Trust 22 Anakin had calmed down some in the container but he was still very worried. Somewhere out there was a confederation ship carrying his former padawan into danger. He felt utterly helpless and it was a feeling he despised. "R2 plot a course to Sullest then calculate every possible jump point from there to confederation territories" said Anakin "yes I don't know if we have all their allies on record either" said Anakin. The small droid whistled in irritation and set to work. A few minutes later he was making the jump to hyperspace. Isis watched with dread as the lines slowed back into stars again. Indicating that they were out of hyperspace. Parked in orbit over Sullest's only moon was a huge confederation destroyer. Isis swallowed the lump of fear in her throat. Her com board lit up and she answered it. Doing her best impression of Araz's voice. Since the boy sounded like a girl anyways it was easier to fake. "We'll guide you in, stand by for tractor lock" said the droid on the other end. Isis debated just cutting a hole in the control board and attempting to make a run for it. Provided she didn't slice though any controls she would need. She would still have to make it out of range of those guns. She sighed and decided to just let herself get captured. The tractor beam guided her to a smooth if somewhat rocky landing on the flight deck. She sighed and went towards the pilot in the back. He was swearing through his gag. She pulled it off. "No point in that now is there" she said, "go ahead and open the door we've landed," she said. She didn't really see any point to keeping the man tied up after all technically he was just the hired help. The door slid open and droids walked in followed by Grievous. The transport captain actually looked pleased with himself as though he had captured her. Isis rolled her eyes as if. "Isis?" said Grievous in shock "yep, that'd be me, how are you doing Grievous" said Isis. "Fine I have this cough but.. What are you doing here?" said Grievous He was obviously taken off guard by her friendly banter. "I should kill you for killing them" said Grievous he pointed to the two dead apprentices "didn't Dooku say that if a Jedi killed you that you were unworthy of the title Sith anyways" said Isis "yes well I'm still wondering what you would be considered these days" said Grievous He was eyeing Marq's body as he said it. "Ordinarily we would just kill you, you know being a Jedi and all but Dooku left special orders for you" said Grievous "lead on" said Isis. The droids looked at Grievous as if to ask shouldn't we bind her. "Those are unnessarary, besides where would she go?" said Grievous "This way please," said Grievous. Isis fell into step beside him, keeping pace with his long strides out of practiced ease. "So you joined the Jedi order," said Grievous "for the moment yes," said Isis. She wanted him to think she was reconsidering her choice of allies. In truth she was somewhat disappointed with the order. She could see the frustrations that Dooku had talked about, she saw them all to clearly mirrored in her former master. "You regret your decision to help the Jedi," said Grievous "no not really just beginning to see how futile it was," said Isis. "You seek to trick me," said Grievous "now that would be very unjedi like of me wouldn't it." Said Isis. She smiled at him wickedly and Grievous felt unnerved for some reason. He led her to the bridge he wanted her where he could keep an eye on her. He strode onto the bridge and headed straight to the communications array. Isis walked onto the bridge like she belonged there. If she were going to find out about Obi she would have to play along for a while. Besides it might even provide valuable information on their weaknesses and Dooku's student's. Isis watched as Dooku's image materialized on the display board. After Grievous explained what had happened he glanced in her direction. Isis walked into view "hello Dooku" said Isis "Isis wow what a pleasant surprise, are you rejoining us?" said Dooku "I'm considering it" said Isis. She was being truthful in that statement just enough that Dooku wouldn't be able to detect it through the force. "I look forward to seeing you again," said Dooku "Grievous see to it our returning student makes it home safely" said Dooku "as you wish sir" said Grievous. " Lay in a course to Commenor" said Grievous. "This way please," said Grievous he lead her from the bridge and into on of the officers salons. The door closed behind them "so what have you been up to?" said Isis "fighting, hunting Jedi when I get the chance, I have quite a collection would you like to see it" said Grievous "Sure why not" said Isis "how are your friends?" said Grievous. He remembered she had been quite close to her friends. " Petra and Chani are off fighting so I never see them anymore and Kira.. Kira died," said Isis. She felt no reason to lie to Grievous after all everything she said could be verified. "I see, how did she die?" said Grievous "bomb on a carrier, Obi wan was also reported dead as well" said Isis. She was watching the cyborg for reaction. If she hadn't taught herself years ago how to spot it, she would never have caught it. That tell tale sign that she had stirred some kind of emotional response to her statement. "Yes well how very unfortunate, for them both" said Grievous "yes very unfortunate to be declared dead when your not" said Isis "Ah so that's why you're here, he won't tell you, you know," said Grievous "maybe, maybe not, so where's Asaj lately" said Isis. She smoothly changed the subject with feigned nonchalance. "On Praetor, most likely torturing Jedi," said Grievous. Part of her being rebelled at the thought of pretending not to care but she had to do it. If it meant Obi Wan's life she'd dance with the devil himself just to save him. The scary thing was she was about to. She was about to say more when the deck lurched beneath her feet. "What was that?" she asked "the guns fired for some reason, hold on I'll check," said Grievous. While Grievous had his back to her she reached out through the force and touched the mind of the pilot who was obviously pursuing her. *Anakin run you don't have enough firepower to handle this ship* said Isis * not without you* he sent back * I'm fine Obi wan is alive on Praetor, now go* she sent then cut off his reply Grievous was turning around. "It appears a small fighter craft has pursued you, my gunners have opened fire on him" Isis struggled with a decision, right now Anakin had to live, so he could save Obi. "He already sent for reinforcements, he's working off a cruiser, we should get out of here" said Isis she was bluffing she knew Anakin was only backed by a small force of soldiers but she didn't want him unnecessarily killed trying to save her. "Are you certain?" said Grievous. Isis lied, lied like a bad car salesman trying to sell Christine. "Yes it's a major operation there using the area as a staging point, I know they have at least three cruisers" said Isis. She racked her brain for names of cruisers she could use to verify she knew what she was saying. Grievous was eyeing her like he was debating on trusting her. She looked at the window like she was expecting those phantom ships to arrive. "Which ones? He asked and Isis's mind called up a duty roster she had glanced at in passing. When she was back at the temple. "The cherub, wind hammer and sharshine" she said remembering the list. Grievous looked at her funny but seemed to believe her. "All engines prepare for hyperspace jump," he said into the COM a few minutes later the ship jumped into hyperspace and Isis saw the lines in the window. * Sorry Anakin* she sent Grievous turned back towards her "that was Skywalker wasn't it?" said Grievous. "More than likely" said Isis. He walked closer to her. "There were no other ships were there?" said Grievous before she could answer the COM beeped again Grievous hit the button almost literally. "Sir two capital ships just jumped into the area we just left, probes picked them up before they were blasted," said the droid on the bridge. Some of Grievous' anger dissipated; perhaps she had been telling the truth. Her loyalty was still in doubt thought. "We will reach the rendezvous point in a few hours do not try to leave these rooms" said Grievous. "Fine, do you have any caf in the dispenser?" she asked he barely restrained the urge to growl at her. She was acting like she was a houseguest not a prisoner. "Yes and some scoones, Dooku always stocks them," said Grievous. He was trying to keep the irritation out of his voice. He walked to the door, his hand poised above the panel "oh and Grievous" said Isis. He turned to glare at her. She smiled at him and said "nice to see you too" He walked out the door and shut it quickly behind him. Isis didn't bother to stifle the giggle. She walked over to the dispenser on the wall pulled a cup that said property of Dooku do not touch on it and poured herself a cup of caf, dumped a bunch of sweetener in it and pulled a scone out of the cupboard. She sat back in what was most likely Dooku's favorite chair and ate his scoones and drank his caf like it was hers. Anakin watched in disbelief as the ship jumped into hyperspace "no, no, damn it no!" said Anakin "R2 where are they going?" said Anakin "what do you mean the signals scrambled?" said Anakin. He was about to pursue anyways when a capital ship appeared behind him. Fortunately it was one of theirs. Before turning towards the ship he spotted the probe floating next to some asteroid debris and shot it down. Once on board the ship he called the temple and they refused to let him go to Praetor to rescue Obi wan. He debated doing so anyways, he shut off the COM to the temple and talked to Palpatine. He seemed to be someone who genuinely cared for Anakin's problems. Palpatine urged Anakin to follow orders, reasoning that Obi wan could rescue himself. The call left him feeling just as frustrated as before not to mention worried. Dooku wouldn't hurt her, he hoped. The man had said he loved her, but does a Sith ever truly love someone. Two days later Obi wan came limping home in a confederate craft carrying an unknown light saber. Leaving behind a very pissed off Asaj. Obi wan was laid up in the temples healing halls for about a week. Anakin had avoided seeing him for all that time. Mostly because he didn't truly want him to know about Isis yet. He no longer had that option; on the holonews Dooku had released a statement. He was getting married, to Isis. Anakin walked in just as Obi wan's remote hit the wall. Anakin paused he could feel the anger radiating off the older Jedi. "When were you going to tell me?" said Obi "I didn't know how," said Anakin. Obi wan slid his legs out of bed. "Where are you going?" said Anakin "to stop a wedding" hissed Obi wan. His legs were still protesting those horrible parasites Asaj had injected him with. "Obi wan your in no condition to do this" said Anakin Obi wan glared at him "I don't care" he said "they won't let you go, besides we have guard duty over the chancellor" said Anakin "let some other Jedi do it" said Obi wan "Obi, we'll get her back you know we will" said Anakin
