Why hadn’t she taken the opportunity to leave? She had excellent reasons to go. Salju would have finished with the Meridian by then. The parcel was at Dok’s. Delta Jeet might be looking for her still. Then there was her word to Ana Tolla that they’d stay out of each other’s way. She’d just discovered a truth about her mother’s past she wasn’t certain how to deal with. She hadn’t rested or had time to think. But she had found one reason to stay, even if it was for just a little while longer. She wasn’t ready to say good-bye to Jules.

The added bonus was that she might make a good impression on Dok-Ondar in case she found herself coming back to Batuu.…He looked exactly as he had the one time she saw him as a girl, and she wondered what an Ithorian’s life span was. For a moment, she wanted to ask him if he’d also known her mother. But she closed herself to that possibility. There was no time for the complicated feelings that would bring. What good would it do? She couldn’t talk to her dead parents about it.

Back in the front of the shop, Dok retrieved a datapad. It was an old model that had been modified from other parts. Everything could be used again on Batuu. Izzy and Jules flanked him to look. Dok had also marked that place on his canvas map. He tapped coordinates on the glowing screen and warbled more information.

“The drop is here at suns-set?” Jules translated, as if he wasn’t sure he’d heard right. “There’s nothing there. Not even farms. There’s only a bunch of rocks.”

Dok scoffed a reply.

“I know rocks are not nothing. I mean, why can’t they come to the Outpost?”

Izzy shrugged. “Maybe they don’t have a transport or their speeder is stalled. You know what that’s like.”

He balked at her teasing, and Dok chortled but didn’t speak again.

As they prepared to leave, Izzy considered where they were going. A suns-set drop-off for some hermit living in a cave somewhere on the outskirts of Batuu? Her gut told her there was more to Dok’s client. There had to be. She no longer knew the typical machinations of life at Black Spire, but as she went over the day’s events, there was one major difference from when she was a child, and that was the presence of the First Order. Why recruit on a planet that was only a refueling stop for most and a place to hide for others? Though clearly the assistant Calin and others had been taken in. Still, she couldn’t help thinking that perhaps the real reason the First Order was on Batuu was because the Resistance was, too.

Who was she that she should even care? An orphan. The daughter of a bounty hunter, apparently. Someone trying to get by. You don’t have a name.

She thought of Cookie’s bitter anger when he’d been serving them. Of Oga’s hurry to sniff out what might threaten her control over her small kingdom.
