The two droids shot at him and Obi-Wan dodged as best he could. The three men at the end of the alley also started shooting as they ran away. Obi-Wan was really wishing he had his lightsaber as the shots barely missed him. He managed to jump off the side of a building and kick the first droid into the wall. It sputtered and died. Obi-Wan moved onto the second, dodging the laser fire sent his way. Obi-Wan noticed a second too late that there were in fact three droids, not two and saw too late that the hidden one had shot at him.
Obi-Wan tried his best to dodge but knew that it was going to hit him. He was surprised when instead of feeling a hot burn of being hit, he felt the solid body of the thief crash into him. She pushed his lightsaber into his hand as they collapsed to the ground. Obi-Wan rolled back to his feet and ignited the lightsaber, reflecting fire into the one droid. He used the building again to leap at the last droid, cutting it in half with a backhand swing. He landed near the thief and run up to her. She was still laying facedown the ground. Obi-Wan gently rolled her over and saw that she had been hit with the blast that had been meant for him.
Obi-Wan was trying to get a better look at her wound, her hand grasping her side. She had been hit mid-abdomen and her hand was firmly in place on the wound.
"Obi-Wan, I didn't mean to take your saber. I was only wanting your cloak," she said to him grimacing.
Obi-Wan looked at her strangely, how did she know his name?
"What did you need the cloak for?" he asked softly pulling her hand back from the wound. He then started folding back the corners of the tunic around the wound.
"I was cold," Obi-Wan was startled. He had been so annoyed with the thief and all she had wanted was some warmth.
"Well don't worry about it, lets just get you fixed up. You saved my life you know," Obi-Wan looked into her eyes again, but they were closed. "No, no, no, don't fall asleep. Hey, wake up," Obi-Wan patted her cheek softly and she opened her eyes again.
"Don't fall asleep okay, you need to stay conscious. Who were those men? What did they want? Hey, wake up," Obi-Wan tried to keep the thief awake but her injuries were starting to get the better of her. He picked her up and rushed back to the ship. There he would be able to treat her.
Once on the ship Obi-Wan put the young women down on the medical bay table and activated a medical droid to help him with treating her injuries. He commanded the droid to check her injury and bio readings with the scanner while he started to clean the wound and apply bacta.
"The wound is not very serious, but it appears that the blaster had been tainted with poison," the droid told Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan knew that he would be unable to treat something like that and contacted Qui-Gon.
"Obi-Wan, did you find your saber?" Qui-Gon asked.
"Yes master, but the thief who took it was injured in the process. Master I don't really have time to explain but while I was apprehending her, the thief that is, three seeker droids found me and opened fire. The thief threw herself in front of a bolt that was meant for me and was severely injured. Those droids were programmed to kill me master, someone is after us. The bolt that hit the thief was poisoned. Master, if I don't get her medical attention soon, she may die," Obi-Wan explained to his master.
Qui-Gon took a minute to get back to him. He needed his padawan but the thief had saved his padawan's life and it would be wrong to just let her die. There were no real medical centers here on the asteroid and Qui-Gon knew the ones that were would way overcharge and have no real medical personnel.
"These droids are disturbing news. Bring her back to the temple and get her treated, I will stay here and investigate the droids. I have a feeling that our bounty hunter may be behind this."
"Yes, master," Obi-Wan ran to the cockpit and started up the ship and took off. He punched in Coruscant's coordinates and then jumped into hyperspeed. He let the autopilot take control and then went back to the med-centre to check on his thief.
Obi-Wan was quite shocked at the difference in her skin color. Instead of her skin being the shimmering silver he had seen in the alley, it was now a gentle hue of gold. Ob-Wan gently checked the blaster wound and was surprised to see it was already healing. Ob-Wan looked up from his inspection to brilliant dark eyes gazing back at him.
