A/N Ok here it is. Just what you asked for. And thank you so much for reviewing. If you want me to post another chapter, you have to review. Here you go. Enjoy!

The wind should be soft. It should be wafted to your nose and tickle your fancy with the delightful scents of roses and lavender. This was not the wind. It threw my hair back violently, and hoisted clumps of coarse rough sand into my sensitive eyes. The sun scorched my skin and left me burning in the after math.

Even if someone had tried to speak, they wouldn't have been heard over the roar of the engine and the rushing of the burning wined. I didn't make a sound. My mouth would have filled with sand if I did.

A couple of miles from where we landed, we found Mos Eisley. The space port for vandals and criminals, rodents, and scum of the galaxy. A haven for anyone who doesn't want to be found.

Most of Tatooine was like this. And if you knew how to survive, the dusty desert would welcome you with open arms. If you didn't, the wilderness would eat you alive. Even as a Jedi, very few could survive in this climate of people, dry arid land, and danger. And Ahsoka wasn't one of them.

Shut up!

We walked through the crowds of people, fitting in well with the majority. We may have had the force on our side but it could only hide us so much. That's why disguises also worked well.

Being back here brought memories. Not entirely nice ones. Or maybe they would have been nice, if mom was still alive.

I could sense the emotions of the council. Confused, weary, and weak. They were at a loss for what to do. I wasn't. I was used to crime filled planets like this. It was where I was most comfortable.

I walked through the throngs of people. I knew exactly where I was going. I was thankful Tatooine hadn't changed that much. My feet carried me to the space cantina. I'd only been here one other time on a mission and before that, the last time I had been here was when I was a boy. I guess somethings never die.

When we walked in, we split up. If we had stayed together, it would be too suspicious. Like this, we just looked like an afternoon rush, which wasn't all that uncommon if I remember correctly. I was one of the few Jedi who went up to the bar for a drink. It wasn't common when Jedi drank...well, most Jedi anyway. Ah, the joys of being over twenty one.

I walked away with my drink in hand and went over to a card table. I sat down and looked at the inhabitants. A thug, a mercenary, and an off work bounty hunter. Perfect.

The thug was in charge. "Alright, we all know the rules of the game. I'll be dealing. I place two hundred fifty credits. And from there, everyone began placing bets. The bounty hunter matched the thugs two hundred fifty.

"I'll place a bet. Bounty hunter, If I win, you have to give me information. Any information I want. You can keep the spare change." Maybe.

"And if I win?"

"You get my ship."

"Deal."

Or I'll just kill you. Either way, easy info.

Slam. Slam. Slam. Slam. Card after card slammed down with the owners first upon the table. Drink after drink came and went. It got everyone babbling in a matter of minutes. Including the bounty hunter, who was currently boasting about a particularly difficult kill. Unless you were a mercenary bounty hunter, you weren't amongst the groups of the very smart.

I got lucky. On the last round, I got straight aces. I'd won. I smirked, took the money and motioned for the bounty hunter to follow me. When I got him into a room and sat him down, I shut and locked the door. He was too drunk to notice. They were all to drunk to notice. Maybe the bounty hunter would be to drunk to notice I wasn't one of them of I acted like they did. It was worth a shot.

"Where's the brat?"

"Huh?"

'That Jedi chit we captured."

"Oh yeah. Her. What about the kid?"

"The master wants to see her immediately."

"Oh. Can't figure what he'd want with the kid. He said she was more or less useless."

"Well, he wants her now. And he said you would know where to find her."

"Yeah. I left her at the camp."

The camp?

"Go home and get yourself cleaned up. You don't look so good."

I was about to walk out of the room. I wouldn't kill him. He wasn't the one who took her. But...why let him know I was looking for her? I turned around and stood right in front of him.

"What-"

"Look me in the eyes bounty hunter."

I slammed him into the wall with the force and gagged him. I threw back my hood. I invaded his mind for a moment, confirming what he had said. I backed out of his mind, dragging two memories along with me. I looked at him one last time.

"This never happened."

I turned on my heel and walked out. He wouldn't remember Ahsoka or this conversation. I was planning to lose the council and ditch them here. I couldn't risk the council finding out where I was going. It would disrupt the whole mission. Besides, there was no one left for me to kill. There would be no one there. No reason letting them know what I had done when nothing else could possibly happen.

I walked in sight of the cantina and made the signal. The council met up with me in a matter of ten minutes. And Mace Windu, the prick, spoke first.

"You left the council, threatened and probably tortured someone for information, and you did all this without informing us."

"Oh for the forces sake, now you are treating me like a padawan! So I have to let you catalog my every move? Is it ok if I breath master Windu? I'm going to spar master Windu. I'm going on a mission Master Windu just thought I might let you know! I swear I'd have to ask your permission before I died. You say the dumbest things. I swear. If you could grow hair you would be blonder than me! Now if you are through acting like a pompous jealous idiot than we can actually get to work and find my padawan."

"You should be grateful Skywalker, that we accompanied you at all."

"I didn't want you to accompany me to begin with! I'm more than capable of finding my padawan by myself. Get your story straight Windu. You and the council were the ones who wanted to come along. I was the one saying you didn't have to. Stop being a prick because we don't have time for this. I have a padawan to find."

I walked away and left them but I felt a hand on my arm. I was thinking about chopping off the hand of the said owner. Let them see what a mechanical hand felt like!

"Anakin, what information did you find?"

I sighed. Luminara was a fierce fighter but she had never been fierce to me. She always tried to defuse me. I kept on wondering why Obi-wan was still being so quiet because if it wasn't her, it would have been him. So what was holding him back? I sighed.

"I found out that Ahsoka is being kept at Jabba's palace in room 1211."

I snapped my head up to look at Mace Windu. "Have fun."

I turned on my heel and walked away briskly, aware I was going to be followed. Big mistake. Do not try to follow someone who knows the territory better than you do. You will just get lost. I knew they were following me to see where I would go. To see what I would do. Why I wasn't trying to help them find my padawan. They must be stupid.

It took me all of five minutes to lose them completely. They had nowhere to trace my trail in the throng of the huge crowd. Ha, I knew where I was going. They didn't know anything. Not the planet nor the terrain. Nor anything else about Tattoine. They could track anyone anywhere. But not me. Not here. Not right now. Right now, I was the master. I was going to find my padawan.

I knew well she wasn't at Jabba's palace. Room 1211 was actually the guest room that all guests were taken to. They would make up an excuse to be there. Or at least, Obi-wan would. And there was always the Jedi Jabba treaty to discuss. Maybe they could come to a head on that. At least it would give them something to do. It would keep them busy.

I walked through the busy streets. Tatooine hadn't changed. It still stank and the people here were still greedy and cruel. But than again, so was I. I was thankful that they were greedy. That was something that I knew I could use to my advantage.

I stole an open motor speeder and took off. I couldn't be giving any trace of where I was going and motor speeders left barely any trail and unless you were directly following the trace of sand in the air, they were impossible to find. And the sand dissipated quickly.

I couldn't have the council following me. I couldn't even have Obi-wan following me. This was something I had to do alone. Absolutely...alone.

The road was very much the same as it was back than. Lonely hot harsh and unyielding. The sun beat down on me mercilessly and the night chilled my skin. But I couldn't feel the burn of the sun nor the bite of the cold. This was more important than heat or sand or cold.

I felt it before I saw. That black hole in the force. The cold black void was almost overwhelming in its intensity. I got off the bike and began walking through the camp.

Bones crunched under my feet, the carcasses already decayed down to their frames. That was when it hit me. My feet never stopped crunching. How many people had I killed?

I looked around but found no new huts. They were all old. So how could they be keeping her here if she was nowhere to be seen?

I walked around every side and that's when I saw through the same hole I had cut to find my mother all those years ago. I could see Ahsoka.
