Initial Plans

I knew Anakin was there before he even entered the bar. Not wanting to attract any attention I remained where I was and let him approach me.

Anakin eyed the ragged, dank cantina as he walked through the door before he recognized me.
He walked up to the bar and leaned on the top. "Nice place you've found,” he muttered. “You look like poodoo warmed over.”

I looked his way. "If I had known it was you I would have cleaned up." I replied managing a loft sided grin. "About time you got here."

"Well, you know how it goes. I had to smell my way around the undercity," Anakin said, gazing over.

"Glad you found me." I motioned for me to sit down. "We are dealing with quite the mess and our plan has to be aggressive but sensitive as well."

He slid down on the stool, which was ready to break as it were. "Aggressive works. Any idea where Adana and the others are?”

"I could sense Adana for a while but lost her. Force only knows what Octavia and Marusi have done to her. They are capable of anything." I couldn't help but stare. "We have to be fast if we want to see her alive. Octavia will not let her go like she did with me... And then there are three younglings who have gone missing as well. Master Windu informed me that he had sent Adana to find them."

He nodded, remembering. "Alright. We need a plan." His eyebrow shot up. "I don't always jump in saber blazing, master."

"I know that, my friend. You are better than that."

Anankin looked thoughtful for a moment. "Do you have an idea where Octavia has them?"

"There is an abandoned ware house about a click kilometer or so away from here." I opened the holo map for him to see.

Anakin gazed over the holomap. "Heavily guarded too. Two ways in, that we can see. I bet there is third." I pointed down. "Underground and I bet it’s less guarded. They wouldn't think we would know about it or try that way." I pointed to a few locations on the map.

"The only safe way is through the sewage system." A smirk crossed his face. "Brings back memories, doesn't it,” I muttered.

Anakin smiled. "I can hold my nose if you can."

"No problems here." I closed the holo. "Once we are inside we need to find the chamber with the younglings first. I don't even want to imagine what he might have done to them."

Eyes narrowed Anankin growled. "We need to figure out where to hide them while we get Adana. If we send them down the sewer they will have to keep going, and might get lost. and its going to take both us to gat Adana."

"I know. There has to be a way to hide them for the time being."

He thought it over and reached in his pack. "I have an idea." Anakin pulled out a small beacon. "This a cloned beacon of the one I keep on me. If we give this to the younglings and tell them to run, I can track them after we get out. No matter where they are." I could see from the look in his face not to ask any questions regarding the beacon.

Ignoring the possible origin of this item I said: "It is brilliant. This way we can assure their safety why trying to free Adana.”
