A/N: Its been a while... I was very burnt out from a lot of things, and then things just coming up. I want to finish the story, but updates may be far apart. I am planning a wedding, and an Star Wars event for over 1000 people in March. So I make no promises, but I am planning on starting a new chapter when I get back from my mini vacation.

This has not been edited, and it has been a while since I have looked at it. Please forgive any errors. If I make changes after I re-read the story I will make sure to note it whenever I get to the next chapter, hopefully sooner rather than later. Let me know if you see anything horrible to fix.

By the time they had reached the bar, the bounty hunters were already waiting for them, including two more that had not been there the previous day.

"Where is our gold?" a green Twi'lek asked.

"You get half now, and half once the job is done." Ventress snorted.

Kenobi held out a large bag and sat it on the ground, the Twi'lek walked up and opened the bag, and placed it on her shoulder.

"Alright, What do you need us to do?" she asked.

"Let's go inside." Kenobi replied, and walked into the deserted bar.

Once everyone was settled, he continued. "We need a distraction. You will pretend to rob the market, but first, what are your names?" Kenobi asked.

"What does it matter? We don't ask yours, and you don't need to know ours." a Human male replied.

Ventress rolled her eyes. "So shall we call you Asshole?"

"What my friend is trying to say is it will be less confusing if we can call each of you something."

"My name is Dosse, the asshole is Alcor, and this is Jakar, Kiratt, and Myn.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Ben, and this is Alruia. These are our communicators, they are on a secure channel. We will notify you when you are to begin, and then once Alruia and I have infiltrated the headquarters we will notify you, and you are to get out of the city and stand by the ship in case we are in need of a quick exit. Anything you acquire is yours to keep, but I must ask you not to kill. Incapacitate, yes, but do not kill anyone that isn't an immediate threat to your life. Our issue is with Alyonen, no one else.

"What do you want with Alyonen?" Myn asked.

"Information about who has been raiding the farmers and why. We are looking for those responsible," the Jedi replied.

"Why?"

"Does it matter?" Ventress asked icily.

"You'll have to excuse Myn, this is her first mission, and she doesn't know when to keep her mouth shut." Dosse said.

"That's quite alright, we are looking for two Dathomirian brothers. They are responsible for my father's death, and we are seeking justice."

"Does one of them have robotic legs?" Myn asked quietly.

Kenobi's eyes opened wide, "Yes, have you seen them?"

"He killed my parents and burnt our farm to the ground for no reason. Didn't talk, didn't use weapons. It was like they were lifted off the ground and then just died, followed by my sisters. I escaped, I don't know why, maybe to serve as a warning to others."

"I am sorry for your loss. How long ago did your parents die?" Kenobi asked gently.

"Two months ago."

Ventress looked at Kenobi. It was about two months ago that they had fought them.

"Let's go. It will take us a few hours to get there." Ventress said, and walked out of the bar.

They arrived just past the solar noon, and was able to get into the city without to much trouble. Ventress was walking around the vendors looking at the various weapons when Kenobi caught up with her. They were to separate and wander around to blend in with the other customers, to not raise suspicions.

"Do you really need another blaster? You have five of them strapped to you, along with your sabers. I have no idea where you put them all in that outfit."

"Wouldn't you like to know?" Ventress flirted, while caressing the gun.

Kenobi raised his eyebrows, "I think that will have to be a mystery for another day.

"Are you ready?" Ventress asked, putting the gun back on to the table.

When he didn't reply she looked over at him, and saw that he was staring at two lightsabers on the table. "Where they friends of yours?"

"No, I don't believe so. I don't recognize them. But I can sense them." The Jedi replied quietly.

"Come on, we have a job to do." She grabbed his hand, and started to lead him from the table, and towards the heavily fortified headquarters.

She didn't let go of his hand until they reached the side of the wall surrounding the Red Nova, even though the moment of sadness faded as soon as they left the vendor. She didn't know why she kept holding it, but found it comforting none the less. It also allowed the people they passed to think they were two lovers on a stroll around the city. Ventress took off her cloak and hid it underneath a rock. They had planned to scale the wall once the guards were distracted by the fake robbery. She reached for the communicator in her pocket.

"Dosse, its time. Good luck."

"To you as well." Dosse voice replied.

About a minute later, Ventress heard shouts and blaster fires, and watched as several guards left their post. She looked over to Kenobi who nodded, and it took three jumps for them to reach the top. She made herself as flat as she could and took the binoculars that Kenobi offered.

'There are about 10 guards in front of ust. To the left, there appears to be a exhaust port, that is where we should enter. To the right, it appears to be a guard tower with a sniper. If we stay low on the top of the wall, we should reach the exhaust port unnoticed." She whispered.

Kenobi nodded, and and made their way to the exhaust port without incident. He forced the gate of the tunnel and put his respirator on. Ventress did the same thing before putting the gate back on. Kenobi nodded his head towards the long tunnel and they started running until they reached a junction that went four different directions. Ventress nodded that they continue to go straight, and started down the path when Kenobi grabbed her hand and shook his head. She turned around and saw that he was pointing up to a tunnel. She nodded and jumped up. she landed and looked up through a grate that led to what she imagined was the first floor. She heard two voices talking.

"Have the caught the ones responsible?"

"Not yet, it seems there were originally only a few individuals, but in the chaos, it seems to have grown to about 20 individuals. It seems there is a rebellion starting.

"We need to take care of this before Alyonen finds out, otherwise it will be our heads."

"Is he back from the meeting with the Hutts?"

"He arrived a few hours ago. I am suppose to meet with him soon to discuss the recent asset we acquired. Please take care of this as quickly and as quietly as you can."

Ventress waited until their footsteps disappeared before quietly removing the grate and heaving herself on to the floor. She ran to an open door across the hall, and once Kenobi was in, she shut the door behind her, removed her respirator, and looked around. The office seemed deserted at the moment.

"Get back to the ship. You have more incoming," Kenobi whispered.

"Roger."

Ventress sat at the computer terminal, and started to look for the buildings blueprints. It seems who's ever office this was left their computer logged in. She would bet it was one of the two men that she just heard talking. Kenobi walked over and put his hand on the back of the chair.

"Find anything interesting?

"Alyonen's office is on the third floor, right above us. The shaft we just left will take us there, I imagine there will be guards outside."

"That's convenient." Kenobi chuckled.

"The armory is on this floor, as well the barracks. This computer doesn't have access to the personnel on the base. I could risk trying to bypass the security, but I would rather put a floor or two between us and the barracks before I attempt it."

"Agreed. Can you see if you can find quick exit if we need it?"

"From the blueprints, there isn't a lot of options. The exhaust port is one, the sewers, and there is a landing pad on the roof, but it will only be viable if there is a ship."

"Could Dosse pick us up from there?" Kenobi asked

"It's feasible, if they don't get shot down or abandon us. Bounty Hunter's are not the most trustworthy bunch. It was foolish to give them half of their fee upfront, Kenobi. Most of my colleagues would take the money and not look back."

"I got a good feeling about them. They will not abandon us. You need to trust people more, Darling." Kenobi placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Trust is for fools. It will only get yourself killed."

"After everything we have been through, don't you trust me?"

Ventress ignored the question, she was trying to formulate a plan for them to escape, and it looked like it would be either to hope there was a ship or fight their way to the sewers and escape from there. She preferred the latter, since there was a chance there was no ship.

"Let's go," The former assassin said. She walked over to the door and looked back at Kenobi who was still standing by the chair, with a slight look of frustration on his face. He gave a sigh and walked over to the door with his blaster in his hand.

"On my mark." he said, before putting the respirator back on.

Ventress nodded and did the same, the door opened, and the hallway was deserted. Ventress looked over at Kenobi, Everything was a little too easy for them. they expected resistance getting into the compound. She felt they were walking in to a trap, and tried to convey that feeling through the force. Either Kenobi understood, or felt it too, since he took off his respirator at the same time she did.

"I sense we are walking in to trap." Ventress whispered.

"Let's not keep them waiting."

They took the turbo lift to the third floor, and found it all but deserted beside a cleaning robot. They proceeded to Alyonen's office, and paused outside the door. She tried to use the force to see if Opress was inside, and was unsuccessful. She looked over to Kenobi, who shook his head. He must not have sensed Maul either. They must have learned how to hide their force signatures, which was unlikely, or they were not at the compound. A slight feeling of relief went through Ventress, she wouldn't have to decide between the Nightsisters and Kenobi today.

Ventress grabbed her lightsabers and opened the door. The office appeared to be empty,
