Chapter 3
The sun rose lightening up the planet and spreading rays of beautiful sunshine on the surface. Geejaws started chirping waking the two bounty hunters laying dormant inside their sleeping bags.
"Wake up Jayden" boomed Boba, holding his head due to the hangover. He continued to shake the body laid in the sleeping bag, but Jayden just ignored it until finally Boba pointed a blaster at his head.
"Ok Boba don't get angry I'm getting up you prat." mumbled Jayden. Happy to see him finally awake Boba smiled placing his blaster back in the holster and went on to cook some Galoomp meat over the fire.
"Where did you find that?" asked Jayden. Boba replied "Bought it at the market yesterday, just for free..."
"So you stole it?" questioned Jayden
"Yes..." admitted Boba smiling, they both laughed. After finally cooking the food and removing it from the spit, they cut it in two and placed the meat on a plate each. Reaching over to a crate Jayden pulled out two pairs of knives and forks and handed one set to Bobba, once both of them finished they placed the plates in some water and walked back inside to the holographic projector and viewed some more bounties, after swiping the unwanted ones away he finally stopped and reviewed one of the options.
Bounty

Last known location: Naboo
Reward: 250,000 credits
"Jayden grab your gear, we are going to Naboo." shouted Boba across the room. They grasped their blasters and helmets and exited through the door, walking over to their speeder bikes the two of them mounted and zoomed off towards the location of the Slave II, before taking off and travelling to the planet of Naboo. After looking further at the bounty the duo decided it would be best to start at the city of Theed. Following them landing at the star port of Theed and being assigned to bay 43 they dropped the ramp to the Slave II and walked down it towards the exit of the bay into the city. Turning on his targeting device on his mandalorian armour he scanned around the streets as they walked, looking for the target but of course no luck.
"This might be a difficult one to track down Jayden." said Boba.
"Can I just ask Boba? Why the hell are there GeeJaws on Rori!"
"I don't know they escaped from the market?" he replied, before walking down an ally signalling Jayden to continue on his path down the main street. Jayden felt a sudden rush of nerves and gripped his blaster though still holstered his grip tightened and his palm moisturised due to perspiration dripping. It was a strange feeling... the feeling of being watched. Frantically looking around, at people, at rooftops, anywhere someone could be hiding but have a clear view of him. Someone grabbed his shoulder Jayden gasped but when he turned around stood there was Boba.
"Phew!" Jayden let out a sigh of relief.
"Whats the matter?" inquired Boba.
"Nothing just a strange feeling, that I felt yesterday at the market aswell." After Jayden relayed this information Boba started to scan the rooftops, looking around like a hawk.
"Whats the matter?" asked Jayden
"I know who it is, Someone is after you Jayden."
"Who?" Jayden said while looking around aswell.
"It's not safe here we need to get inside." advised Boba. Once the two of them got inside of the tavern next to them, Boba walked up to the bar tender and asked for a room upstairs. The bar tender gestured Jayden and Boba upstairs to the room and held his hand out awaiting credits. Once the bar tender had being payed and the keys handed over, Boba told Jayden to sit on the bed before sitting beside him and taking off his helmet.
"A couple of years ago, I worked for the Galactic Empire."
"Yes I remember Boba, all of the jedi contracts and my training."
"Do you remember Darth Vader?"
"Yes?" relied Jayden unsure.
"Well I betrayed him and he put me in Kessel."
"Now I have broke out he swore to make me pay once I was free by taking my closest thing to a son."
"So he sent someone to kill me?" replied Jayden confused and in disbelief.
"Not just anyone. A sith named the Inquisitor, a couple of well... Inquisitors exist and their purpose is to find and kill the remaining jedi, but now they are used for Vader's dirty work." Jayden shook his head trying to take all of this information in while listening to Boba in the process.
"For now the current bounty is off, we need to get you to safety."
"Can't we just kill him?" commented Jayden.
"NO! Then he will send another Inquisitor before hunting you himself." announced Boba. Jayden took off his helmet as his jaw dropped, they both knew they were in it now.
BOUNTY CANCELED
After closing the bounty Boba knew he had to return to somewhere safe not for his safety but for Jayden's. Because of the danger Boba felt the need to father him even more than he had before however he was now sixteen and well over the age of pure fathering and comforting. Jayden stayed sat on the bed waiting for Boba to beckon him to follow, he diddn't want to do anything in case the Inquisitor was well on the case. The two exited the building trying to blend in with the crowd keeping their heads down. They mingled with a large group that walked them straight into the star port to bay 43 to retrieve the Slave II. Once aboard they both sat at the cockpit pushing and pulling levers kicking the engines into action before blasting off into orbit to find a blockade of star destroyers. Boba almost defecated in his underwear and slammed on full throttle.
