"Take this!" Han's blaster whistled across the floor as it slid over to you, Han popped his head up, giving you just enough of a gap to take three of the ever-growing swarm of Stormtroopers out. "Any idea how we're gonna get out of here? The way I see it, we've got a small invasion force's worth of Troopers that way, and the emptiness of space that way."

"Was it really that important to get the cargo back?" You asked, scanning around the enclosed alleyway hoping to find something, anything that would help you to escape. The only thing that surrounded you though was cold walls, blasters, and the vastness of space separated only by a thick window.

"When you have clients like mine, you don't want to keep them waiting and you definitely don't want to lose their cargo. Do you want to live the rest of your life in hiding?" The troopers pressed forwards towards your position, you managed to drop another two, but they were quickly replaced by four more. "So, I'm going to ask you again and if you don't have something constructive to say, I'd rather you just kept quiet. Do you have any idea how we might escape from this?"

"We could go that way." Han laughed and called you completely crazy as you pointed out to the void behind you. "Do you still have that grenade or did you use it?" Han ran his hands through his plethora of pockets with wide eyes, finally he fumbled through a deep cavity in his vest and pulled out a small stick grenade. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" With a scared but excited smile on his face, Han set the grenade and wrapped his arm tightly across a sturdy pipe on the wall. "Hold on!" The grenade flew backwards and on contact with the large window detonated, it was only a small explosion, but it was big enough to shatter the glass.

It was quieter than you expected but quickly the Stormtroopers flew from their formation and into the nothingness, yours and Han's legs flew in the air as you held on tightly.

"Hey!" Han shouted as the last of the troopers lost their grip and flew past you. "How are we supposed to get out?"

"They'll sort something out eventually so somebody can come and check out what's going on. I guess for now, we just hold on."
