Chapter Thirty Seven,

Meagan's point of view

I stirred slightly at the sound of voices penetrating my sleep state. Slowly, recognizing them as Hayden and Ben's, I pushed myself fully awake, sitting up in bed. "What's going on?"

The two looked up from what they were working on. "We're going to be out for a while, exploring several barges. This will be our chance to see what these guys are planning. Everyone seems to be waiting for Caddock's next move."

It had been a long week since we first arrived and nothing had really happened except for more information gathering....well they did the work while I got the drinks. "When do we leave?"

"You're staying here.." Hayden looked down, while Ben addressed me.

"By myself?" I had to force the words past the sudden lump in my throat. "I'm not staying in this filth while you two go off to who knows where."

Ben raised an eyebrow. "It's too dangerous."

"And leaving me here alone isn't?" It wasn't that I couldn't take of myself, but being in a den of pirates alone wasn't a smart idea.

Hayden finally looked up, but wisely didn't comment. He'd long ago learned to stay out of our fights and squabbles.

Ben sighed as he thought about it before answering. "Alright, you can come, but stay close to one of us. Neither of us knows what's going to happen next."

I nodded and rose to dress. With in the next hour we left.

I stayed close behind Ben as the three of us went to the nearest bar. Groups were gathering, all anxious to see what was going to happen. Hayden went off to join a group of teens in a corner, barely seen by the swirling darkness.

Meanwhile, Ben and I went on to a smokey table in another corner. It strangely looked like a poker game, with chips and cards spread across the table along with several empty shot glasses. I couldn't help but wonder what this was about or how it was going to help us when a rough, older looking pirate spoke.

"Well, look's whose back. The famous Ben." He drawled, making my ears wince at his bad English. "Care to join us?"

Ben eyed the four men at the table before answering the question. "What are the stakes?"

"As high as you want. Can you handle it?" The challenge spoke volumes in his dark shifty eyes. One that I knew my husband couldn't resist.

"I can handle anything." He sat down in the empty chair, then reached back and handed me some coins. "Get us something to drink woman."

After taking the drink orders, I wound my way back to the bar. Taking them on a tray, I went back, ignoring the cat calls and whistles that followed me. After I distributed the drinks, I was about to find a seat nearby when Ben pulled me down on his lap. Utterly surprised by his move, I heard in my mind. "Stay close."

I nodded, settling into his lap.

"Where'd you find that one?" One asked as they continued to play. "She must have been worth a bundle."

Ben just laughed. "Oh, she just landed in my lap."

As the games continued, the conversations swirled around, covering all kinds of different subjects. Ben was obviously information gathering, but I was completely lost. Though I had a strong feeling it had to do with Caddock's recent appearance.

At some point I went to go get drink refills when I felt a pair of hands pull me back by my hair. Trying not to cry out in pain and thinking my way out of this, I twisted quickly to my right.

Luckily it worked and I turned to kick the stunned man, but another man came from behind me, pinning me against him. I wiggled and ducked, trying to set myself free, but the man's arms were like iron.

"I like you woman." He whispered seductively in my ear. "Let's go find a nice quiet place....."

"No." I protested, still trying to get out of his hold, and sent a cry of help to Ben.

He must have sensed my trouble before I called him because within seconds he knocked the first pirate to the ground.

The man holding me gazed at Ben for a second before pulling a blaster that hung from his hip. During that second, Ben had sensed his intentions and shot him in the shoulder. He howled in pain, dropping to the ground before looking up at Ben with utter hatred.

"I'll get you for this." He growled as I moved to Ben's side.

"I'd like to see you try." Ben kicked the gun out of reach. "Besides I own her anyway."

The guy growled again before retreating to another room.

"Desiree, you can't stay out of trouble can you?" Ben asked me as we walked back to the table. I could feel most everyone watching us.

"You're the one that makes me wear this." I fired back at me, still feeling a bit worked up from the previous scene.

We had approached the table and the pirates, who must have heard and saw the exchange, were laughing.

"I like lots of sass. If Ben approves, I just might like to have you entertain me for a few days."

"In your dreams." I sat back down on Ben's lap as another started shuffling the cards.

They all laughed again. "Well, baby, I'll see you then."

I glared at him as I felt Ben start calming my nerves down.

"He's just playing with you. He won't take you anywhere." Of course he was right. I did need to calm down.

"You were pretty quick out there." Another commented to Ben, changing the subject slightly. "And taking down Cline isn't easy either."

The name meant nothing to me, but I could tell it did to Ben, though he showed no outward appearance of it, only answering. "One less to deal with, for a while at least."

The game went on for a little while longer before it broke up, everyone taking their winnings or paying the others. However, Ben and I slowly meandered through the throngs, most of them giving us way or commenting on the earlier scene. We explored a few more areas before heading back to our rooms for the night. So, by the time we made it, I was past exhausted and laid down on the bed, not even bothering to change clothes.

"You alright?" I looked up to see Ben gazing down at me with concern in his eyes.

"After a good night's sleep I'll be fine." I told him, finally pulling my shoes off and climbed into bed.

Ben gently tucked me into bed before kissing me sweetly. I was just about asleep when an exited Hayden burst into the room. We hadn't seen him since early that morning.

Ben immediately hushed him and I barely heard the younger one's apology as I drifted off to a deep sleep, barely thinking that Ben's hand on my forehead had something to do with it.

Obi-Wan's point of view

I watched through the swirling darkness as Caddock came towards me. Finally, I was meeting this pirate and he would be brought down. A long two days had passed since the incident involving Desiree and Cline. Caddock had heard about it and sent someone to find me, which is what sent Hayden rushing into our room only hours after it happened.

"I'd heard you'd come back." His deep growl sounded through the heavy air, interrupting my thoughts. As he approached I could see two other large men flanking him on both sides. "Looking for some action?"

I crossed my arms across my chest, trying to look imposing and casual at the same time. "Why do you think I"m here?"

He laughed. "Good. I need someone with sharp wit and quick reflexes."

I weighed my next words carefully. "I can handle that."

He raised an eyebrow. "Ya sure?"

I stepped up close. "I'll be your man Caddock or your worst enemy."

The silence that followed was thick with tension before the pirate spoke again, but I knew he would go for it. "You have twenty four hours to ditch the kid and sell your woman, though I've heard she has quite the mouth."

I thought on this for a moment, before making a split decision. "We have a deal."

Caddock nodded and the trio walked away. I smiled to myself as I went down to the nearest bar where Ren would most likely be. The undercover ring had to know where I was going, that I could lead that pirate crew straight into the hands of the Jedi team who was waiting for us to bring them the pirates. Then once Caddock was taken into custody, the rest would follow.

I was determined to bring these guys down. It would happen. I could feel it through the Force and in every fiber of my being.

Meagan's point of view

I entered the room to find Ben leaning over something at the small table. I sensed an immediate urgency that hadn't been there since the night he shot Cline. Something else had happened since then, something that had to do with that meeting he went to this morning.....

"You'd better get your few things together and quickly." He didn't even look up from what was so seriously working on. "We're leaving."

"What's going on?" I asked, but immediately took the small survival bag and started throwing my things into it.

"I don't have time to explain." He stood up and handed me the locket he usually wore. "No matter what happens, keep this safe."

Taking it from him, I slipped the necklace around my neck and tucked it underneath my clothing.

He leaned down, shifting through his bag and brought out his lightsaber. "And whatever you do, let no one see this. I can't take it with me. Where's your bag?"

Shocked that he was letting me keep his lightsaber, I turned and pointed toward the bed.

Without speaking a word, he buried it in my bag before turning back to me, a dagger in his other hand.

"You'll need this." He stepped close to me, scanning my body closely before saying. "I think you could find a place for this."

I looked at the dagger in his hand, then down to my tight fitting clothes, wondering where I was going to put this.......Suddenly I took the weapon from his hand, easily attaching and fitting it on my chest.

Ben watched me, raising an eyebrow in interest. "Wouldn't have thought of that."

I shrugged, smiling slightly. "Well, of course you didn't, you're a man. Females are capable of holding things in their chest."

He eyed my chest for a moment, a slight twinkle in his eyes. "I could see how that's possible, especially with you."

I nodded as he bent down and retrieved our bags and began to led me from the room, ending the conversation.

"Where's Hayden?" I asked as we walked through the swirls of darkness, trying to get him to tell me what he was up to.

"He's with Ren. He'll be fine." And I knew from experience, I wasn't getting anything more from him now.

And I was still a bit confused, but knew that Ben knew what he was doing. We wound our way through one of the barges to another one. The area was pretty crowded with people and other creatures coming and going.

Ben greeted another man, talking quietly to him before motioning back to me. A few minutes later, I leaned in close to see what was going on, just as Ben handed him a sack of what sounded like coins.

What was he selling.............I suddenly got it.................."NOOOOOOOO." I protested through our bond. "What are you doing?"

"It's alright Meagan." He sent back as he finished his transaction with the shifty looking pirate. "Trust me love."

With that I watched him walk away through a swirl of darkness.

"Let's go woman." The pirate grabbed my wrist, nearly dragging me down to the floor. I bite down on my lip to keep from crying out in pain as I managed to catch my balance and follow the pirate who now owned me. As I walked, I turned back slightly, well knowing he went in the opposite direction. I was utterly alone. All that I could hold onto was the last words Ben had told me. "Trust me love."

AN We're sorry that the chapter took so long to finish and post. We had plenty of ideas of what will happen in the near future but nothing for this chapter. But we finally finished it. Since we have so many ideas of what is going to happen, the next chapters should be posted pretty quickly. We hope you enjoy them!!!!!

And now for our LOTR Quote:

"I think we made a mistake leaving the Shire, Pippin."
