Gorinth Canyon, right outside Sobrik, Balmorra. (0.5 ATC)
Terra frowned, and started sprinting after their target. "You're not escaping me," they muttered under their breath, and pulled out one of their hold out blasters form their belt. They shot, several times, and, the sixth time they shot, the target fell into the dirty Balmorran soil. The contract hadn't specified if the target should be brought alive or dead. And since it didn't state a higher reward if the bounty was captured alive, they had, gone for the kill. It was easier, and quicker, after all.
Birp! Birp! Birp! It took a moment for them to realize it was their comm. They activated it, and, after a moment, a live picture of a distressed man appeared right in front of them. "I... I need you to... to do a job for me." The man seemed as if he was having trouble breathing, and was clearly I some kind of shock. Terra didn't care enough to ask him about it, it was his fault, not theirs. "What do you want me to do?" They sneered, and their expression was a clear leave me the fuck alone will ya? "Someone is trying to kill me," he paused, and seemed to hesitate. "And I need you to find her, and then take her out, by lethal force, that is." They considered the offer for a moment, then said, "how much are you willing to pay?" And out their hand on their hip, as if to show they're serious. "Half a million credits." He said. They snorted, and shook their head. "Not enough." 500,000 was quite much for, what seemed to be a simple job. But the man seemed desperate, so, there was no harm in trying to coax out more money out of him. "Seven hundred thousand?" The man asked, hesitantly. "Still not enough." They replied. "Eight hundred and fifty thousand?" He seemed even more hesitant this time, probably thinking of contacting someone else. "Fine." They said, knowing it was risky to try to go further. "Where is you target?" They asked. "That's the problem," Terra felt a growing sense of danger in their stomach. "I don't know."

Xicca rushed after the thief. He had taken more than half of their -and no, none of the three were even 18 yet- credits, and if he succeeded, they would have to starve, and do all their hard work again. "You filth!" She yelled, hoping to distract the thief. It did, only for a slight second, but that was all she needed. She came at him, landing a heavy kick in his back, and he screamed in pain. She then tackled him to the ground, and he groaned loudly in pain. She didn't care, and took the credit chip he had in his hands. And no, she didn't care if some of the money on it wasn't theirs. Xicca began running back to her siblings. When she got close enough, she yelled, "Come on, hurry!" And continued running. Only when they where on a speeder bike on the way to their new apartment, did she allow herself to rest.
Ei'aa's danger sense calmed down slightly. But she was still worried. Maybe I should have stayed with my parents on Mirial. No, no, it would be even worse than this. She was so deep into her thoughts that she didn't notice that the speeder taxi had reached their destination. Xicca had to scream loudly, "Ei'aa!" for her to snap awake from her thoughts. She went after them and mouthed a silent 'sorry'. She shook her head and vowed for that to never happen again, even though she knew it would. Suddenly her danger sense sparked up to maximum level, and she took a deep breath. "Duck!" She screamed, hoping her siblings would listen. Luckily for her -but not for the attackers- they did as she said. A hail of bolts streaked the sky right above them, and Ei'aa tried to keep her heartbeat under control. But it kept beating so fast she couldn't even try to repeat it in her mind, and her efforts where useless.
Corellian sector, Nar Shadaa. (0.5 ATC)
Dehra ran, someone was trying to catch her, and she didn't know why. It's because I'm a zeltron, isn't it? She was used to getting cat called and harassed, but that didn't make it more okay for her. She was tired and she was breathing irregularly. "Don't run girlie," a voice not far behind her said, and she started running even faster, ignoring that her body was telling her no! She ran into an alley, and hid behind a canister taller than her. She was breathing quickly and her heart felt as if it was going to jump out of her chest, and the man chasing her came. He looked for a bit, then decided to move on, shouting, "girlie!"
Dehra stayed at her hiding place for a few minutes, but they seemed like hours. She took her chance and began running back to her safe house. Her body began aching in pain, but she stubbornly ignored it. She started running straight into the house, and almost smashed into the door before she quickly opened it. When she was in, she sat on her old, blueish couch. "I'm 19! When will they stop?!" She exclaimed loudly. She was tired of this, so very tired. Sometimes they even prevented her from doing her job. She closed the door behind her and started walking towards the nearest taxi outpost. It was time to go visit Coruscant again. And see what the black sun is doing. And maybe do a couple of jobs for them. The ride to the spaceport was short, and less than a minute later the taxi was at her destination. She jumped off and sprinted to the hangar her starship was located in. When she arrived, two men stood there with their blasters aimed at her. "You're ours now, girl." The taller of the two men, both were human, said. Then they both fell dead, and at the same time, she heard two gunshots, neither of which she had fired.
