It was quite some time later Anakin and Obi-Wan stirred. I go to their sides as Anakin shakes his head as if he was trying to dispel the groggy sensation plaguing his head.
"Master? Vetera? What happened...?" Anakin asks as they both begin to sit up.
"You both got drunk." I deadpan at the two of them.
"Well...I guess that pirate brew was stronger than we thought." Obi-Wan says as he tests the strength of his binds.
"Uh, I only took a sip." Anakin says with a guilty smile.
"Sure you did.You both took more than a sip. I swear you both were a bigger di'kut than me!" I say to the two of them.
"We were drugged obviously." Obi-Wan says.
"Probably in one of the last cups you two drank, when your senses were too dulled by the drinks to sense the drug. You two did go down a little too fast for it to be normal wasted. *thinks about it* Yeah you two were definitely drugged." I say.
"Why would they risk losing the ransom?" Anakin asks pointedly, causing me to shrug in a helpless way.
"The deal appears to have changed. They must be trying to quadruple their pay day." Obi-Wan says with a grim tone.
"A shrewd observation, Master Kenobi." Dooku says, drawing our attention and making us look at him.
"Oh great, it's you." Anakin says sourly.
"I did warn you these pirates were devious. You will notice our shackles are bound together. I have tried to separate us...to no avail." Dooku says sharply.
"It's bad enough we have to sit in the same cell *gets up* but could you at least spare me the sound of your constant chatter?!" Anakin asks as Obi-Wan and I hold him back.
"And while I hold my tongue, the two of you will devise a brilliant strategy for getting off this goodness-forsaken planet?" Dooku asks.
"Yes!" Anakin and Obi-Wan say sharply.
"Excellent." Dooku says.
"You two are in charge of the escape plan? We're doomed." I say as I sit.
"Thanks for the vote of confidence Vetera." Anakin says to me with a scowl.
"No problem." I reply as I continue to sit and smirk cheekily at him.
***************************************************************************
Somehow, I'm not surprised that Dooku is now in charge of our escape. When conducting deceitful and secretive arts such as prison breaks, who better to ask?
Currently, Obi-Wan and Anakin were watching Dooku--Anakin rather impatiently-- as he focused on something outside of the cell. I am not at a good angle to see what it is though. I hear the clattering of a plate and silverware.
"Don't you think our priorities should be escape first, eat second?" Anakin asks snidely. The plate comes closer before I see a knife on it.
"Do control your protégé's insolence so i can concentrate." Dooku says as he drops the plate, guiding the knife closer to our cell.
"Anakin." Obi-Wan says with a somewhat scolding tone.
"What?" Anakin asks sharply.
"Control your insolence, the Count is concentrating." Obi-Wan says making the three of us Jedi smile. I see Dooku smirk as he stabs a knife into the door's lock, which opens easily.
"Well done, if I do say so myself." he says as he looks around.
"Most impressive." Obi-Wan quips as he was the next to follow the Count, then it was Anakin and I bring up the rear.
