"What do you mean? I thought he was with you."

Rey couldn't believe what she was hearing. She shook her head.

"He's not with me. Where is he?"

"He said he was going to the hangar. I assumed you were there getting Chewy."

"So you just let him go alone?" Rey asked, flabbergasted. "He's almost FIVE. Why would you let him go wandering to the hangar alone???"

"Well I thought he was meeting you there!" Natal said, becoming flustered. Rey quickly turned to Temiri. She grabbed him by his shoulder.

"Temiri. Have you seen Louie?" She asked, panicked. Temiri looked startled.

"He said he wanted to go get Chewy." Temiri said, frowning. Rey's heart was nearly pounding out of her chest.

"You two stay put." She said sternly to the boys. They nodded. Rey moved through the crowd and grabbed for Moira's arm.

"Rey! What's wrong?" Moira asked.

"Moira, Louie's gone to the hangar. I need you to make sure everyone gets to their rooms for me." Rey asked of her friend. Moira quickly nodded. Rey raced from the room.

'Just calm down'. She told herself as she jogged down the hall. 'He said he was going to the hangar. He'll be in the hangar. Chewy will be there with him. Everything is going to be okay.'

But no matter what positive affirmations she told herself as she raced down the winding halls of the bunker, she couldn't shake the feeling that something either bad had already happened, or it was about to.

She ran past the cafeteria, not even bothering to check inside. She nearly knocked over a group of pilots as they made their way towards the Dome.

"REY!!!"

Despite her mission, she skid to a stop and whirled around.

Poe hurried around the pilots she nearly ran into and up to her.

"What's wrong? Why are you running?" He asked, her putting his hands on her shoulders. Rey breathed heavily as she tried to catch her breath.

"Louie.... He's..... He's... I.... I can't find him." She was able to muster. Poe went pale.

"Do you know where he might have gone?" Poe asked her in a calm tone.

"The kids said the hangar... But he could be anywhere...." Rey said. "Poe, what am I going to do? I can't lose him, I -"

"Hey." Poe said, placing his hands on her shoulders. "We're gonna find him. He couldn't have gone far."

"But the attack...." Rey began.

"Connix knows the plan just as well as I do. She'll be fine until I get back. Louie's more important."

Rey gulped back tears and nodded.

"Okay." She managed to croak.

"All right." Poe said, taking his hands from her shoulders. "Now I'll check the cafeteria and the bunkers. You go check the hangar."

She nodded and they parted, racing in opposite directions.

Rey skid into the hangar, eliciting confused and startled looks from the pilots that were prepping their starships for take off. She raced to the Falcon, grateful that the ramp was already lowered.
