CHAPTER ELEVEN

He was grateful, at least, for the food. Anakin had considered rejecting the plate of vegetable turnovers with harima sauce, but what good would that do? He'd finished the plate and downed a carafe of water when suddenly Granta Omega strode out of his private room and the hideout exploded in movement.

He couldn't hear the orders Omega rapped out but suddenly everyone was busy. Computers were shut down. Bins were closed and locked. Weapons were gathered. Gravsleds appeared and gang members began loading them.

Obi-Wan, Anakin thought. He smiled.

Within minutes, the substation was cleared.

Still cuffed, Anakin was hustled into a speeder with the same lmbat guard. He zoomed down the tunnel at a fast clip. Anakin kept his mind focused so he could remember the many turns.

At last they arrived at their destination, a smaller space that had once been a refueling center. Anakin was tossed out of the speeder by the Imbat, but this time he was able to land on his feet. He watched while

the gang members busily began to set up the hideout again. He could see

that they had done this many times.

Granta Omega strode toward him, his boot heels clicking on the floor. He looked grim. “It's time to contact Yaddle.”

“As long as I can tell her who you are and I can speak freely.” He had nothing to lose by contacting Yaddle. He had complete confidence that she'd be able to handle Granta Omega. And Yaddle would be able to tell

Obi-Wan that he was still alive.

Omega waved a hand. “Of course. I'm not trying to trick you, Anakin. I'm a businessman. I want to make a deal.”

“I'll need my comlink.” Omega tossed it to him.

“As long as I have it, I'd like to contact my Master, too,” Anakin said. It was worth a try.

“Do you think he's worried about you?” Omega barked a laugh. "What you don't know about your Master could fill your precious archives.

Kenobi doesn't have a heart. Beings are just a means to get what he needs

to be - the great Jedi in his own mind."

Anakin suddenly grasped a feeling that had floated in his mind, something he could not put words to. Now it formed into a belief.

“This is personal for you, isn't it?” he accused Omega. "You hate

Obi- Wan."

Omega flushed. "No calls to your Master. I deal with Yaddle only. I

only have so much hospitality to offer."

Anakin contacted Yaddle. There was nothing else to do. He quickly explained that Striker was actually Granta Omega, and that he was his prisoner, which was hard to get out. He still felt ashamed that he had allowed himself to be captured.

“Omega has requested a meeting,” he finished. “He will only meet with you.”

“Hold you hostage, he did not need to do,” Yaddle said. “Talk to him, I would have done, if he had asked.”

"I guess he feels he needs some insurance that you will come

alone,“ Anakin said. ”He's afraid that if he sets up a meeting he will be betrayed. "

“I'm not afraid,” Omega hissed to Anakin.
