As the Mandos drag me away, I look back at Zar’kun. “You know I’m right! If they try to silence me like they did Zarka, you’ll know I was right!!”

“Shut up, witch.” I push her forward, forcing her to walk back into the command center with us.

Inside Korre’s room, I put down my communicator and look at Jakito. “Everyone’s accounted for. Koraline and Luci are alive, though they won’t be able to help us investigate. Seems they overindulged on the Mandalorian brew last night and are now nursing severe hangovers. As for Caalin, it seems he got some ideas of his own. He slipped away late last night, stole a starfighter and disappeared off planet. All he left behind was a hastily scribbled note about tracking down Hayden.”

I shake my head. “Stupid love sick boy. Reminds me of myself.” I chuckle. “What about Satele? You don’t think Nab...” I quickly glance at Korre. “I mean... Saxon had her killed, do you?”

“You really think Satele would let a bunch of Mandos get the better of her? No, I’m sure she’s fine. But... she’s disappeared too... again.”

“Great! Just when we could have used her to help figure this mess out. Once again, we’re left to deal with it all alone.” I rest my chin on my fist.

I look between the two. “You know... I’m not stupid. I know what your not telling me. You think Senator Naberrie is behind all this. Well... as you could probably guess, I don’t believe it. And before you say anything, I KNOW what she has done. I know she’s deceptive, and manipulative, and all all around and person. But I also know that she knows that, and I know that she knows that you know... you know?” At Jakito’s confused expression, I clarify. “She’s obviously the one behind this... which is why I don’t believe she is the one behind it. Xan is too clever to have been so careless. She’d have layered her deception better. She’d have put herself in a position where she couldn’t be caught. And most of all, she wouldn’t have let you two watch me if she was expecting to make a quick get away.”

I think about it for a moment. “Maybe... or maybe not. But I trust my old master is wise enough to come to the right conclusion in the end.” I pick back up my communicator. “Status, Zar’kun?”
