Random part from We Must Carry On
Night had almost fully covered Kaas City, by the time she made it back. Keeper seemed to sense she needed a break as he gave her one of intelligenceâs apartments in the city and sent her and Kaliyo off to sleep while the Watchers sorted through all the data theyâd collected and prepare the next steps of the operation. Sure, a terrorist attack didnât give much room for downtime. That made it all the more important that they rest.Â
Sheâd managed to hold herself together all day. Thereâd be consequences if anyone found out what had happened and they wouldnât fall on Jadus. In the Empire, the Sith were gods and the Dark Council members more then the rest. To defy them was death. If they did something, it became legal because they were the ones who did it, if only legal for them. To report them for anything at all was defiance of the Empires gods. It was not done if you wanted to survive, if you wanted them not to hurt you or destroy your life and retaliate against your family. At least her people merely banished the family for an offense against the ruling families. The Sith were worse. There was nothing she could do against Jadus and any attempt would make everything so much worse. So she kept her tears pushed away. She hid everything she could. She survived the day.Â
It wasnât until they were clear of the building and approaching the apartment that she stopped Kaliyo. âListen, I know sentiment and personal favors arenât part of your job. But I need you to go get someone and bring her back to the apartment.â
âHmm girls, agent? Didnât think you were the type. Not in the mood to see things though.â
âNo Kaliyo itâs not like that. Itâs⌠Sheâs my older sister. And the place has two rooms. Please⌠I just⌠I just need to talk with my sister and I canât call her.â
âYa know, I donât think I want to know. You imperial types are just freaky.â
âIâll owe you one.â
The Rattataki sighed and rolled her eyes. âFine. Only because youâre half decent with that blaster and I might find that useful.â
Izutsa sighed. âThank you. You need to go to the Chiss Embassy over by the administrative complex and find Ciskiâitoasaâremmeth. Sheâs an assistant ambassador attached to the Aristocra. Just tell her I need her. Tell her âK'tusah bah vamciâ. Itâs an old code phrase. Sheâll come. Lead her back or just tell her where weâre staying. I donât care. I just need to see her before we have to go back in.â
Kaliyo shrugged and headed out. Izutsa had pointed out parts of the city as theyâd traveled and Kaliyo had ID chits identifying her as an intelligence contractor. Sheâd be fine.
