"Are you sure, baby? I can always drop the work I'm doing for the Senate and meet you there," Anakin offered, his eyebrows knitted with concern as you held the hologram in your hand.

You rolled your eyes at how soft he was on you. "I don't need you to babysit me. I may not be a Jedi Master yet, but this could be the mission that proves to Yoda and Windu and the rest that I deserve to be."

He sighed, "You're right. Well, just be careful- we still don't know how dangerous Diamo or his minions are, or-"

"Or if they're even dangerous at all," You cut him off raising your eyebrows. "There's still no definitive proof that he's working for Count Dooku, so you don't need to be worried."

"Okay, I guess," He agreed, but you still sensed uncertainty in his tone.

"I'm landing the ship now, so I'll update you when I get back," You said keeping an eye on the hangar which had been opened for you.

"Alright, be safe," Anakin said softly. "I l-" He stopped midway, making your eyes widen as your heartbreak quickened.

Was he about to say the L word?

"Uh, yeah, so I'll see you when you get back to Coruscant," He said after clearing his throat.

"Yeah... see you," You replied before the hologram closed and you put it to the side.

Once your ship landed in Diamo's hangar, you made sure to put the recorder in your pocket so that Windu could hear the whole thing from back home. If Diamo was working for Dooku, it was likely that he'd kill you straight away, and the Jedi had to know whether or not he was guilty. While this seemed like a suicide mission, you had to take the risk. It was the only way the Council would take you seriously and promote you to Jedi Master.

As soon as you left the ship, Diamo was there to greet you. "Ah, Y/N, so wonderful to have you here," He smiled, holding out his arms. "Come, follow me inside."

You did as he said, trailing behind him while his guards, who were Jashwiks, kept their eyes on you and followed close behind. When you got to the door, Diamo turned to you.

"I hope you don't take offence, but it's simply protocol that we search for you any weapons." He revealed, immediately unnerving you.

"Uh, weapons?" You asked. "But I'm a Jedi Knight; I always stay armed."

"That's understandable," Diamo began, his eyes warm and kind. "But it is not necessary for you to be armed when you are inside my home. Please, don't mind. Guards!"

Two Jashwik males stepped forward before patting you down with no warning, making you incredibly nervous. They took your lightsaber and blaster, before one of them gave you a curious look and pulled out the audio recorder.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Diamo asked, still smiling as he took the device from the guards hand. "An audio recorder? And whatever would you need that for, Y/N?"

"Um, it's just for precautions," You said, trying to keep calm. "All Jedi Knights must wear them at all times."

Effortlessly, he crushed the device in his hand. The smile dropped from his lips and all of the kindness vanished from his features as he looked you up and down. "This means I cannot trust that you don't have any more devices on you. In that case, I have no choice but to strip search you."
