Ram'ser (Crosshair)

Mission gone wrong

Saida huffed as she peered through her rifle at Kiara Lioma who was on her balcony. She adjusted the scope on her rifle and held her finger at the trigger.

She was about to take the shot when she heard the cocking of a gun behind her.

"What do you think you're doing with that darling?" Came a long drawl from behind her.

Saida froze and slowly turned around.

A silver haired man stood there, with a rifle resting on his shoulder.

"None of your business," Saida replied coolly.

"Ah, but it is," The man smirked and pointed at Kiara Lioma in the distance. "I'm supposed to protect her."

"Well you're doing a shitty job," Saida rolled her eyes. "I walked right up to her door yesterday and said hi just to test out security."

The man sneered at her, eyes flickering up her form, assessing her for any weak points.

"Stop checking me out!" Saida glared at him.

"I'm not checking you out!" The man faltered, but put his sneer back on.

Saida rolled her eyes yet again (It was one of her favourite things to do) and launched herself at the man.

His eyes widened in surprise before he held up an arm to block her punch. Saida ducked under his punch and elbowed his stomach.

The man doubled over for a second and looked up at her in surprise as she waited for him to get up.

"It's no fun when you can't fight back," Saida smiled as he glared at her and attacked her again.

"Say, what's your name?" Saida asked as she spun around behind him and kicked his back, sending him  tumbling to the floor.

"Why would I tell you that?" He asked and punched her in the face.

Siada growled and spat out blood. She kicked, aiming for... a sensitive area, only for him to block it with his knee.

"That's dirty pool," The man scowled.

"So is hitting my face!" Saida argued, no longer enjoying the fight. "Now we're even!"

"Tell me why you're attacking the senator!" He demanded.

"I hate senators and just wanted to take my revenge," Saida lied.

He squinted, surprised that she would give information away so easily.

So Saida whipped out her spare pistol from her belt was he was distracted, and shot him.

"Bantha shit," Saida cursed as she used her binoculars to zoom in on the senators balcony.

She was no longer outside.

Saida huffed and kicked the down man. "This is your fault! Now I'm gonna be late to see my sister!"

Saida packed up her things, and jogged down the streets. She bumped into an armored man with long hair tied back in a bandana.

"Sorry my fault!" Saida apologized and held her hand out for him to grab.

The man grabbed her offered and hand and used it to pull himself up.

"Hunter," He said.

"Sorry?" Saida wrinkled her forehead at him.

"My name," Hunter laughed.

"Oh! I'm Evie," She told him.

Hunter narrowed his eyes at the pistol at her waist. He turned his eyes to her bloody lip and frowned.

"Well, I have to go," Saida brushed past him and jogged into the crowded city square.

She looked back to see him put a helmet on and tap the side of it.

His head whipped up and turned in her direction.

"Crap, they work together," Saida muttered and pushed through the crowd protesting for a new library.

"Stop!" He yelled, but Saida didn't stop.

If she did, they'd capture her.

And her freedom was already gone.

Saida barely managed to get to a speeder, and borrowed it.

Indefinitely.

Saida saluted Hunter, who could only watch as she drove off.

Saida rolled her shoulders as she stepped into the bar. She needed to use a holotransmitter, and seeing as she didn't even have enough credits to buy a new set of clothes, she'd have to use the one at the bar that was set out for public use.

She wrinkled her nose at the pairs dancing together, wondering how anyone could trust someone enough to get that close to them.

Saida tapped on the counter of the bar to get the barkeepers attention.

"I need to make a call," Saida told him.  "Can I borrow the-"

The barkeeper cut her off with a tut and pointed at the sign at the bar.

It read: Calls for paying customers only.

Saida groaned and forked over a couple credits.

"I'll take the cheapest drink," She crossed her arms and waited for it to be poured.

When it was done, she took a sip then looked at the barkeeper pointedly.

"Now can I use it?"

The barkeeper nodded, and just as Saida as going to make the call to Bluki, someone pinned her arms behind her back and whispered in her ear; "Got you."

Saida was immediately filled with disgust and knocked her head backwards, hitting whoever it was off of  her.

She turned around and was met with the silver haired man.

"You?" Saida growled. "I shot you!"

"I put bacta on my arm," He shrugged and held out a set of handcuffs.

Saida glowered at him.

"Now you're my prisoner until we decide who's threatening the senator," He grinned wickedly at her, and she knew this was his revenge for her shooting him.

And that's how Saida ended up  being taken to his brother's ship.
