#4 "I know you didn't ask for this."

As you walk through the spaceport, a quick thought of running and getting attention from a guard was squashed when he seemed to read your thoughts.

"I can bring you in warm. Or I can bring you in cold." He said tapping the blaster on his hip. "I get the same amount either way."

You decide not to test whether or not he would really shoot you unarmed and bound. So you continued to walk along with him. Your shoes were cutting blisters into your heels and a single tear rolled down your cheek.

"Why here? Why Nar?" He asked me.

I swallowed hard. "I thought I was far enough away from any of you people."

"How did that work out for you?"

We walked through the spaceport till we got to where his ship was docked, he hit a button on the pad on his bracer on his right wrist and a ramp from his ship lowered to the ground.

"Yaim" He said. And pushed you up the ramp.

You tried to remember studying Mando'a while at the academy, but it was not coming to you. Your look of concentration must have been obvious to him.

"Home." He said. And pushed a button on his wrist again, the ramp came up and the inside of the ship sprang to life. Buzzers and sensors going off in the cockpit causing him to slowly turn and look. He hit a panel with a closed fist and the buzzer stopped. "Fucking jawas... Took the whole ship apart. It still has some... quirks." He walked along to a door to a small bunk area. "I am here. You will be there."

It was a small cot in what was probably a cargo hold at one point in time. But sure beats a body bag you thought to yourself.

"Or you can travel in carbonite if you rather..."

"No, no. This is fine. But I wish I had something other than this dress." You said as you realize just how skimpy of a dress it was.

"Sleep." He said and pointed to the cot. Apparently, he is not taking the cuffs off of you. So you sit down and try to think about what is about to happen when he turns you in.

Shortly after you felt the ship take off, more tears streamed down your face. You just wanted to finish your classes and move on with your life. He must have heard you crying because when you looked up in his direction, he was watching you.

"I know you didn't ask for this. And I normally don't ask what my targets did... but what the hell did you do?"

With your eyes burning from crying, "I killed a man who tried to rape me. He happened to be the son of an ambassador. I have zero credits to my name, my gun belt is missing... but I am willing to do anything. Just... please."
