        "I don't think we're gonna find Flint like this," Synyc said to Evander. They'd been looking for about twenty minutes without any leads, clues, or ideas.

Evander sighed,"Yeah, you're probably right."

"Do you know what his new assignment could've been after you all had to split?"

Evander thought back to his time with Flint. They were never close, but Flint wasn't complicated. Not to him, at least. "He was a literal genius, but he got really jittery and nervous. That rules out anything having to do with violence. Honestly, they probably kept him at the Temple."

Synyc thought for a moment, trying to rack his brain for ideas, but he came up short. "If anyone knows, it'll be you," he said, looking up at Evander.

He sighed and chuckled,"Exactly."

Suddenly his comm beeped and vibrated on his wrist. Please be Alda, he thought. He and Synyc both stopped along the edge of the slowly emptying hallway as he read the message.

The blue hologram projected from his wrist a foot or so in front of him.

Found him, meet at my quarters.

Evander smiled,"She found him."

        The rendezvoused back in Alda's room. It was tidy, and like every other Jedi's.

Evander knocked and Alda let them in. Evander smiled from ear to ear and went to high five Flint, who awkwardly tried to act cool and return it.

"Got the crew back together," Alda said proudly.

Flint's smile faded a little,"Except Jolie."

Evander and Alda exchanged a worried look. "That's the thing," Evander started,"I think she's in some sort of trouble."

Flint looked confused and shocked,"How do you know?"

He sighed,"So far I've had three visions of her. In each one she appeared in an ominous black cloak, veiny pale skin, no offense Flint, and these scary Sith eyes. Eventually she had a red lightsaber. Then she started teleporting so I couldn't get away," he laughed and scratched his head,"Kept me up all night."

That's why he was so tired, Synyc thought to himself, now feeling guilty.

Flint stood,"Shes definitely in trouble. We need to find her."

"Where did she go?" Alda asked. All eyes were on Flint.

His cheeks flushed red,"How would I know?"

Alda gave him an annoyed look,"Okay mister genius, you clearly liked her! You were the only one she actually got close to. You'd know."

He looked down and began to think,"She did say she was going to a small, calm planet so she could figure everything out. It's been five years. She could be anywhere now."

Everyone frowned, a feeling of defeat setting in. Then, Alda piped in,"What if we talk to her old Master? Dan Rursi."

Just hearing his name made Evander swell with anger. "I am not giving that guy a second of my time."

Synyc could feel his Master's anger like a normal being could feel a hurricane force wind. It always worried him.

"We'll all go. You don't even have to talk. But he's the only other one that would know, and quite frankly, he's more likely to know than we are anyway," Alda added.

Synyc quietly took a step toward,"I think I've seen someone named Master Rursi teaching young Jedi Healing Powers."

"We'd better hurry to the Halls of Healing then," Flint said as he stood. They all simultaneously got up and filed out the door.
