Excerpt:

Nat took a long drink of his water and watched Maze and Essie; Maze was a good man but there was something different about him and he couldn't put his finger on it. Essie laughed. She had never laughed much before, it was good to hear and see. Maze came across as a grumpy so and so, until he got to know you. Nat followed him to the changing rooms after he swung Del around making him giggle. He was good for the youngling too.

"Good workout?"

"Yeah, not bad." Maze pulled off his top.

"Nasty scar. New?" Nat nodded to the slightly red, healing, puckered scar on his chest. He didn't have many, so it was noticeable.

"A skirmish on the lower levels."

"Need to know basis?"

Maze thought for a minute, bearing in mind Nat's history.

"Slavers targeting clones. We got them."

Nat's hand went to his shoulder.

"Schutta! Anytime you need help. Let me know. You're part of this family now."

"Thanks Nat…."

"Did they get any?"

"No. They were targeting the 501st, a bit out of their reach if you ask me." Maze smiled at the thought of anyone trying to get to them, notwithstanding Rex and Skywalker. "But we've checked and they're all accounted for. He'd spoken to Rex personally, his ears still ringing from the curses Rex used. Very inventive. Just showed how many planets he had visited.

Chapter Three.

Essie looked around the dumpster and there was no sign of him.

"You sure this was the place?" Maze asked, knowing it was. His helmet moved around, steadily. He was scanning the area. "Looks like there's been a bit of a scuffle here, fresh marks." He added, then set off down the small street off the main one.

Then they heard the sounds of a street fight. Maze jogged on ahead, stopping at an alley.

"Oi! Leave him alone!" He headed in.

Seconds later, Maze came out of the alley, pushed backwards by an Aqualish, shouldering him in the stomach.

Essie turned into the alley, she couldn't do anything to help Maze yet, and she was certain he could take care of himself, but she could still hear scuffling and found a Weequay and a human taking it in turns to have a go at the clone that had been begging.

Excerpt:

Coco District

Galactic City.

Coruscant

Nat stood waiting, the lights of Coruscant illuminating everywhere, it was business as usual, despite the war being raged. There was no night in Coruscant. Finally he saw the unmarked trooper striding along the walkways towards him.

Troopers wandering around Coruscant were a common sight now.

"Maze." Nat held out his hand, "This way!" He propelled him into a diner, just ahead of them. It appears empty to the pair but a waitress droid was rolling around wiping the counters. The floor still looked damp from being mopped.

Nat pushed Maze into a booth, as Dexter Jettster's voice rang out from behind the counter.

"Nat and a friend!"

The kitchen's double doors flew open as Dex squeezed through, indeterminate blotches and stains on his shirt as his upper left hand draped a towel over his shoulder and his lower left hand pushed the doors apart.

"Good to see you Nat but it's the wrong night. You're early. Game night is tomorrow. Sol working you too hard?" he asked, as he squeezed himself in a seat opposite.

"You know Sol." Nat shrugged, "This is Maze. Maze —meet Dexter Jettster."

"A clone eh?" The Besalisk studied him closely, before sending out a hand to shake his.
