The Love Of A Father

Chapter 5

Darth Vader barely noticed the medic beside him wrapping bandages around his arms. It was so hard to believe just like that Luke was gone. This is why Luke should have been with him! He never should have let Luke go with the princess. His son should have stayed with him. But he let him go. This was all his fault.

"Lord Vader I recommend th-"

"I'm leaving, I have no time to rest." Vader snapped.

"Y-Yes Lord Vader." The woman replied.

Vader stood up, ignoring the pain, then put on a shirt and left. He would not rest until he found his son. It was as simple as that. If Sidious dared to try and stop him... He would disobey his master if it came to Luke, even if he might be punished for it afterwards. Luke was far too important.

He picked the comm of his belt and quickly spoke into it.

"Captain Piett, any sign of where Luke's kidnappers could be?" Vader demanded.

"No sir...but the Emperor wishes to speak to you," Piett replied.

Vader's hands balled into fists, he didn't have time for this. "Very well."

He turned off the comm then stormed back to his quarters, anyone that got in his way was either thrown to the side or choked. Vader soon entered his quarters and didn't dare look towards Luke's room. That's where his son should be at this very moment. He should be in his room happy, not...wherever he was now. But he vowed to find him and bring him home.

The sith apprentice bowed down just as the Emperor appeared.

"What is thy bidding my master?"

"Lord Vader...I've heard about your son. My deepest apologies." Palpatine replied.

"Thank you, my master. I intend to find him quickly."

Palpatine didn't mean what he said. It was only a false ruse. Like when he talked to him back in the day when he was younger and stupid. But now he was stronger...or so he thought he was. If he was truly stronger he would have been able to save his son back in the hangar.

"You do? My friend, I can only give you ten days. If you can't find him before that...I'm afraid your son is lost." Palpatine said, a fake look of worry on his face.

"I can find him," Vader replied instantly.

He would find Luke within the ten days or not, he would find him.

Whatever it takes.

********

Vader paced back and forth, reading a datapad in his hand that had been sent to him by one of his secret agents. It had been two days since Palpatine had given him the ten day limit and he had finally gotten something. He didn't know if it was anything good or not, but he hoped it was.

Lord Vader, I have discovered the whereabouts of your son. I have found a hidden base on the planet of Kashyyyk my lord. I got inside the base and took a look around. Your son was on the detention level with a young female with brown hair and she looks like she's around Luke's age. I would have saved Luke but too many people were around and I would have been caught and you may have not been able to send this to you. Down below is a set of coordinates.

Agent Temen.

Vader could hardly believe it. His son had been found. Luke. He was coming for his son and no one could stop him. But he had a question. Why would they take Luke to Kashyyyk when it was an Imperial occupied world? Sure if it weren't for his agent he would never go or care about Kashyyyk. But it was interesting as to why they would do that.
