Next chapter. this is about 9 months later when Boba is 6 years old.
Jango wasn't going to let this bounty slip though his fingers. 100,000 credits dead or alive for a senator that was involved in a plot to kill off the chancellor.
Jango had tracked the corrupt senator to a lone planet. Now he is supposedly has a bunch of thugs guarding him. He taken Zam along because he wasn't stupid. Any ways he was starting to like having her around.
When they arrived at the planet, no check points or asking for codes. Zam loaded he gun and nodded. "I'm ready."
Jango nodded and put on his mask as they landed.
So I guess this is the place. a big estate with towers and a garden. He also saw guards, lots of them. All of them looked like people you find in trash cans.
"So this is how a senator lives his final days? Alone in his house guarded by lowy thugs." Zam whispered.
"Let go around back." Jango said. Quietly they stalked thought he bushes. when they go to the back wall two guards were conversing there. Jango pulled out his blaster and shot both. Then Jango loaded a cable and shot it. The cable attached itself to the top of wall. Almost without thinking he rapped his free arm around Zam's waist and the cable pulled both of them up.
"Thanks Jango." Zma said when Jango put her down of top of the wall. "But I could of gotten up by myself."
Jango blushed deeply under his helmet. "Lets keep going." he said gruffly, trying to cover up his mistake.
Zam rolled her eyes and jumped down after Jango. But soon everything was starting to look odd. they encountered no guards. Until they tripped over about 15 or 16 of them dead.
"Who did this?" Zam asked when she started to study one of bodies. Jango bent down too and studied the blst mark that killed them. Wait blast marks?Jango stood up quickly and nodded for her to follow. They ran to the house. When they reached the front door. Guards dead along with no doors with black explosion marks. Jango carefully entered Zam second. they followed a large hall way until they came to a door. When Jango opened it, the deadful peace was broken. Gun sounded, dieing screams not something for the faint of heart. They small balcony overlooked an indoor count yard. they blasting down the thugs was that mandlor armored person.
When he last thug dead, the bounty turned towards the Senator. who stood quietly about 50 feet away. "Good job Bounty hunter. I assume your here for my head?"
"If that how you would like to put it." The voice sounded odd, dulled out by filters of a translator. The gun pointed straight at the senator.
"Go a head and shoot." He said smoothly.
"You first." the hunter said.
"Wise." The senator pulled out a gun and shot. the hunter flipped back and the shot only hit the wall. Both the bounty hunter and senator started to circle each other. From the safety of the balcony Zam and Jango watched.
"Are you sure you won't take my offer. Double the price on my head if you leave right now. I'll transfer it all over to your account." Sentor said never taking an eye off the bounty hunter. One more guard was left he came out from what little shadow was in the court yard. Pointing a gun towards the mandlor bounty hunter, he took aim and...
"Watch out!" Zam cried. Jango quickly pulled her down and covered her mouth.
The bounty Hunter turned towards the guard a little too slow, he shot and hit the hunter, then the senator opened fired and shoot her about 5 more times in the back.
Jango swore a bit under his breath but jumped out and activated his jet pack. Shooting with both blaster he took out the guard and knocked the gun out of the senator's hand. He landed and walked over to the now cowering senator. "Any last words." Jango said coldly pointing a blaster towards his face.
"Don't kill me, I'll give you anything!" He begged.
"Too bad." Jango shot him straight between the eyes. Dead. Zam made her way down a flight of stairs and walked over to the other bounty hunter. She knelt down and saw the hunter was still breathing.
"Come on Zam lets go." Jango snapped starting to walk towards the door.
"No I am not leaving this guy here. You'll be able to find out who he is." Zam argued.
"No. Just another mouth to feed." Jango stopped and turned around.
"Jango, I think that this Bounty hunter is young. too short, even though the mask I could here the voice was young." Zam stopped picked up the hunter then walked over Jango. "You'll be carrying." She dumped the barley alive body in to Jango's arms.
Jango was surprised by how light it was. "Okay. I guess."
After arriving in the Slave I they put the other bounty hunter in the bed. "I think we should take off the mask." Zam leaned over and undid the mask and lifted it off. But she gasped is surprised and dropped the helmet.
Jango was surprised too. Not only was the other bounty hunter young, about 13 years old. It was a girl. "Not what I was expecting."
"Me too." Zam's eye were really wide still staring at the girl like she was some weird animal. The girl eyes flickered for a second before it curled up in to a ball smiling.
"I think she must be use to sleeping on makeshift beds. She looks really comfy." Jango sighed and walked back out to the controls.
"I'll treat her wounds." Zam said. Jango nodded and turned back to look out at the blue streaks of hyperspace.
"Oh and Zam," Jango paused as he saw Zam appear out side the other room. "Give me her weapons."
"Already here." Zam handed two blasters, exactly like his, along with a strip of ammo, a couple a detonators, and the traditional dagger. "She got quite an inventory on her."
Jango gave a small grunt and studied the dagger. Wonder how she would react when she wakes up?Jango thought as read the insciption on the dagger. Trust no one and live. Hmm. Wonder where she heard that? Because it sounded a lot like Jango's law before he met Zam.
