Kanan grabbed out his com and said, "Hera, where are you?!" "The Empire made me move to bay 302, said that they gave me the wrong number for fruit drop offs. At least here they are helping me unload it… which may not be a good thing for you. But I can distract them when you get close, hopefully, so we can get you out of here. Got to go." And with that Hera was gone.
"Great." Growled Kanan, "How are we supposed to find bay 302?" Luke looked around before spotting someone he actually recognized. "Hold that thought." Luke said and headed over to the Rebel spy he had spotted. "Fine weather isn't it? Don't suppose you know how to get to bay 302?" the first part he said in a loud voice, while lowering his voice on the second part. "Commander?! What are you doing here? Yes it is fine weather, much better then yesterday."
"Long story, my ride is waiting for me at 302, they got moved there. Yes yesterday was terrible! So glad it wasn't the same today." "Can you take me with you? My ride got blasted out of the sky on the way in. Either way I can get you to 302. Oh for sure, if it had been the same I don't know what I would have done." "I'm sure that won't be a problem. Well friend can I interest you in a drink?" "Thank you. Yes, you can. I know of an excellent place, follow me."
Luke motioned for Kanan to join them and they hurried off. Seconds later the two figures in black arrived in the same area they had just vacated. "Let them go, I put a tracer on the one he is traveling with." the man said to the girl. They both watched as the three men hurried off, knowing that for today they must let the quarry go.
Luke, Kanan and Jamen (the rebel spy) made their way swiftly to where Hera was waiting. On the way Luke convinced Kanan to let him bring Jamen with them and to drop him off at the nearest rebel outpost. Jamen profusely thanked him over and over during the walk. Kanan was never so glad to see the Ghost as he was when they arrived at 302, for now he might be able to get away from the thankful spy for a few moments of quiet.
"Okay Hera we are here, and we brought a guest. Do your distraction." Kanan said into his com. They watched as Hera knocked the crate she was moving into a stack of crates, causing them to topple over and the fruit to fall out. All the troopers turned towards the commotion allowing Luke, Kanan and Jamen to sneak aboard. "You clumsy Twi'lek, that's why all your kind should do is dance in bars. It's all your good for!" the commander of the group cried out.
Hera smiled sweetly and said "Your right, I will just leave it for you to pick up then. That was the last crate and I am going to go pick up my pay." And with that she left the group of troopers standing around the spilled fruit. After collecting her credits, Hera returned to the Ghost, where she took of immediately. Once they were safely in space, she let Zeb, Luke, Kanan and Jamen know they could come out.
"So whose the stowaway you guys picked up?" asked Zeb. "Everyone this is Jamen, he needed a fast ride out of there and to the nearest rebel post, which I will gladly help you locate Hera. He helped us get to your new docking bay." Luke replied. "Sure we can drop him off, come with me Luke to set up the coordinates." Hera said. Luke got up from where he was sitting and followed her to the cockpit.
Meanwhile Kanan was debating on whether or not he should ask Jamen any questions about Luke, when Zeb went and did it for him. "So how do you know Luke?" "You mean the commander? I was under him for a while in the rebellion before I came to Coruscant." "Luke is a commander?" Zeb said with some surprise, "But he seems so…" "So unlike what you would expect in one? Well I can tell you, he earned that title."
"How so?" Kanan asked with interest. "Well for one thing he blew up the first Death Star. Then when he became a Jedi…" "Wait, how old was he when he became a Jedi?" Kanan interrupted. "I would say he was about 18/19 when he joined us. He had had a little training but it wasn't until after the Death Star that he really got serious about it." Jamen replied. Hera and Luke returned and Zeb and Kanan dropped the subject.
Kanan felt a little bit guilty about asking behind Luke's back about him. Yeah the guy hadn't told him this, but really when did they have time to? And he hadn't even tried asking Luke these questions himself, he might have just told him anyways. "Would any of you please show me somewhere I can catch a few winks?" Jamen asked after he found out it would be awhile before they got to where they were going.
"Sure Jamen, you can bunk in my room." said Luke. "Zeb can show you where it is, right Zeb?" Kanan asked, his eyes begging Zeb to let him and Luke be alone. Hera also caught the look and said, "I got to get back to the front and keep an eye on the instruments. Come one Chopper, R2 you're welcome to stay or join us." R2 followed Chopper and Hera out, while Zeb said "Yeah I was thinking about a nap myself, follow me." Though his eyes said he wished he was staying behind to listen.
When they were alone Kanan said "Luke I have to admit, I started asking Jamen about you. I'm sorry I should have just asked you myself." Luke smiled and said "Don't worry about it Kanan. It's hard to trust someone you don't know. Tell you how you can make it up to me, tell me who were those people following us down there?"
