Disclaimer: I don't own anything this is just a story for fun.
Valerie was piloting her 720 freighter towards planet Casper. The freighter was named the Ravager and it was painted red. The ship landed at a port in Goza and Valerie got out. According to some of the information she got from the Empire, there seemed to be Rebel activity going onion the city. Valerie knew where to find people to get information about the Rebels. The bounty hunter got a speeder bike and headed to the club Mos Holla to speak with Arok. The Hutt crime lord would probably know more about the Rebels then the Empire. An hour later Valerie arrived at the club. The bounty walked in and made her way to the bar. Valerie ordered a drink and removed her helmet to reveal her dark skin and black hair.
Valerie sipped her drink as she looked around and spotted Arok on the floor above smoking and sitting in his hover chair. The bounty hunter also noticed a couple of men harassing three women that appeared to be slave girls. Valerie frowned as she put her helmet on, grabbed a glass bottle, and made her way up to the second floor and approached the two men harassing the slave girls from behind.
"Hey." Said Valerie .
One of the men turned around and Valerie smashed the bottle over his head breaking it and knocking the man unconscious. The other man looked angrily at Valerie and tried to pull a blaster out, but Valerie hit him with a stun blast and knocked him out. The man wasn't worth an actually blaster shot. The slave girls looked at Valerie with gratitude.
"Thank you." Said the oldest looking of the three with a bow.
Valerie was fixing to respond, when she heard the sound of several blasters charging up and looked to see a dozen gangsters pointing blasters at her. Arok and a tall man in a black robe named Hotep-Ra stood before Valerie. The slave girls quickly got away from Valerie as Arok glared at the bounty hunter, then the Hutt let out a booming laugh and motioned for his men to lower their weapons. Arok said something to Hotep-Ra and the man approached Valerie.
"My master is impressed by your skills. Those two men were annoyances and we're glad you dealt with them. Now tell us why you are here. We don't see many bounty hunters like you around here." Said Hotep-Ra.
"I'm looking for a particular group of Rebels active in this city. Two of these Rebels are said to be Jedi and the Empire is offering a big reward for their capture. I came here for information and I'm willing to give sixty percent of the reward I receive after I capture the Rebels to Arok in exchange for any useful information I get." Said Valerie.
Arok summoned Hotep-Ra over to him and they engaged in a little talk, before Hotep-Ra turned back to Valerie.
"Arok is pleased with your offer and is willing to do business with you." Said Hotep-Ra.
"Glad to hear that." Said Valerie.
"We have an informant in the Rebels and according to him there's a hanger downtown that contains a Rebel ship crewed by a man and a Shistavanen. Both are friends to the Jedi and according to our informant, they along with one of the Jedi are going to meet with Chaos and discuss future strategies against the Empire." Said Shistavanen.
"Well thanks for the information. I really appreciate it." Said Valerie.
Hotep-Ra gave Valerie the hanger number and the bounty hunter left the club and got onto her speeder bike. The hunt was on.
To be continued.
