I walk up to the cock pit hoping that we will be on Tattoine soon.

" Hey Bane, how long till we get to Tattoine?"

He grunts at me and the IG-11 droid answers.

" We will arrive at Tattoine in 1 hour, 40 minutes , and 25 seconds. "

" Um , thanks?"

Just then our ship is hit . I'm thrown to the ground,  hitting  my head.

My vision goes fuzzy I quickly pull my comm from my pocket. And hit the first number I remember.

" This is Captain Killian Jones, who dares to come me at this late hour."

I say
" Cherry Mocktail."

" Lass, that you?"  He asks quickly.

" Need help, under attack. Help me find my family."

Before I black out I hear him say.

" Hang on Lass! Hang on!"

****Killian POV*****

I look to my helmsman and tell her to lay in a heading.
I sit in my chair hoping and praying to any one who will listen that I'm not to late.

We arrive to find a smoking Rogue class Porax-38.

  Hoping for some good news.
" what is it Romla?"  I ask

" I'm only detecting one life sign coming from an escape pod. Female , injured but alive."

I sigh in relief
" Set a course to intercept. Call for Calypso to meet me in the docking bay. Who knows what condition the Lass is in."

I quickly make my way to the docking bay . Meeting Calypso at the door is just luck.

" I'm not so sure about this Killian. What do we know about this woman?"
She ask's hesitantly.

" that she's a good woman who needs our help." I growl down at her .

She sighs in resignation and follows after me.

When I get to the pod I see smoke coming from the window. Dread fills me.

She's going to suffocate!

" Calypso! Quickly! Smoke is filling the pod! She's going to smother to death!" She runs towards me and starts fiddling with the controls to release the door. I look inside to see the Lass slumped over and her forehead bleeding profusely.

" Hurry up with that Door Cal!"

Panic laces my voice and I see her eyes widen at my tone. I never loose my cool.

" Step Back Captain." She utters finally after several tense minutes.

I step back and watch as the door slowly grinds upwards. Smoke blooming outwards , finally having a place to go.

I jump inside, cut the Lass from her harness. I quickly pick her up and jump down from the pod with her in my arms. She groans as we land.

" Easy Lass, I've got ya."
Her eyes flutter open for a moment. She looks confused as she says my name.
" Killian.....?" before promptly passing out.

" Aye Lass, don't worry we'll take care of ya. Help ya find ya family."

I place her down on the gurney and allow Cal to take care of her.

She wheels the Lass away and I feel a tugging in my frozen heart.

I'll have to send out a notice to my contacts. See if we can't find that husband of Hers.

I make my way back down to the cock pit. Thinking over how I'm going to find her family.

When I get there Romla and Tolin look at me in worry.

" She alright?" Asks Romla
I shrug as I pull up my contact list.

" Cal is with her now. She's banged up. Probably has smoke inhalation. Has a nasty gash above her left eye. Hopefully she'll be alright."

Tolin starts wringing her hands in anxiousness.

" What if she doesn't make it Captain?" She asks in those squeaks and clicks of hers.

Dread fills me as that thought crosses my mind.

" Then May the force guide her until she's well again."

Tolin nods and resumes her duties. The Drall sent Tolin to me as a liason before the republic fell. I was a different man back then..

 I was a different man back then

She's been with me ever since. Her home was overtaken by the Empire . Drall now an outpost to 3,000 troopers. The Empire had inslaved the Drallonians to mine a rare mineral that only the locals could get to.

" Killian.....she's awake and asking for you."

Says Calypso from my personal Comm.

" I'm on my way."

Romla and Tolin look worried.

" I'll let ya know if anything happens ."

I stomp my way to the medbay, praying the whole way that she's alright.

When I step inside I freeze when I see a weak looking ZARA.

" ZARA are you alright?" I quickly move to her side .

She smiles at me and says
" I guess we partied to hard last night after the bar huh?"

I freeze realizing she's forgotten. The last two months.

" Lass, we meet two months ago. You called an SOS to my personal comm. from what Calypso had seen, ya were tortured not long after that. Do ya remember anything?"

She just stares up at me and shakes her head no.

" I don't remember anything except that you and I meet in a Bar. I remember being pregnant then but now....."

She places both hands on her flat stomach and tears leak from her eyes .

" I think I may have lost my baby."

I realize right then she's lost her memory. She has amnesia.

Bollacks.
