On Lothal the rebels searched Capital City and all the surrounding cities all morning. Then around noon they split up. Kanan searching Capital City, Hera in the air, and Sabine and Zeb checking the nearby cities.
Kanan decided to search Ezra's old home, deciding that it would be a good place for Ezra to go if he wanted them to find him. He was so hopeful when he opened the door...Ezra just had to be there! It was the only possible, logical place for him to be! The door opened...nothing...but there was still hope! The basement! Kanan moved the stool and slid down the stairs to the basement below. Glancing around he let out a sigh as he realized Ezra wasn't here. But if he wasn't here then where was he? Where would he be?
"Specter two this is specter one. I need a lift. Specter one's not here." Kanan said over his communicator.
"Copy that specter one. I'm on my way. Specter four and five have yet to report what they've found." Hera replied.
Kanan sighed. it was like Ezra just disappeared into thin air! But he had to be around here somewhere! He could feel him! He just...couldn't find him.
Sabine checked three cities before stopping for lunch. She'd asked several people if they'd seen Ezra, even checked the Emperial holonet and data files for any clues as to where Ezra might be, but nothing... After she rested and ate a light lunch she continued her search through two more cities. Deciding that that was enough for the day, even though she wanted to continue searching but she was exhausting herself, she radioed Hera.
"Specter two this is specter four. I've searched Hanez, Daniu, Soful, Jaide, and Frawn. No signs of specter six. I even searched through some Emperial files, but I found nothing. Can I get a lift?" Sabine spoke on her communicator.
"On my way specter four. I already picked up specter one and five. Neither of them found anything on specter six either. We'll rest up tonight then head back out tomorrow." Hera replied.
"Great, another day of searching! We had better find Ezra before I kill him for making my feet sore!" Sabine complained to herself.
Once they landed on Lothal and Ezra got off the ship the pilot took off as fast as possible. More than likely wanting to get as far away as possible before Sean possibly came after him. Ezra chuckled and watched him leave, then turned to focus on the task at hand. Finding Kanan, or anyone on the Ghost crew for that matter before he got caught by an Emperial...or the Inquisitor...or Agent Kallus.
"You know what, better not even think about getting caught or I'll scare myself." Ezra said to himself. It would be best to just avoid being seen by the Empire instead of worrying about being caught by the Empire.
First, he searched the obvious places for the Ghost crew. The bar where they often went for intel, Tarkin town, the field where they usually parked the Ghost, his old tower, and last but definitely not least his old home. Ezra entered it and could almost feel the presence of his master, but not quite. He wandered around the room, looking for nothing in particular, then went down to the basement. Wait! The stool had been moved! Kanan had been here! Or one of them had been anyway! Even though they were gone that meant they were looking for him! And if he was looking for them too then they should find each other that much faster right?
It was getting dark so Ezra decided it would be best to just stay at his old home for the night. And who knew, maybe the Ghost crew would check here again! But if not he'd just stay here in Capital City keeping an eye out for them. Hopefully they'd come or find him before he ran out of food and credits, but if they didn't he'd need to come up with a plan to survive. Like he had on the streets before. Yeah, he'd lived on the streets before and he could do this! He would survive while he waited for the Ghost crew returned. No, he wouldn't just survive, he'd test his Jedi skills, freshen up on his street skills, and show the Empire what a "lothrat" can do! They could call him an insurgent, but in truth Ezra was a rebel street orphan who would leave his mark on Lothal! Whether it left him dead or alive!
Sorry that this chapter is shorter, but I'm fixing to go out of town and I just wanted to do one last update for you guys! SO the next update probably won't be up till Monday or Tuesday because when I get back Sunday I'll probably be to tired from traveling to even care. Also if I got the specter's numbers wrong it'd be great if you could let me.
With dearest regards,
