Kaylee and Rush had tracked the injured Anzat for several miles, but because of the high winds of the sand storm, it became impossible to follow his tracks, and the severity of the storm made it too dangerous for them to continue the pursuit, so they reluctantly decided to wait until morning to continue their search. With so many hours having passed, and the high winds of the storm covering up any tracks that the Anzat may have left, Kaylee relies on something else entirely in order to find the murderer. 

The Force. 

She reaches out through the Force and tries to home in on the man who had attacked her. Within moments, she feels something in the Force that makes her think that she might just have found her attacker. She feels a presence- one not too far from their current location, and a presence that is strong in the Force, and remotely familiar.

“Are you sure?” He asks.

“I think so, I don’t know. But there is definitely something over in that direction.”[/color] She says, pointing over to a rocky outcropping. 

The outcropping is farther away than it looks, and it takes longer than expected for Kaylee and Rush to get over it. When they do, they see a small homestead surrounded by nothing but the desert, with the exception of a luxury yacht, which looked to be a customized Starwind pleasure yacht parked on the other side of the small dwelling, looking completely out of place in the relative squalor of the area. 

[color=92278f]“I think we found our man.”[/color] Kaylee says as she heads down to the house.

As she approaches the home, she feels something, the very same presence that she had felt before that drew her to the area in the first place. Whatever the presence is, it is coming from within the ship itself.  She looks to Rush, and nods in the ship’s direction as she pulls her lightsaber from her belt and makes her way to the ship. As she approaches the ramp, which surprisingly leads to an open entry hatch, she can see movement inside the ship. She starts up the ramp with her finger on the activation switch of her lightsaber, and stops suddenly as the ship’s occupant meets her at the entry hatch. Not only is the figure standing before her not the man that she had confronted the night before, it was a man that she never thought that she would ever see again. The man before her had at one time been one of her closest friends, a man who had made the long days at the Academy bearable…a man who had suddenly left with no warning, and not even a goodbye.
