Author's note: I am so so sorry for the long wait for the new chapter. Please, please forgive me. If you hate me for it, I understand. Here's the next chapter....finally.

A mysterious figure slipped into the Cantina and sat down at one of the back table. His face was covered with wrappings except for the lower part of his face and his eyes which seemed to glow a honey amber. He wore a white v-neck civilian shirt and a black jacket and pants. His belt looked as if it was once a clone trooper's but nobody asked.

"Can I get you anything?" a female server asked.

"I'll take a cup of ale."

"Of course."

As he waited for his drink he pulled out a small chip. It was the only lead he had to her. After he had secretly stolen a ship from the Resolute, he had flown to the planet where he had found Ahsoka's padawan braid. There he had not been able to find much more than he had before except for some information on some other generals and engineers of the Separatists. Coric had sent him some classified information on Ventress from the Resolute where he was impersonating Rex. That was the information he now had in his hand. He knew what he now had to do to find Ahsoka the only problem was that he did not have the equipment to do it. He need a person that had an info slicer. Unforunately, slicers were illegal so to find a person with one was hard and it was even harder to pay their price.

The server was now back with his drink. She carefully set it on the table and looked at Rex expentantly for her tip. He handed her a few creds then held up 20 more.

"Do you by any chance know anybody who might have a slicer that could do a job for a low price?"

The waitress put a hand on her hip and thought for a moment. She then pointed to a young green-blue Rodian that was sitting in a both on the other side of the Cantina that was talking to a Hutt.

"That's Beedo. He's only about 14 years old but his dad recently died. His dad was a bounty hunter and a good one. The kid got his ship and I'm guessing that it has a slicer. He would probably do a job for dirt cheap."

Rex nodded his thanks and handed her the 20 creds. He quickly downed the ale and went to talk to Beedo who was still talking to the Hutt.

"I don't care what you think. My father had already paid his debt by time he died. He did not commit suicide. Now get lost."

The hutt creeped away as Rex sat down.

"Can I help you?" the young Rodian asked.

"You, Beedo?"

"That's me."

"I heard you got a ship with a slicer."

"Yeah, I might. Why?"

"I need someone to get some information for me."

"Tell me more."

Rex leaned in and said in a low voice.

"Tomorrow at elven the Republic is secretly planning to ambush the Separatists' base on Majilop. Right now the Dark Acolyte, Ventress is at the base. She will flee from the base as soon as she knows all has failed. As soon as she is in space, I need to somehow immobilize her ship at least for a little while and slice into her ship's system."

"Doesn't sound too hard but let's talk about pay."

"How about 3,000 creds?"

"Are kidding me? I may be young but I ain't that stupid. I'll do the job for 12,000."

"No going to happen. How about 5,000?"

"Still too low. 10,000."

Rex really only had 5,000 creds that he had taken from stash on the Resolute. He then thought of his ship and decided that he could sell it.

"7,000. Take it or leave it. I am sure I can find someone else with some more reasonable prices."

"Done." Beedo held out his hand for the money but Rex shook his hand.

"I'm coming with you. You are a bit young and you're gonna need some help. I'll give the money to you after we come back with the information."

Beedo narrowed his eyes and would have been frowning if he was human.

"Fine but 500 more creds. Meet me tomorrow at port 94 at 8:30 A.M., sharp."

Rex nodded and left the cantina. He only hoped that tomorrow would go smoothly but he knew that it probably wouldn't.

"So you actually showed up. I thought it would have been too early for you."

"From where I come from if you don't show up on time, it could be your death."

"Yeah, well lucky for you, you weren't later because if you were I would of totally left without you. By the way, I never got your name."

"Name's Rex."

"Okay, Rex. Hurry up and get in. Majilop is at least 2 hours away by light speed."

Rex and Beedo both got into the small ship that looked like it could fall apart at any moment. Quick as a wink, they were in hyerspace. Rex was surprised by the younger pilot's skill at such a young age.

"So you traveled with your father a lot?"

"Yup. I would always go with him on his hunts."

"What happened to him?"

"Got killed by Jedi or at least something with a laser sword."

"I see."

"So where are you from?"

"I'm a wanderer. I usually do odd jobs for people."

"Well, I can't say that is the best career but whatever."

The remainder of the trip was mostly quiet except for the occasional question about the ship. After two hours of traveling at lightspeed, they finally arrived at the destination. They still had an hour before Ventress might leave the planet.

"Rex, when her ship gets into the atmosphere, I will launch this small device onto her ship. If I do it properly, it should kill the engine but still leave the ship intact so we can get that information you want so badly."

"Yes."

Beedo carefully hid the ship on a piece of floating debris. They waited and waited and waited until they could see on the screen, her ship quickly making its way through the atmosphere. Beedo quickly jumped into action and tried to shoot one of the devices at the ship.

"Stang, I missed!"

What Beedo didn't know was that his aim had been true but Ventress had felt through the force something coming towards her and had shifted her ship just enough to miss it.

"Here Rex. Follow her after her while I try again."

Rex expertly maneuvered the ship around all the obstaclesa and was hot on Ventress' tail but Ventress still dodged all the shots Beedo shot at her. Beedo was quickly running out of his expensive ammo.

"Beedo switch with me!"

"What? No!"

"Now! I need that information."

Maybe it was something in Rex's tone or the fire blazing in his eyes instead of it's usually honey amber glow that made Beedo give the controls to the gun. Rex had realized what Ventress was doing. He had seen Ahsoka do it before and he also knew how to take a person down who had the ability. Rex shot two of the devices one after another. One he sent right after Ventress and the other he did a little off to the side. As Ventress dodged the shot that was coming straight to her, she flew straight into the other. Immediately, Ventress' ship stopped moving.

"Nice shot."

"Thanks, now get that info."

"I'm almost done just give me a second. Okay, now lets blast her and getting going."

Rex smiled as he let out a blaster shot but a second before he pressed the button, Ventress force pushed the ship to the side. She quickly force crushed the device that was holding her and flew into hyerspace before Rex could make another shot.

Rex cursed under his breath and Beedo just stared at the empty space where her ship had been.

"She do that often?"

"You have no idea."

That chapter was not my favorite to write but I'll live. It was kinda short but it was either I make it boring long or this. Btw, Beedo is in the cannon but I couldn't find anything about his personality so I created it.

I just need to get back into the swing of updating so the next chapter will probably come out soon(next week).

Please review. Seriously, reviews are what fuel me to write more. I will personally thank all of the reviewers in the next chapter. Thanks for reading!
