Rex ~ Knock

(1383 words)

It was already after midnight when I finally came back from my latest mission. As soon as I landed on Coruscant, I made my way to the jedi temple. On the way I had to enjoy the crystal clear sky I had missed so much the past few months. Exhausted but happy to be back home I entered the temple and walked towards the council room.

Even though it was already that late, the council insisted on hearing the report on the mission. It was a simple but long one, like always. I'm one of the few jedis who always go on undercover missions and barely fights on the battle field. Due to that, many jedi or clones don't consider me as a real jedi and avoid talking to me. Which is fine to me cause I sometimes have my problems with other people.

After the meeting I was annoyed. They just told me that I got only one day off until I have another undercover mission and during this one I will have a partner. I just had a mission for 2 months and now I have another one. I shook my head in disbelief but at least they said that the next mission won't be for long. We just need to catch someone whose name I already forgot due to me not really paying attention and also me not being able to remember all these names.

Just as I was done complaining about the upcoming mission, I arrived at my room and fell on my bed. God how I missed my tiny room. It's one of the few things that is persistent in my life. I barely have friends and the ones I make during my missions also don't last. The surroundings always change during my missions and so my room is the only constant I have.

The next day I had another meeting with the council

"Ah, (Y/N). Good to have you back, it is." Master Yoda said "Going on a mission, you will, on Eosur. A partner you have. Clone captain Rex from the 501st during the mission, will help"

"Of course Master." I answered as I bowed "When will we leave?"

"You will leave today (Y/N). You can go now. Go find the captain so you can leave as soon as possible", Master Windu said.

So much for I will have a day off, I thought as I walked out off the door and towards the clones barracks.

After some time I was lost. I have only been to the clone barracks two times cause I usually don't work with them and now I managed to get lost in them.

Finally I saw a clone I knew. "Hey, Cody. Please wait"

Cody turned around as he heard me and asked "What can I do for you general"

"I'm searching for a Captain Rex. Ehm... Do you know where he is?"

"Oh so you are general (Y/N). Rex already told me about your mission. He is in his room down the hall and on the left"

"Thank you so much, Commander. I was already lost in here and I would have never found anything without going through every room" I laughed in relief. "See you Cody"

I walked the way Cody had described me and soon came to Rex's room. I pushed the bottom and the door opened. Looking around, I realized that no one was in the room. So I sat down on the bed and inspected the room. It was nearly as small as mine, with two beds and another door which was probably the bathroom.

I wonder where he is, I thought, but Cody told me he would be in his room. Hmm that's strange. I stood up and walked towards the bathroom door. I wanted to wash my face and check on my look. Earlier that day I looked like a walking zombie so I wanted to fix that before I meet the captain.

I opened the door and got scared to death as I saw a man in the shower... naked. He wasn't facing me so I hoped that he didn't heard me entering the room but too late.
