Trials of Loyalty

Chapter 7

Ezra's POV

"A trap?" The Seventh Sister asked.

"Yeah," I smirked.

"And who do we pull this trap on," The Seventh Sister asked with exasperation. I could tell she thought I was wasn't mature, but I had proven myself many times in other situations. I was confident this plan would work.

"My crew," I said.

She laughed. "Why would we trap your crew when we are trying to prove you do not work against them?"

"They won't even know I was there. It will be you trapping them," I explained.

"And that will work," she said sarcastically.

"It will if you listen!"

"Fine."

We were behind Old Joe's bar, waiting. I had a feeling my old crew would be coming here to talk to Joe.

"So what exactly am I supposed to do?" The Seventh Sister asked.

"Simple. When they come in the bar, attack them and try to get some kind of information," I explained.

"A child with such wild ideas," she said as she entered the barv through the back door.

Now I just had to wait. I knew my feeling was right.

《~》

I sensed my crew entering the bar. I slipped in the back door.

"They're here," I told The Seventh Sister.

She nodded and took out her lightsaber. We approached the door to the main bar and listened.

"Joe, you have got to have something," I heard Hera's voice say.

"Sorry, Hera. No word about Ezra," Joe said.

"Do you know anybody who might know something? If he is truely working for the Empire, someone must know something," Hera said.

I looked over to The Seventh Sister. It looked like we didn't need to activate the trap. We knew what they knew.

We turned to leave. "Wait, I sense something," Kanan's voice said.

The Seventh Sister and my eyes met. We would have to do the trap now. The Seventh Sister walked back over to the door.

"What is it, Kanan?" Zeb asked.

"I sense a presence," Kanan said.

"Well, who's?" Sabine questioned.
Kanan stayed silent. The Seventh Sister ignited her saber and nodded to me. I rushed over to the door and she entered the main bar.

"Well look who I have found," The Seventh Sister said. I could tell she had put her mask on because of the metallic tang in her words.

"Kanan, that's one of the inquisitors," Sabine said right before I heard a couple of shots go off.

I heard another lightsaber ignite. Kanan's.

"It seems I have found the famous Jedi who killed the Grand Inquisitor," The Seventh Sister said.

"Get the ship."

I heard a voice in my head. A Force voice. I could tell it was The Seventh Sister's and I quietly exited the bar.

《~》

I navigated the ship in the street in front of the bar. I didn't land, fully aware The Seventh Sister could jump onto the ship.

I couldn't see if she was fighting Kanan or not. I lowered the ramp. I used the Force to tell the Seventh Sister I had arrived.

I sensed her as she ran to the ship and jumped on. I closed the ramp and flew off.
