Taves and Zen had finally arrived on Tatooine. Unfortunately once they had landed Taves had run into a detail of stormtroopers and was forced to break off from Zen and Lamaya. He ran through a crowd of civilians as the stormtroopers pursued. "Excuse me, pardon me" out of the corner of his eye he saw a man fueling up a speederbike. It wasn't in Taves nature to steal, but these were desperate times, desperate measures were necessary. He pushed the man aside and fired up the bike. Before the stormtroopers were able to open fire, Taves sped off into the distance.
Zen could not see Taves any where, he had lost his storm troopers quite quickly, Where in the force is he, Zen thought.
Suddenly he heard blaster shots, looking down the long street he could see some one on a speeder bike, It had to be Taves.
"Sith Spit" Zen said to himself.
Zen could not see Lamaya either, all three of them had been separated, they would have to be extra careful.
As He turned he pulled up his hood and turned into a junk shop, Lamaya had told them that the Negotiator took refuge in the dune sea, but the dune sea was massive, taking a considerable part of the planet, though if he could get out there and find Taves, Hopefully Lamaya too he would be okay.
A Dug seemed to be the owner, Zen knew all about Dugs, horrid aliens who had a nack for treating others like dirt.
The Dug noticed Zen and approached, "Ahhh Hello, welcome to my shop, I am Saribiss, what may i help you with?". Looking around at the prices already marked on items he knew this could be difficult.
"I need a speeder, cheap and easy". He looked around, there wasn't much to mach the description.
The smile of the dug turned into a frown, "WE DON'T DO CHEAP HERE!" It growled, not since the Imperials began to charge more tax than that poo-doo Jabba!".
Zen waved his hand, "I need to borrow a speeder".
"You need to borrow a speeder". The Dug said, looking dazed.
"The V-35 will be sufficient". He smiled a little.
"The V-35 will be sufficient" The dug said, before walking over to it and releasing a clamp of some sort.
"Excellent" Zen said, he threw 100 credits to the Dug, it was no where near enough, but it was all he could afford, Hopefully if Zen had done it properly, the mind trick would make him forget Zen was there.
As the Dug stood dazed, zen had little time to get away, he pulled up his hood, while climbing into the speeder, as he activated he spotted the door for the speeder, it was straight ahead, but he had to open it.
With no time to lose he put out an arm, reaching out with the force to push the door up, placing one hand on the controls of the speeder he started it up and turned to face the door.
Just as the door came to enough space for him to get out the Dug snapped out of his daze, looking down at the credit chip it looked back up, growling something Zen did not understand, he punched the controls and flew out from the door.
Luckily the V-35 series had blacked out windows, so his face had not been seen.
Speeding into the desert he spoke to himself, "I'll find you both... soon, May the force be with you".
