Dooku, Yoda, Mace, Tahl, and the other Jedi searched Anu for Qui-Gon, splitting up and asking locals if they had seen him.

"Excuse me, ma'am."

The woman turned to Dooku.

"Yes?"

"Have you see a boy, about twelve years old with short, dark brown hair, a small ponytail in the back, and a braid behind his right ear?"

The woman thought for a moment.

"Yes. I have. He's one of Jareth's new slaves."

"Where can I find him? I can put his address into my data pad."

The woman gave him the address. He thanked her and hurried back to the transport, contacting the others.

They went to Jareth's plantation.

"How can I help you, Jedi?" the big man asked.

"A slave of yours, a boy. He's about twelve, has short, dark brown hair, a small ponytail in the back, and a braid behind his right ear."

The big man was surprised but sent for Qui-Gon.

Dooku swallowed hard at his Padawan's appearance.

"Qui-Gon!"

The boy looked up, his eyes brigtened, and he ran into his Master's arms with strength only the Force could have given him.

"Master!"

Dooku gently embraced the boy, feeling the bones in his body.

"Oh, Force, what has he done to you, child?"

Dooku rose and looked Jareth in the eye.

"I command you to release my Padawan."

He nudged the man's mind with a mind trick.

"You will release him."

"I release him."

Qui-Gon was released.

"Wait. I can't leave without Jacob. He's my friend."

"Bring Jacob to us and release him as well."

Jacob was brought to them and released.

They left on the transport, Dooku carrying a sleeping Qui-Gon to the transport.

As Qui-Gon slept, Dooku spoke with Jacob.

"Thank you for helping my Padawan."

"No problem. I couldn't not help him. He never gave up hope that you would find him," Jacob said, giving the tall Knight a smile.

Dooku returned the smile.

"Still, thank you. He may not have survived this long if not for you. If you ever need help, look us up at the Jedi Temple on Curoscant."

Jacob nodded.

"I will."

Dooku went in and sat beside his Padawan, healing him as best he could with the Force, and Qui-Gon slept peacefully for the first time in three months for he knew his Master was with him.
