Rickard kicked up some dust while walking down the street. Only one thought was on his mind: Kobayashi. Who was he? Who did he work for? Why did he want the star charts? Questions that couldn't be answered right now. He had had the duros killed last night, he reminded himself. It is just punishment, fucking thieves. He was so deep in thought he almost ran into a man. "I'm sorry good sir!" The man turned around, and he saw he had a blaster rifle. Oh shit. This can't be good, I'm gonna die. Suprisingly though, he saluted, and went on saying, "Sir, the building is secure. Everyone that was inside has been corralled over there, and the bomb team is searching the building." It was just a Czerka soldier. Thank goodness. "Good work soldier. Now keep guarding the office, I have to talk with my associates over there. As he walked over to where everyone in the office had been corralled, he saw two faces: Tar and Cameleus.
Rickard panicked. Probably one of the few times he ever had. There was former Captain Tar and his possible bodyguard Cameleus. And they were standing next to each other. There were 10 soldiers guarding the people from the office, but they looked either distracted or weren't paying attention to Tar. Finally, after several seconds of fear, Rickard yelled to them "Take their guns! Both of those mens guns! Take them now!" He pointed furiously at Tar and Cameleus. "Imbeciles! Idiots! Why didn't you take their guns! Get to it or I will have all 10 of you killed!"
Tar looks up and see Rickard "Ah Rickard how are you may I speak to you privately it something important."
"Rickard if its alright with you I'll keep the gun thank you very much now I need to speak to you.' Tar Walks to Rickard Drags's him into a alley waiting to see what Rickard would do.
Rickard, still in a fit of anger, yelled at Tar. "Put down your weapon you scum, or my soldiers will beat and kill you!" He motioned for the 10 soldiers guarding the people from the office to get Tar. "Now Cameleus, will you please walk over to the soldier over there," pointing at a random soldier who was guarding the door, "and submit yourself to being searched. Now."
Tar drop's his gun "Hey why we're still friends however we should move somewhere safe you are a priority target how about your office?"
"Tar, you will be taken inside the office, escorted by these 5 gentlemen," referring to the soldiers surrounding him, "and they will put you in holding chamber. If you do not submit, then they will be forced to shoot you in the leg. Understood Cameleus, and your chances of being a bodyguard are higher if you do not associate with this scum." He was pointing at Tar.
"Look, we were just chatting and he was complaining about his discharge, nothing else." Cameleus stares at Tar
Rickard glares at both Tar and Cameleus. Cameleus was lying, and there was more to this. "You there," pointing at the soldier searching Cameleus, as well as 4 others nearby, "he will also be put in a holding cell, but not the same as Tar's though. Cameleus, submit yourself or you will be killed."
Tar Walk's over to rickard and whisper's "Rickard if you continue to help Terrick then the rebel's will kill you on sight I of course could help if you made me a associate and stop dealing with terrick and instead help the rebel's as you know thay are planing something and the empire will not hold." Tar back's up and goes with the guards
