Towards the future I see

Chapter 10 Part 2

Once we got to Garel, Tetsu left immediately to search for the cargo. I stayed in a nearby hotel. Waiting for her. Which turned out to be a wise choice since she came back the next day.

"Okay, I got good news and bad news." Tetsu began.

"Let's start with the good news," I said.

"The good news is that I located your tapestries," Tetsu said.

"And the bad news is?" I asked.

"It is no longer in the hands of imperials," Tetsu said.

"What?"

"I found the hangar where the crate was supposed to be but it turns out that just recently some rebels stole it and other crates. It took me all night to find where they are, but when I got there the place was empty. So they have a ship and are not in Garel anymore." She said.

Oh great. Rebels aren't as bad as the Empire but they are not better either. Information about the future in anyone's hands is risky. But sneaking into a rebel ship is easier than sneaking into an Imperial ship. If I find it.
I paid Tetsu the location fee after she told me about the hangar where rebels kept their ship. According to my visions, rebellion isn't at its full strength yet, so they need any place to land their ships. Which meant they will be back someday. Finding the hangar was easy. And it was empty, but I still went over the place hoping for a miracle that my tapestries were still there. No success. So I stayed and waited for their arrival, it wasn't so much hard. I had to wait for three days. And when I saw their ship and crew, it got hard. They were six of them. Two human males, one Mandalorian female, one Lasat male, one Twi'lek female, and a droid. Chances for me to get inside their ship were going to be tricky. Tricky but not impossible.

I needed a day to plan the whole thing. And another day to practice before I would commence the mission. On the day when everyone was one way or another not inside the ship. I would act. And that day came quickly.

The two humans were almost out talking to each other while the Lasat followed behind them. The Mandalorian was talking with the twi'lek at the entrance to the ship which seemed to be for large cargo. The droid was hopefully somewhere charging. I stretched to the force and used it and moved a few objects outside the hangar. Just a little. The two humans saw it. A crate that moved on its own. And yes they ran after it. Looking around for someone or something indicating what was going on. Lasat followed them asking what is going on. Now I moved another object, this time it was a piece of trash covered with a worn-out rag that when moved looked like a person. I made it move just as if someone was running past and lurking near the hangar. That made the Mandalorian and the Twi'lek move away from the ship. Now that everyone was gone, the way to the ship was clear for me.
I was very tired of using the force but I made it quickly to the ship and inside. As I suspected the ship was big enough to transport cargo almost of any sort. There were ladders leading up so I took them. I found myself in the cockpit. And right next to me was the droid. For a moment I thought it would sound the alarm but it didn't move. Probably charging. I moved quietly to the hallway behind the cockpit. Once the doors were closed I sighed with relief. I haven't been found out yet. Now I looked at the hallway and found many doors. At the far side at my left and right were probably the airlocks for boarding another ship. There was a ladder leading up to the gun and down to probably the crew's quarters. So, I went down. There were five doors in front of me. I sneaked past four of them and opened the last one only to find some sort of common room area. But nothing indicated that my tapestries were there.
I tried the other doors. They were cabins for the crew. At first, I wondered who slept where. But the painting in one room was enough to indicate that the young boy and the Lasat shared the room. One belonged to a pilot. One had a strong feeling of the force but I found nothing telling me where it came from. The fourth room was the jackpot. It had many paintings around the room. But my eyes immediately land on the tapestry hanging on the top bed.
