* Ok this is picking off where the Servants Of The Empire series left off. Someone asked me the other day if I thought our favorite Rebels got away with stealing the Ghost. This is my honest answer to that.

Zare and his family watched as the Ramp of the Ghost closed. Then the Jewel shaped ship lifted off the ground. Merei turned around just in time to see the ship make the jump into hyperspace.
"Good bye Ezra. Your a good friend to have." Zare says.
"We'll see them again Zare." Dhara says placing her hand on his shoulder. "Until then I wish him and his friends the best of luck."
"Well someone has to prevent what happened to our family from happening to others. I almost lost both of you to the empire." Their mom says.
"Are you guys coming or not?" Merei asked.
"Right behind you Mer." Zaire replied. The family then went to follow.
"Your being awfully quiet dear. Is something wrong. Their mother asked their dad.
"I thought the Jedi where killed off." He replied in almost a whisper.
"They were." His wife replied.
"Ezra's blaster was also a lightsaber. I haven't seen one in years. I almost didn't notice it."
"Maybe he bought it on the black market." Merei suggested.
"Jedi didn't carry blasters during the days of the republic. That was custom built recently." Mr. Leonis said.
"Are you saying that boy is a Jedi? Isn't he a little young to have even survived the purge?" Mrs. Leonis asked.
Zare turned around right there and pushed the group down an alley.
"Just stop right there. To answer your questions. Yes, Ezra is a Jedi, even though he was born during the purge. One of his other friends survived the purge and is training him. However now is not the time or place to discuss this. It's not safe to talk about the force, Jedi, and rebels right now." He says in a quiet but stern voice so only the group could hear. Then they all continued as they set out for their new lives.
Back on the Ghost the three Rebels were all in the cockpit.
"Hera is so killing us over this." Sabine says.
"At least we have a good excuse." Ezra says.
"Your vision of a friend in trouble might work for Kanan, but not on Hera. Besides it was my debt to Old Jho that got us into this." Zeb says. "Somehow, I still haven't paid him off."
"At least you lived a long life. I still don't know why I let you two drag me into stuff like this. Actually, Zeb why did you drag Ezra into this in the first place?" Sabine says.
"We're roommates. He was dragged into this the day he moved into the bunk above mine. Plus the kids good at making rescue attempts." Zeb answered.
"So you anticipated a rescue mission?" Ezra asked.
"Did you see Jho's ship. I don't know how he even gets it off the ground." The Lasat replied.
"Oh your dead too Ezra. Your friend's rescue mission scratched paint on the ship." Sabine said.
"Is it bad?" He ask.
"No, but she'll notice it before I get a chance to touch it up." Sabine says.
"If we live long enough to do that. Karabast, the kid might be safe being a Jedi and all." Zeb says.
"Kriff, that's right Hera goes easier on Kanan and him because of that." Sabine says.
"Wait, what? Hera goes easier on me because of the force?" Ezra ask.
