Sucked Away: Star Wars

IX

I spent the next few days in jail, or rather the Star Wars' high security prison. Don't ask me how the guards had no idea I was there; I mean, every single inmate knew I was there. The guards didn't even look in my direction one time!! It was a little unnerving. Because the guards didn't know I was there, I wasn't assigned to a cell. In other words, I slept in the lunchroom. Why? Well, I knew they couldn't hurt me and all, it's just that..... If you had a choice between making your own little camp in a corner of the lunchroom or room with two or three hardened criminals from Star Wars, which would you choose? So, yeah, that's why I slept in the lunchroom...

That was totally off topic! Sorry guys, it happens. Anyways, my first objective was finding Obi-wan, or in this case Rako Hardeen. He was easy enough to find. I found him on the third day in the weight room. All of the "hardened criminals" were in this room lifting these super heavy weights. I mean, if I was in jail, I certainly wouldn't spend my time lifting weights for fun, mostly because physical activity isn't my thing, and I'd rather stare at a cement wall for twelve hours than life weights. Also, my imagination would take over and I suddenly wouldn't be bored anymore, so there you go.

Obi-wan, aka: Rako, was sitting on one of the weight benches looking around suspiciously. I slowly meandered my way over to Rako acting like I was just looking around. I looked over his shoulder. He was holding a small communicator and there was an earpiece in his ear.

"Yes, I managed to make contact with Moralo Eval; however, he is also in league with Cad Bane," Rako whispered into the small communicator.

"Hey.... Obi..." I whispered in his ear.

He jumped. "Sadie!" his whispered in alarm.

I pressed my ear against Rako's ear the earpiece in it. Mace Windu's voice came faintly into my ear, "Sadie. So that's where you disappeared to."

"What are you doing here, Sadie?" Rako asked.

"I think you can gather that this wasn't my idea. Fate just put me here, okay?"

He nodded, and then continued his report, "I've won over Moralo, but Cad Bane seems suspicious about my activities..."

"As he should be," Mace commented.

"Yes. I haven't been able to learn more about their plans because of this, but if I can win over Cad Bane then I can get in and stay in."

"Very well."

"And one more thing..."

"What is it?"

"I won't be able to contact you here again, so don't expect it. Also, do not send any help or assistance. The last thing I need is to have my cover blown at this time. As it is, Sadie may have already given me away..."

"Hey! I have not! No one knows who I am. I just look like some random kid...." I whispered a little offended.

"We can't take risks..."

"Believe me, I'm not a risk. Everything will happen just as it is supposed to whether I'm there or not. I'm here as insurance so that everything isn't suddenly ruined by a certain albino dressed in black!"

"Fine. We're done talking about this. We have to leave before someone notices. Ben out..." He placed the communicator on the bottom side of the bench and then stood from the bench and stretched, making it look like he had actually done some serious weight lifting.

We started walking towards the door, when I suddenly stopped. "You're using Ben?" I whispered.

He almost noiselessly answered back, "Yes. Less people know me by that name."
