The next morning, Latts, Ventress, and Ahsoka headed out early. They walked down the streets, headed to the place the bounty was supposedly holed up at. Even thugh it was morning, it still looked almost like it was night out. The underlevels were weird like that.
"So what made you want to be a bounty hunter?" Latts asked Ahsoka curiously.
"You heard what happened on the Holonet, right?" Ahsoka asked.
"Yeah. You got blamed for the terrorist attack on the Jedi temple, you ran, they caught you, you got kicked out of the Jedi order, and it turned out that your best friend threw you under the speeder but they caught her and released you." Latts recalled.
"Yeah, but they didn't include what happened after." Ahsoka said with a sad smile. "After, they brought me to the temple and offered for me to come back. I declined. I mean, they couldn't trust me, and some of them were my closest friends. I couldn't go back, not after what happened."
"Heck, I wouldn't go back either. Sheesh, enemies when you're a convict, your best pals when you're pardoned. Doesn't sound like the ideal people I'd want to hang around with all the time." Latts agreed.
"So Ventress offered to let me stay with her. Then she took me on a bounty and, well, it was enjoyable. I mean, I'm still fighting for good, taking down criminals and other bad people, just in a different way." Ahsoka continued.
"That's a good way to see it." Latts though out loud.
"We better hurry up if we want to-" Ventress was cut off by a sniper shot just missing her head.
"What the-" Ahsoka gasped.
"Sniper." Latts stated, pointing in the direction of the shot.
"Come on!" Ventress exclaimed, running down a side street. Ahsoka and Latts followed her. They knew the sniper was following them from above. Occasionally a shot would whizz by one of their heads. They kept running until they reached-
"Crap, dead end." Latts muttered.
They turned around to see a silhouette on the one roof above them. They grabbed onto a gutter, sliding down to a dumpster, then jumped onto the ground. The three bounty hunters couldn't tell who, or what, they were in the darkness of the ally.
"I only want you, Night Sister. You both can go." It was a feminine, accented voice. Latts recognized it immediately.
"Sugi!?" Latts asked, astonished.
"Latts?! What are you doing?" Sugi asked, coming into the light.
"What are you doing?" Latts asked, glancing at the sniper rifle her friend was holding.
"I took up a job as an assassin. I still do bounties on the side, can't resist." Sugi explained, putting the sniper rifle over her one shoulder.
"Well, you can't kill her. She's my friend. I don't think you two have met yet, though. Ventress, this is Sugi. Sugi, Ventress." Latts introduced.
"I'd say 'nice to meet you' but given the circumstances…" Ventress started.
"Yeah, I know." Sugi said. "I'm trying to kill you. But any friend of Latts' is a friend of mine, so I'll just drop the job." Sugi shrugged.
"You can do that?" Ahsoka asked, confused.
"Yeah, I'm very picky about who I waste ammo on. Oh, I didn't even recognize you! How are you Tano?" Sugi asked.
"I've been worse." Ahsoka smirked. "Save any farmers or more lost Jedi padawans since I last saw you?"
"Ha ha, very funny." Sugi laughed.
"You know each other?" Latts asked Ahsoka and Sugi.
"Ran into each other several times before." Sugi explained.
"Well, we better be going if we want to get to the bounty." Ventress interrupted.
"Alright." Ahsoka agreed.
"Hey Sugi, you wanna come along?" Latts asked.
"Sure, I can make up for lost profits. What's the bounty on?" Sugi inquired.
"Some psycho spice dealer." Ahsoka piped up.
"Wow, sounds intense, you might need me." Sugi said, raising her eyebrows.
"Don't get too cocky, your pay hangs in the balance." Ventress teased.
They set off, again, for the bounty. They came upon the building in a matter of no time. Its dark windowed, looming appearance making them feel very small.
"Well, here goes nothing." Latts breathed.
Hope you are all enjoying it! Please review!
