Star Wars: Cross Paths

Chapter 139 - Planning the trip

Almost a week had passed and in a few days, the students would arrive from their time with their families.

During that time Luke was planning to go to Kamino. He knew they were the best in cloning and if they were that he was sure Gideon had taken doctors from there and he needed to get that information. The trip to Kamino would make him be away at least a week, since it would take 3 days to travel from Coruscant to there, so he needed to plan everything in detail and also the lessons the kids would need to take, since they would arrive two days after he left, so Ines would be in charge of the Academy.

***************************

Right now he was in the Temple. It was time to have a conversation with Kino and Idda. Through all this time, he didn't have a chance to talk to them, but he didn't want to either. They need to take the hint that he was upset with them after that night. But he wanted to talk to them before he left. After all they also helped to find Alli that night.

Walking in, Aurea walked in his direction and gave him a hug

"Hello dear. How are you?"

"Hey Aurea. I'm fine. How is everything here?" he asked her

"Ready to received my dear kids that I miss so much" she said making him laughed. The fact was the kids really liked Aurea. For them she was like a grandmother and she didn't mind. Of course him and Ines made sure she was not alone all the time there, so she sometimes had lunch and dinner with them, other night they ate in the Temple.

"I'm sure they miss you too," he said smiling at her.

"I know you are not going to be here the first days after they arrived." she spoke making Luke nod at her.

"I'm going to Kamino in two days. It is a long trip of 3 days to reach there. So I will be away for a week. But Ines can take care of them."

"Oh yes. The kids love her," she smiled. "But why are you going there? Something do about what happened to Alli?"

Luke nod

"Kamino was known for their clones. It was there the clone troopers were create. My brother in law told me they are making a clone using my hand that I lost back in Bespin. If the shadows of the Empire are cloning, and the Kaminoans are the best in the subject, so I'm sure they got some of them to help them."

"Do you think they will tell you something?" Aurea asked him "Isn't there private information?"

"Well if I have to know what is going on, I think I can work my way out" he winked

"Alright. How are the kids and especially how is Alli?"

"They are fine. Getting bigger by the minute and Alli is recovered. The first day Ines and I had to change a lot of diapers. Never thought a kid that size could poop so much."

"The poor thing was constipated. I bet she felt so much better after that," Aurea laughed

"You have no idea. She is a normal self now," he smiled thinking of his little girl.

"But I bet you are not here just to see how is everything," she told him with her hands on her hips.

Luke smiled. Aurea already knew him very well.

"I'm meeting here with Kino and Idda. It is time to have a serious conversation with those two" he told her

"Go easy on them. They were trying to help, but you are right to be upset. I'm not saying otherwise," she said. "When did you asked them to come here?"

Looking at the time he replied

"At 1600 hours, which is right now" he said

"Well at least they can get in time," she spoke pointing to the entrance where Kino and Idda had entered. "I will leave the three of you alone,"
