CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE 

⌞                                              ⌟

MOS Pelgo was just like any typical town on Tatooine; though Artemis could feel a disturbance in the air. There was something the people feared. Artemis could feel the people watching them. They were curious and she knew not many travelers came here.

Din got off the speeder and offered her his hand. Artemis, though knowing she was perfectly capable of getting off on her own, accepted his hand nonetheless and slid off, too.

Her feet touched the ground and the turned her head to look over her shoulder to Grogu. "You okay, buddy?"

Happy babbling came from him and Artemis knew he was just fine.

"Let's head into that cantina," Din said, nodding at the cantina a bit further along. "I'm sure there'll be someone who knows where we can find the Mandalorian."

"Right behind you," Artemis replied, as she pulled her hood up.

The two of them headed inside and halted as they eyed their surroundings. It was dark inside but Artemis' eyes adjusted almost immediately. Looking around, she noticed there weren't many customers—there certainly was no Mandalorian.

"Can I help you?" the bartender questioned Din.

Artemis turned around and noticed that the bartender wasn't in awe with Din and his armor. Perhaps he had seen it before. This gave Artemis hope.

"We're looking for a Mandalorian," Din said, placing his hands on the counter desk.

"Well, we don't get many visitors in these parts," the bartender said. "Can you describe him?"

"Someone who looks like me," Din said dryly.

"Mmm," the bartender said, eying Din up and down. "You mean the Marshal?"

"Your Marshal wears Mandalorian armor?" Din questioned, surprised.

The bartender grunted and nodded at the entrance. "See for yourself."

Artemis twirled around, eyes wide as she recognized the man in the doorway—or at least, who she thought he would be. Her hands were already on the vests of her lightsabers before she could feel that it wasn't him. It wasn't Boba Fett.
