We were running like crazy with our Landspeeders.

I knew something bad was going on. There was no doubt about that anymore.

Cal leads us out of an old building.

Our ship is outside and there's plenty of people gathered there.

As we descend from the Landspeeder, I take off my blaster and approach them in anger.

A Weequay stands out from the crowd and comes towards us.

I pick up my blaster and point at him.

«Where is she?» I yell.

He puts his hands in the air with a faint smile. «Come on buddy you don't have to aim me with your blaster.» says with a friendly tone but his voice is shaking.

«AD...» Cal says calmly.

«Where is she?» I yell louder without lowering the blaster.

«Hondo where is she?» Cal asks with a steady voice.

I turn and look at Cal with doubt. He knows this Hondo. Who's definitely responsible for Keirah's disappearance. «You know him?»

«Hondo Ohnaka.» the Weequay responds while making a slight bow. «Owner of Ohnaka Transport Solutions.»

I'm lowering my blaster looking both at Cal and Hondo. «A smuggler.»

«And occasionally a pirate.» Hondo says with pride. «As for your friend, do you prefer the short story or the whole one?»

«The whole story.» I'm saying curtly.

«The short story.» Cal says in hasty at the same time.

«The Stormtroopers have her not exactly Stormtroopers...»

«What?» I'm shouting with my eyes wide open.

«Where are they taking her?» Cal asks suspiciously.

Hondo sighs. «Oh man are you sure you wanna go there?»

«Hondo where are they taking her?» Cal insists.

«Nal Hutta!!!» Hondo responds breathlessly.

I feel my body paralyzed.

I can't remember what happened.

Where am I?

Why can't I open my eyes?

Why do I feel so cold?

Suddenly a light blinds my eyes and I find myself falling on the floor of a ship. I'm in a cell, and behind me, I see a frame. A frame I've seen before.

Carbonite frame.

Mando had a small unite on the Razor Crest.

A trembling permeates my whole body as I'm trying to breathe.

Now I remember!!!

After the Stormtroopers led me to their ship, they moved me to a cell. And then all I can remember is the vapors as the carbonite put me in hibernation.

A thin layer of slime cover my body and I'm morphing out of disgust. My hands are tied with the handcuffs they put in the warehouse.

«Exiting hyperspace in five.» I hear a voice from afar.

«The Council is waiting at the Palace.»

I wonder if they're talking about the Shadow Council.
