I Have A Bad Feeling About This

Chapter 5. A Decent Plan

The cuffs around Han's hands loosened, falling off his wrists and clanged on the floor as Ahsoka offered her hand to the smuggler. Han stood stock still though, trying to process everything.

Ahsoka sighed sympathetically, her hand never wavering as she spoke in a gentle yet goading tone. "We have to hurry, Han Solo. Your Jedi friend is in grave danger."

The mention of Luke snapped Han out of his daze as he quickly took Ahsoka's hand and allowed the cloaked Togruta to lead him out of the holding area.

The pub was a mess and empty save for a few unconscious men who appeared to be guards. Han frowned as Ahsoka led him to the exit. "You did all this?" Han asked in awe, but also wariness.

Ahsoka looked over her shoulder and grinned. "The Force is a powerful allie, but I am sure you know that by now."

Han nodded slowly. "Didn't know it could do this..." Han mumbled as the duo left the pub, Luke had never had to do such damage, well not since the rescue mission on Tatooine, and even then Han had been blind and unable to see Luke's feats in battle.

Ahsoka paused at the entrance for a moment, her eyes closed in concentration, reaching out with the Force.

Han gained Ahsoka's side as the Togruta stayed frozen in place for a moment before finally her eyes opened, widening.

Han became instantly worried. "What's wrong?" He asked nervously.

Ahsoka shook her head. "The bounty hunters have left Nar Shaddaa with the Jedi. Come, I have a ship nearby." Ahsoka quickly turned to a speeder parked across the street.

Han huffed but quickly followed after the strange woman. Why did he trust her, he wondered. Maybe it was because she wielded a lightsaber, it was not red, but it was not blue or green like Luke's first and second lightsabers either. Strange, but Han felt certain he could trust Ahsoka and Han always trusted his instincts.

Ahsoka boarded her speeder as Han quickly took the seat behind her before they were off, heading towards the docking bay.

Once there Ahsoka got off the speeder and led the way towards an old Corellian rigger.

As they approached the ship Han decided to speak up. "So how are we going to find them?" He questioned while quickening his pace to gain Ahsoka's side.

"I put a tracker on their ship before going after you." Ahsoka explained.

"You what?" Han exclaimed. "Why didn't you get Luke first?" He almost shouted as the ramp to the rigger opened and Ahsoka boarded it.

"Because he is more useful to them alive. You on the other hand could have been executed on the spot once turned over to Grakkus." Ahsoka again explained calmly as Han followed her into the ship.

"With the tracker we will be able to find Luke before the Imperials get their hands on him." Ahsoka continued as they entered the cockpit.

Han nodded slowly before frowning. "How do you know our names? I never told you my name, or Luke's." Accusation crept into Han's voice as he spoke yet Ahsoka remained calm and passive, much like Luke as she replied.

"The Force tells me these things, and you are a renowned and highly respected man in the Rebellion, as well as Luke Skywalker." Ahsoka sat down in the pilot's seat and began flipping switches and pressing buttons, preparing the ship for take off.

Han sat down beside Ahsoka, deciding to shut up. This Jedi business with the Force was something he could not easily wrap his head around, and he definitely was not going to try.

The navi-computer set off coordinates to the planet Fett and his gang had jumped to, thanks to the tracker.

"Now let's hope we get there in time." Ahsoka stated grimly as she piloted the ship out of the docking bay and out the atmosphere of Nar Shaddaa, into the far reaches of space.
