" I can't believe you agreed to this," sighed Obi-Wan, shirtless, " Satine. Do you want all of us killed?" He stroked his beard as he paced around his and Satine's sleeping quarters.

" I know, Obi," replied Satine, lying in bed. Her blonde hair dangled above her shoulders, as she sat up. " I know, but do you want Palpatine to get suspicious? You know what he's like if a planet refuses to host the Imperial Gala."

" Fair enough, but Anakin, I mean, Darth Vader will be present, along with the 501st." said Obi-Wan, thinking of the twins and Padme. " He will sense her the minute he exits Hyperspace, as well as the twins.

"Those two shine like bonfires in the force. There will be no hiding them."

"What do you suggest we do?" asked Satine, looking slightly worried. " We can't just simply put them on a ship and send them to another planet. 

"They both know about the children." 

Obi-Wan Kenobi stopped pacing around in circles, " We need to call in that favour."

" No," Satine realised who her husband was talking about. "He nearly killed you."

"That was before he fought that chip stuck inside his brain, Satine." He looked at his wife, their eyes meeting. " I trust him with my life."

"Well I don't!" argued Satine, now out of bed and walking up to Obi-Wan, "The children and Padme need to be taken somewhere safe. Not with a traitor!"

"Satine!" Obi-Wan yelled back. "I don't this right now! I don't need us arguing!"

"Why not with Tano?" questioned Satine, calming down. " She can be trusted with their safety."

" Satine, she can't just appear out of thin air." responded Obi-Wan, recalling his discussion with Padme, "Non of my contacts have seen her for over a month now."

"Have you tried everything you can to reach her?" asked Satine, sitting down on the bed.

"No...Not everything." admitted Obi-Wan. " I haven't tried 2 people."

"Who are these people?" Satine gazed at her husband, desperately wanting to yell at him for not telling her everything.

"The favour and a Naboo Rebel." sighed Obi-Wan. " I'm only meant to contact them in an emergency."

"This is an emergency."  pointed out Satine.

Sighing, Obi-Wan pulled out a comlink from a concealed draw next to his side of the bed.

"This is Obi-Wan." He activated the comlink. "I need your help." 

"General...?" a voice questioned, anxiously.
