Nate gave Leilani a roguish smile as he listen. "I might be able to help you there. I know a few little shops that deal with off market goods. Now that I live here."

"You live HERE on Nar Shaddaa?" Hawk asks with disbelief. "It doesn't seem like your kind of place."

"Not everyone is lucky as you Hawk to have a temple to go back too. Enough about me..I have to hear the story of how a "jedi" and you met?" Nate asks her

 

[Leilani Paaie]

She arched a brow, "on a beach not anything so mysterious. I'm more interested in the story of why a father and son would have such animosity to one another. "

Nate leans back in his chair as he looks at Leilani. He gives her a look. He knows all about the pheromones that Zelton used. It took a strong man to resent them. He was a strong man. "Just the usually family drama."

"What? Family drama..." Hawk sputters in disbelief. "The last time Nate and I met, we had a disagreement over enslaving kids. The great former Jedi Master is running around slaving force kids. "

Nate smirks. "Correction..I used to do that. Now I'm in business for myself."

"A slaver in any situation would be considered less than honorable, add in children and I would say that is an offense that gets you killed." She could see it in the way he sat still he was convinced he was right about whatever it was.

Leilani looked at Hawk and then back to Nate, "What business would that be?" Said the Red Raven Spy.

"Whatever I decide it to be." Nate says sounding vaguely on purpose. Hawk shakes his head. "What the deal with the armor? Your not a Mando."

"No, I'm not a Mando." Nate says with a smirk. He run his gloved hand along his neck touching the chain of the amulet. Gloved hand was protected from the amulet,

"I should be going." Nate finishes his ale. He sets the empty glass down.

 

[Leilani Paaie]

Leilana reached over grabbing the gloved hand, "pretending to be a mandalorian will earn you a death Mark. One I'll be glad to pass around with an open contract. You know first come first serve. But. If you give over the amulet, I will wait a day to tell them"

She smiled. [member="Hawk Solo"]

Nate raises an eyebrown at her. "No. I don't think so sweetheart. Just don't trust you to do the right thing. You have no idea the power of this."

"I do." Says Hawk. "Hand it over now. Or would you rather lose more limbs." Nate yanks his hand away from Leilani. "Listen to him. He sounds like a Skth lord. Is this your doing?" Nate asks the Zelton.

"I don't really care what you think" Leilani looked towards the door, "i'm a zeltron I have some telepathic abilities" She said this all so very calmly as she then smiled at the bartender. Who immediately stood straighter looking over. "Can you call a Field Marshall for me, um..Strider Garon, or um Verz Horak I think is another good name. Tell them I have some information for them"

She looked to Hawk, and then to his father. "There's only been one thing I've had to give him some instruction on and it's clear now why" She smiled, "soo..." she smiled again..

"Really, really you have some telepathic abilities." Nate chuckles. He glances at the bartender. Using his abilities in the forces, Nate tells the bartender to forget the commands from Leilani and then ignore her. The bartender looks confused then continues to serve his patrons ignoring them.

" You don't want to get in a pissing match with me, sweetheart." Nathan pulls the amulet out and hold it close to his chest plate. The amulet stone was white glow. Nate was careful not to touch the stone. " you have no idea how dangerous this artifact is. I don't trust anyone with it. I don't trust the Jedi order, silver Jedi, you or Hawk. This has to be destroyed not saved or placed in a museum or studied. It's to powerfull. it's evil "

Leilani smiled, "Oh it isn't about control of the mind, its about the call he placed with the push of a button" She smiled see she had been in her multiple times, she knew how to play the game. She was someone who did not like to lose.

"I don't need to as you say get in a pissing match, I just need to smile, and scream" She swept the glass off the table the glasses shattered on the floor, "OHHHH OWWW OWWW, You're hurting me" Just then several men got up from the bar, "leave the amulet and then leave the bar" she projected to his mind.

She moaned in pain,"Can someone get me some ice please" She looked at Nate and then to Hawk.

Nate knew when he been beat. "You won this time." He lays the amulet on the table next to his helmet. In one swift move, he put the helmet back on. "Remember what I told you."

The men from the bar came forward. "You ok miss? Is this man bothering you?" Nate was tempted to force shove the men away. It was time to leave. He turns to leave letting Hawk handle the situation.

One of the guys spots the amulet, it looked valuable to him. The guy reaches out and touches the amulet to steal it. The amulet flashes red and the man falls to ground dead. Hawk eyes widen. He slips his hand into a glove and grabs the amulet.

 

[Leilani Paaie]

She smiled she liked winning " yes thank you" she looked at the amulet. Interesting she thought. She watched in fascination as the man reached out and touched it.

Then he died. Oh that was unexpected. She looked at Hawk, "well now you best figure that out"

She looked at Nate, "time is passing you should be leaving"

Nate shakes his head as the guy dies. He walks out of the bar. He hopes that Hawk will make the right decision. And not get seduce by the power of the amulet,

Hawk looks at the amulet in his hand. He knew that it could take and bring back life. Just didn't know how to do it. Now wasn't the time to play with it. He waves his hand at the men gatherings around their fallen friend. He wipes their last few minutes of memory of himself and Leilani.

"Time to go." He takes her elbow with the hand not holding amulet and stirs her outside into the light.

Off they went outside, she wasn't sure why he wanted to depart so quickly it only made them look guilty to run.

"What are you doing Hawk?"

 

[Hawk Solo]

[member="Leilani Paaie"]

What was he doing? He really didn't know. He knew that he had to get the amulet out of there. "Nate is right.. This is dangerous. We need to get off world now. My ship is nearby." He whispers in hushes tones. Hawk felt a tremor in the force. He glances around. He didn't see anything. But he had the feeling that they were being watched. He leans in and kisses her trying to look like another loving couple out on the town for the night.

 

[Leilani Paaie]

[member="Hawk Solo"]

This was odd, she was trying to let him lead the way, "why, if he had it all this time, don't you have that same kind of control? How could he hide it and not you, I don't understand" She walked along almost rushed. The kiss was brief but still she didn't understand what was happening..

"Hawk Solo..I need more information"

 

[Hawk Solo]

[member="Leilani Paaie"]

"So do I." He says in a harsh whisper. He had no idea how to control the amulet. "I ..we have to keep moving. People have killed for this." He grabs a piece old cloth from a junk pile as they walk toward an old run down hanger bay. He wraps the amulet in the cloth and tucks it into his inner jacket pocket. It felt oddly warm there. It pulse like it was alive.

His eyes darted back and forth as he stretched out his jedi senses. He didn't sense anyone nearby. He still couldn't shake the feeling that he was being watched. He opens the door to hanger and holds it for her. "Ladies first."

 

[Leilani Paaie]

[member="Hawk Solo"]

She shook her head and walked past him into the hangar, she looked about and did not see anyone that should give them any trouble,

Course now he might be trouble, meaning Hawk but who knew at the moment she was winging it and hoping for the best.

 

[Hawk Solo]

[member="Leilani Paaie"]

Hawk followed her into the hanger bay after closing the door behind them. Hawk ship, Kamikaze, sat in the middle of the hangar bay. They slowly walk toward it. He was being cautious. He could still sense something or someone watching them. He motions for Leilani to stay as he walks around the ship. Nothing ...out to of the ordinary.

"Ok I think we are cleared." He walks up the ramp to key in his code. The door slides open. He walks and goes to cockpit. He wanted to get off world fast. He flops down in his chair and fires up the ships engines with a wave of his hand.

 

[Leilani Paaie]

She went to the cockpit and slid into another seat. "Where are we headed Hawk?" A plan. What was the plan loo
