CH 12

Obi Wan had once been a Jedi, well maybe not a Jedi, Jedi but close enough. And as loath as he was to admit it this above all else would allow him to not only fool the two Jedi Masters but wrap the whole order around his finger as well if need be.

Perhaps however it was the Sith holocron of Darth Vulcanus that had helped him in this case after all according to him to know thigh enemy and to know how it thinks is too have won a battle far greater than if one had a force ten to his enemies one.

He dialed a frequency on his holo waiting for a response.

He didn't have to wait long. The callous face and torso of Jango Fett appeared. He was dressed in his usual mandalorian garb. "What is it?"

"Now, now is that any way to treat a superior my dear friend?"

Fett cursed under his breath. "What does your excellence require of its humble servant my lord." Fett's voice dripped in sarcasm lacing his entire statement with malice.

"Let us not forget," Obi Wan drawled, "that if not for me you would still be on Daian in the Captivity of very gracious hosts who were planning to devour you for breakfast. Even bounty hunters know how to repay debts I dare say, especially mandalorians, and yours is quite a hefty one."

Jango muttered something unintelligible under his breath. "What's the job?"

Obi Wan smirked. "Send one of your mandalorian friends on Naboo to me."

"I'm not hearing a mission," Jango hissed

"Let's just say I need a distraction, I will be doing the real killing."

Jango bowed his head in assent, "I will send a contact already doing a job on Naboo they should be free tonight the name is Jord."

"Very good, tell him to meet me in the east wing of the palace. Kenobi out." He cut off the transmission. Indebting people to himself had been a most successful endeavor and now he could just collect the debts with interest.


Jord was punctual arriving within the hour. He was a changeling thin green good for scouting missions but not very durable. "My lord," he hissed bowing.

Obi Wan smirked. There was no question in how this slime ball moved through the ranks. He didn't all he did was lick the boots of his current master. This was an interesting find.

Jord squirmed under Obi Wan's scrutiny. To him the pail young man with cold blue eyes and dark hair seemed to be peering right into his soul and seeing his darkest and deepest secrets.

"Your mission will be simple, assassinate the Queen of Naboo within the hour."

Jord flinched at the voice. "I will try but if I fail?" he hissed.

The possibility of attempting an assassination was high but to succeed meant that the two Jedi masters were even weaker than he had initially thought. Jord of course didn't have to know that. He put a hand on Jord's shoulder, who flinched at the touch and said "There is no try do or do not."

Walking away he smiled as he felt the changeling slink away through the force. Now all he had to do was kill the head of the Naboo intergalactic negotiations.


Andel Hek was not a man who got sick easily. Though only in his mid-fifties, he took his daily vitamins and tablets as the doctor prescribed. So he was surprised when he suddenly felt dizzy. The whole world began to tilt. He suddenly felt something sharp in the heart as if the blood was still and not circulating properly. He tried to call for help, for a doctor. But the guards seemed to have run off in the opposite direction away from the door as if something had occurred. Then all was darkness.


Mace felt himself getting closer to an answer. Exactly which one he did not know but he was close to something in the force. Suddenly he felt danger immediate, insisting. He rushed to the Queens chambers not running but flying through the hallways. Halfway up the grand staircase he was joined by Qui Gon who blessed with long legs was taking the stairs two at a time.

Before the door Qui Gon and Mace shared a nod. No words were needed. Mace kicked open the door and Qui Gon rushed in front of him his blade hissing open. He deflected the bullet aimed at the Queens head precisely. Mace jumped out the window force propelling himself onto the flat roof of the room opposite the Queens chambers.

The assassin yelped as he saw Mace land in front of him. "Jedii iii?" He stuttered dropping his sniper rifle. Mace smiled ferally, he must indeed look intimidating to the assassin almost blending in the dark with his light saber giving him a freakish hue.

Working this to his advantage he grabbed the assassin and inched the light saber to his throat. So who sent you?

The assassin hesitated. Mace felt a sense of betrayal bleed into the force from the assassin. The assassin revealed to be a changeling as he pulled of his bandana was about to answer before….

Elsewhere, on the balcony of the now dead Andel Hek, Obi Wan took out a detonator. He had known the assassin would be caught so he had place a nano explo on the assassin and now that the force whispered to him a new danger. A danger that the assassin would soon reveal him, he pressed the button….

Mace felt a sharp danger in the force it told him to throw the changeling down. Not waiting for further instructions Mace grabbed the lizard and threw him down the twenty six story palace. A huge explosion followed.

Qui Gon reaching the other side by staircase looked at Mace with worried eyes. Captain Panaka and Lieutenant Kenobi out of breath joined them. "I have added extra guards around the palace." Said the captain hopefully whoever it was will not try again knowing that there are two Jedi here.

Mace frowned, all of Naboo knows of our presence how could this bounty hunter not know of our presence?

"Captain I will go see if our security has any footage of how the assassin entered the palace." Obi Wan frowned. "Master Jedi," he bowed, "Your presence saved her highness we are greatly indebted."

The Captain nodded. "Yes Master Jedi thank you perhaps the assassin was sloppy and we will see who was behind this whole farce."

The evidence found pointed that the assassin must have been working alone hired perhaps by the family who opposed the house of Amidala, this however could not be confirmed so all charges were dropped. The next day Andel Hek was found dead. The doctors deduced it was from a heart attack probably produced by stress since Andel Hek was relatively healthy.

Obi Wan Kenobi turned on the holo net in his room to be greeted by the smiling face of Senator Palpatine who had won an almost unanimous vote in the senate. Kenobi smiled. Yes it was nice when the force was your ally.
