Chapter Sixteen: Typho becomes involved
"How did you manage to get the Chancellor to agree?" Ahsoka asked.
"My dear girl, we senators have our ways." Padmé said with smile as she, Anakin, Sola and Ahsoka sat on the couches.
"Well done, milady." Anakin said proudly.
"Thank you master Skywalker." Padmé said stealing glances with her husband.
Ahsoka and Sola exchanged annoyed glances.
"Can you stop with that? We have security to reinforce." Ahsoka said sternly causing Anakin and Padmé to look at her and nod.
"What do we do? Head back to Naboo?" Sola asked.
"No. We can control the situation from here on Coruscant." Anakin said rising from the sofa and pulling up with him.
"I think it's about time we brought Typho into this. He is the Head of the Naboo security force after all." Padmé said with a sly smile.
Ahsoka pulled out her comlink and headed it Padmé.
"Captain Typho come in, this is Senator Amidala."
After a few seconds Gregar Typho appeared in hologram form.
"Milady, how can I be of service?" Typho asked as he bowed to Padmé.
"We need your help with getting more security in order to stop Asajj Ventress." Padmé explained.
"When you say 'we' who do you mean?" Typho asked in a suspicious tone.
"I'm talking about Padawan Tano, Master Skywalker and you remember my sister Ambassador Sola Naberrie." Padmé said stealing glances with each one of her companions.
"Oh yes how could I not remember Lady Naberrie." Typho grumbled.
Sola clenched her fists in disgust.
Ever since Typho had taken over from his uncle Panaka, Sola and Typho were always at each other's throats. They both had different views on what Padmé had chosen to do after her term as Queen expired.
"Can we NOT get into this argument now? We have other things to worry about that are much more important." Padmé said breaking up the argument that hadn't even started.
"Sorry Senator Amidala. What plan did you have in mind?"
Padmé explained what had happened with the Senate and the way that Palpatine had no choice but to agree to it.
"That's a really good idea." Typho said nodding after Padmé finished explaining her plan.
"I have been wanting to hunt down Ventress for ages but I've been too afraid to do so knowing she would kill me."
"True. We need to get the security to Naboo ASAP." Anakin said exchanging looks with his wife, Padawan and sister-in-law.
"Just say the word and I'll be there." Typho said with a smile that was aimed at Padmé.
No one knew that Typho was in love with Padmé and would do absolutely anything to keep her safe. He, like Ellé, Motée, Ahsoka and Sola knew of Anakin and Padmé's secret marriage. He was wary of Anakin knowing that someday something would happen to Anakin in terms of 'bad' would happen to Padmé and he would personally blame Anakin for it.
"The apartment in 10 minutes." Sola said in a stern voice.
Typho nodded and the Hologram shut off.
"That's settled. Now we need to figure out how to get the security onto the planet without being detected by Ventress." Anakin said exchanging looks with Padmé and Ahsoka.
10 minutes later Typho arrived at the apartment and the foursome immediately started making plans to get the security back to Naboo without being detected by Ventress. It didn't take them long to work out a suitable plan.
"So we use the entrance to Gunga City?" Ahsoka asked of Anakin.
"Yeah. That sounds about right."
Ahsoka thought about the plan before speaking up again.
"Right, so where do I fit into all of this." She asked knitting her hairless eyebrows together.
Anakin looked up at Sola and Padmé before exchanging belief glances with Typho.
"You will be the bait." Anakin said smugly causing Padmé and Sola to snigger under their breaths.
"I heard that my ladies." Ahsoka said completely unimpressed.
Anakin rolled his eyes in annoyance. Did his Padawan have to be so difficult?
"Ok fine. You win, master." Ahsoka said raising her hands in defeat.
Anakin sniggered. "Let it go, Snips. Let it go." Anakin sighed.
Ahsoka rolled her eyes before getting to her feet making the others follow suit.
"To Naboo?" She asked each of her companions.
"To Naboo." The others repeated in agreement.
They headed out of the apartment but not before checking that the coast was clear and they headed down to the landing bay and boarded the Twilight.
