Here's the next chapter!

Dengar, Embo, and Marrok walked up to the building. It was old, rundown, and all the windows were dark. It looked like nobody had been there in years.
"He's inside there?" Embo asked, giving Marrok a pat on the head.
"That's what I was told." Dengar said.
They forced the main doors open and went inside. There was debris littering the floor and the walls were scarred with odd scratches. The light from outside helped them to see, giving the place a dim blueish light. Marrok let out a low growl.
"Maybe we should go that way." Dengar suggested, pointing to the way Marrok was growling at.
"Probably the best idea for now." Embo agreed.
They walk further into the old building, occasionally stepping on a creaky board.
"Maybe we should go onto the roof to get in." Ventress suggested.
"Sounds good to me." Sugi agreed.
"Wait, why would we go in by the roof?" Ahsoka asked, following the others as they climbed the closest building.
"They would expect anybody to just walk in the front door." Latts explained.
"Yeah, but we were around the back." Ahsoka reminded.
"Well, we're doing the roof version of breaking into a building today." Ventress stated.
Once onto of the building they had scaled, they walked over to the edge that was closest to the bounty building. They jumped down onto the roof and found the door to the ladder that led down into the building.
Once down the ladder, they looked around. They were at the far end of a hall that was dimly lit blue by the outside lights. There were doors all down the hall; some open, some closed, some boarded up, and some the remaining debris of the door was on the ground just outside it.
"Lovely place." Latts commented sarcastically.
"Shhh. He could be anywhere." Ventress warned.
"Oooh, so scared of weirdo guy hiding in and old building." Latts joked, wiggling her fingers at Ventress.
"Let's check out some rooms." Dengar suggested. Embo nodded and Dengar opened the door of the closest room.
Once inside and their eyes adjusted, they looked around. This room looked like it had been used for torture at one point or another. There was a large table with attached binders in the middle. Next to it, was a small cart of various assorted sharp, pointy things. There were several large closets lining the walls, they didn't even want to look in those.
"Well, he's not here." Dengar stated.
"Really?" Embo asked sarcastically.
CRASH!
"What was that?" Dengar asked as Marrok started growling.
"Let's go check it out." Embo said. "Marrok, can you find that noise?" He asked, kneeling down to ask his Anooba. Marrok trotted out of the room. They followed him as he sniffed around and listened.
"That is so cool! I want one of those!" Dengar said.
The girls walked into another room. This was, so far, the fifth one they had checked. This one was a living room that had gotten trashed. The bounty obviously had anger issues. There was broken glass on the floor, smashed tables, and ripped up sofas.
"This is going to take forever." Sugi stated, rubbing her forehead.
"Why don't we just use a life form detector?" Latts asked.
"Oh yeah. Why didn't we think of that before?" Ahsoka said with a quiet laugh.
Ventress took out her life form detector. It showed the layout of the building and where any life forms were located.
"What the?" She muttered as she looked at the device.
"What is it?" Sugi asked.
"It says there are four life forms in the building." Ventress said.
"What? I thought you said he was gonna be alone." Latts asked.
"I did. That means there's someone else in here that isn't him. Three actually." Ventress explained.
"Crap." Sugi muttered.
"This one is by itself and these three are in a group so I'm guessing that that lone guy is the bounty." Ventress stated, pointing at the screen.
Meanwhile, Ahsoka had been looking around. After finding nothing she made her way back to where the other three were standing. Suddenly she tripped and fell into a table, knocking a lamp off it.
CRASH!
"What are you doing?" Ventress asked.
"Sorry, I tripped." Ahsoka stated, standing up and dusting herself off. She joined the other three.
"Hey look." Latts pointed at the screen. "That group of three is now getting closer to us."
"They probably heard the crash." Ventress mused.
"I said I was sorry." Ahsoka defended.
"We better hurry and find the bounty." Sugi said.
After a long time of following Marrok, he finally stopped outside a door.
"Did he find it?" Dengar asked.
"There's only one way to find out." Embo said, opening the door to the room.
They walked in and they saw a guy standing in front of a window. He turned around quickly.
"Who are you?!" He asked in a panicky voice.
"Here to take care of you." Dengar said pointing his blaster at him and firing. The man fell to the ground. They walked over to his body, crouching down to inspect it.
"That was easier than I thought." Dengar stated, cheerfully.
Suddenly, a door to their right swung open, revealing four silhouettes. Dengar and Embo froze.
"Um, Who is that?" Dengar asked Embo in a whisper.
"How am I supposed to know?" Embo whispered back.
The four girls came to the door of the room that the bounty was supposedly inside. Sugi kicked open the door. They were surprised to see two figures crouched over a third that was on the ground.
"That group must've been other bounty hunters." Ahsoka whispered.
"Where's the third one then?" Ventress whispered back.
Suddenly an animal charged at them and tackled Sugi to the ground, who cried out in surprise. They saw one of the figures stand up.
It took a few seconds for Sugi to realize it, but she wasn't being attacked by the creature. The creature was licking her face.
"Ew, stop stop stop!" She urged. The standing figure came into the light, and they were completely surprised by who it was.
"Embo!?" Latts gasped.
