A Tale Of Two Evil's

8. Explanation

"Second Sister, glad you can join me. I hear that you have an important matter to discuss."

"Yes Grand Inquisitor."

"Well, what is it?"

"Cal Kestis has decided to open Cordova's Holocron."

The Grand Inquisitor raised his eyebrow, returning his gaze back upon Trilla.

"I'm impressed Second Sister. I was starting to believe that Kestis was too strong for you to break. Thankfully I was wrong."

"I'll be ready for the mission on Illum today."

"I'm afraid you won't be going on that mission with The Ninth Sister. It has been delayed until further notice. You will stay here and confirm that Kestis is fully devoted on joining The Empire."

"As you wish, Grand Inquisitor."

"If you believe he isnt a threat, you may allow him out from the device. However, if he escapes this facility, then consequences for you Sister, will not be pleasant. Do not disappoint me, is that understood?"

"Yes Grand Inquisitor. I will make sure Kestis is fully committed to The Empire. He will not leave my sight until so."

"Good, you are dismissed."

Trilla left The Grand Inquisitor's office, heading to the room Cal was currently in. She was excited to see the boy, he just scored her good favor with Lord Vader, and possibly The Emperor. She felt happy for once, wondering on what possibilities aligned themself with her future.

She approached the door, opening it with the keypad. Trilla stepped in to find Cal, sleeping peacefully. She took off her helmet, staring at him for a couple of moments. He looked, in peace with himself. She felt a feeling in her stomach, a weird feeling that she couldn't describe. Was this feeling because of Cal? No that cant be it, maybe it was something she ate.

The Inquisitor approached Cal, slowly rubbing his right cheek. He moved slightly, causing Trilla to remove her gloved hand from his face.

"Cal?"

He shifted in his sleep, slowly opening his eyes to be met with Trilla's face. He yawned before focusing his attention to her fully.

"T-Trilla?"

"Yes Cal, it's me. I'm here to let you out."

"Oh ok. That's fantastic."

She went over to the control panel, pressing a few buttons. The metal around his hands and feet retracted, causing Cal to fall to the ground. Trilla went over to the boy, offering a hand that he gladly took. He stood up, looking at her, smiling. She noticed he was slightly taller than her, interesting, she never noticed it before.

"Thanks Trilla." He says, rubbing his eyes

"Its not a problem Cal. It wouldnt be right keeping you here after helping us." She replied

"So, how is this all going to work now? I assume most of The Empire still doesn't trust me yet."

Trilla shakes her head, staring directly into his eyes.

"That's right, Cal. First you'll have to open Cordova's holocron. That's all I have from The Grand Inquisitor at the moment. For now, follow me ok."

"Sure, lead the way."

Trilla punches a code into the door opening it. Cal and herself walk down multiple hallways and doors until they reached her quarters. She unlocked the door, allowing Cal to enter first. Once they both were in, she locked the door, leaving the two of them alone. Cal looked around the room, admiring the sheer amount of space and items Trilla owned. She noticed this, smiling softly at the boy.
