"Much to learn, you still have."

-Yoda

Bounty hunters! Run!"

I bolted. I didn't need to be told again. They weren't

taking me back to Logron. Ahead. Sona decided the sun-

drenched alley was too exposed and dove into a shad-

owed archway.

"Come...argh!" the Bothan groaned, suddenly reap-

pearing as she bounced off something hard, landing on

her back in the sandy street. I slowed to a jog. grabbed

her hand, and yanked her back to her feet without stop-

ping. "Didn't see the door. Too dark." she cursed. As we

picked up speed, she pressed something into my hand.

A blaster pistol.

"So. now you trust me?" I asked..

"Barely. Just point it at the bounty hunters." She looked

behind us. Our twisting path through Mos Simula's alley-

ways blocked the hunters from view. I momentarily pan-

icked as a pair of humanoid figures sprinted around the

corner, but I quickly realized they were Sona's friends, the

Pero brothers. At least. I thought the Twi'leks were her

friends. I barely knew any of them.

Stun bolts buzzed by the Twi'leks as they turned the

corner. The hunters were much too close for comfort.

We all ran harder. At least the stun bolts told us they

wanted us alive...for now.

"There's no way Logron's hunters could find us that

fast!" I yelled at Sona. We had escaped Logron's des-

ert farmstead hideout less than an hour before, after

we smashed his comm gear and took the only speeder.

Logron (all-around scum, minor crime lord, and illegal

bounty hunter kingpin) had left unexpectedly, and we

seized the opportunity to break out of our makeshift

cell. His otherwise-inept guards managed to blast the

landspeeder as we zipped away. Its repulsorlift died five

minutes outside Mos Shuuta. crashing us into a conve-

niently-located sand dune.

"They're not Logron's." Sona shouted back. "I think

they're after the Pero brothers. Coson and Rels must owe

someone BIG. They always attract bounty hunters."

The Twi'leks caught up to us when we slowed to turn

down a side street. The older one, Coson, replied. "II

they're after us. they're new. Don't recognize them." A

barrage of stun bolts announced the hunters' reaequisi-

tion of their targets. Us.
