Anakins POV
"Trust me Obi-Wan!" I pulled him away from the other separatist leaders. We were leaving the conference room and I finally knew who the traitor was. It was hard to believe, it even hurt me. But it was worse than I imagined and we needed to get back to Coruscant now. The hologram of a hooded man by the name of Sidious was at the center of the table and although his face remained unseen. I knew that voice. I'd know that voice anywhere. We'd been here a full three weeks. It wasn't as long as I expected to be here but I'm glad we can finally go.

"Anakin you can't be serious," He argued with me as I tried to pull him out of the building. "It's difficult enough to believe the traitor is a senator but to be the Chancellor?"

"I know but I know it's him Obi-Wan." I stopped him in the middle of the hallway so I could look him in the eyes, "You trust me right?"

After a moment he nodded slowly, "Of course."

"Then trust that I know I'm right, that was him." I pointed toward the end of the hall where we just came from. "I'm willing to bet my life on it."

He sighed, "I believe you but I'm worried, how are we gonna be able to prove it's him. He is the chancellor."

"I have a plan but we need to go, now. Don't forget that Padme, (y/n), and Satine are in the same building as him right now." At the mention of Satine I knew I had his full attention.

We snuck out of the building, avoiding all security detail who might question our actions and made our way to the ship we had hidden for our departure.

(y/n)'s POV
As I landed the ship down near the location sent to me by the Chancellor, I watched as another ship left. That better not have been Grievous. I closed my eyes and felt around in the force. No. He was still here. This was it, I was going to get my revenge.

I put on a cloak and covered myself with the hood. I walked up to the building and there were guards standing at the entrance. "Stop, who are you?" One of them held a hand out to keep me from moving any further. With a wave of my hand I shoved them both back against the wall and they fell unconscious to the floor.

I stepped inside and I let the rage take over. I know I shouldn't have but like Dooku always taught me, rage made you stronger. And that's what I needed to be if I was going to win.

I made my way through the hallway, keeping my head down. I didn't want him to know I was here until it was too late and he couldn't run like the coward he was.

Separatists were walking along by me going in different directions, oblivious to who I was. I could kill them too.. but I decided against it, I didn't want to go that far and lose myself.

They weren't why I was here.

I came across tall double doors and I knew he was behind them. I used the force to shove them open. There was an oval shaped table with about ten separatists around them and at the very end of the table, directly across from where I was standing was him.

"How dare you disturb a private meeting. Get out!" Grievous snapped and I let out a dark chuckle.

"No," I took the hood off so he could see my face, "I don't think I will."

"General (y/l/n)." He growled and slammed his fists against the table.

"If you don't wish to die," I let my eyes scan the people around the table, "I'd leave if I were you." I threatened with venom in my voice. They all looked at me with fear then to Grievous before they stood up and rushed past me out of the room. Grievous and I kept our eyes on each other the whole time. A few droids came into view but he held his hand up to them to stop them. He wanted me all to himself.
