“The children are asleep,” he whispered. “We should be sleeping as well.

We’ll need all our rest for tomorrow.” He put his hand on Obi-Wan’s forearm. “Cerasi told me you will join us. I’m honored.”

“It is my honor to help you,” Obi-Wan answered.

He settled himself on the floor next to Nield and Cerasi. He thought he wouldn’t be able to sleep, but the children’s quiet breathing lulled him.

It was hard to tell what time it was when he awoke. Cerasi rose from her sleeping area and leaned over Nield to touch his shoulder. Nield was already awake and stood immediately.

Obi-Wan stood as well. He was ready. He was acting not as a Jedi, but as a person - a friend. He grabbed his lightsaber and the slingshot Cerasi had given him the night before. There was an entrance from the anteroom directly into the tunnel toward Daan. Qui-Gon wouldn’t see him leave.

Obi-Wan knew he was wrong not to ask permission, but he wasn’t sure how angry Qui-Gon would be when he discovered he was gone. After all, Qui-Gon himself had offered to help with strategy for the battle.

Obi-Wan was glad he’d made the decision as he joined Nield and Cerasi on the deserted streets of the Daan-controlled Outer Circle. The three moved as one unit in the chilly early

morning air. They walked purposefully down the deserted streets, their soft footfalls barely making a sound. Nield and Cerasi had already decided on their first targets.

They shimmied up a pipe and climbed onto the roof of a dwelling.

From here, they could see the sun, more a suggestion of gathering light than a source of radiance.

“I hate to wake everybody up,” Nield said, flashing a grin.
