Hope you like it. This starts in the Turbo lift scene.
Caitlyn looked out on the world as they went up and up.
"You seem a bit on edge." Obi-Wan stated as Ankin adjusted his tunic.
"Not at all." Anakin replied coolly.
"You haven't been this nervous since we fell in to that next of Dongans." Obi-Wan glanced towards Caitlyn.
"You fell in to that night mare, Master. I saved you, remember." Anakin argued.
"Oh...yes." Obi-Wan started to laugh and Anakin giggled a bit.
"Relax, take a deep breath." Obi-Wan said as the turbo lift started to slow.
"I haven't seen her in 10 years." Anakin pointed out as the turbo lift came to a stop.
When the door slid open Caitlyn stepped out and Anakin and Obi-Wan followed.
"Jarjar greeted Obi-wan. "Obi? Obi! Itsa so nice to see yousa." JarJar led them in to the main living area. "Senator Padme lookylooky, the Jedi are here."
Padme walked over to Obi-Wan and Ankin.
"Nice to see you again my lady." Obi-Wan bowed to Padme.
"Its been far to long, Master Kenobi." They she caught sight of Anakin. "Ani? My you have grown." Anakin stepped forward and smiled.
"So have you. I mean more beatuiful. I mean for a senator." Anakin managed to say.
"Oh Anakin, you'll always be the little boy I knew on Tatoonie." She smiled and turned away.
Obi-Wan followed her. "Our presence will be invisible my lady, we give you our assurance on that."
Caitlyn followed quietly. Studying the everything possible.
The guy that had been her guard , named Capitian Typhos. Tells of the problem. Caitlyn joins Obi-Wan and Anakin on the couch.
"I don't need more security, I need answers." Padme stresses."I want to know whos trying to kill me."
"We are here to protect you, not launch an invesagation." Obi-Wan said.
"We will try to find out who's trying to kill you Padme."
"Anakin. We will not excede our boundies." Caitlyn said.
"Caitlyn is right." Obi-Wan said as he turns to face Anakin.
"I ment it in the interest of protecting her of course." Anakin said defensively.
"We will not go though this again Anakin. And you will pay attention to me lead." Obi-wan started turn back towards Padme.
"Why?" Anakin states.
"What?" Obi-Wan sounded angry.
"Why else were we sent here. guarding is for local security, not Jedi." Anakin stated his eyes sparking furiously.
""We will do as the council told us and you will soon learn your place young one." Obi-Wan gently points out to Anakin.
Anakin looked down.
"Maybe by all three of you being here. The mystery surrounding this will be reveled." Padme pauses. "You haven't introduced to me to your friend yet."
"Sorry my Senator. This is Padawan learner Caitlyn. She is Master Windu's apprentice." Obi-Wan said. "Windu thought it would be good to have another girl around. She usally isn't this quiet."
"Its been a pleasure to meet you." Caitlyn bowed to Padme.
Padme nodded. "Now if you would excuse me. I will retire."
Caitlyn walked back to Padme bedroom door and stopped as she went in and closed it. Caitlyn heard Anakin bickering about something negative. She sighed as she sat down with her legs crossed. She focused on the world outside.
Caitlyn then felt it, two familiar force signatures. Jangos and Zams. She kept quiet and she opened her eyes and joined Master Kenobi and Anakin.
Caitlyn watched the outside flow of traffic. She heard about Padme covering the camera and programming A2-D2 to warn them if someone intrudes. Caitlyn knew Zams droid was coming she was about to reach out again when her thought line was interrupted.
"How do you feel about the risk the senator is taking,Caitlyn?" Obi-Wan asked.
"I feel it is unwise, but since were here, no harm will be done to her." CAitlyn said as she turned around and walked to stand by Anakin.
Then it dawned on Obi-Wan. "Your useing her as bait." His tone was crossed between impressed and caution.
"It was her idea." Ankin said uncomfortably."Don't worry no harm will come, like Caitlyn said. I can sense every thing that is going on in that room. Trust me."
"Its too risky, your skills aren't as focused as mine yet, my young apprentice." Obi-Wan turned to stare at Padmes door.
"And yours are?" Anakin questioned.
"Possibly." Obi-wan shrugged as he turned to stare at Anakin again.
Caitlyn sat back down on the couch. Obi-Wan and Anakin were talking about dreams. Caitlyn looked half heartily towards the door. Are those two even paying attention?Caitlyn asked her self. She turned back towards the Jedi that talked quietly. Caitlyn sensed the uncertainly in Anakins voice. Then the two started to argue.
Then Caitlyn turned towards Padmes room and stood. Then Ankin and Obi-Wan stopped arguing and both turned towards the bed room.
"I sense it too." Obi-Wan said and all three run in to the room.
Anakin jumps in to the room lightsaber lit and cuts two poisonous bugs off Padme. Caitlyn sees Obi-Wan jump out the window and catch on to a droid.
"Stay here." Anakin said quickly and he runs off. Caitlyn glances at Padme and runs after Anakin.
Caitlyn sees Anakin hop in to a speeder and take off after Obi-Wan. Caitlyn hops in to her own speeder, delivered her for the purpose of a chase. Caitlyn is immediacy on the tail of Anakin as he speeda at over 160 kph.
As Anakin pulls up under obi-Wan spots a figure standing on a roof, her figure lit by the signs. With her projectile rifle raised she shots the droid, scattering the thing in to pieces. Then she sees Zam get in to her speeder and rush off. Anakin helps Obi-Wan into the speeder he was driving and starts to chase her.
Caitlyn could already tell where this was heading. Caitlyn quickly nose dived to be on the same level as the chase pursues. Zams speeder was reaching over 200 kph but so were Anakin and herself. Caitlyn puled her slef up in time to make it over the big bulky think that got in their way. She saw Zam speed right in to a power station. As Caitlyn follows she barley sees Zam stick her blaster out the window and shoot a power coupling.
Anakin flys right though it, they both get a nice shock from that. Caitlyn goes over the power couplings and follows the chase evermore.
She saw Zam turn in to a tunnel and Anakin go strait. Caitlyn dived quickly to the level Zam would come out on. But Anakin was still flying above. Caitlyn watched as Anakin threw himself over the side of the speeder and landed on Zams. Oh god, hes tring to kill himself.
A soon as Anakin lands, Zam goes in to a nose dive, making Anakin slide to the front. Zam tries to shoot him, but hw is still in the wrong place for Zam to be shooting him. When Anakin finds a grip he slides over the cockpit and turns on his lightsaber. He tries to ether kill Zam or reck the controls, but Zma gun goes off and the lightsaber flies past Cailtyn and Obi-Wan catches it. Caitlyn now looks on hopelessly as two shots from Zams own blaster go in to the control board. This causes her to plumet towards the ground. Zam crashes the speeder after Anakin jumped off. CAitlyn quickly lands her speeder along side Obi-Wan. Zam was already running away. Obi-Wan and Caitlyn followed. Zam quickly went in to the outlanders club to hide.
Caitlyn and Obi-Wan soon met Anakin. "Master, she went in to the club!"
Obi-Wan patted him on the shoulder. "Patience. Use the Force, think."
"Sorry Master." Anakin snaps and he tries to go in to the club again, but is stopped by Caitlyn.
"She went in there to hide from us, not run." Caitlyn said as she tucked away her lightsaber safely where no one would see it.
"Caitlyn has a point." Obi-Wan held Anakins lightsaber up to him. "Try not to lose it."
"Yes Master." Anakin said and he rushed in to the Outlanders Club with Obi-Wan and Caitlyn following.
"Why do I have the feeling you're going to be the death of me." Obi-Wan sighs as he walks in to the Club.
"Don't say that Master. You are the closest thing I have to a father."
"Well than why don't you listen to me?" Obi-Wan says as they wove though the crowd.
"I'm trying." Anakin says.
"Well then try harder." Caitlyn said sternly.
"So do you see him?" Obi-Wan asked as he scanned the crowd.
"I think he is a she, and I think shes a changeling." Anakin looks at Obi-Wan.
"In that case be extra careful." Obi-Wan pauses as he starts to walk of. "You go and find her."
"Where are you going Master?" Anakin looks at him suspiously.
"To get a drink." He says sternly.
Anakin nods and walks off. Caitlyn quietly follows. When Obi-Wan takes a drink and sits down Caitlyn stays silent in the crowd. Then she see her. Zam is sneeking up behind Obi-Wan. Caitlyn slips easily though the crowd. When Zam is about to pull the trigger Caitlyn ignites her lightsaber and cut the baster in half and gives two wounds one on each shoulder, to keep her from reaching other weapons. I'm sorry Zam. Anakin walks over and tells everyone to go back to their drinks. Anakin and Obi-Wan help Support Zam as the help her out the back.
When they get to the back they lay Zam down and she is breathing quite heavily. Caitlyn slipped in to the shadows and watched quietly.
"Do you know who you were trying to kill?" Obi-Wan asked Zam.
"It was a senator from Naboo." Zam said trying to sound fierce but failing.
"Who hired you?" Obi-Wan asked. Caitlyn felt him gently use the force to try to get her to say her employers name.
"Its just a job." Zam sounded quite defeated.
"Who hired you. Tell us." Anakin also used the Force to try to get her to tell. "Tell us now!"
'It was a bounty hunter named..." Zam trailed off as she slowly went to sleep and her form fadded to Clawdite.
Caitlyn wasn't a fool she new what was coming. Caitlyn gracefully reached out and grabbed a saber dart just as it whizzed though the air. Caitlyn studied the dart. She had never seen Jango use it, but she knew it was filled with poison.
Caitlyn turned her attention to a different building where Anakin and Obi-Wan now looked. Caitlyn saw the faint trail of a jetpack take off away in to the night. She heard his thought the force loud and clear. I can't belive I just killed her. I loved her."Here My speeder will carry her. She is still alive." Caitlyn says as she glance down on Zam. "Oh and Obi-Wan here, don't touch the pointy end its a toxic dart." Caitlyn handed the dart to Obi-Wan who studied it curiously.
"Your right." Obi-wan looks up at Caitlyn. "I'll let you take the Clawdite to the temple. We'll hsve to interrogate her to see if she'll tell us any names."
"You two can report to the council." Caitlyn nodded and Anakin help lift her on to the speeder before they shot off.
Caitlyn gently put Zam down. Caitlyn had to admit clawdite were not the prettiest humanoids in the galaxy. No wonder Zam took the worm of a human female. CAitlyn carefully used the force to help guilde her body though changing so it would look like a young female again.
Soon she was done. She went out and got a glass of water for her. She put it on the floor next to Zam. Guess I'll be seeing you soon, Zam.
Why does my head hurt and what with all the talking? I am trying to sleep. Never mind the small yet stinging pains in my shoulder. Zam eyes fluttered open and she found herself in a room with nothing more that a table with a couple chairs and a glass of water. Zam swore loudly at her mistake. She looked at the water and almost didn't drink it, but these were Jedi, since when did Jedi stoup so low that they would poison a person? Zam took a drink and she walked around and found her weapons to be no where she could reach them. She heard the door open, whipping around to defend her self she saw only a dark skinned Jedi who sat down in a chair and looked gravely up at Zam.
"We need answers." He said and Zam could tell by the tone of his voice that this force stuff they used, could get answers out of her one way or the other.
TBC= to be continued! Sorry for the cliffie! I'll try to post the nex tone up really fast.
