"Call me crazy, but I know we're being watched," I whispered, the muscles in my legs and arms immediately locking as the hairs on my neck began to pop up like daisies in the snow, "Beat, please give me a reading."

BE-A7, or Beat, as I like to call him, was a reprogramed Magna Guard that had been cast aside during the early times in the Clone Wars, snapped up, his long-nosed sniper immediately up as he scanned the area for any other forms of life. Him and I were on a very dangerous bounty hunt. I am being paid thousands of credits to bring in a Chiss by the name of Rod Amber. He was wanted for data reprograming, and was a menace to everyone involved in the war,

"5 o'clock," the droid croaked out, his robotic fingers setting gently on the trigger of his weapon, "Take the shot?"

I went to give him the affirmative, but something in me hesitated. I pulled out my own blaster and stepped forward, "Cover me."

"Gladly," Beat responded, tightening his grip on the weapon, "Give the word, and they're dead."

I nodded in agreement, and crept forward, "We know you're there, asshole. Just come out, and I might let you live."

"Oh, I don't think so, lil' lady," the voice responded; obviously from a humanoid alien. But, the voice sounded shockingly familiar, "You and I are after the same target, and trust me, you don't want to get in the way of me and a target. Never ends well for anyone besides me."

My hands began shaking; not from fear or intimidation, but from happiness, "I recognize that voice anywhere, my old friend. I thought you were dead."

The voice that was hidden hesitated. It was evident that he didn't recognize my voice, but that was to be expected. It had been many, many moons since Cad and I had met,

"(Y/N)?" he whispered finally, a smirk indicated in his voice. The Duros stuck his head out of his hiding place. I recognize that hat anywhere. It was Cad Bane!

"Stand down, Beat!" I commanded, laying a hand on the droid's shoulder, "This is an old friend of mine; Cad Bane."

The droid listened to my command, but I could tell he was quite confused over my decision. I never spared anyone who interfered, even old bounty partners. What was so special about this Duros? All these thoughts were speeding through the droid's head, but he couldn't come to a logical conclusion about why Cad Bane wasn't dead yet.

Cad stepped out from behind the rock fully; a little droid following him, "You thought I was dead, hmm?" he questioned, holstering his guns away, "No one kills me."

"I know this," I responded, doing the same with my blaster; Beat following my movements, "But I just couldn't find you after our senator mission. I feared that Obi-Wan Kenobi had taken you from me."

The Duros sat silently for a moment; his little droid scanning curiously at mine. His droid was probably just as confused as Beat about why I wasn't dead either, "It was complicated. After we failed to kidnap the Chancellor, Dooku threatened us all. He said he wouldn't pay us until the Chancellor was a hostage. So, the rest of us that survived or weren't captured just slunk into hiding, planning a way to catch Palpatine."
