anakin raised an eyebrow.
"Max thinks Darnell is either dating the Secretary of State's daughter or is her son from a teenage pregnancy that she doesn't want known to anyone." Derik explained.
"I didn't say dating. I said more then friends with." Max tried to defend himself. Anakin was trying to stay stoic. As Vader, he most likely would have executed Max for spreading idle gossip. As Anakin, he thought of how he did it to Obi-Wan.
"No, you used the term sleeping with at least four times since I transferred into this place." Erica said.
"Don't get snippy with me. I know what I said and it was not sleeping." Max shot back. Anakin was left wondering, he wasn't sure what had come of Ahsoka Tano or Captain Rex after Palpatine had issued Order 66. Did Rex simply follow orders and kill Ahsoka or did they disappear together. He was never sure that Palpatine had told him the whole story about this planet given the fact that Palpatine had lied to him at every turn, but he knew who could tell him more.
"If anyone needs me, I'll be with Davin Felth. I'm not convinced I was ever told the truth about this planet in general." He told the four officers and left.
"I know a few things that might have been kept out of the copy of that mission report he would have received. Mainly regarding the history of my people in the 1940s and the fate of the monster behind those savage acts." Derik said.
CENTRAL PARK
A hooded figure appeared in a hidden corner of the park. He paused as of searching for something or someone.
"Anakin, Michael Myers, the Khayman Twins, Khayman's spirit, and it feels like Ahsoka Tano or some relative of hers is here. I don't sense Vader though." He muttered to himself as he looked towards what he presumed was Lower Manhattan and stroked his beard. Something didn't make sense to him and he doubted that it would make sense to Anakin or Michael. He decided that he needed to find an Earth transport of some sort. It would be hard since he wasn't sure if Credits were any good on this planet.
"Freeze!" Came the voice of someome behind him.
"Hello there." He turned to face this person and found a pair of Stormtroopers wearing the colors of the 501st facing him.
"What's a Jedi doing here?" One of the troopers asked.
"Looking for a means of getting to where I might find a man called Myers. I believe he's in charge of your operations."
"Michael Myers? Who may I ask when I tell Captain Rivers we found a Jedi asking for Myers are you?" The other trooper asked.
"Kenobi. General Obi-Wan Kenobi and it is a very long story that I think only Myers can understand." Obi-Wan said.
"Well, we'll take you down there. This is way beyond our pay levels. Besides, it gets us out of writing traffic tickets to cab drivers that end up being thrown out of court because they always fight it and we can never make it to court because the Captain forgets to send us." One of the troopers said as they walked over to where their car was parked. The two troopers removed their helmets and told Obi-Wan that Stormtroopers are not allowed to wear helmets while driving.
"5-5-5-5 to Central. Show me and 5-5-9-3 going 10-81 to Imperial Operations Center with a VIP for Special Agent Myers." Obi-Wan immediately thought of the Clone Trooper that was known as Fives. It was quite possible to him that Stormtrooper ID numbers were reassigned over the years since this trooper looked nothing like a Jango Fett clone. One in the car, the three set off for downtown where Obi-Wan hoped that someone would have answers to what was going on around here.
