Leia had been hanging out the side of the speeder bus for what seemed like hours, and her eyes were aching with the task of staring continuously at the gravelly tunnel rolling by beneath them, when her comlink suddenly signaled.
âHan, stop,â she ordered, pulling herself back into the bus and setting down her glow rod.
Typically, infuriatingly, he ignored her, if anything picking up his speed a little. Sending a useless glare at the side of his head, Leia pulled out her comlink and thumbed it on. âYes; Leia.â
âFinally,â Crackenâs voice growled. âWhere have you been?â
âI donât even know where we are now, let alone where weâve been,â Leia admitted. âAt least weâre close enough to civilization to get a comlink relay. Han, can we at least stop long enough to figure out where we are?â
âNot a good idea.â Han grunted, pointing back over his shoulder. âWeâve got company.â
Leia turned to look. In the distance behind them were a set of distant headlights. Several sets, actually. âHow long have they been there?â she asked.
âMaybe three minutes,â Han told her. âThey came out of a couple of the cross-tunnels at that last big intersection.â
âYou think theyâre after us?â
âYou seen any other traffic around here?â he countered.
Leia grimaced. âNot since we left.â
âLeia?â Cracken called.
âWeâve picked up some tails,â Leia told him grimly. âAt least three landspeeders, maybe more behind them.â
âAnd youâre in what?â
âA speeder bus,â Leia said. âAn old one, too. Once they figure out itâs us, weâre not going to be able to outrun them.â
âThey have to spot us first,â Han said. âThis far ahead of them, with no lights showing, they might not realize weâre here.â
âYou get all that?â Leia asked into her comlink.
âEnough of it,â Cracken said. âYou said you just passed an intersection. Any idea which one it was?â
âI wasnât looking in that direction,â Leia said. âHan? Did you get a number on that intersection?â
âThe biggest of the tunnels was labeled AF-two-two-seven-five,â Han said. âI didnât catch the others.â
âWe just passed AF-two-two-seven-five,â Leia told Cracken. âBut I donât know which one weâre in rightââ
âThereâs another tunnel coming up,â Han interrupted, pointing ahead.
Leia peered out the windscreen, tensing. The tunnel markers at each of the intersections were small, and if they shot past it with their headlights still off they probably wouldnât be able to read it.
But if they turned the lights on now, the landspeeders behind them would instantly spot them.
It was a gamble. But she and Han had no choice but to take it. Reaching to the console, she flipped on the lights.
âNo!â Han barked, lunging toward the switch.
Leia batted his hand aside, her squinting eyes on the blaze of light in front of them. The tunnel marker flashed pastââRK-oh-one-four-oh,â she called into the comlink, reaching for the light control.
And winced as Hanâs hand closed around hers. âDonât bother,â he said, pushing her hand aside. âIf they didnât already know we were here, they do now. Might as well have the light.â
âSorry,â she said, pulling her hand free of his grip.
