Cradle to Grave

''

A/N: 71-75 is part of an AU set with Obi-Wan as a shop-keeper on Tatooine.

73, hopeful

Qui-Gon permitted his Padawan to remain behind while he escorted the Queen back to the ship. Anakin wandered Anchorhead, taking in the sights, listening in on gossip, but somehow always ending back at Kenobi's Kiosk…

Mid-afternoon, he spied a shifty-looking Toydarain entering the shop. A few minutes and some shouting later, it shuffled out, muttering curses.

With intense concentration, the Jedi could make out a few words:

"Pah! Slaves as good as credits… The Hutts will teach him… He'll see…"

Eventually the creature drifted out of earshot.

But Anakin had heard enough. With a grim smile, he entered Kenobi's Kiosk.

Thanks rocketscientist, Live Fast Die Never, TriGemini, Gandalf -Dumbledore -Obi-Wan and Verity Kindle for the kind reviews.

Sorry for the slow updates but for some reason this week isn't 'flowing' as they usually are. Hopefully, I'll complete the last 2 in the set tomorrow.
