The sun had only just risen over the planet, casting the sky in a calming light yellow. I trudged along the ground next to Mando, we were unable to use Blurrgs since the creatures last night had taken two of them.
Cara was walking on the other side of Mando while the bounty hunters walked ahead of them. They were muttering quietly to each other which caused me to feel suspicious.
They closely whispered to each other and glanced around to make sure that they hadn't heard. I felt on edge by the way the bounty hunters kept turning around and staring suspiciously at us.
"You think they're having second thoughts?" Cara asked them
"Could be." Mando answered. "I need your eyes."
"I'm watching." Cara replied

I sighed as we came to a stop, I could see the town in the distance. We didn't have long until we reached it, and that's when the real danger started.
"I guess this is it." Greef Karga said from the front of the group.
I suddenly felt on edge, like there was an unknown danger that I couldn't see, I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand up and I tensed up, my muscles contracting as I prepared myself for a fight.
Suddenly, Greef Karga spun around and shot his blaster just behind them. I pulled my blaster out and aimed it at him out of reflex. I could hear the sound of bodies hitting the ground behind me. I turned my head and saw the two bounty hunters who were with Greef Karga lying on the ground with blaster shots to the chest.
Greef Karga then held his blasters up in the air as the three of us aimed our blasters at him. "There's something you should know."
He walked past them and put his blasters back in his holster. He then proceeded to kick over one of the bounty hunters bodies and kick his blaster out of his hand. "The plan was to kill the two of you and take the kid. But after what happened last night, I couldn't go through with it." Greef Karga explained
Mando and Cara stared coldly at him as they refused to lower their blasters. I glared in his direction as I clenched my jaw.
Greef Karga sighed and raised his arms out to the side. "Go on. You can gun me down here and now and it wouldn't violate the code. But it you do, this child will never be safe."
"Oh, and suddenly you care about the child. Only because he saved your ass." I spat out with a glare
"Yeah. We'll take our chances." Cara said
"The imperial client is obsessed with obtaining this asset. You tried to run, but where did it get you?" Greef Karga said
"This is ridiculous." Cara said to them
"Perhaps you should let him speak." Kuiil interjected
"Listen, we both need the client to be eliminated. Let me take the child to him and then you three..." Greef Karga started to say
"No." Mando firmly interrupted him
"Let's just kill him and get outta here." Cara said
Mando then suddenly lowered his blaster. "He's right."
Cara and I looked over at him. "What are you doing?" Cara asked him in confusion.
"As long as the Imp lives, he'll send hunters after the child." Mando explained
"It's a trap." Cara said
"Bring me." Mando said to Greef Karga
"Bring you?" He asked in confusion.
