Stepping In (Star Wars AU)

Chapter 20

Delfi, as she was calling herself, drank the tea Jobal had given her.

"Tell me what I can do. Please." Jobal said to her.

"I need to get off Naboo. To the Rebels but I don't know who to look for. He said Obi Wan Kenobi is still alive....is this true?"

"There are still wanted posters for his head so I assume so. Senator Bail Organa is suspected to be a leader of the Rebel Alliance but this has not confirmed. There are many rumors, some true, most false. You never know."

Delfi buries her face in her hands.

"This is hopeless." She mumbles.

"Wait."

Jobal stands up and heads to the screen on the wall. She types in a few numbers and a woman appears in the middle of the room.

"Grandma! It is good to see you again. This must be short; I have a Senate meeting in 10 minutes."

"It is good to see you too, Pooja. I have a favor to ask. You are good friends with Bail Organa and Leia Organa, am I right?"

"Yes, I am. Why do you ask?"

"Are the Organa's a part of the Rebellion?"

"Grandma! Why would you ask that!?"

"I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important. This woman needs to get in contact with the Rebels and the Empire can not find out. We can't risk contacting an Imperial spy."

"Risk? You are risking my life and yours!" Pooja paused for a minute. "Yes. Bail Organa is a leader of the Rebel Alliance."

"Senator!"

Teckla appeared next to Pooja.

"Your comm was hacked! They heard everything!"

"What!? Prepare my ship. Pack your essentials, Teckla."

"Yes, My Lady."

She disappeared from the hologram.

"It must've been the Imperials. Pack yours and grandfather's things. I'll contact you on my private comm and I will tell you where to go. Warn Ryoo and Sola and Darred."

The transmission ended. Jobal typed in numbers. Four people appeared just like Pooja did. They were about to say hello but Jobal cut them off.

"Pack your things. The Imperials are coming."
