"Hey. We're here" Han pushes my arm waking me up from my short nap. I stand up to my feet while flattening out my shirt, following him and Chewy out of the Millennium Falcon.
We ty to quickly make our way to the lady's home, since we probably look like thieves in a place like this. "Oh you're back!" The lady opens her door with a smile.
"Yes ma'am and we've got your necklace" I pull it out of my satchel and hand it to her smiling.
"Oh thank you so much! I still can't believe my ungrateful son stole this from me." She huffs as I look at Han and Chewy awkwardly. "Stay here I'll get you your reward!" She holds up her hand for us to stay out before walking away.
She comes back about a minute later and hands me the money, "Thank you very much"
"Oh no thank you! Good luck with things" She smiles grabbing the door to close it.
"Thank you, have a nice day" I nod to her, she nods back and then shuts the door. So I turn to Han, Chewy and RJ, "Ship first, then I'll give you your cut"
"Let's go look then" Han motions us to follow him.
I stay back talking with Chewy and notice Han look back every once in awhile. "I think he's jealous I'm taking his best friend" I joke making Chewy laugh.
"Hey! Shouldn't you be up here with me? This is your purchase for a ship!" He grumbles as me and Chewy continue laughing.
He narrows his eyes back at me, "Alright alright fine" I roll my eyes walking up next to Han. "I was only kidding"
"Yea, why don't you shut up and look for a ship" He scoffs making me chuckle.
After searching for awhile we found a nice looking ship, I asked about it and it's supposed to be really good. After talking about it for a little bit I decided to buy it. "Alright well. Here's what's left over, I think this is a good amount. If you want more I can see what we have" I rummage through my satchel when Han grabs a hold of it to stop me.
"It's alright. This is perfect. Thanks" He let's go and takes a step back standing next to Chewy.
"Thank you both for giving us a ride. And helping me out, saving me actually. That guy would've killed me if you hadn't intervened" I chuckle and rub the back of my neck nervously.
"Don't mention it. That wasn't too bad, and it gave us something to do." He smiles and holds his hand out to me, "Pleasure doing business with you"
"Yea. Pleasure doing business with you too" I smile grabbing his hand and shaking it.
"If you ever need anything.. and you can find me. I'll help you" He let's go of my hand and nods.
"Really? Why? I thought you'd want me to leave you alone" I chuckle lightly shoving my hands in my pockets.
"That was the plan. But you seem like a good kid. Stay that way alright? There's a lot of people you can't trust in this world" He warns me, pointing his finger at me.
"Thanks, I'll keep that in mind." I smile and turn to Chewy who growls and hugs me. "Oh, bye big guy. Maybe I'll see you again soon" I laugh patting Chewy on the back as he squeezes me tightly.
"Alright Chewy, let go of your new friend and let's head out. Bye to you to RJ" Han waves and turns away.
"Goodbye Han and Chewy" Chewy pats RJ on the head then follows Han back to their ship.
"Ready to go home with our new ship RJ?" I turn to RJ with a big smile on my face.
"It's been a long day Leo" He beeps a few times as we walk into our new ship.
"I agree. I need some sleep" I laugh starting up the ship. "Let's get home"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back at home I'm woken up by loud and rapid beeping. "RJ?" I throw my blankets off myself and get up quickly from my bed to see my living room trashed. "RJ!?" I yell looking around frantically.
"LEO!" I hear from outside my hut.
I run outside to see two unknown ships outside my home. "Hey! Assholes! Give me my droid back!" I yell not noticing I'm only in shorts. The two men turn to me, one of them holding RJ. "Let him go!" I growl taking a step forward. They don't say anything, they just look at each other silently. The one holding RJ takes him onto the ship, so I run at him but the other guy steps in front of me. Before I could react he jabs me in the side with an electric baton. "Give. Me. My. RJ!!" I get up to my feet punching the man to the floor. I wrap my hands around his throat starting to squeeze tightly. Suddenly I feel a sharp pain in my other side. I look down to a now open wound in my side where the other man had just shot me with a blaster. Then the other guy grabs the baton and tases me with it. Then everything went dark.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wake up in an unknown room, well actually I'm pretty sure it's a cell. I look around and feel a sharp pain in my side. I touch my side and wince in pain. I seem to be wrapped up on my sides and some cloth over my open wound. I try standing up but quickly stumble back and fall onto my butt. "Damn it" I lean back on the wall of the cell taking slow breathes, trying to ignore the pain in my sides. "Where the hell am I?" I ask myself as if I know the answer to my own question.
"Look who's awake" I hear a soft voice come from the door of my cell. I then hear the door open and shut, "Want me to patch you up?"
I look up and I'm met with beautiful emerald, green eyes. "Who are you?"
"The person who saved you from being killed. Come on let me fix you up"
