Red sat stone face as they were hurling through hyper back to Maz. One of her people had betrayed them. It was the only thing that made sense. But who? She wasn't going let that womp rat live! They had killed a good man. It was hard to believe that Nate was gone. He gave his life for them.

The remaining ships exit hyperspace and land near Maz castle. Hawk's ship was the last to land. Hawk sat in the cockpit for a few seconds trying to control his temper. His eyes were bloodshot from his grief. He climbs down the ladder and goes to the shuttle.

Kay couldn't wait to get out of the shuttle after it landed. The further that she was away from the betrayer, the better. She stood out of the way as the other ships landed, spotting Hawk within his own. When he exited the ship and began walking towards her, she broke out in a run and met him halfway, wrapping her arms around him in a hug. There were no words for her to express. He would feel it all. So she just remained silent while she held him.

But therein there lay the next question. What were they to do now?

Hawk hugged Kay fiercely against his chest. He rested his head against the top of her. Her calm was helping him to gaain his own. He was so deeply wounded. It surprised him how deep it felt. He never experience such loss before. He wasn't prepared for it.He took a few deep breaths before pulling away from Kay.

Maz raced down from the castle when she saw the ships returned too soon. Something terrible had to happen. When she reached them. She knew by the expression on their faces. They had lost a great Jedi..a great man.

Kay held him for as long as it took. Now he knew some of the same grief that she had gone through when she lost Shaw. Only everything was taken from her at that point and she was alone. Hawk wasn't alone.

She looked over to Maz as the small woman approached. "We were ambushed and lost Nate. Someone's a spy."

Maz nods. "I'm sorry for your loss." She says to them. She was going to say More but was interrupted by a commotion. Red was yelling at her people demanding to know what happen. "Show me. This bomb." Red walks toward a ship going to look at the bomb when the rest of the ships explodes. A huge fireball erupts. Red knocked to the ground from blast. Parts of the ships rain down on them.

Kay nodded a little to Maz, her eyes soon drawn to the commotion. She raised a brow slightly and slipped out of Hawk's arms. A bomb?

Then the explosion came. Out of instinct she stepped back and covered her head until the shockwave blew past them. That could have been any one of them. Prana's reach was very far indeed.

Maz was already on top of things, sending medics to help the wounded and others to put out the flames. It was almost as though she was used to this.

Kay looked to Hawk. "You should call Maddie and your mom, to be sure that they are okay."

Hawk nods. "Yeah I should." He couldn't handle anymore bad news today. How was he going to tells his mom about dad dying? Even though they were divorce it didn't mean they stop loving each other.

He quietly talks to Mom confirming that everything was ok with Maddie. His voice breaks a little as tells Sabrina about dad's sacrifice. He wipes his eyes as he ends the conversation.

"They are fine. Thank the force." He tells Kay.

Kay wandered off a little bit while he spoke with his family. Even though they could be safe now, it didn't mean that they always would be. Prana's people could be on their way.

She nodded when Hawk gave her the news. "Good. I hope that it stays that way." Kay looked about at the mess that was everywhere. What a dumb plan this was that they hatched up. They should have just left things alone. But hindsight was 20/20.

"So.....what now?"

 

[Hawk Solo]

[member="Lady Kay"]

"We go home." He said sounding defeated. "We can't defeat Prana. He is too powerful." It killed him to say that. "I would love to find the spy and torture the little rat."

"What do you think we should do?"

 

[Kay-Larr]

[member="Hawk Solo"]

"You should go home to Maddie and your mom. You've been away from them for long enough. They need you, especially now."

She gave him a small reassuring smile, not wanting to touch on the subject of Hawk torturing someone. That was just his anger and grief talking.

 

[Hawk Solo]

"Yeah. We are going to need to book passage." He sighs Prana still had his ship. He assumed that Kay was coming home with him. Red came to the pair after everything had happen. "So that it! I lose some of best men and you want to go home. Grow a pair and fight. ". Red was angry wanted revenge.

 

[Kay-Larr]

[member="Hawk Solo"]

She nodded to him, though she didn't intend on tagging along. No, she was going to go on her own. If there was a chance of them being hunted, then it would be better if they weren't together.

But then Red came over and interrupted. "Grow a pair and fight? You lost some of your men due to a spy among your crew. And we would have all lost our lives had it not been for Nate's sacrifice. The best thing to do would be to let it go. Not forever, just for now." She kept herself calm, speaking only matter-of-factly.

"You Jedi and letting thing go. That what Prana expects. We go back now just the three of us." Red says passionately. Hawk glances at Kay. "Surprise is a big advantage. I'm in." Hawk says his eyes glittering with angry. There are problems with three of us. How to attack?"

Red smirks. "We don't need pilots or a fleet. We will use brains, Braun and the force. Instead of hiring more merchant. We could use droids ships for the attack while the three of us go in and get Prana."

Kay frowned slightly as she listened to Red and Hawk make their plans. Going with so few of numbers wasn't exactly beyond her. Hawk and herself did it when infiltrating Prana's compound before. But some younglings lost their lives as a result. She sighed, the feeling in her gut was still there. "This is a bad idea....but maybe the stupidity of it is what will make it work."

 

[Hawk Solo]

[member="Lady Kay"]

"Hey Red. One problem we don't have any droid ships." Says Hawk "or the funds to get them. Red giggles. "Don't worry about it. I know a place where we can "borrow" the ships."

Hawk shakes his head in disbelief. "Steal? .anger....gamble..drink.. revenge..why not just turned to the dark side." Some Jedi he was turning out to be

 

[Kay-Larr]

[member="Hawk Solo"]

Steal the ships? How were they going to do that? Kay looked to Hawk and then over to Red. "I assume that you'll do it all yourself or teach us how? I don't think that either of us had even attempted such a thing before." But she could be wrong. There was a good five years in which she had no idea where Hawk was, nor what he was doing. Anything could have happened in that time.

"Stealing is stealing. You have stolen before?" Asks Red. "Yeah...I have. Nothing this big." Hawk says sheepishly

"Don't worry it easy as pie." Red states. She didn't think a goody like Kay has. "We are going to intercept a shipment. We are talking brand new ship with the latest tech."

 

[Kay-Larr]

[member="Hawk Solo"]

Kay raised a brow. Intercept a shipment? It's as easy as pie? Why did she believe that this venture was going to be anything but easy? Call it a gut feeling.

"Something tells me that you've already picked a target. And it's not so easy for those that don't know how to fly such vessels."

 

[Hawk Solo]

[member="Lady Kay"]

"Kay, we don't have to fly them. We just have to hack them. They are droid ships." Hawk replies. Red nods her head. At least Hawk understands what they are doing. "Red you do know how to hack?" He wasn't going to trust another associate of Red's

 

[Kay-Larr]

[member="Hawk Solo"]

Kay raised a brow. They had to hack them? Well that wasn't good. If they could be hacked once, then they could be hacked again and used against them. She had a bad feeling, again. So much could go wrong.

Her eyes were then drawn over to Red. Kay wasn't quite sure of who to trust anymore. Not after Nate's sacrifice.
