Ok, time for the next chapter, hope you enjoy it!
Nanopanda, thanks for the review, I appreciate it a lot.
So I won't keep you waiting, here it is!
In a way being in some else's skin is not bad. You don't have to pretend or act a way you- yourself is expected to, but rather get a rare opportunity to be an entirely different person.
It really puts things into perspective for you, seeing life from the other side of the scale, that's for certain.
Out of prison orange and in bounty hunter cloths now, it actually just adds to that thought. I kind of like it and who knew I could be so convincingly good at being bad.
Sometimes the things you discover about yourself surprises even yourself. Only person I have yet to entirely convince is Bane- if only I hadn't…
If only I hadn't hesitated- maybe knocked out the guard- he would be alive and me…. not under suspicion.
Bane seems increasingly more on edge and easily to set off. A few moments ago Bane almost took Pablo's head for his comment about us obviously being on the run.
Maybe I should keep my mouth shut- guess I am getting into the snarky bounty hunter facade a little too much.
As of now we are all going through contacts and other routes to find a better "store" for our weapons. Eval is talking to someone over on the main part of this scrape heap of a ship.
Now it's just me and Bane, I can tell that this is going to be a problem. I suppose that all I can say or rather think- is let the games begin.
"So what got you caught and throw in prison?" I gently probed
"Ha, you actually think those brain dead clones could bring me in? Ha-ha, no it was all a part of the plane obviously." retorted Bane
"Now you Hardeen are interesting, you came where you are not wanted, and you are an apparently an accomplished bounty hunter- but you hesitated back at the prison, why?"
Hemm, it seems Bane and I are going to play this game, which of us can get what out of who first.
"That blaster jammed, I was unfocused, and I didn't react, it won't happen again," I answered him as if answering a child- that ought to cause a reaction.
"Hem, so you killed Kenobi they say?" he smirked unbelievingly
"Yah caught that poo-doo right in the heart." I replied with a smirk
"No respect or fun in that, now going head to head with a Jedi and winning- that's a accomplishment worth respect." He said as he eyed me from the side in disdain
"Never asked for your respect did I now? No, and to me, I don't care where and how you kill them- a dead Jedi – is a dead Jedi no difference to me in how it's done." I added in smooth defense
"Whatever, but that is a low goal for a bounty hunter and Kenobi, he was decent and a Jedi worth a finale fight- I may hate the Jedi but some are worth a little admiration."
"Least I could kill him, I heard you went at it with him and another Jedi a couple months ago and failed to kill him." I shot in a challenging tone
"He wasn't my target, thought I could have finished him, and just decided not to kill without reward."
Walking up to Cad I shoved him and said, "And what makes you think your the best around here, huh?"
He gets right up in my face and says, "I don't think, I know." And hits me right in the gut for emphasis
I hardened my eyes, then gave him one right back in the jaw- and he returned in kind.
By the next minute we were all over the control room locked in a fist fight.
I threw him into a wall; he kneed me in the stomach and sent me reeling
Up again I kicked him in the waist and head butted him. I went in to knock me out when we took my legs out from under me.
He stood over me, and I took out his legs and pinned him to the ground
The next few moments were spent with our hands trying to get a hold of the other as we rolled around on the floor.
"Now, now men, are you children, if this is to work out correctly I suggest you get up and start getting along with business or else I'll find more efficient things to do with you." Eval growled out as he walked into the room, picked up some credits and left once again but not without leaving us with a warning glance. We both glared at each other in blame.
We released each other and I began to leave the control room, "You better watch yourself Hardeen or else you may find yourself with a bounty on your head also," Bane said and smirked as he pushed past me and out the entrance.
There it is my second chapter, hope it flowed well and made sense.
I have been working extra hard to keep Obi-wan in true character through his thoughts but still playing a well rounded Hardeen all at once.
As always it is appreciated if you would please R&R, with all advice and critiques, all is welcome!
