Chapter Four - Him

I woke up in a room, in a strange bed, surrounded by nothing but some medical machines. Where was I? I had no memory of how I get here. The last thing I remember was being hit by a droid and put in a ship.

I get up as fast as the pain in my body let me. I was hurt by all the beaten that Moro get me. I walk to a metallic wall in the room, it was just like a mirror. I took a look of myself for a moment. I had bruises all over my body and some bandages covering my wounds. I only had to wear a simple shirt and some short pants. My hair was a mess, and my face was pretty much the same. My face wasn't saved from the bruises and wounds and my left eye was surrounded by black. At least I was clean and apparently look as if I been taken care off.

The only door in the room opened. A small droid enter the room.

"Oh, hello there." The droid with a kind voice said.

"Where am I?"

"I bring you new clothes and if you like you could take a shower."

"I only need to know where am I? What happen to me?"

"Miss, you are in a medical facility." the droid said.

"Look, I can see that." I said pointing at the bandages in my body and the machines in the room. "But where exactly I am, the last thing I remember is been taken by some crazy man and a droid. They took me hostage!"

"Miss, I'm only autorice to be your medical droid, I can't give you any other information."

"Then find someone who can explain to me why I being hostage!" I was mad and desperate.

The door open for a second time. There was a man entering the room. Those eyes, that hair, I could swear I saw him somewhere else. I saw that face before, just not completely the last time. The place where was a scarf, now was cover with a black but small beard.

"You!" I accused. "What is your problem? Why you take me here?!"

"Yeah, yeah, I'm the crazy hostage man." He heard me before.

"Yeah you are! Your droid hit me in the head. You took me by force."

"My apologize, miss." he took a more serious pose. "I only need to do that to take you here. I'm sorry that it had to be that way but you let me no choice."

"Sorry if I don't trust when a stranger is trying to take me to a ship and to an unknown place!" I was in the border of my patience with this two.

"I know that I don't treat you in the most conventional way, but it had to be done. Please, prepare yourself and then all your questions would be answer."

Who were these people. Why would they have to take me? I wasn't any kind important. And taking me from Moro's base, they must think I'm special to pass all that hard work in finding me. Maybe they just think I'm someone else or maybe the persons who killed my family found me.

"Fine, I'll go with you." I need to find out what is all this about. I just need to follow their game.

"I would take you to the showers and then we could go meet my superiors." he was always talking in a calm voice.

I took the clothes from the droid and follow him. We pass a long hallway. There were rooms everywhere, probably like the one I was.

"Here we are. You would find anything you need in there to take a bath. I would be waiting for you here."

What was his deal anyway? Being so considerate and polite with me. Maybe he is just like a servant or slave in here, taking care of me. But again he could fight very well, for a slave he knows his combat moves, he probably is more of a soldier. Maybe his a bounty hunter who works for some other mercenary that want me dead.

With all I been through I don't even know what to think anymore. I just try to focus in my shower. The water was warm. It hurt at first, the contact of the water in my hurt body, but then it felt so great. I could feel for a moment relax, like all my problems had disappear, like I wasn't to worry of escaping or hiding from everyone. That moment finish when I realize I needed to go with that guy. I took a very considerable time in the shower. I dress myself with the brown jeans, white shirt, black boots, light cream jacket and a brown scarf they gave me. I brush my messy hair and get out of the showers.

"Finish?" he ask.

"Yeah, now you can tell me what this is all about?"

"Even the shower can't take that bad humor of yours?" he joke.

"I need to know what is happening and I can't just sit and wait for the answer." I cross my arms waiting his response.

"Okay, I would take you to them."

We pass several hallways walking in silence.

"Here we are." He pause in front of a big doble door. He open the doors to show me a massive room.

There were people everywhere, surrounded by big screens and tables. Everyone seemed to be working, talking with one another. I follow him to the bigger table in all the room. He gesture me to sit and wait.

One by one the people in the massive room were living, as my 'guard' was telling them to go. When the room was almost solitary a man enter with a woman by his side. She appear to be a middle age woman but she look young. She had short red hair, blue eyes and pale look skin. Over her skinny body she was wearing a white dress with some silver accessories. She look like an elegant strict woman. She position in the opposite side of the table were I was.

"Hello Alexia, is so nice to finally meet you." she said after that perfect elegant entrance. "We know that you probably must be confuse about all this situation."

"Tell me about it. All I want to know is why I'm here in the first place."

"I will answer all your questions. But first let me introduce myself, I am Senator Mon Mothma. I am one of the leaders of the Rebel Alliance."

What those the Alliance want with me?

"This man that accompanies me is Coronel Dontry, my second in command." The man look ready for a battle. He maintain in a straight pose, all serious.

"And I believe you already met Captain Cassian Andor, one of our best soldiers and finest leader of the Rebellion's battles." Clearly not a slave or servant.

"Unfortunately yes I met him." I whisper, but he hear me.

"I apologize for the circumstance of our meeting. And most for the behavior of my droid." He said. Yeah right, he wasn't sorry I know he enjoy teasing me.

"Okay. I believe that's enough of formalities in one day, cut to the chase. What do you want from me?"

"A very direct woman I see. We brought you here because..." she clears her throat. "We need to talk about your father."

"My father..." I laugh. "You got the wrong person. I don't know anything about him." I paused trying to compose myself for what it seem a complete joke.

"Zazk Moryne..." began saying Cassian as he step forward.

"Zazk Moryne" I repeat with a bitterness voice, interrupting him. "For all I know he could be dead and it wouldn't mind me. He was gone when I had 7 years. Now has been 17 years without knowing any word of him."

"We need any help you can give us to find him." The senator said.

"Any way, why is he so important to you?" I ask.

Cassian get more close to my position saying,
"He is one of the remain Jedi that are still alive."
