In The Hands Of The Enemy, a Sabezra fanfiction

Chapter 29

Hera called all the remaining Ghost Crew to the main room. Kanan who already had been there, had  a forlorn look on his face, preparing for bad news. Zeb wasn't any better. If she didn't know better, Hera would've thought the lasat had been crying. But Zeb never cried. Not even when things got hopeless and tough, she had never seen the muscle of the crew shed a tear. But now... Everything was different. She didn't mention it to Zeb.

Chopper rolled in, last. The droid looked expectantly at his owner, obviously befuddled at what was going on, and wondering where the second youngest member was. He let out a small confused beep.

After a few awkward seconds of silence, Zeb folded his arms and leant back in his seat. "Well, what are we doing here? Eh? Where's Sabine?" He grunted. His voice came out a little shaky.

Hera sighed. It was time to break the news to the family. "Sabine..." She started, unsure of how to put this. "well, she went after Ezra." There was a gasp from the crew. She continued, gesturing to the piece of paper in her hand. "And she left us a note,"

*Well what are you doing, lady?* Chopper beeped impatiently. *Read it!! We don't have forever, you know!*

Hera nodded, ignoring Chopper's rude voice, and begun to read the letter aloud. She had to stop for a moment before continuing when she got to the part where Sabine talked about her. She was too choked up. By the time she finished reading allowed, the paper was covered with tear drops, smudging some of the writing.

No one spoke. Kanan put his face in his hands, tears coming from his sightless eyes, covered by the mask. Zeb looked away, and wiped his right eye quickly. Chopper let out a small depressed warble. Hera hadn't even been aware that her own droid was even able to have such deep, profound sadness.

"Well what are we gonna do now?" Kanan inquired, his own voice barely over a whisper. He turned towards the direction Hera was.

Hera massaged her face and thought. "We're going to go after Sabine." She finally answered the man, after a moment of pondering.

Zeb's eyes widened. "What?" He sputtered. "Sabine was pretty serious about us not stopping her."

Hera shook her head at the lasat. "No," She replied. "I never said anything about stopping her. We're going to get Ezra back." The woman stated, determined.

Zeb could hardly believe his ears. not wasting anytime, he went to get his bo-rifle.

*Well what are we waiting for?* Chopper beeped, following Zeb's example. *Let's go!*

With that, the rest of the Ghost Crew jumped into action.
