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
OFFICE OF HIGH GENERAL DAVIN FELTH
"Come in." Came the voice of Davin Felth even before Anakin knocked on his door.
"Expecting me?" Anakin asked.
"I thought you were Ryan coming to ask for advice on some case." Davin said.
"You mean the one that Rex and Terrik just caught three suspects in?" This caused Davin to turn.
"Vader?" He asked.
"I'm going by Anakin Skywalker again, Davin. Your trip here around the time Tevin would have been conceived, I have a feeling that I got a sanitized version of your report." Davin went into his desk and pulled out a file.
"It's grown since I got here. Ryan and I have added new info, pictures, and other things. I let Rex borrow it a few weeks ago and Walertin found it funny to add a swimsuit centerfold along with several pages of advertisements. All of which was removed because Firmus found it to be vandalism of my personal property and not funny at all."
"Pictures?" Anakin asked.
"It was discovered when Nate and I got here that our listed contact in Berlin was a coward criminal who took his own life instead of facing his actions. We landed in New Jersey after our ship developed mechanical problems and made our way here. Tevin's mom filled us in on what Adolf did after Palpatine left Berlin. Working here, I was able to get pictures of those crimes. In the 30 years since Endor, this galaxy has become a very different place and our people have adjusted extremely well. Firmus stands out in a big way as an example of this. He no longer explodes at the sight of General Rodgers laying down when he's supposed to be working or when one of our Corporals walks around dressed like a woman." Anakin snickered.
"I didn't know about those things."
"The Corporal is trying to get discharged as a nut and General Rodgers finds laying down a comfortable position to read what he calls over-inflated reports in."
General Joseph Rodgers was in fact laying on the couch in his office reading a copy of a report that seemed like a supermarket gossip magazine or as many Stormtroopers put it, scuttlebutt. He put it down when he heard his phone ring. He hit the speaker.
"This better be important or somebody will find themself on KP and trash detail for a month."
"Sir, 501 guys picked up a man claiming to be a General Obi-Wan Kenobi in Central Park." The voice on the other end said.
"Did you tell Myers? Magically appearing Jedi is his area of expertise and if this is a joke, those 501 guys just bought themselves three months of KP."
"No joke, Sir. They're bringing the man in right now."
"I'll tell Myers." Joe hit the button ending the call and left his office to find Michael who was watching an interrogation.
"Tevin brought this guy in for trying to pawn Corellian freighter parts that weren't his to pawn in the first place. I wonder if he knows any of Terrik's murder suspects or could pick them out of a lineup." Michael said.
"Meanwhile, the 501 is bringing down a guy claiming to be Obi-Wan Kenobi and my desk is covered in scuttlebutt disguised as reports from the fleet."
"If this guy knows anything or anyone, see if Ryan agrees to let him plead out to a lesser charge. Did you say there was someone claiming to be Obi-Wan Kenobi on his way here?"
"Yes I did and I thought you were tuning me out."
"I heard you. Have this person brought to my office and find R2-D2." Michael said as Joe left.
Padme and Krissy Houston were enjoying the sights, sounds, eats, and shopping of New York City.
"Believe it or not. Admiral Piett takes the subway." Krissy said as she and Padme rode a subway train through Manhattan.
"You and your mom?" Padme asked.
"Mom has a car. She won't let me use it. So I take the subway. There's a several year old feud between the Empire and New York City cab drivers that started when the 501st allegedly began stopping them at randon and handing out thousands of dollars in bogus traffic tickets. But, according to A.J. and David Letterman among others. They drive like psychos anyway." They got off the train amid the sounds of Stormtroopers breaking up a fight on the platform between two teenage girls.
"What started this?" Padme asked.
"Anything. More then likely, something that would have found these people on The Jerry Springer Show had they chose to go there instead of fighting on the subway." Padme picked up a lump of hair from the platform and held it between two fingers.
"Who threw their weave?" Krissy asked the girls as a Stormtrooper took the weave from Padme who was more then happy to get rid of it.
"Who threw this? Claim it or you both own it and I add on a littering charge." The trooper said. This caused the girls to start shouting again about how the Empire was tacking on bogus charges in an attempt to start a riot.
"If you try to start a riot, we'll charge you with that too." Another Stormtrooper said. Krissy quickly led Padme towards another exit from the station.
"Those are typical New York City Hood Rats and it probably can be traced back to their homes. It's all over Daytime TV. Parents acting like fools and that's how the kids turn out. I never had that problem because Mom had military training and used it to keep me from turning into that."
"Same thing with being a teenage Queen and Senator." Padme said as a guy tried to restart the fight only to be taken down by a Navy Trooper and a Scout Trooper and handcuffed.
Michael was reading reports when Obi-Wan arrived.
"Myers?" Obi-Wan asked.
"Obi-Wan Kenobi. Anakin was last seen going to see General Felth about something." Michael said as he looked up.
"Given what Anakin knows about this planet now. He probably wanted to know what information was withheld from him by The Emperor. This man told Anakin his own family was dead until somehow they found out about Luke's role at Yavin. He probably told no one who won the war that was going on here when he visited and buried Davin's info on that because he thought it would have given the Rebellion hope." Derik appeared at the door.
"You forgot that Hitler took the coward's way out in the end." He said and gave Michael a folder.
"Also probably buried somewhere." Obi-Wan said.
"Wasn't Palpatine a politician. I've learned over the years that being a politician and being a liar or being a crook often go hand in hand." Michael said reading the contents of the folder.
"Sometimes you find an honest one. Senator Amidala for example." Obi-Wan added.
"Derik, go take Max and annoy the people who run this business for me." Michael told Derik and handed him back the folder. Obi-Wan looked at Michael as if to ask what he meant by annoy.
"Max has a habit of passing bad checks with his mouth and annoying just about everyone here. But, I really have no room to complain when he heard me call someone a bunch of nasty names last week and break down a CEO's door on the grounds that I suspected the guy of being disloyal to his country the week before that since he couldn't explain to me the disappearance of large sums of money." Obi-Wan rolled his eyes. No wonder Michael got along so well with Anakin.
"Where is Anakin?" Obi-Wan asked.
"He went to see General Felth about all the details that were kept from him by our favorite lying politician and Padme is with the Secretary of State's daughter." Michael replied as he heard what sounded like Anakin.
"Actually, I think Anakin's back." Michael grabbed the report he was reading and led Obi-Wan out.
"How did it go with the General? Darnell, send this piece of dirt over for arraignment." Michael gave the report back to Darnell.
"I'm glad I threw him down the reactor core shaft." Anakin said.
"The man was a politician. That tends to go hand in hand with corruption, except for Padme of course." Obi-Wan said.
"Obi-Wan?" Anakin asked.
"Yes, Anakin. It is really me." Anakin laughed at what was behind Obi-Wan. This caused both Obi-Wan and Michael to turn as well as causing Erica to look up from her paperwork.
"Klinger, why are you wearing a wedding dress?" She asked.
"We might need that dress. Actually, it might have to be refitted. This will be a conversation that is better to have in private once Padme gets back." Anakin said.
