Bristow headed to an antient holo-net terminal. He pressed some buttons and suddenly a shadow appeared on-screen.

"What do you want?" Asked the shadow, it's voice disguised.

"I have something you may want. I found it on Corusant, it's an old weapon that's on your list."

The man stayed silent for a while then asked. "And what do you want in return?"

"I have someone who wants you to answer some questions about a certain item. The Sith Hunter's communicator."

The shadow seemed to consider this.

"Fine. Meet my at the same place we traded last time."

Suddenly the shadow disappeared.

"Forgive him, he's a little rude." Said Bristow. "Ah, well. This way."

He led them out of the shop, and into a hovercar. He drove that a few blocks until he reached a seedy-looking street.

"We need to walk from here."

"Fine," Riebe answered. The communicator was still in her left hand and now her right shifted slightly to feel the lightsaber on her right hip.

 

Back when the Emperor took over, Riebe had discarded her blue saber staff for the lightsabers of two Jedi Masters that were killed. The one she touched had once belonged to Master Mace Windu. She had sworn to wield these two sabers until the Masters were avenged. Though they had long since been avenged, Riebe retained their lightsabers, having lost hers entirely.

 

Long before that, her original saber had been lost to her when she faked her death. Though she thought there might be a chance of seeing the blue saber staff again, she often joked with herself about finding her first lightsaber. She was thoroughly convinced she would never see it again.

 

"Lovely place," she muttered as she followed Bristow along the street.

"He didn't learn easily." Replied Bristow. Then a small droid appeared, and scanned the area. It disappeared and a ship came in. It landed and the ramp came out. A figure dressed in armor and a helmet obscuring his face descended. He spoke to Riebe, the only figure he hadn't associated with Bristow and logically the one with the question.

"What do you want?"

Riebe allowed a sort of thin smile. "Did you kill him to get it?" she asked dryly. Then, she shook her head. "Don't answer that. The man once known by the Sith Hunters as Jokemaster... that is who I am asking about."

 

Though her face seemed calm and collected, her right hand was balled up into a fist, proving that she was rather agitated.

Another long silence. "Attractive place... Thank you."

 

She turned to leave and shook her head in amusement at the irony of her situation. First, she found herself in the pleasant place of waiting to see if the little group of people who knew of her could find her. Now, she found herself in a wild goose chase for a man she had seen die.

Riebe's right hand unclenched. She was beginning to settle down. "Thank you." Turning to Roma, she said, "Thank you for being such a good delivery man. I'll never forget this."

 

Then she turned to Bristow. "Thank you for sending Roma to me." She paused. "Just one question... how do you know who I am? And why send this to me?"
