[color=gray]Shae listened to what the Sith had to say, she was being given an assignment. While Shae was a mercenary in these parts, there was something in his tone that suggested it wasn't just a job.

Shae bit her lip and left the room, [color=red][b]"The Hutt's hideout it is..."[/b][/color]

Shae's mercenary work on Tatooine had paid off, she knew long ago how to find this Hutt, but she never bothered to cross his path. If Shae took down a crime boss, that would mean less jobs for her and it'd force her to move elsewhere for more work. The Hutt provided both the thugs she was stopping and the jobs to do, it was a sort of mutual love/hate relationship. Nevertheless, Shae had stopped many of his operations on Tatooine and she wasn't very well liked by the large slug, she couldn't just walk through the front door.

Subtly was key here, she'd find another way. Shae kept her black cloak on, with her blaster pistol in plain view and her lightsabers hidden in the sleeves of the flowing article of clothing. Her hood was up but even if her face wasn't visible, the crooks and thugs knew who she was. To these people, Shae wasn't the 'jedi' that had brought down their colleague's band of misfits, she was the merc that took the most dangerous jobs and stopped the most dangerous people. The two door guards stood nervously in silence as Shae stood across the street, they knew she was up to something, but they weren't about to ask her.

Then, she just turned and walked off. As she did, she had waved her hand slightly and the two guards forgot Shae was ever there and continued their conversation that never happened before.

Shae stepped out of eye shot from the door guards and stepped into an alleyway. She knew the layout to the Hutt's hideout, it went underground nine stories with a comprehensive ventilation system in place. Fortunately, the vents were large enough to fit a smaller woman like Shae. She approached a grate she had marked with a small scrape months ago and used the force to unscrew it from its place. She jumped in and then used the force again to seal the vent as if she was never there.

[color=red][b]"Holocron, here I come..."[/b][/color] she mumbled quietly and started crawling through the vents.[/color]
