The Fett Legacy

CHAPTER 14

Back at the large First Order ship, General Hux was waiting for me.

"Ah, Jetta, did you find it?" He asked walking up to the Revenant.

"Yes, it was exactly where you said it would be," I informed him, walking down the ramp. "And the girl seems to have left the base."

"Where is she going?"

"I do not know," I said. "But, if you get there in time, you may have a chance at destroying it."

"Very well, I will tell the Supreme Leader," Armitage said. "Would you care to join me?" He extended his arm; I took it and looked at him.

"Of course," I said. I looked back at the ship; Zors and Rosemary were standing on the ramp.

"Stay with the ship," I ordered. Zors nodded but Rosemary ran to me.

"I wanna go with you," She stubbornly insisted.

"No. It's too dangerous. The Supreme Leader wouldn't allow it."

"But, Mom, please!"

"No, Rosemary. Get back to the ship," I commanded. She huffed, stamped her foot, and ran back to Zors.

"You certainly have a way with children, Jetta," Armitage said as we entered the lift together.

"No, I don't. Somehow, I manage with her," I said.

"What are you going to do with her when you have our child?" He asked, looking down at my stomach. I looked at it too.

"I don't know. She would be a great help," I suggested. He nodded.

"I'm going to ask the Supreme Leader for a leave to help you with the child. As soon as we destroy the Resistance, you and I can have time together. We can raise our child and live peacefully."

"I know what you want to do, Armitage, but if the Supreme Leader finds out, he'll have you killed."

"Only two people stand in my way. If they are rid of, I will become Supreme Leader," he said. I looked up at him.

"Don't say that. Not here. You'll be seen as a traitor and killed. Follow orders; do what you must; but stay alive. Please," I said.

"If I can take over the First Order, you will be my queen."

"Armitage, please. Don't do this. Not now. Everything will come in its own time," I said. He sighed.

"Yes, you're right. But I promise, you will rule beside me."

"Don't promise that; you don't know," I said. We remained silent as the lift doors opened; once again I was in the throne room of Supreme Leader Snoke.

"Ah, Jetta, Hux, what a pleasure! Anything to report?"

"Yes, Supreme Leader, Jetta has found and verified the location of the base," Armitage said. The Supreme Leader smiled.

"Thank you General. Please inform all ships to set a course for the Ileenium system," he said with an evil grin.

"Of course, sir," he said. He bowed and left the room. I remained where I was, unsure of what to say or do.

"The child."

"I'm sorry, what?"

"The young child you have taken in. What is her name?"

"Rosemary," I said.

"Such a beautiful name. And I see you have claimed her as your own?"

"Yes, Supreme Leader," I told him.
