“I do not understand, Zak. What would the monks have to gain by doing more brain transfers? And why would they do them on anyone but other monks?” “I don’t know,” Zak replied, “but I’m telling you, something’s wrong here.” The Shi’ido nodded. “I think you’re right, Zak. Come on.” Hoole returned to the B’omarr tunnels with Zak, and together they searched for Tash. They searched in the hallways, they searched in the tea room, they even found a small library but there was no sign of Tash. Once in a while, a brown-robed monk would wander by.

Hoole would stop the monk and ask if he had seen a young human girl. But each time, the monk merely stared at Hoole for a moment, then walked on without saying a word. “Friendly bunch,” Zak sighed. “Let’s continue,” Hoole said. They looked for nearly an hour, but there was no sign of Tash.

Finally, just as they were about to give up, another monk approached. Zak decided to try once more.

“Excuse me,” he said, “but have you seen Oh, Beidlo, it’s you!” Beidlo blinked as though he’d been daydreaming. “Huh? Oh, yes, it’s me. What can I do for you?” “What can y-you… ?” Zak stammered. “I warned Uncle Hoole, just like you wanted. Now we’re looking for Tash.” Beidlo looked confused and seemed annoyed. “What are you talking about?” “You know what I’m talking about,” Zak exclaimed.

“The brain transfers! An hour ago, you were terrified that everyone was going to die.” “Oh, yes, that.

Don’t worry about it. I think I was wrong.” “Excuse me, young man,” Hoole interjected. “Are you saying that there is nothing out of the ordinary going on here?” “Yes, that’s what I’m saying,” Beidlo said. “Now ex-cuse me, I’ve got… things to do.” Beidlo pushed past them and hurried along the tunnel. Hoole cast a scolding glance at Zak. “Uncle Hoole, I ” “I don’t blame you, Zak,” Hoole interrupted. “Jabba’s palace can be quite confusing. But you must understand, this isn’t like any other place you’ve been. Strangeness and danger are normal here.” Zak didn’t argue… but he didn’t agree, either. Beidlo had been terrified only a short time ago. Now he hardly seemed to remember the conversation. “I’m not suggesting you did anything wrong, Zak,” Hoole said as they returned to their chambers. “It is simply that this place is too full of intrigue for someone your age. That’s not your fault it is just a question of experience. You will be much safer if you stay near me.” Hoole reached his own room and pointed to Zak’s quarters next door.

“I promise you,” he said, “that as long as you stay near your room, nothing bad will happen.” “Yes, Uncle Hoole,” Zak said sullenly. He walked into his room. And found Tash hanging upside down from the ceiling like a piece of meat on a hook.

“Tash!” he yelled at the top of his lungs. “What!” she screamed back. Her eyes flew open and she plummeted headlong toward the floor, where she landed with a heavy thud.
