WHAT IS REAL

"You have been brought here because I am in need of someone who I hope I can trust with this secret. You must be able to keep this secret even if you are captured or tortured by the Emperor. It will pay very well should you succeed at the job. I will pay all expenses that you should require for this mission. Here is the amount I am willing to pay at the end of this mission."

He showed Kitster an amount that made Kitster's mind swirl. Wow with that much I could own my own planet. Oh but I will probably never see that kind of money. I mess up too many times.

"My Lord, respectfully, you do know that I am not always successful in my endeavors. I look like this because I messed up my last job."

Vader laughed, but then he got very serious. "I know what you have done, and my reason for bringing you here was because you are new and I am trusting you to do this job for me and keep it a secret. Can you do that?"

"For you Lord Vader, I would do anything." I would do anything to keep my life.

Vader grinned having heard that thought. "The problem is not if you want to keep your life. The problem is if you will keep this job a secret despite the threat on your life. For if you are caught by Palpatine you will surely loose your life."

Kitster could not believe that he had been caught up working for Vader. It was exactly the place he never wanted to be. What should he do? He was stuck between death for denying Vader or death for possible failure and death by Palpatine should he be caught. Well being caught by Palpatine was not a certainty but death by Vader was very definite if he did not take the job, and there always was the possibility of him actually succeeding. Well, it looked to him like the only possible solution was to agree to do it. I hope this is not an impossible task; though for that amount of money it probably is impossible. Well on one hand death and on the other only possible death I pick possible death.

"Good choice Kitster."

Again Kitster just stared at him in disbelief. How scary to work for someone who can read your mind.

"Lord Vader I will do your job and keep it a secret. I will try not to disappoint you."

"Good now here is the task. I have 2 children, twins,out there somewhere. I have no idea where they are. I do know that they were born on Polis Massa. You need to find out anything you can and bring my children to me. I must have them. Do you understand this task?"

"Yes My Lord." was all Kitster said as he bowed. "I will get on it right away." As Vader left the room a small knot began to grow in the pit of his stomach. Life had suddenly taken a huge turn and it was definitely not a good turn
