The senator's guards

Hehehe we have a love interest now!

~Amita~

I heard the voices coming, and closed my eyes to feign sleep. My room's door slid open and I continued my ruse.

"Oh come on!" Crosshair groaned. "We told you to be up already!"

I opened my eyes and grinned at him. "I'm awake!"

Crosshair rolled his eyes and I followed him to the ship, having to nearly jog to keep up with his long strides.

"We're shipping out to guard an imperial senator on Coruscant," Hunter told me. "And don't forget, we'll be keeping an eye on you! No funny business!"

"Aw that's a shame. I was planning on killing the emperor," I pouted, crossing my arms.

"No," Hunter threatingly said. "We're going to the imperial senate! You can't say stuff like that!"

"I was joking," I exasperatedly said. 

"These senators don't get jokes. They are ruthless and will turn in you in for even the smallest bit of in disobedience without a second thought," Hunter warned. "You better be on your best behaviour so I don't return you to reconditioning."

"A bunch of stuffy senators?" I snorted. "I can handle myself around them."

"I myself have difficulties around them," Tech confessed. "They nearly had me arrested."

"That's because you tried to tell them how the legal system works," Crosshair said.

"They didn't need to escort me from the building," Tech grumpily said. "That was unnecessary." 

"You started tryin' to cut the senator off," Wrecker pointed out.

"I did not!" Tech bristled. 

"Whatever. Can we just get there?" I interrupted their dispute with an irritated tone. "And is anyone gonna tell me anything about the mission? Or are you just gonna tell me not to screw it up?"

"I haven't been informed of the mission yet either," Tech frowned. 

"For good reason," Hunter glared at his goggled brother. "Do you remember Senator Jeen? Someone tried to kill her. We're protecting her while the incident is under investigation."

Wrecker gasped dramatically. "We're guarding her?"

"Why is it such a big deal?" I questioned, watching Crosshair smirk.

"Tech had a bit of a thing with her," Crosshair replied.

"Oh really?" I wiggled my eyebrows. "Is she hot?"

Tech coughed. "I have to go fly us to Coruscant! Goodbye."

He made his escape to the cockpit.

"I swear, if you mess this assignment up, I will bring us right back here and put you back into your cell for the rest of time," Hunter narrowed his eyes at me.

"I promise I won't screw anything up on purpose," I held up my pinky, but he ignored it.

"Yay! Amita's first mission with us!" Wrecker high-fived me.

"Senator Jeen," Hunter nodded respectfully as we stepped off the ship onto the landing bay. "We're your guards while your attempted assassination is under investigation."
