~| Lea & Khan,  Kaggath |~[/center]

 Khan tried to stay wary of any sort of danger and scan the hallways as he walked, though he was sort of distracted by the thought of what might have happened to Xid to cause him to disappear from the kolto tank. He wasn’t actually sure what they would do once they managed  to find Xid if he was really in trouble, but they had  to try and do something didn’t they? 

In the background, low at first but rapidly gaining in volume, was the noise of marching boots. That was clear it could only be one thing, Lea reasoned as her body tensed slightly. Being so close to Khan, the boy could easily tell she also had heard it and that it concerned her for obvious reasons. Without much of an explanation she leaned to whisper into his ear, applying a bit more weight on his small body, “We have to do something, distracted them or hide. Else we’ll never find Xid if we’re tossed back into the cells every time.” 

They were going to be discovered after all? No, Khan couldn’t let that happen while Xid was still missing. Lea was obviously still too weakened to serve as the distraction and at the moment he couldn’t think of any place to hide, so there was only one thing he could do, at least as he saw things. He eased  Lea’s weight off from around himself and ran towards the troopers shouting and waving his arms and generally being as noticeable as possible as he took off away from the other jedi. Khan was reasonably fast for his size, and if it came down to it he could probably fight off the troopers who caught up to him, at least for a while. Meanwhile Lea could hopefully either hide or continue the search for Xid. They probably wouldn’t kill him or hurt him too badly  if he was captured, just throw him back in his cell. He hoped.

 Lea didn’t stop him, knowing it wouldn’t have done any good. She was silent as she pressed herself against the wall, allowing herself to become as small as possible, while the troopers spotted Khan. The head guy shouted, his blaster raised while her took a warning aim. “Halt, stop right there.” 

When the boy didn’t, he looked to his companions then gestured for them to fall out. Their boots rushed across the metal flooring, echoing their location to Khan rather easily, while in pursuit of the younger Jedi. However, he was faster and quickly started to pull away. Now left alone, Lea made a breath in relief then pushed herself upright to continue her search for Xid. She was sure the boy would escape unharmed and so, she didn’t worry about his well being because the Darth obviously didn’t want them dead. At worse he would be caught and placed back into the cells.
