Maul walked to the meeting table. He'd been summoned by Tarkin and was feeling curious why. He saw the Empire Pack standing beside Tarkin, and one of his ears flicked with inquisitiveness.

"You called for me Tarkin?" He asked with a bow.

"Yes, Maul come here" the alpha told him and the Sith obeyed.

He stood opposite his master and sat down.

"Maul, Vader has come with news concerning Jarrus and a Force sensitive cub."

"Jarrus? Your brother?"

"My enemy" Vader corrected him sharply. 

If looks could kill, Vader would've murdered Maul.

"My apologies Vader" Maul said then turned back to Tarkin.

"What about Jarrus?"

"He's dead."

Maul blinked in surprise.

"Dead?" He repeated.

"Yes. The Force sensitive cub killed him, and that's why you're here. The youngling is with the Ghost Pack and is vulnerable to the Dark side. I want you to go and kidnap him."

"You said a few times you wanted an apprentice Vader" Maul told the Sith.

"That I did. This cub will do fine."

"Where is the Ghost Pack?"

"Blade tracked them when he was realesed from their prison then returned to base. They're at a place called the Lothcats Hideaway. I want you to ambush them, take Falcon with you. Use him as a distraction for the other dragons before swooping in and taking the cub."

"Am I allowed to kill anyone who tries to stop me?" Maul asked.

Tarkin nodded.

"The more deaths distributed in that pack, the more their hope shrinks and the more weaker they become. Now go."

Maul nodded and turned round. Taking off, he headed to the training grounds to get Falcon.

"Will Maul be successful?" Tua asked.

"He's never failed me, Falcon has once" Tarkin told her.

"The scar across his face was his punishment."

"You torture your pack for failure?" Tua inquired in disbelief.

"It's the only way they'll learn not to be unsuccessful."

Tua lay her ears back in fear and discomfort.

How dangerous was Tarkin?
