Obi-Wan shut down his transmitter. Take Jango Fett into custody. Right. He looked out at the torrents of rain pouring down just outside the protective canopy of his ship, and sighed. Then he pulled up his hood and opened the ship. Quietly, he slipped back into Tipoca City.

The Force let him sense and avoid the various people in the corridors, and he reached Jango Fett’s apartment without incident. To his surprise, the door slid open at his touch, and he knew at once what he would find inside. The rooms were no longer neat and well organized. Empty drawers hung open, and the few personal items had vanished. I knew he was ready to leave fast, but I didn’t realize he could leave this fast!

They couldn’t have been gone long; it hadn’t been that long since Obi-Wan had left them. He checked the wall computer and quickly tracked down the landing platform where Fett kept his ship. Slave I—what an appropriate name for a bounty hunter’s ship, he thought when he read the platform listings. The ship was still there. Obi-Wan took just enough time to call up a map and find the shortest route to the platform. Then he left the apartment at a run.

The two Fetts were still loading their ship when he arrived. Jango was handing crates up to Boba. In his silver-gold body armor and jetpack, he was clearly the same man who had killed the assassin outside the nightclub. He had his back to the door, and Obi-Wan charged forward into the rain, hoping to surprise him. But the boy saw him coming and shouted, “Dad!”

Jango Fett drew his blaster as he turned. Obi-Wan pulled out his lightsaber just in time to deflect the blast. By then, he was almost on top of Fett, and he swung the lightsaber.

“Boba, get on board!” Jango shouted, and triggered his rockets. He shot up into the air, avoiding Obi-Wan’s blow.

Obi-Wan spun as Jango flew over his head and landed behind him. The bounty hunter circled, firing toxic darts. Obi-Wan deflected them with the lightsaber. Though he aimed them back at Jango, the bounty hunter avoided most of them, and the rest bounced harmlessly off his armor.

Suddenly, the bounty hunter shot into the air again and hovered out of reach. An instant later, a laser shell whizzed past Obi-Wan and blew a chunk out of the landing tower. The explosion threw Obi-Wan to the ground, knocking his lightsaber out of his hand. The boy in the ship—he’s firing at me! So was Jango Fett, but Obi-Wan could deflect those shots with his lightsaber. That is, he could deflect them if he had his lightsaber.

Jango Fett landed just in front of him. Obi-Wan charged forward and grabbed him. As long as we’re close together, Boba can’t fire without hitting his father. But Jango used his rockets again, then kicked Obi-Wan loose in midair. Obi-Wan fell heavily and skidded across the smooth, wet surface, grabbing desperately for a handhold.

Just when he thought he had one, something flashed down and wrapped his wrists.
