We walk into the restaurant to watch Cara beat some guys ass. I hold the kid close to me as he giggles at the fight.
"Pay up mudsuckers!" She turns around and spots us.
"Picked up a new friend Mando?"
"Cara this is Aurora."
I smile, "Hi."
"Wait like commander Aurora? Like the rebel spy?"
I laugh a little, "That's the one."
"I've heard a lot of stories about you. You're badass."
"Thanks," I say as we sit down at the table.
Din catches her up on everything Greef said.
"It seems like a straightforward operation. They're providing the plan and firepower. We're the snare."
"With the kid?" She asks.
"That's why we're coming to you," I say as I shake my leg to keep the kid entertained.
"I don't know. I've been advised to lay low. If they run my chain code I'll be stuck in a cell for the rest of my life."
"I thought you were a veteran," Mando says.
"I've been a lot of things since. Most of them carry a life sentence. If I so much book passage on a ship registered to the New Republic, I'm-"
"We have a ship. I can bring you there and back with a handsome reward. You can live free of worry."
"I'm already free of worry, and I'm not in the mood to play soldier anymore. Especially fighting some local warlord."
"He's not a warlord," I say, "He's imperial." Cara is a rebel we both fought a war to get rid of these people I know she'll be willing to do it again.
"I'm in."

Mando and Cara come down from the cockpit. He lets her go through his weapon collection choosing which ones she likes best. I'm refilling our med kit because who knows whats gonna happen. They talk about why are we going back.
"And you're okay with bringing the kid?" She asks.
"No," I say my head still buried in the kit.
"That's why we're bringing you," Din says. The ship starts to shake and I look around for the kid and he's not here. The med kit rolls off the table as we get thrown around the ship.
"You left him up there?!"
I somehow make my way up the ladder only falling once.
The kid has a hold of the joystick.I grab the kid handing him to Din. I sit in the pilots chair pressing a few buttons and then ship goes back to normal.
