CHAPTER 10

“You are behind this!” Taroon shouted at Drenna. “You did this! I’m supposed to think he’s kidnapped, and you’re hiding him.”

“Your father did this, you fool!” Drenna shouted back. “You only pretended to go along with Leed’s decision!”

“That makes no sense at all,” Taroon said scornfully. “Leed was headed back to Rutan. Why would my father kidnap him?”

“Because it was too late to change the plan. I don’t know! All I know is that Leed is gone.” Drenna suddenly slumped on the deck. She did not weep, but she rubbed her hands up and down her arms compulsively. “My brother is gone.”

Was Drenna’s emotion genuine? Obi-Wan looked at Qui-Gon for a clue.

He found himself adrift on this mission in more ways than one. He was not sure what anyone was feeling. He was not sure if anyone was telling the truth. But he was sorry to see that the truce between Drenna and Taroon had ended. Now they hated each other more than ever.

Qui-Gon crouched by Drenna’s side. “He was kidnapped by Senalis, Drenna,” he said gently. “He won’t be harmed.”

“How can you know this for sure?” she whispered. “What if Rutanians took him back to their planet? What if he gets thrown in jail?”

“I don’t know anything for sure,” Qui-Gon admitted. “But I do feel that Leed is safe, for the moment. The question is, why would Senalis kidnap him?”

“I don’t know,” Drenna said, shaking her head. “Leed’s decision has split many Senalis. Most believe he should remain, if he wishes. But there are some who do not want a Rutanian to live permanently on the planet.”

“We must contact my father at once,” Taroon insisted. “He must know that Leed has been taken.”
