Alvorine City

[Jade Albright]

~She limps off the stage hurting.~
Dancing in these heels was the stupidest thing I have ever done.
~She walks to the back and her com buzzes reading it she sighs.~
Oh goodie. I am needed.
~She looks at the young twi'lik girl as she leaves. Something about her rings a bell but Jade can't place it. Outside of the club she tears of her high heels and in the middle of the night runs to her ship. with Allora beside her. Allora meows at her and Jade laughs.~
Yeah yeah yeah hush pussy cat. I know my makeup is too much and my dress too tight..
~The ship lifts off.~

[Leia Organa Solo]

Leia watched the patrons and other employees. Some of the girls working were skittish, the rest were listless, as though the feeling was don't get too comfortable but there wasn't much you could do about it if you did. The unemployment rate on Alvorine was over 10% and that was without factoring in those who had just given up on being employed.

One of the dancers was dreadfully inexperienced. She made up for it with cute perky blondness but it was very apparent this was her first job. The mousy busser was probably her contact. Until and unless she ran out of options of finding out information she would wait to speak to her. Shquane had been an excellent source of information once the woman had opened up to her. It had taken a day of hard work and obvious competence on Leia's part as Pellaike the Twi'lik waitress to earn the tall woman's respect. She'd been friendly with the customers and flirtatious when it would get her a bigger tip from the patron. It was fun in it's way though she'd had to stuff down her natural sarcasm that amused her husband so deeply.

She'd gotten in early for her shift today, earlier than most of the patrons actually. A small group of men of various species, mostly human sat in their usual corner in the back of the club. They watched one of the younger girls practice on the dance pole with feigned disinterest. The Force nagged at her like one of her old aunts fussing over her hair as a kid. This girl would be next.

She looked over at Shquane and could tell by the look on her face she'd been thinking the same thing. They exchanged a look and both of them glanced at the group of men talking in the corner. The busser was busy cleaning tables at the other end of the club. She probably didn't have a mic on them so it was unlikely she knew what the conversation was.

Pretending annoyance at the girl for not cleaning up the whole bar she grabbed a damp rag and purposely headed for a near by table to eavesdrop while she scrubbed viciously at imaginary dirt.

[Jade Albright]

Kellie watched the new bar keep girl wondering what she was up to, but decided as long as she was here , all she was going to do is keep to the task at hand. She was getting worried wondering where her contact was.

What if something had happened to the person? How long would she be stuck in thins dump? She watch the new dancer and shook her head. The other dancer may had been nervous but at least she had natural rhythm. She wondered if that girl would come back? Probably not seeing as she was not a dancer in the first place.

Her eyes flickered back to the new bar keep girl.

[Jade Albright]

~Slowly she sneaks back in. She is not happy to be back in the tight dress and painful heels. Her disguise is back in place and she looks around hiding in the shadows.~

[Leia Organa Solo]

Leia grumps as she cleans up the tables around the 'business' men. They mostly ignore her other than a couple appreciating her rear.

The day wears on and the bar slowly fills. The new dancer is making a go of it, an amateurish one but a go of it. She notices the men that were at the bare are conspicuously absent this evening. Much as they have been every time one of the girls disappeared.

One of Pappy's first rank Shadows could figure this one out she thinks. The music throbs, it's some old jizz style stuff from when she was a kid. Low budget comes to mind. She threads her way between tables taking orders and being social with the patrons. A couple try to get touchy feeley with her but she politely swats them away. As a bar tender and not a dancer or floor girl she's not required to allow touching.

The bus girl gives her an askance look. One of the dancers has headed for the bathroom. Leia waits for a bit and notes she's been gone to long. Throwing her towel at Shquane she points at the ladies room if she can't hear. Shquane nods and takes over Leia's customers.

She heads for the ladies room as if for all the world she has to pee. Once inside she checks, there is no one there. Searching with her senses she feels a door in the floor under a commode where no door should be. Getting down on her hands and knees she pokes around at it to see where the mechanisim is.

[Jade Albright]

~She sighs not seeing much going on in the bar. She goes out side and begin looking around. Towards the back of the bar there is a shadow area that when she reaches out in the force she can tell is protected of sorts. She walks over and after quiet a while is able to get in.~

[Corey Dooku]

Corey gets out of his ship and places his Grey hood over his head. He slowly enters a bar where he sensed someone he had followed here. He goes to a quiet corner orders a drink. He sits back and watches the room. He does not open himself to the force but cuts himself off from it. He does not want to gain any attention to himself.

He notices a woman but does not make out her face from being in a dark corner in the bar. He keep his face hided from all to see.

[Corey Dooku]

Corey finished his third drink and looks around, no sign of who he was looking for. Keeping his head down he goes back to his ship and goes to sleep

[Johnathan Kenobi]

Johnathan walked through the city,his Jedi robes were left at his ship,he was now wearing a higher class outfit,an expensive looking scarf was wrapped around his thoat,his hair was pulled back out of his face,his stance was full of grace,he walked like a king,he wore very expensive looking clothing,and once he could feel Jade and Leia's force presence he made his own presence vanish just incase there were any other force users around,making his way into the bar,he went up to the bar,they sat a glass and poured him a Corellian Whiskey,he played with the shot glass,and then threw it back,but he was careful not to drink too much..he silently walked over and watched the girls,he really had his eyes closed,he was thinking of a plan,but suddenly felt a warm soft piece of cloth hit his face,and he opened his eyes to see he had been chosen to receive a stripper's undergarments he took them from his face,made a gesture that he was smelling of them,but really was only playing the part until he could find Leia and Jade..he hoped they were okay,but suddenly a man tapped his shoulder,"Looking for a good time?"he asked,Johnathan looked at the man,"What sort of a good time?"he asked.

The man was dressed cleanly,but that was the deception needed to keep others from finding out about his organization,as the man replied with,"Come around back in fifteen minutes."He winked and left Johnathan,who went back to fake watching the ladies,making notes in his mind about the task at hand.

[Leia Organa Solo]

Unable to find any physical mechanism on the bathroom side of the floor even after fishing around the plumbing of the grimy fresher that left her disgusted she reaches out with the force and tries to visualize the underside of the floor. While she'd never be as skilled at this as her son Anakin she is skilled enough to find the fulcrum. Pushing gently on it with the force she lets out a starttled yelp when it gives way suddenly. "DROK!" and lands squarely on her butt directly below the chute. She looks around and several large men are slowly turning around and staring at her. Oops she thinks.

[Jade Albright]

~She wiggles a bit more and slides in the door. She walks forward and suddenly the floor gives out from under her. She falls and as she hits she rolls. She lays there stunned and bruised. One word comes to her head, having heard it so much from Ire.~

FRAK.

~She sighs and moves forward slower, having hurt her ankle. She makes sure to move silently. She hears sounds up a head and sees men. She slowly peaks around the corner and sees the young twi'lik woman that was bartending tied up and four men around her.~

Darn it.

~She whispers to her self trying to figure out what to do.~

[Johnathan Kenobi]

Johnathan walked out the back door,flanked by the man who approached him before. Johnathan grinned,"So about my good time.."Johnathan spoke,and then as the man began to talk he smiled.

"Well..take it this way,we have a few..shall we say women,who may take an interest in you..and well..I wouldn't want to insult you,but you might enjoy having them around..sometimes.."He grinned,"I trust your unarmed."he said,with a wink and led him through a door.

Johnathan grinned,"Of course.."he smiled and followed him forward,he felt distress in the air,though he remained calm,he went forward with the man,who took him ironically to the room that held Leia though he only recognized Leia because of her trying hard to get free,but he noticed none of the others were paying attention to her..he looked at the other Twi'lek,she was gagged and couldn't move or talk,Johnathan approached her,letting his hand trace her shoulder,he sent her a thought through the force and calming feelings.

Then he stepped back,looking at the men,he could over power them,but why bother,he had already pressed his comm signal,and the authorities were tracing him,and would break down the door any moment now. He just needed to delay them,he wasn't much for Twi'leks but he was playing along and the man was grinning about them all,he told John,"All of them will serve you well,sir.."he smiled.

Johnathan smiled back at him,and nodded,"How much are we talking?"he asked,"For the both of em?"he grinned.

The other man grinned with him,"I see,so your a man of many needs,so am I,a million for both of them,its a small price to pay considering how beautiful these young women are."he grins.

Johnathan nods,"Perhaps.."and began to play with his chin as if he were deep in thought.

[Jade Albright]

~She hears John's voice and peaks around the corner. She wonders what he is doing but trusting in him, she slips around the back way. Belly crawling she gets to the bartender woman and slowly undoes her ties. She uses force stasis on the man in front of the woman. As he goes to the ground silently she moves the blaster to her. She hands it to the bartender and puts a finger over her mouth hoping the twi'lik understands to be quiet.~

[Leia Organa Solo]

Leia nods. She knows as soon as the guard slumps to the floor that the dancer is a jedi like her and also in disguise. When she saw Johnathan walk in between two hefty goons she rolled her eyes. Who next she thinks, Gert? That would just figure if her husband's paranoid cousin was skulking about. she decides not to untie the other girl in case she's a screamer and slips around the corner only to have the other guards notice their handy work.

"HEY!" one of them shouts. "After them!" Leia and Jade look at each other with the same not again expression and both crouch behind crates as the fire at the guards alternating between who fires cover and who is firing at specific moving targets.

[Corey Dooku]

Corey enters the bar taking his same place as last night. He keeps his hood over his head as he orders another drink

"Jedi Mind Trick."

She looks at him and smiles

"No one asked for that drink in years, you are in luck we do still serve it."

Corey smiles as she goes get his drink. He once again cut himself off from the force and watches the crowd.
