Well, it just didn't feel right for them to not go after her. So it didn't leave me much choice. LOL A/N: I actually managed to write a chappie on Last Name today so hopefully I can finish up the next one for Sins...keep your fingers crossed. -----signature----- Stories are in my bio!

	Well...don't everyone kill me at once but this is the last chappie. I hate to end the story but I can't really justify dragging it out anymore. So enjoy!!! ~Sab Oh...Happy Send An Email Day!!!! ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ Chapter 31 Team 1 – Corran, Jarik, Karissa, Micah, Ben, Ajani and three swat members. Team 2 – Kyp, Jag, Jaina, Luke, Zoan, Zek and three swat members Team 1 – Five hours later… Ajani had just finished strapping his flack vest down when he felt a hand on his arm. Turning, a smile split his face as Myri held out his blaster for him. He took it from her and strapped it on, his eyes not leaving her face. “You’re not going to do anything stupid out there, are you?” She asked, causing him to chuckle. “Wasn’t planning on it.” He said quietly. “Why, did you have a request?” “Yeah.” Came her reply as she went to her toes and brought his face down to hers. “Try not to get killed.” ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ “You sure you’re up for this Jarik?” He looked up to find Corran standing next to him and he sighed. “Yes. For the last time I feel fine.” “Hey.” The master said shortly causing Jarik’s eyes to vaunt up to meet his. “Keep your tude. I get enough of that from Valin.” “Yes sir.” Jarik snarked as Corran walked away. He felt Karissa walk up behind him and he turned gracing her with a smile. “Please don’t ask me what everyone else is asking me?” He pleaded with her. “What do I get if I don’t?” She asked him saucily as he pulled her into his arms. “I’m sure I can think of a suitable reward.” Came the whisper in her ear, his gaze suddenly going behind Karissa to find Micah standing there. “You ask me and I’ll shoot you.” Micah laughed and walked closer. “Ask what?” He said, not innocently enough. Jarik started to say something when Micah stopped him. “I’m fine man. I just want to get her out of there.” “We will.” Karissa interjected into the conversation. “Damn right we will.” ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ Team 2 “What, you put all the old people on the same team?” Kyp asked Luke as they waited for Zoan and the swat team members to get ready. “Speak for yourself, Durron. We’re not all old like you.” Jag threw back as he walked over to the pair. “No, Kyp. If that had been my goal, I would have put myself on the other team just to spite you.” Luke offered, smiling when Kyp’s face fell slightly. “I simply put the people who mesh well together on the same team. You, Jag, Jaina and Zekk have always worked well together. The same can be said for Karissa, Jarik and Micah. Ben’s flexible and Corran…well we’ll just leave it at that.” He said, his grin growing. Kyp snorted at Luke’s explanation and ran a hand over his face in frustration. He was eager to get the show on the road and get this over with. Looking up, he found Jade giving him a concerned look and he attempted to smile at her. She leaned over to tell Jared something and when he nodded she started Kyp’s way. They were a few buildings down from where Edward was holed up. Myri was camped out with Jade and Seena to await the outcome with Jared and Jysella standing watch over them. Normally, civilians weren’t allowed anywhere near a takedown but Myri had made an exception this once. Considering both women had half of their immediate families involved it was the least she could do. Jade stopped in front of her husband and gave him a smile. He responded by pulling her into his arms and burying his face in her neck. A chuckle escaped her and she sighed as he tightened his arms around her. “You ok?” She whispered quietly. “Yeah. I just want this to all be over. I thought we had left the past in that exact place. The past.” “It’ll be over soon. We’ll have Sari home safe and we can put it behind us for good then.” Jade told him as he raised his head up to smile at her. “Force, I love you.” He said as he placed a kiss on her forehead. “You realize how much I’m gonna be leaning on you when Luke finally lets me take over?” “Yep. It’s going to be a full time job just keeping you grounded. Why do you think I’m quitting the senate?” She teased, getting a raised brow from her husband. “I thought it was because you loved me.” He pouted playfully. “Oh well, there’s that, too.” ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ Sari continued to watch as the big man paced back and forth on the other side of the room. In the last two hours he had been joined by a small group of men who, frankly, scared her. If she had to guess, she would say they were mercenaries who would do anything for the right price. Pulling her legs up to her chest she wrapped her arms around them and rested her forehead on her knees. Please, don’t let them come after me she thought to herself. The door opening brought her head up and she watched as one of the men walked over to Edward and told him something quietly. The smile that broke out on his face made her stomach clench. Apparently the force wasn’t listening to traitors today. Edward turned around and gave her a sly smile and she tried to school her features so that they were passive. “I told you not to underestimate your worth my dear. They’re here.” He said as he walked towards her. Reaching down he grabbed the stun cuffs that were keeping her captive and hit the release lever, causing them to fall to the floor. Stunned, she looked at him and frowned. He said nothing as two men came over and each grabbed an arm to lift her and pull her over to a far corner. The farthest part of the room that was from the door. They pushed her towards the wall and she slammed into it grimacing from the impact. “Sit.” One of them sneered and she complied unconsciously, her eyes never leaving his. They backed away, but took root a few meters in front of her and turned their backs her way. Edward wasn’t taking any chances. Her head dropped slightly as she fought the overwhelming fear that threatened to take over. There was an opening about two meters to her right, but she wasn’t sure she could make it. Sighing quietly, she closed her eyes and cleared her mind of her anxiety. Edward had provided her with her own ysalamari so she couldn’t use the force, but she could still meditate. It was better than waiting for her friends to walk into an ambush. ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ Closing his eyes, Micah took a couple of deep breaths and tried to get the frown off his face. He was anxious to get up the building, but they hadn’t been given the ok yet. Karissa stood to his left and he smiled when she reached over to grab his hand and squeeze it reassuringly. He didn’t turn to thank her, just squeezed back in response. Ajani stiffened visibly, his finger going up to his ear. He nodded even though the person talking into his ear couldn’t see him and turned towards the group. “All the tenants are clear. Team 2 is going in first to make sure it’s clear up to the floor. Once they get it locked down, we’re going in.” ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ Kyp hated working blind, but they really didn’t have a choice. He and Zoan were leading half the group slowly up the stairs from the fourth to the fifth floor. They had decided to break up and take both points of entry. Zekk and two of the SWAT team members were behind him as they stopped in front of the door. He reached out into the force and found no one on the other side or in the hallway. The presence of six men came at him from about 10 meters away, then he hit a void. Who knew how many were hiding in that particular spot, but he was sure they could handle it. They were more worried about Sari. Looking up at Zoan, the younger man gave him a nod and Kyp palmed the door his saber at the ready in his other hand. He ignited it, flashing it out into the hallway and heard only the hum of his weapon. “Apparently there’s no automated systems in the hallway.” He heard Zoan say quietly into his comm. Swallowing, Kyp walked slowly out into the darkened corridor and found nothing. He blew out the breath he didn’t know he had been holding and nodded to the detective. Now it was the other team’s turn. ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ He stepped out of the lift and waited for everyone to take their spots. He and Corran were running point with Ben and Ajani backing them up. To say Micah had been surprised that the detective had giving him the option would be an understatement. He was still trying to figure out why as he and the Master walked slowly towards the door. Of course, you could argue that everyone involved on this except the SWAT team members had a personal stake in the outcome of what they were about to do. So why should it matter that he was up front. Corran held out a hand to halt Micah and he did so without even looking at the man. Sensing no movement from inside the apartment, Corran waved Jarik and Karrisa up towards him and pointed with his fingers to either side of the door. Nodding, the two Jedi walked over and took up space on either side of the door, their sabers in attack position. Corran looked over at Micah and raised his brows. “Ready?” He mouthed, receiving a short nod from the young man. Corran grinned and started to walk forward. Suddenly, Micah remembered something. He reached out quickly and stopped the Master whose head whipped around in confusion. Micah moved closer. “Wasn’t there a back entrance?” He whispered. “Yeah, but it’s by the bubble. Micah, it’s a little late to be rethinking the strategy.” “Chances are that’s where Sari is. Let me take the SWAT guys and go around back before we go in. Maybe we can get in that way.” “It would take too long to feel that way out.” Corran argued as Jarik moved over to join their conversation. “Is this really a good time to be having a discussion guys?” Jarik asked. “Don’t ask me why, but I just have a feeling that we need someone at that entrance.” Micah pushed, not paying his friend any attention. Corran’s lips thinned and he remained silent. ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ Jag frowned. “Shouldn’t they have gone in already?” He asked Jaina, as he turned to find her eyes closed. “Something’s wrong.” She answered quietly. “Corran and Micah are both irritated. I think they’re arguing.” “Sith.” Kyp swore. “Now’s not really a good time.” He added quietly. They were in the stairwell, backup in case some of the bad guys made it past the first team and tried to escape. The rest of them were waiting in the lobby at the lift for any stragglers. “Micah wants to take the back entrance to the apartment.” Jaina said, her brow creasing. “Corran doesn’t want to change the plan.” “Well, they need to make a decision.” Zekk stated. ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ Ajani watched the pair stare each other down and rolled his eyes. “Baker, you and Master Skywalker go with Micah to the back entrance. Wait for my signal before you burst in.” He told the SWAT member, then looked back up to see Corran frowning at him and Micah smiling. “He’s got a point Master Horn. But they’ll wait until we go in before they even attempt to.” He directed the last part to Micah and received a nod from the young man before he moved back into the stairwell with his two shadows. “I don’t like it.” Corran told the big man as he joined him and Jarik. “I don’t either, but there’s a reason Edward has the void there. I think it’s because that’s where Sari is, but it doesn’t hurt to have a little extra on the other side. Baker’s a crack hacker so they’ll be able to get past any security if there is some and I have a feeling the other two will be just fine.” ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ They had to take the fire escape to get to the other side of the apartment. Micah consulted the blueprints in his head and pointed to the window at the far end of the walkway. Silently, Ben and Baker followed him as he made his way down there. When he finally arrived at his destination he couldn’t hold back the chuckle. “You’ve got to be kidding me.” He heard Baker say. There was no glass in over half the windows. Some of the openings had broken panes, but most of them were devoid of anything at all. “Well, that makes it a tad easier.” Micah mumbled as he poked his head through the opening and checked the room inside. There were a few crates, but the room was barren besides. He hoisted himself through the opening them moved aside so the other two could join him. “There’s a short hallway outside the door.” He whispered to them. “ A few meters up is the entrance to the main room where Edward is. Hopefully the floor is in good condition and we can make it there without being detected. ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ “I thought you said they were here.” One of the mercenaries sneered. “They are.” “Then what are they waiting for?” Another piped up. Micah and Ben’s eyes met and the older man smiled. He knew Micah was anxious to get this over with, especially considering Sari was likely to be caught in the crossfire. Ben gave him a look that urged patience and Micah nodded slightly. “Will all of you shut up!” Edward finally said, the silence following was deafening. “You’re not helping our cause any by arguing about it. Just be patient and you’ll get to kill someone in a minute.” Grunts of satisfaction met Micah’s ears and he bit his lip. ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ Jarik got the nod from Corran and giving Karissa a quick glance palmed the door. The second it opened blaster fire poured through it. There was no aiming involved on the mercenaries part. Just fire and hit something. Corran’s blade moved rapidly as he walked towards the door, sending shots into the walls around them. The two Jedi waited until he was almost to them before they moved through the doorway to take up their spots on the other side of the wall they had just occupied. He quickly scanned the room as he parried incoming shots and located Sari over in the corner. Her eyes were wide as she met his gaze and he smiled, giving her a quick wink. Mentally he told the rest of the Jedi where she was located and concentrated on the fight again. He laughed out loud when Karissa sent a stray bolt over towards Sari and struck the little animal in the cage. She smiled but didn’t turn to look at him. ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ Ben looked up and nodded at Micah as he and Baker moved to go through the doorway. Micah zipped around the corner, pushing Sari to the ground with him. He rolled at the last minute to keep his weight off of her and landed with a grunt on the floor. She froze, draped halfway on him and couldn’t believe her eyes. He’d actually come for her. “Micah?” Her surprise was evident as he looked up at her and smiled. “You were expecting someone else?” He joked as he took a minute to search her face. “You’re not hurt?” She shook her head and he reached around behind him, not in any hurry to let her go. “I’m going to assume you know how to shoot this.” He whispered into her ear as he placed a blaster into her hand. Sari nodded softly, not unaffected by Micah plastered against her. “Micah…” “Later, Sari. We’ll have time to talk later.” He said as he kissed her temple and separated from her to cover their friends. Tucking her questions away for later, she moved over to flank him and return fire. Disappointingly, it was over in a matter of minutes. Edward had been overconfident and hadn’t really thought his plan through. Even with the fifteen mercenaries he’d hired, it had been entirely too easy. Micah couldn’t keep the grin off his face as he watched Ajani’s men work. His heart was still racing as the big detective walked over in his direction. “Thank you.” Micah said suddenly, startling the big man. “For what?” “Siding with me earlier.” “Ah. Well, it was a good idea. I just wish you would have had it earlier.” He offered giving the young man one of his rare smiles. Ajani cleared his throat and suddenly looked uncomfortable. “So, Myri tells me you’re interested in intelligence work.” ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ Sari looked at the blaster in her hand and then walked over to place it on one of the crates that had survived the fight. She could feel him watching her and wanted to run, but knew she couldn’t. She was already in trouble and disappearing, even for a few minutes, was not going to work in her favor. “Hey.” Sari turned to find him standing behind her, a worried look on his face. “You ok?” She nodded absently. Of course she wasn’t ok. Her brother had tried to kill one of her friends, not to mention all the women he had killed and she had done nothing to stop it. Then she’d been kidnapped and now she was going to lose Micah and probably end up in prison. Yeah, she was great. The pricking of tears stung her eyes and she squeezed them shut, trying to turn away from him. Micah wasn’t having it. He reached out and pulled her to him, which opened up the flood gate. She sobbed opening into his chest, not caring who heard her. “I’m so sorry…” She managed to eke out. “Shhh.” He whispered, his hand running up and down her back. “It’s ok. We’ll work this out.” Sari’s head popped up and she found him smiling at her. “How can I make this right? Micah I helped…” “Stop. I’m aware of what you did. I said we’ll work it out. Trust me.” He told her as he searched her eyes. Finally, she lowered her gaze and nodded. ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ One Year Later… “Hey!” He yelled at the two students who were running down one of the hallways. “No running.” “Yes sir.” They called politely, as they slowed from a run to a fast walk. Kyp chuckled and shook his head. It was the last day of classes before an extended break and he was just as eager for it to start as the students. He stood in the main chamber of the temple and unconsciously crossed his arms to bury his hands up his sleeves. Luke had handed over the reins six months ago and had moved himself to Ossus permanently. Not that he wouldn’t come back if Kyp needed him, but he was pretty confident that it wouldn’t be necessary. Corran had left a month ago to join his wife and the Antilles on Coreillia expressing a similar sentiment to Luke’s. While the changing of the guard for the Jedi had created some uproar, the majority of the response had been positive for Kyp. He knew there were always going to be those that chose to judge him by his past rather than his accomplishments since, but he wasn’t really worried about them. The only opinions that mattered were his family’s. As if conjuring them with his thoughts he saw Galven and Rika walked into the room and waved as they moved towards him. They were taking a vacation. The first one they had been able to take in a long time. Jade had left the Senate, much to everyone’s despair and helped him with his own dream. He no longer thought that he deserved so much less than his wife gave him, but he made a point to thank her everyday anyway. His two younger children stopped next to him and he smiled. “You guys are packed, right?” Rika rolled her eyes at him. “Yes dad. We were packed last night. How many times are you going to ask that?” He felt a twinge in his chest as he looked at his daughter. Sometime in the last year he had gone from daddy to dad. It hadn’t been that bad when the boys had made that change, but something about Rika doing it bothered him. Jade had told him it was because she was his little girl and it was different. He had taken her word for it and lived with it even though he didn’t like it. “Just checking.” He responded, holding his hands out in front of him in surrender and smiling. “You should be more worried about if Karissa’s packed or not.” His younger son snarked. Galven had matured quite a bit in the last year. While he and Kyp weren’t nearly as close as he and Jarik their relationship had definitely grown for the better. Kyp’s grin grew to match his son’s and he looked up to see his wife and other son walking towards them. “Everybody ready?” He asked the group and when he received nods from all of them, he looked to his oldest. “Where’s Kissa?” “She’s going to meet us at the hangar. There was a few things she needed to take care of.” Kyp nodded and throwing his arm around Jade’s shoulders they left the building. ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ “I’m gonna miss you while you’re gone.” Sari told her friend quietly as they walked towards the main hangar of the temple. “I’ll only be gone a month Sari. You know you can call me anytime.” Karissa assured her friend. “Besides, I think you’ll have plenty to do while I’m gone.’ She added with a smile. “True. And Micah will be here so that will help.” In the last year Sari had gone through a lot. After testifying at Cutter and Edward’s trial Luke taken her back into the fold, but it hadn’t happened without controversy. Sari had asked that her part in her brother’s deeds not be hidden. To say that her request had come as a surprise was an understatement. A majority of the population thought she was just as guilty as the two men for what had happened to those two women and had wanted her to see prison time also. How the Grandmaster had kept her free she would never know, but it would take a lifetime to pay back his actions and she was prepared to do it. She was also thankful Micah hadn’t turned his back on her. Not that anyone would have blamed him. In fact, all of her friends had welcomed her back with open arms. It had taken her quite a while to accept that she was worthy of their forgiveness and there were times she still struggled with it. Micah had asked for some time and she had been willing to give him as much as he needed. It turned out he hadn’t needed that much. Slowly they had rebuilt their relationship and she felt that it was stronger than ever. They still had a long way to go, her more than him, but she was confident it would happen. Cool air greeted the two young women as they stepped out of the lift onto the hangar floor. Micah and Jarik were talking quietly over to the side as the rest of the group said their goodbyes to the Fels and the Obaths. They walked over to the boys and joined in the conversation and Karissa smiled when Micah draped his arm over Sari’s shoulders. Everything was right with the galaxy finally she told herself as she settled into Jarik’s embrace and listened to her friends’ conversation. ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ “We’ll take care of her while you’re gone. Don’t worry.” Jared assured Kyp and Jade as they all glanced over at Sari standing with their children. Of course Sari had become Kyp’s responsibility when Luke had left, but he couldn’t complain. She was working hard to make up for the wrongs she had done and he knew better than anyone how that worked. Sari had been staying with them considering that Jarik and Micah had gotten their own apartment and they had the extra space. Jag chuckled and everyone’s gaze shot to him. “What?” Jaina asked. “I was just thinking we should all be more worried about the Durrons than the rest of us. I mean, you are taking Karissa on your vacation.” He smirked, earning a smack from his wife and chuckles from the rest of them. “Yeah, that’s right Fel. Your daughter is going to a whole other planet with my son, who also happens to be her boyfriend.” Kyp added, trying to keep the smile off his face as Jag’s smile faded. “Oh, did I mention they’re both consenting adults?” “All right boys. Stop it.” Jaina scolded. “I swear you two will never grow up.” The former senator mumbled as she glared at her husband. ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ Kyp stretched in the pilot’s seat, then settled his lanky form back into the cushions. They’d been underway for about an hour and Jade was checking on the kids at the moment. He heard his wife walk quietly back into the cockpit and when she was next to him and about to sit down in the copilot’s seat, he grabbed her around the waist and pulled her onto his lap. A chuckle escaped him at her small screech and he silenced the sound with his lips. Jade pulled back first, a few minutes later and he smiled at her glare. “The kids are still awake, Kyp.” She scolded him lightly. He scrunched his face up and concentrated. “Galven and Rika are playing a video game and we won’t see them for a couple of hours I’m guessing. The other two…” Kyp raised an eyebrow and started to get up when she stopped him. “Are consenting adults I seem to remember you telling Jag.” “That was just to annoy him. I didn’t think they were gonna actually try anything.” Jade smacked his shoulder and he frowned. “They’re not doing anything but watching a holovid and you know it. They’ll behave because they love you and Jag too much to see you die of a heart attack.” “Sometimes I wonder…” Kyp mumbled as he got comfortable again. They sat in comfortable silence for a while and he wondered if she’d fallen asleep. Her mind was quiet and her breathing even. “Were you well behaved when you were their age?” He asked Jade quietly and heard her chuckle. “Sith no.” She told him. “Good thing we didn’t know each other at that time then.” He joked. “Why?” Jade asked, not raising her head from his chest. “Cause I wasn’t good either.” A quiet snort sounded from her and grunted. “Were you ever good?” She asked, laughter evident in her voice. “Maybe once…” Jade looked up and frowned at him. "Just once?" "Well I had to do something right to get you." ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ Thanks to everyone who's stuck around for the story that turned into a freaking epic! I can't tell you guys how much I appreciate your feedback! While I'm done with Sins I still have Last Name to finish and of course the collab with the Jagateers. I have another J/J story in the works but it might be a while before I post it. Something to look forward to... Love you guys! ~Sab -----signature----- Stories are in my bio! Have at it!

	“Yeah, that’s right Fel. Your daughter is going to a whole other planet with my son, who also happens to be her boyfriend.” Kyp added, trying to keep the smile off his face as Jag’s smile faded. “Oh, did I mention they’re both consenting adults? Give the poor man a heart attack, why don't you? Wonderful ending. I'm glad everything worked out for Sari. Great story, Sab!

	This was a great story and gave me a lot of what i enjoy: Kyp as a dad and grandmaster, his legacy of amusing and interesting children, and a mystery with plenty of tension. I hate when the journeys over, but you write so much i know there will be more to look forward to! -----signature----- Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, with open arms and open eyes.
