Filming was done on Chasing Destiny, everything in the can and ready to go to editing Bettany was pleased with herself but she was tired. Tired and just wanting to get home to Naboo where she could have a soak in the bath and plan a little break before the next project, and maybe pretend she didn't have Jedi training to fit in somewhere.

"Night guys" she said to the two large muscular door staff that she had gotten to know over the last few weeks.

"Night Miss Sal-Soren. Fly safe " one of them threw back with a big smile.

She carried on walking through the harshly lit speeder park to get to the open air section where her shuttle was docked and ready for her, it would be a nine hour hyperspace trip home so she might get read for some sleep. She started scrolling on her device looking for some mine numbing show to put on and drift off to once she took off and was on autopilot. Thats when her device chimed with a private message.

Hey Betty,

Congratulations on wrapping up on Destiny! I got you a little something to celebrate, hope you like it . We'll call it your life day gift too. Anyway, I won't spoil the suprise but your old one is safe and we can talk about selling it at some point.

See you soon
Phillip

Her eyebrows raised in curiosity as she pondered the message, the older guy was always so generous to her, what had he done now? It was quite obvious once she got to where her shuttle had been parked. She was not confronted with the pretty, second hand Fee8-500 shuttle she owned, instead was a bright red and from what she could tell, a brand new sports model. Her eyes lit up, it was gorgeous! Was that really hers. It was everything she could do not to squeek

Every now and again, Yuri found himself on Denon. Alarmingly, it was almost always for bad or unsavoury reasons as well. He had finally begun to work on bringing the Ironworks back to life, but that trip left him rather light in the pocket. Coupled with a job that went bad, the Hound was looking for any quick and dirty job to get some credits back in his pocket.

Thankfully one such job came up. An undignified one to say the least, but it would at least get him by until the credits start coming in from the business. All he had to do was steal a snazzy new ship and deliver it.

Apparently it was bought by some rich movie director. Nobody to be concerned about at least, but what Yuri didn't expect was the security measures once he managed to get to it. Complicating things further, it was in a public lot with a bunch of foot traffic. A fully armoured Mandalorian would stick out like a sore thumb, so he elected to ditch his suit for this job for the most part. He still kept one or two pieces just to make his life easier.

After messing about with his vambrace and the ship for what felt like an eternity, he finally managed to gain entry to the cockpit and was about to start it up before he noticed someone approach.

Thinking quickly, Yuri hid himself behind the seats in what he could only guess was a type of cabinet for things more expensive than he could fathom. He kept his breathing down and turned the volume down on his comlink, just in case. He was stuck. He couldn't leave until the stranger moved on.

The teen continued to examine the vehicle with no idea about the current unexpected occupant it contained. As she slid her finger across the top of the door handle lights ran down the seam of handle, turned green and the door effortlessly hissed open. It was already tied to her, it was so fancy. She put the keys for her own shuttle back into her pocket and climbed into the control seat. There was a faint blue light that scanned her then the control column extended and the HUD appeared on rhe glass in front of her. The rest of the glass darkened to provide her with privacy and she readied for take off.

She had flown speeders like this before, but only borrowing them from other people. As the air inside began to circulate, what was that smell? "Weird, smells like wet dog in here." she said quietly to herself, she could only assume that the delivery driver had been some weird species with a body odour issue.

Vents began to refresh the air in the cabin as she retracted the landing struts and the ship hovered under its own power.

Bettany grabbed her handbag and opened up her compact mirror just checking her eye make up. She was so flicking tired from today, she needed an eye mask badly. She was about to put the compact away when.

Her heart stopped

Eye looked back at her, but it wasnt her own. There was someone on the back seat of her new motor and it took everything she had not to scream.

Yuri slowed his breathing and hid in the back of the luxurious ship, trying his hardest not to draw attention to himself as the girl climbed in and made herself at home. All he had to do was lay low and wait for her to park before taking control to fly off. Easy money. However, her remark brought a frown to his features. Not a chance in hell that his odour was that bad.

Confirmation would have to wait as the girl took off. Everything in this vehicle was far too expensive for his blood. Even the little cubby area felt more luxurious than anything he owned. He pushed the thoughts aside as he studied what little he could of the girl in front of him. There was something oddly familiar from what he could glimpse of her. But things took a turn when she brought out a pocket mirror and their eyes locked. Yuri's heart sank, and the girl seemed to be on the verge of completely freaking out.

Yuri launched forward and clamped a hand over her mouth in an attempt to keep her quiet. Not that it would do much with them alone in a speeder, but he thought it was a good idea. "Calm down. Don't freak out. I ain't gonna hurt ya, I'm just here on a job." He quickly explained himself.

The situation was deteriorating rapidly, however he did get a proper chance to study his victim. "Wait a karkin' minute... you're that actress lady?!" He exclaimed.

He hesitated for a brief second or two, unsure of what to do with the new information. He had a high value celebrity in his possession, along with the speeder. A ransom wasn't too bad of an idea...
