Bounty Hunter Archive

part 2

It's dark, and I can't see. I remember the smell of my own burnt flesh, and the hunter standing over me, smiling.
I should be a scorch mark though, shouldn't I? What's happening? I feel hands on me. They're sending a strange sensation coursing through my body and more to the point, my back.
I hear a voice, female. She tells me I will live. I will live? The words sear my brain, and all I can think of is that smiling face...........

Rattl'r has been looking for the Empire's weapon development station for sometime, now. He knows that the side trip to Tatooine was a bad idea, but one he had to take. Now, with his new light saber complete and a pretty good source pointing him to the outer rim, he almost feels like he can take a well-deserved rest. Hell, it's a long trip out there anyway, and there's been no sign of the hunters for days. He starts to think this mission Master Skywalker sent him on just might get a little easier.
As he rests, his thoughts drift to his childhood and to the brother he lost........

My employer is not happy about the loss of my mark, not to mention having to give me information on the whereabouts of the sonofabitch who shot me. He wants me to finish the jedi deal, and I tell him I will. For now, my thirst for retribution is more important to me than credits.
It was easy finding this hunter. He may have missed that damn jedi, but he more than made up for it with stories of my demise. His trail of outrageous boasts led me straight to him.
I find him in a backwater town on the planet of Rori. Hell, even the Empire won't come here. He's playing holo chess, and quite badly, at that. I've been to this bar before. It should be nothing to take him out here.
I watch as he beats a creature I've never seen. I walk up to the holo table and take a seat across from him.
The face is priceless. I almost laugh . I can see the sweat bead down from his forhead. Jaw trembling, he tries to ask how this is possible. Now, I do laugh. The truth is, I don't know myself. I slide my brand new D-10 out and aim level under the table. I know he has more information on my jedi mark, so I ask him nicely. Thinking he might be safe if he gives it up, he tells me all he knows. I glare coldly at him as he begs for mercy. As he unknowingly takes his last breath, I wonder how this pathetic piece of trash could have gotten the drop on me. As I step over his corpse, I shake my head. Oh well. A bounty hunter can't afford to be weak.........Guess he didn't get the memo.

With less than a day's travel left until he gets to the outer rim, Rattl'r sends a secure holo message to the jedi temple on Yavin 4 in hopes that Master Skywalker will have something more to help in the search.
With so much going on all over the galaxy, he wonders how his fellow jedi are faring. Rattl'r knows he might never see any of them again.

As I head for the door, the patrons move aside. A big Bothan drags the corpse away, and it's back to business as usual. My scar hurts a little less.
Traveling back to the core, I send a message through the holo-net. My employer has informed me that the Empire has raised the bounty on that jedi . Apparently, the jedi has found information on a weapons devlopment station, something the Empire has tried to keep very hush-hush. My informant can't give me an exact location, but tells me that my mark will be heading for the outer rim. That's all I need.
I can almost taste that fruity drink now. Soon, very soon.

Hope its a good read.
