I look around to the crowded city around me, the sounds and feelings deafening my senses. Suddenely a Rodian bumps into me and whispers under his breath."Kung Murishani!" I turn to face him, my face heated with insult, as he rushes away from me. "Damn civilians... I can't even relax without being insulted." I whisper to myself as I decide to not take the bait.
I shake my head and start to walk deep into the oncoming crowds. I cloak my presence as I always do, simply because I prefer to not be seen.

I stride into the dimly lit office and head past the main guard. I make the first left off the main entrance. I have been here so many times now, the place is forever mapped out in my mind. I make the next right and get onto the elevator, which takes me up to the boss's level, the 10th floor. After exiting the elevator, I approach her door and knock four times.
"Aleima, I have returned," I say into the door.
The door swings open and reveals the Crime Lord of Nar Shaddaa. The tall middle aged Zeltron looks me up and down.
"You look like Bantha Fodder." She says simply. She steps away from the doorway and ushers me into her office. "I have been eagerily awaiting your return, what have you brought me, Jedi?"
I step into the red shaded room and look indigantly at Alemia. "I look like Fodder, because I just spent months trying to catch that damn Rodian you put me after... I tracked him to several planets..." I sit down in the chair across from Alemia's desk. "And do you know what I found out, when I finally caught him?"
Alemia closes the door and strides across the room to take her seat.
Alemia looks to me amused, "No Jedi, what was that?"
I point my finger at her in accusation, "I am not a Jedi, how many times must I tell you this!" I sigh deeply and look away.
"You carry the weapon of a Jedi, and I have seen you use your abilties on others. Force Lightning that poor Trandoshan to death, what was that about again... credits?"
I shake my head, "No, nothing like that. He got only what he asked for, in my opinion."

I think back on that day, when that Transoshan approached me. He told me that my Father had been seen in the cantina and that if my father's foolishness didn't get him killed, he would do it himself. An argument ensued and I made the first move by sending him flying with Force Lightning. He never stood a chance.
My eyes become teary as I think about the monster I've become.
"Is is something I said that upsets you, Jedi? You need to toughen up more, not be so worried about morality. Unless the Exchange isn't good enough for you? Some cannot handle this line, of work of course."
Aleima looks at me slyly and I know she's trying to irritate me.
I shake my head and laugh slightly. "You're not going to con me into that one, Alemia. What I am curious about is why you sent me to kill a fellow bounty hunter? One that was in your good graces as I recall."
Alemia looks serious at me, almost dangerous. "I sent you to kill a mole, nothing more. Do not question my orders, Jedi, unless you want the Exchange to begin questioning your actions!" Her voice conveys her sense of authority and anger. She relaxes after a moment and stands. She walks across the room and turns towards me. "I am grateful that you took care of that problem for us.. but now there is another situation I need you to deal with. It seems that many have died trying to kill this target.." Alemia stops for a moment. "This target is a Rogue Sith and has been taken to targeting our hunters, if you can kill her Jedi... I will make sure your status is reviewed with the other crime lords."
I look down at the table for a minute thinking.
"I've told you before Alemia that I want nothing to do with the Force, no Jedi and no Sith."
Alemia strides toward me and leans her hands on her desk, to tower over my seated position.
"It does not matter to me what arguments you've had in the past... I want this Sith DEAD!!! You know our rules, Rand... you can't back out now."
I glare at her and stand to meet her level. "I will kill your Sith... but be assured that if you ever try to overpower me again, I will make sure you regret it."
A flash of fear runs across Aleima's face but she quickly composes herself, "I'm glad we are at an understanding then, Jedi. She can be found hiding on Nal Hutta, not far from here"
I turn away from her and open the door. The red from Aleima's lamps flashed across my face. "Take care to remember it."
With that, I turned and left.
