Chapter 11: Checking In

Later

On the Ghost at Chopper Base, Atollon

Time now: 20:00, Imperial Standard Time

Sabine's P.O.V

I was painting in my room after another mission was completed. I was working on a piece that where I took inspiration from ancient Mandalorian paintings, and I would say that it is coming along nicely as my artistic vision predicted. I heard a knock at my door while painting it. "Come in." I said.

The door opened, revealing Hera. "What is it?" I asked her. "I just wanted to say goodnight to you, Sabine. And just to let you know, we're leaving for Earth tomorrow morning to get Ezra. Get some rest, you'll need it for tomorrow." Hera informed. "Goodnight to you as well, Hera." "Sweet dreams." She left, and since I didn't want to go to sleep yet, I decided to keep on working on my painting.

While working more on it, my door slid open, Alex walking in. "Where were you?" I asked him. "Speaking to Ezra, and practicing my combat skills on my own." Alex replied. "And speaking of Ezra, Sabine, he did say that he'd like to check in with you before we go to bed." I nodded, and grabbed my commlink, which I had next to my bed.

"Ezra, you there?" I spoke into it. "Hey, Sabine." he replied. "How's things on Earth?"

"Okay for the most part. I listened to Earth music, I ended up driving an Earth vehicle that Jacob and I were taking, and we have another good 5 and a half hours of driving left to the location that I sent Alex earlier." "That's good to here. How's the drive?"

"The drive's not bad. The Earth vehicle that I ended up driving felt like driving a regular speeder in our galaxy. I saw some more parts of this part of Earth where we are, ate some Earth food that Jacob had me try, which was good actually where we ate dinner earlier, and now we are in a hotel room about to go to sleep for the night." "What time is it for you?"

"About almost 22:00. We plan on waking up early and driving the rest of the way." "I'm just glad to here that you're okay, Ezra."

"I know. Trust me, I'm just glad that I'm alive on this planet after all of the things we've been through after that guy came to Atollon earlier. Speaking of him, did he end up harming either of you?" "No, Ezra, he didn't actually, luckily. He didn't even give the location of our base away to the Empire, claiming he didn't want to get involved in a civil war between rebels and imperials. What's important is that we all are okay." "Right. Anyway, Sabine, I gotta go. We gotta wake up early tomorrow for the rest of the drive. When are you coming by the way?"

"We'll try to make it to the location tomorrow. We're all going to bed now, then we'll leave the base early in the morning, and we'll get you and Jacob off the planet." "I hope to see you tomorrow. Goodnight, Sabine."

"One more thing. Please, Ezra, be careful, and watch out for the one who came to Atollon earlier before he took you and Jacob in case he's still out there."

"I will. Goodnight, Sabine." "Goodnight, Ezra. Specter 5 out."

"Specter 6 out."

I put my commlink down, and crawled into bed on my bunk below Alex. "Goodnight, Bine." he said. "Night, Alex." I replied. Then we were off to sleep.
