Searching for a Painting

[Yukki Kazuto]

I stared at the money, my hand resting on my sidearm. I had to admit, this wasn’t a situation I thought I would be in when I knocked on the door. Or when I busted it down and attacked everyone inside. The fight? Yeah, that was expected. Even if my target wasn’t here, it’s the lower half of Coruscant after all. But sipping tea with my target, no, not really expected.


And now, about her proposition. I finished my tea and placed the empty cup down on the table. I drummed my fingers on the table for a few moments thinking about it. Luci waited patiently as I considered my options. It might not have been what I originally came here for, but hey. When it comes down to it, joining her side has more benefits than killing her.


I took my gun off the table. “What did you have in mind? I’m not above killing someone or doing some work that would get me a bounty, but I’m not going on a suicide mission or anything.” For a moment, I could have sworn I saw her smile.
