AFTER LEAVING the cantina, Mando walked back to the hangar bay, to the Razor Crest, and went aboard the vessel, making his way back to the compartment where heâd hidden the Child.
But the Child wasnât there.
Mando turned and ran down the shipâs ramp. âHey!â
Inside her office, Peli Motto jerked upright and raised her head, shouting, âIâm awake! Iâm awake!â
âWhere is he?â
âQuiet!â She came out, holding the Child and bouncing him in her arms, and glared at him. âYou woke it up! Do you have any idea how long it took me to get it to sleep?â
âGive him to me.â
Instead, Motto stood her ground and glared at him, with the Child clutched protectively in her arms. âNot so fast! You canât just leave a child all alone like that.â She scowled with disapproval and maternal instinct. âYou know, you have an awful lot to learn about raising a young one.â
The Mandalorian looked down at the Child, who had stopped crying and was gazing up at Motto, babbling contentedly in her arms.
âAnyway,â Motto went on, âI started the repair on the fuel leak. I had a couple setbacks I want to talk to you about.â Shifting the Child easily into the crook of her left elbow, she reached up to the wall console, flipped open the access panel, and typed in a diagnostic code. The Child observed all this with vivid interest. âYou know I didnât use any droids, as requested, so it took me a lot longer than I expected.â She glanced hesitantly at him. âBut I figured you were good for the money, since you have an extra mouth to feed.â
Mando glanced back to the Child again, hearing him coo and gurgle. The kid seemed to recognize that, whatever Peli Mottoâs financial motives might be, he was safe with her.
âThank you,â he said.
The earnestness of his response seemed to surprise her, but only briefly. âOh, well, I guess I was right,â she said. âYou got a job, didnât you?â He didnât need to reply, but she followed him outside, still talking. âYou know, itâs costing me a lot of money to keep these droids even powered up!â
The Mandalorian stopped. In front of him, Toro Calican stood next to a pair of speeder bikes that floated effortlessly above their own shadows. The young hunter was leaning against one of the bikes with his arms crossed, head tilted back in a pose that heâd no doubt practiced in a hundred different mirrors.
He gestured at the bikes. âHey, Mando, what do you think?â
He inspected the bikes cautiously, not expecting much. They were secondhand at best, mashed together out of spare parts, but theyâd make it to the Dune Sea.
âWhat do you expect?â Calican asked defensively. âThis isnât Corellia,â he said, referring to the planet known for top-of-the-line ship manufacturing. He turned to nod at Motto, who was still standing there with the Child in her arms. âMaâam.â
Peli Motto said nothing, just gave him the suspicious glance of one whoâd seen his kind come
