~Rex's POV~
I walked through the ship's cafeteria, looking for somewhere to sit. I hadn't gone far, when Cody noticed me and waved me over. I quickly joined him.
"How is Gwen doing?" I politely asked.
"Great. Did you know that her disk thing on her belt can give her breaking news from her home planet?" Cody pushed his food around with his fork.
"Really? What was the article on?" I paused suddenly wondering, if it could be informational.
"Funny, really. It was about Gwen. No one knows where she is. From what they were saying, they found something of hers across the street from where her cousin lived. Beyond that, their clueless." Cody watched me closely for a reaction.
"But, that doesn't make since. Surely someone at their port noticed her leave the planet." I shook my head in disbelief.
"Yea, I know right? Something else is going on here. I just feel it." Cody muttered as he spooned his peas up.
Kix and Jesse joined us while he thoughtfully chewed on is food. I politely nodded a greeting to my brothers.
"Hey guys. Did you hear what the Chancellor is doing to help with the war effort?" Jesse asked interest sparkling in his eyes.
Cody immediately choked on his food.
"That's it!" Cody gasped loudly.
Everyone else in the cafeteria turned to stare at him.
"Eeh, sorry, go back to what you were doing." Cody blushed at the embarrassment.
"What's it?" Kix asked.
Cody quickly updated them on what he had discovered earlier.
"The article said that she was the Wrench's granddaughter. I asked her what that meant. She compared him to both General Yoda, and the Chancellor. Rivals could easily kidnap her to get him to bend. That's why she won't tell us who was with her. She was with bounty hunters that were paid to take her away. So that someone can hold her for ransom. Only something happened and she escaped." Cody started to stand up.
"Whoa there, you need to slow down. I mean that could not be what happened." Kix raised his hands up in a slow down gesture.
"I know, I know. But it is the most likely thing that happened." Cody sighed in defeat.
~Obi-wan's POV~
Duchess Satine and Padme were telling us about the discovery of a conspiracy amongst Satine's court. Only, they do not know who the head is. And was wondering if we could provide someone to teach their young how to spot a conspiracy and report it.
"Someone close to their age preferably. Maybe even a Jedi." Satine glanced over at Padme, who nodded in agreement.
"I believe we have a proposition for you. Padawan Ahsoka Tano is on board and can be briefed for the mission quickly. However, Padawan Gwen Tennyson is a bit new to our galaxy and might actually benefit from the lessons has well. We will send both to you. If that is all right with you Anakin." I glanced over at the younger male.
"Sounds good to me. I will go tell Padawan Tano about this right away." Anakin nodded in agreement, before turning to leave, "Good-bye Senator, Duchess."
"Good-bye Jedi knights." They quoted solemnly together.
A/N: Whew! Got that done! Ok, it is two days late, not one day late like I had anticipated… Oh well, nothing we can do there!
Korkie will be making an appearance in the next chapter. Also, I belief we are almost done with this story…
See ya!
