(Hi All. Here is a little reworking of this story. Not only did I do some tweaking, but I also decided to make this a longer story. I hope you enjoy. I own nothing but my OC.)

Han stared tentatively out the back door of the Cantina poking at his shot glass as he warily let his eyes brush over each strange creature that entered and passed him by.

He hoped Sadi was keeping herself out of trouble. Ever since Jabba sent the bounty hunters after him for failing his last smuggling mission, he was too afraid to even let her leave the ship at most space ports.

She had of course balked a little since sitting in a docked space ship by oneself wasn't exactly interesting, but Han had put his foot down this time.

There was too high of a chance that one of those bounty hunters had followed them from their last port and was waiting for a chance to pounce. Especially since Jabba had expressed a certain "interest" in his sister the last time they met to discuss things.

Not to mention the Mos Eisley Cantina was infamous for always being filled with the worst sort of riff raff known around the galaxy, most of whom who would rather shoot first then talk.

Sighing, Han sat back in his seat and rubbed at an incoming headache.

"Han, I know you said to stay out of sight, but I just saw a group of Imperial Stormtroopers skulking around and they were headed this way." Sadi's nervous uneasy voice suddenly filled his ears and the Smuggler jumped up sighing when a young girl about seventeen years old slid quickly into the seat across from him.

"Go back to the ship, Sadi." He snapped without acknowleding the statement and fixing his sister with one of his fatherly stern looks that Sadi was already well used to.

"Remember Jabba knows who you are which means anyone who's looking for me will also be looking for you. You got your blaster?" He asked without missing a beat.

Sadi rolled her eyes and patted her back pocket holster. "Right here, but I thought you said you wanted to avoid the Imperials too. Not just the bounty hunters. They're all over this place." She insisted.

Han clenched his hand into a fist on the table. "I know, but I also want to keep you away from all these slimy slugs. Mos Eisley has some of the worst of them you know." He stated rather obviously.

Sadi shrugged as she fiddled with an ashtray on the table. "Yeah, but you wouldn't let them near me even if it was with a forty thousand and a half foot pole." She smiled slightly in an attempt to lighten the mood. Han just snatched the ashtray from her.

"This is not up for discussion, Kid." He said warningly. "Go back to the Falcon right now and get her ready for take off. I'll join you as soon as Chewie gets back from the bar." Sadi sighed and fiddled with her sleeve.

"Sadira Rabin Solo, don't make me carry you like I did back on Malastare." He finally threatened.

Sadi finally gave up scowling as she usually did at the use of her full name. Han usually used it to get her to stop arguing with him, but Sadi didn't like being reminded of her middle name.

"You are a pain in the butt, you know that?" She gave him the stink eye.

This time Han had to laugh. "I know. It's in the job description. Now move it!" He looked up as Chewbacca came tromping back. He whined a bit when he saw Sadi.

Han rolled his eyes. "She was just about to leave Chewie, don't worry." Sadi sighed and hopped up from her seat.

"I'll have the ship ready for take off the minute you get back." She promised, turning to trudge out the back door of the cantina pulling up her hood just as she got outside.

Han nodded his head then rubbed his temples. The things he put up with for that kid.

...

Main thrusters? Check. Blaster Gauntlets? Check and check!..Ship wide intercom- (Hello there) A long slimy tail suddenly wrapped itself around Sadi's neck interrupting her train of thought and her work on the ship.

She tried to scream, but the creature squeezed his tail around her windpipe making her gasp instead.

"Jabba the Hutt..." Sadi blubbered out in pure terror. She knew as well as Han did what the repulsive crime lord wanted with her, but she tried her best to hide her fear. The Hutt chuckled as if reading her thoughts.

(Ahh...Sadira! You're as beautiful as ever my little firefly. Are you well?) He rumbled in rough huttese.

Sadi pressed her lips together and stiffened in disgust as Jabba yanked her head up with his tail and traced a dirty chubby claw against the exposed side of her neck. The hutt chuckled at the look on her face.

(Not up to talking I see. That's all right. You know you'd probably fetch a fair price in these parts of the galaxy. In fact I'm willing to bet you'd be worth at least half a thousand truguts. More than enough to settle your worthless brother's debt.)

Sadi glared harder and flinched as the slug tried to touch her cheek. "Get..off me!" She tried her best to snarl the words, but due to her fear it came out sounding more choked and breathy.

The slimy hutt snorted blowing his foul breath into Demi's face.

(Ah ah ah..you seem to forget Sadi dear, that I'm the one in charge.) He held her closer against his body making her cringe.

(And if Han were to agree to an arrangement I could not only cancel his debt in full, but I could also...add in a little extra on the side for his vanity.) He let his fingers trail down Sadi's arms and the well toned muscles of her stomach. Sadi bit her lip.

"Han will never do that...You'll get your money soon enough, so let go of me before there's trouble." Sadi tried to sound bold, but she flinched again when Jabba licked her cheek.

(Ho ho ho. Always trying to act like you're as tough as Han is. I know you though.) He stroked the spot he just licked with a sticky scaley finger. Sadi shuddered and threw up a little in her mouth.

(Deep down you're nothing, but a scared little girl who can't do anything for herself outside of her big brother's shadow. Now...where is Han? Is he around?...Why don't you call him and beg him to save you?) The hutt jeered. Sadi grimaced and tried futiley to pull away from him.

"I'm right here, Jabba!" Han's voice broke through the tension. Sadi opened her eyes and breathed with relief when she saw him standing by the dock entrance calmly staring the gangtster down as if meeting him for a drink. "Been looking for you actually."

Jabba loosened his grip on Sadi a little and let out an ugly chuckle. (Well have you now? I was just about to take your pretty little sister as payment for your debt, but it seems that could no longer be necessary.) He curled his tail again.

Han smirked slightly though he swallowed visibly in disgust. "No it's not. Put her down Jabba, before I take that tail of yours as my next prize." He stepped off into the main area of the hanger fingering his gun deliberately in a threatening manner.

Sadi gasped when the hutt suddenly released his grip entirely on her dropping her to the ground in a tangled heap. "Sadi, get back in the Falcon." Han ordered sharply without taking his eyes off of the hutt.

Sadi nodded her head. Scrambling to her feet, she ran up the ramp into the Falcon not slowing down until she plowed straight into Chewie inside the ship.

"Rrrrrrr?" The wookie growled in concern as he helped his friend up from the floor. "I'm fine Chewie." Sadi answered, appreciating her friend's concern as she tried to calm herself and clean her still slightly moist cheek. Ugh...

Chewbacca cocked his head to the side.

"Rrrrrrr...(You're not acting okay.)"

"It's fine. It could have been a whole lot worse anyway if Han hadn't come when he did."Sadi finished cleaning her face, then headed for the cockpit where she had a clear view of her brother and Jabba below.

(Ah, Han my boy, you disappoint me.) Jabba slithered up to the smuggler and Sadi settled back into the pilot's seat to watch and listen through the intercom speakers as they began to walk around the Falcon. (Why haven't you paid me yet? Why did you fry poor Greedo?)

Han scowled at the question. "Look Jabba, next time you want to talk, come see me yourself. Don't send one of these twerps. Besides I already told you Sadira's off limits." He pointed a finger threateningly in Jabba's face as a couple of the crime lord's guards drew near.

Sadi stiffened when she recognized one of them by his Mandolorian style armor. Boba Fett. The most dangerous and deranged bounty hunter the galaxy ever knew.

It was said he usually destroyed his victims beyond recognition before trading for profit regardless of whether or not his employers wanted them alive or dead.

(Han, I can't make exceptions.) Jabba shook his head as he slithered after the smuggler. (What if everyone who smuggled for me, dropped their cargo at the first sign of an Imperial Starship? It's not good business.) He sighed.

Han rolled his eyes. "Look Jabba, even I get boarded sometimes." He snapped, walking around the hutt and stepping on his tail in the process. Jabba let out a yelp that both startled and amused Sadi a little.

"Do you think I had a choice?" Han continued. Despite situation, Sadi smirked at the pained look on Jabba's face as Chewie appeared beside her to check the cockpit controls. "But I've got a nice easy charter now. I'll pay you back, plus a little extra. I just need a little more time." Han pleaded.

Jabba grinned and chortled slimily. (Han, my boy. You're the best. So for an extra twenty percent-.) "Fifteen Jabba! Don't push it." Han interjected. (Fifteen then.) Jabba agreed.

(But if you fail me again, I'll put a price on your head so big, you and that ravishing sister of yours won't ever be able to go near any civilized system.) He threatened.

Han stiffened a bit then grinned as he started to head up the landing ramp. "Jabba, you're a wonderful human being." He muttered sarcastically in a seemingly appreciative tone. Jabba snorted then motioned to his followers with a fat slug like hand. (Let's go!).

Han watched them go until he was sure they weren't coming back. Then he ran the rest of the way up the ramp into the Falcon, about to yell for Sadi when he almost ran into her just inside the door.

"Nice work out there." Sadi wiggled her eyebrows playfully while carelessly twirling the chain of her necklace around between her fingers.

Han sighed then smirked. "Thanks. You mean when I got his tail?" He asked. "I wanted to fry him, but there were too many guards." He shrugged.

Sadi turned and followed him back into the ship. "He sounded like a dying bantha." She laughed.

Han laughed with her and opened a compartment inside the ship. "Yeah well he deserves worse. Nobody gets away clean after touching MY little sister." He snapped, grabbing a pair of work gloves from the compartment.

Sadi lingered next to him.

"Well what if the next person who messes with me doesn't have a tail?" She asked, shuffling her feet a little. Han shrugged one shoulder and grabbed some polishing rags from a shelf.

"Then I'll fry em. Like I did Greedo in the Cantina. Hand me the tool kit over there, would you?" He motioned with his shoulder. Sadi nodded and reached on her tiptoes towards the shelf.

"Wait!..." She froze with her hand touching the tool box. "You fried Greedo in the Cantina? With everyone there watching?" She asked.

"Yeah. So what?" Han looked at her casually. Sadi bit her lip and pulled the tool box from the top shelf.

"You don't think that's going get us any unwanted attention? Greedo may not be Boba Fett, but he's still well known enough that any low life who saw what you did could easily-."

"Relax Mrs Drama Queen, I tipped the bartender well so there's nothing to worry about." Han held out his hand. Sadi handed him the tools he needed to run a quick check on the ship.

"If you say so." She wrinkled her nose uncertainly. Han just leaned against the wall and stashed the tools in his vest before pulling his gloves on.

"Trust me. Just get back to the cockpit and help Chewie double check all our take off procedures from the cockpit. Our passengers should be arriving any second now and the sooner we're ready for take off the better." The smuggler ordered turning to head out back down the landing ramp.

Sadi lingered at the top of the ramp. "Passengers? What passengers?" She asked. Han stopped just at the entrance to the ramp.

"Some old man and a farm boy. They want to get some droids over to the Aldaraan system and they're going to pay us seventeen thousand to do it." Han turned and shot his sister with his trademark winning grin.

"You'd like him. The Farm boy I mean. You'd probably think he's...cute or something mushy." He joked.

Sadi rolled her eyes. "Oh sure. Whatever you..." She started then stopped when the rest of what Han said hit her like a load of titanium bricks.

"Wait did you say Seventeen THOUSAND?! That's enough to get us a few new replacement parts for the Falcon after we pay Jabba!" She gasped.

Han chuckled. "Yeah and maybe I can even spare a little to get you a new shirt. That thing's got Jabba's stink on it now, doesn't it?" He asked sarcastically.

Sadi grimaced. "Ugh thanks for reminding me." She shuddered and turned to head back to the cockpit. At that moment the smile fell from Han's face.

"Hey Sadi!" He called after her. Sadi stopped just before she could round the corner.

"Seriously though, are you okay?" He asked all joking and sarcasm gone from his tone and expression as he looked at her in concern.

Sadi nodded her head. "Yeah. I'll be fine." She smiled as reassuringly as possible. "Like I said I know you'll never let them get me." She half grinned then left the main entryway of the ship.

Han sighed and lost his smile. "Whatever Kid. Tell Chewie to check the hyperdrive again. We don't need it to stall during take off." He pulled his last glove on then headed off down the ramp.

Now that Sadi was safe it was time to make sure his other baby was all right. Lord knows what else Jabba and those thugs did while he was at the Cantina.
