Scarlet spent the next few months after helping on Daxan-Beta, looking after Elza Laur, one of her Jedi friends, only to end up doing it for nothing. The Jedi Council was notified of the threat and took the precautions to keep Elza safe. Once Scarlet's help was no longer required, there wasn't much for her to do other than help Shin with bounties. Only, Shin was a little distracted by this "boyfriend" of hers, that was someone Scarlet didn't trust.
Shin had started dating her boyfriend right before Scarlet met her. Every night he would come over and every night Scarlet would be suggested, by Shin's boyfriend, to go to her room. This notion always irritated her because, since she moved in to Shin's apartment, Shin became like a mother to her. This James Satron seemed to give off this sense of darkness, which always surprised Scarlet when Shin never seemed to sense it, that bothered Scarlet no matter what tried to think about when he was around. Even though now Scarlet has been living with Shin for a year and a half she still hasn't become acquainted with James. So one night Scarlet snuck out to see her Senpai for guidance. Krista had told Scarlet that Dark Night had more free time since she had been knighted only Scarlet had a feeling that the extra time Dark Night had would soon be coming to an end, something just told her this. Scarlet met up with Dark Night in a small restaurant in the lower levels, well the lower levels that were above her.
"Senpai!" Scarlet yelled as she run up to give Dark Night a huge squeeze.
"I'm glad to see you too, Scarlet." Dark Night replied. "I'll pay for you."
"No need Senpai. I asked you here so I'll pay for both of us."
"That's really sweet, but…" Dark Night was cut off by Scarlet. "I've got it! Just sit down!"
Dark Night sat down as Scarlet followed. "SO…. about this boyfriend of Shin's. He is a complete jerk! I mean the way he treats her as she does nothing! How does she put up with it?" Scarlet started.
"You seem to have reverted back to your normal self." Dark Night said very observantly.
"Yeah, because someone has to be the sain one at home!"
"Well it sounds like he is using her for something. Have you figured it out, by chance?"
"No… I'm always sent away when they are talking. But I do know he looks similar to that Darien guy we met on our mission on concord dawn."
"What!?" Dark Night yelled out by accident.
"Yeah, he has the same black hair and front hair style. Oh but I have seen his lightsaber he has hanging towards the back of his belt." There is a pause for a moment then Scarlet speaks again. "Wait… DO you have a crush on Darien?" Scarlet asked teasingly.
"Why would you think that?" Dark Night shot back.
"Because one you freaked out when I said that James Satron looked similar to him and you didn't shoot back a No."
"Ok, maybe a little. But that isn't what we're here to talk about."
"You're right, SO...what should I do to help Shin?"
"Just keep an eye on her and if you ever need back up just call."
"Thanks Senpai!"
"You're welcome." Then Dark Night's comlink goes off. "I'm sorry I have to go." Dark Night says as she stands up.
"It's fine. I'll see you soon?" Scarlet said but Dark Night was already out the door.
"Nevermind. I guess I will have to do this alone. Or find a way to expose him to Shin. Like Dark Night would say if she were here, 'May the force be with me'." Once Scarlet stopped talking to herself she left the place and headed home.
