Sorry for the long wait, I was quite busy.

"Marrok, come!" Embo ordered to his Anooba.
"Embo?" Sugi asked in disbelief, standing back up and wiping Anooba drool off her.
"Sugi, It's great to see you!" Embo exclaimed, going over to his Zabrak friend and embracing her.
"Good to see you too!" she managed to cough out, getting squished in the tight hug.
"And that guy over there is…?" Ventress asked, trailing off.
"The one and only Dengar!" Dengar declared coming into the light.
"Oh man." Ventress sighed, slapping her forehead with the palm of her hand.
"Well, I haven't seen you in forever!" Dengar stated, walking over to Latts and clapping her on the back.
"Yeah, missed you too." Latts smiled.
"I hate to break up the reunion, but what about the bounty?" Ahsoka asked, putting her hands on her hips. Both guys turned to look at her, not even knowing she had been in the room.
"Who's the new girl?" Dengar smirked, raising his eyebrows.
"This is Ahsoka Tano. She's an ex-jedi, she recently became a bounty hunter, and is now working with Ventress." Latts explained.
"I remember you from Felucia." Embo stated, scratching Marrok's ear.
"Yeah… I thought you would." Ahsoka said awkwardly.
"Well, welcome to the business." Dengar said, extending his hand. "I'm Dengar."
"Um, hi." Ahsoka said, hesitant to shake his hand.
"Don't worry he doesn't bite." Ventress joked.
"Not much, anyways." He joked. Ahsoka opted not to take his hand after the remark.
"So, you two were also on this bounty, huh?" Sugi asked.
"Yeah." Embo stated.
"So what do you guys do when this happens?" Ahsoka asked Ventress.
"Usually you pummel the other guy with blaster bolts, but this is a special case." Ventress explained.
"So, what does that mean?" Ahsoka inquired.
"Split the cash with them." Latts answered.
"Oh, I guess that only seems fair." Ahsoka mused.
"Well, let's go turn in this bounty. Then we can all catch up." Embo stated.
Back at the cantina, after turning in the bounty and splitting the credits, they bounty hunters found a table large enough to accommodate them all. After most of them ordered drinks, they finally got to talk with each other.
"So what have you guys been doing?" Latts asked Embo and Dengar.
"Bounties." Embo stated.
"Same. You guys?" Dengar asked.
"Bounties." Ventress stated, monotonously.
"Bounties with her." Ahsoka said, with a gesture of her head to Ventress.
"Bounties and assassinations." Sugi stated.
"Bounties and a part time job." Latts said, mumbling the last part.
"Oh cool, where?" Dengar asked her.
"At a cantina." Latts answered, hoping he wouldn't pry more.
"I can't see you as a waitress or a bartender." He stated, taking a sip of his drink.
"I was a singer." Latts stated, with a wince.
"A singer!?" Dengar exclaimed, choking on his drink.
"Didn't see that coming." Embo laughed.
"You know what? I don't care what you think! I was getting paid!" Latts defended.
"I didn't say anything!" Embo said, raising his hands in mock surrender.
"You know what, I can't picture you singing either." Dengar stated, with a laugh at the thought.
"Shut up!" Latts growled.
"Um, do you guys know him?" Ahsoka asked.
All the bounty hunters looked to who she was pointing at. The man was middle-aged, had no hair, and was wearing black leather.
"I don't think so." Sugi stated. "Why?"
"Because he's coming over to us." Ahsoka stated.
All hands went to their weapons as the man came up to their table. He stared at them for a couple of seconds before speaking.
"You are bounty hunters, are you not?" He asked.
"Who wants to know?" Ventress growled.
"I have a job." He answered.
"What is it?" Dengar asked.
"It is on an insane person. It lives in a hotel that is rumored to be haunted. It's a killer, they're wanted dead." He explained.
"You said 'it'. Don't you know the gender?" Latts asked.
"Nope. Anyone who's seen it hasn't lived to tell the tale." He stated darkly.
"What's the pay?" Sugi asked.
"200,000 credits." He answered. They all looked at each other and nodded, agreeing silently.
"We'll take it." Dengar stated.
"Good, contact me here when you're done." He said with a smile that could peel paint off a wall. He brusquely walked away.
"What is it with all the insane people bounties these days?" Embo asked.
"I don't know. I'm just happy we got a job." Dengar stated.
"It's getting late, wanna all head back to my apartment?" Latts asked. They all agreed and set out, all chatting away and sharing stories from while they were all working alone.
Once back at Latts' apartment, she laid out some pillows on the floor.
"I think I have enough chairs and pillows for all of you." She stated.
Once everyone had settled in, and Marrok finally stopped sniffing around, they turned out the lights and went to bed.
