Ram'ser (Crosshair)

Plan gone wrong

Tw: Mentions of torture

~Crosshair~

Saida held her head up high as Crosshair marched her to the Kaminoans. He gripped the binders on her wrists tightly, and she took a deep breath as they approached.

 The Kaminoan nodded and motioned for the Trandoshan at their side to grab Saida from Crosshair. "We will take her from here. Thank you for returning our property to us."

"She's a human being. Not an object," Crosshair sneered.

"Crosshair," Hunter slowly said, narrowing his eyes. 

Crosshairs huffed and returned to his brother's side, while Saida was tugged away from their view. He fixed his gaze on the door she had been taken through.

"You are dismissed," the Kaminoan said, already walking away.

Hunter led the way to the bunks, muttering under his breath about Kaminoans and where they can put their examination tools.

Crosshair angrily chewed on a toothpick while Wrecker stared at him in confusion. Wrecker nudged Tech and pointed at Crosshair. Tech shrugged and started reading his datapad.

"This is interesting," Tech said as he read. "I was trying to read Omega's file, and it's restricted. Why would it be restricted?"

"They're obviously hiding something," Crosshair huffed. "And it probably has something to do with the fact that they experimented on a small child."

"Of course!" Tech hummed. "The Kaminoans don't want word spreading to the Jedi council of their cruel actions towards the clones!"

"Wow. You really are a genius," Crosshair dryly said.

Tech bristled. "Do not take out your frustrations on me! I may be unaware of what's troubling you, but it is unfair of you to be rude to me!"

"I know what's bothering him," Hunter slyly said.

"What?" Wrecker asked.

"You shut your mouth!" Crosshair hissed.

Hunter leaned back in his chair with a smug look. "I promised Crosshair I wouldn't tell anyone about his crush, so I can't say anything."

"His crush?" Wrecker raised his voice excitedly.

"Oops," Hunter said when Crosshair glared at him. "It just slipped out."

"Slipped out my ass," Crosshair glowered and the toothpick snapped in between his teeth.

"Who are we speaking of?" Tech inquired. "Is it someone we know?"

"We saw them today," Hunter hinted.

Wrecker gasped. "Was it the Kaminoan that's torturin' Saida right now?"

"What?" Crosshair's face screwed up in disgust. "No! And they're not torturing her!"

"Oh," Tech paled.

"Huh?" Wrecker frowned at Tech.

"Oh dear," Tech said.

"What?" Hunter demanded.

"Oh my," Tech lowered his datapad.

"Just tell us what you're talking about!" Crosshair said.

"You like Saida," Tech said, but it wasn't a question, it was a statement.

"Fine! I like her! Are you happy now?" Crosshair threw his hands up.

"And I just lost her signal," Tech pursed his lips. "This isn't ideal."
