I was walking down to level 1315 to see if Ventress was still there. I knew that she wouldn't be; she would be long gone as she was disarmed and vulnerable. But it was my only hope that she would still be there.

I kept walking through the alley, trying to sense her presence. But I was getting no where. I was right, she was long gone. I thought that maybe she ould be at the factory that she brought me t, when I was looking for the real culprit who bombed the Jedi Temple.

As I was walking down to the factory, I passed a night club with ripped posters on the outside walls. I heard banging music, and then sensed something. A disturbance in the Force... Ventress. She must be in the night club searching for work or drinking away her misfortune.

So I changed my direction towards the door of the night club, there was two people on the right; a Rodian man and a Twi'lek woman, and a Ithorian on the left.

When I walked into the night club I stopped on a platform. It was dark and coloured lights flashed. The music was loud and I could barely can hear myself think. I walked down the steps and towards the bar.

"Hey, have you seen a bold, skinny woman, who dresses as a bounty hunter, around here ?", I asked the Ithorian behind the bar.

He had a translator machine attached to his mouth. "And why should I tell you ?" he asked.

"Because I'm looking for someone to do a job and I hear she is the best in the business" I replied. We stared at each other holding our ground. "And I don't think she will like it if she misses out on a job," I continued on.

"Through the back, second door on your left," he said.

"Thank you", I said sarcastically and turned around heading through the crowd into the back hall.

The door slid open and I walked in looking left until I came to the second door. I pressed the open button on the control pad on the right-hand side of the door. I stood out side and looked in, the room was dark and I couldn't see very well.

"Ventress!" I called out. I started to walk in slowly and carefully, not knowing what was inside. "Ventress, you there ?".

Suddenly a dark shape jumped from the the top of the door behind me. I was knocked off my feet. The figure and I struggled and while I was trying to get back on my feet she tried to pin me down to the ground. I kicked the figure's stomach pushing her back and I back flipped, landing on my feet in the darkness where the figure couldn't see me.

"Stand down," I said, warning the figure off.

"I stand down when I know what business brings you here," the figure stated in a rusty voice.
