Book 2 of the "Fatal Attractions" series, set in the Old Republic era (3,643 BBY and beyond). Please read Book 1 before continuing.
Five years after the events of Fatal Attractions, Jedi Knight Kira Regana dedicates herself to training teenage Padaw...
Bas Vel lands on Dromund Kaas, docking his ship at the Hunters Guild wing of the Imperial Capital Building. He grabs Kay, janking him up and putting him over his shoulder. Vel carries the unconscious Jendo into the building to claim his score.
Corso Riggs and Risha, disguised, watch from the markets. Corso draws his trusty blaster rifle, Sparky. "Now, let's get in, get Jendo, and get out. Can't stick around in a place like this fer too long."
"Really takes a genius to figure that out." Says Risha, her blaster pistol already drawn. The duo barge into the guild building, pointing their guns all around only to find an empty lobby.
"Quieter than I was expectin'..." Says Corso.
Bas Vel emerges from behind a pillar, rifle in hand.
"There!" Corso squeezes the trigger, dashing a shot against the Mandalorian's armor. Several more Bounty Hunters emerge from behind objects around the room, all aiming blasters right for Corso. Risha strolls right up to the Mandalorian and stands at his side, hanging off his arm with a smile.
"Risha? What're you doin'?" Corso asks.
"This is what they call a long con, farm boy."

"So what'dya do it for? The money, right?" He asks.
"More or less. The Captain's snoring didn't exactly change my mind either." Says Risha.
"You were family to us, you know that?" Asks Corso.
"That's what made it so easy." She says. "Boys? Kill him."
"'Course!" Corso rolls for cover just in time to narrowly avoid being chewed up by an onslaught of blaster fire. "Tch, shoulda seen this comin'! What am I gonna tell the Cap'n?"
Just next door, Kaeiden approaches the chambers of his master, Darth Malgus, to report the results of the battle on Alderaan. The dark lord enters the chambers, kneeling before Darth Malgus.
"How went the invasion, apprentice?" Asks Malgus.
"The city is ours, my master." Kaeiden reports.
"Yet I sense your conquest is...incomplete." Says Emperor Malgus.
