Specter7 here. I'm running out of things to say, so, just enjoy the chapter :) and...
May the Force be with you.
Garazeb Orrelios-or "Zeb" as people called him-walked through the door of the coffee shop.
Even if he hadn't been wearing his camouflaged Army uniform, people probably would have stopped and stared anyway. Zeb was a big man, 7'1, and ripped with muscles. And with his light brown sideburns and goatee, Zeb was sure he looked as mean as nails.
"Captain Orrelios," a man greeted him.
Zeb smiled slightly. "Jim," he said in his usual deep voice. "What'd you need to see me for?"
They sat down in a booth and Jim took a deep breath. "I'm not gonna waste time with formalities", he said straight up. "I'll get right to the point; the other day, I talked to a kid named Hera Syndulla. She's only in her early twenties and already a captain in the U.S. Air Force. I'm the one who gave her her transfer papers."
Zeb narrowed his eyes. "What're you getting at?"
Jim sighed. "There was something special about that kid. She had a spark of... of, I don't know... something different. Anyway, I know you're looking for a place to retire after your fifteen years in the military. I figured you could go where that kid's going, and, you know, keep an eye on her and her husband. You're not exactly the type of person to lay back and relax."
Zeb chuckled. "I guess you're right. Where's she going anyway?"
Jim took out a folded paper and read, "Lothal County. She should have transferred two days ago."
Zeb thought for a moment. "And you're sure this... 'Hera' was something special?" he pressed.
"Never been sure of anything else in my life."
Zeb didn't hesitate. He stood up abruptly, saying, "Well, thanks, Jim. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to start packing."
Jim looked shocked. "You're leaving now?"
"Of course," Zeb said with a sly smile.
"Adventure awaits."
I really like how this chapter turned out. Short and simple but overall interesting. This next one though is what I'm excited about. It's Ezra's chapter and then you'll see how everything really ties in. Remember, review! I want your opinions.
Specter7 out.
