Still working on it, guys. But I'm in a bit of a panic spiral since my mom just called to tell me that my brother AND uncle have come into town, and that whole evening's worth of free time I envisioned for tomorrow night has suddenly gone up in smoke.
It might not matter. I might still be able to pull it out before the deadline. Let's see though.
Am still actively working on it though. For real.

Nothing like a surprise visit from hordes of relatives, eh?
Good luck, then, SR, and here's a cup of cocoa to help you relax, you're gonna need it!

Yeah!! We are finally going to find out Han's fate. I'm going to have to go back and reread the last few chapters.

Okay, I wasn't able to do the fully developed long-ass post that I was envisioning in my head. I do however have an itty bitty baby post I could put up in a couple of hours (I've been out of the house all day, and I need to run out again to meet brother at restaurant), so would you guys want me to put that up? I'm sorry it won't be as long as I wanted it to be, but would you still want to see it? Or should I take longer?
Anyways, I'll be back in a few, so if any reader sees this and has an opinion let me know.
Cool. Cool.
SR

All right, here it is. Again I apologize for the shortness, I did want to do more. And if it's a little rough drafy, well....shoot. I'm really rusty at this. Anyways, hopefully this is the start of much better things for me and this fic.
Oh, and I ran through and tried to take out all the bad language, but I'm in a mad rush, so if I accidentally overlooked something please don't ban me. Thanks.
Anyways, here you are!!
The area surrounding the Millennium Falcon was in chaos.
The drone of excited voices hung heavily over the massive hangar, as pilots and personnel pushed to get a better view of the ship. Spacers, with their renown appetite for the dramatic, had begun to crowd around the Falcon at the first sign of trouble. Many of them were already speculating on what had happened. "There was a price on his head," they whispered, and there was almost a perverse delight in some of their voices. "Nah, Solo's such a cad," others argued, "I bet a jealous husband finally caught up with him." One pilot had sworn that he had heard there were stolen goods in the smuggling compartment.
But even with all the speculation, the tension in the air was almost palpable.
Leia Organa pushed her way through the milling bodies, mentally steeling herself for whatever lay ahead. She felt removed from all the surrounding chaos, the only thing grounding her was the bitter taste of fear on her tongue. She blocked out the voices of the excited pilots. She saw only the ship.
As the princess drew closer to the Millennium Falcon, the crowd got even thicker, and she had to physically shove her way past several pilots. "Let me through," she demanded impatiently, her diplomatic manners long gone. A few of them gave her a strange look, but they all attempted to clear her way.
It was a familiar howl that finally cut through the agitated murmur, and Leia looked up to notice the dark form of a wookiee looming over the heads of the crowd. He appeared to be shouting angrily at someone. "Chewie!" She cried out desperately, "Chewie!"
Suddenly, the wookiee's head turned and their eyes met. <Princess!> Chewbacca called, and the white faced pilot took an opportunity to slink away. <Princess!> Chewie hastily started pushing the last of the pilots out of her path. <We've been trying to contact you!> He gently grabbed her arm and led her the final steps toward the ship.
"Chewie," she gasped, as he stopped her in front of the boarding ramp. "What's going on here? Where's Han? Where‘s Bailey?"
<I just got here myself->
Leia shook her head in startled confusion, "but what-? Where's Han?"
The wookiee's grip was tight on her shoulders. He stared at her imploringly. <Something's happened.>
Leia immediately shot a look up the ramp of the falcon. "What? What's happened?" She began to pull out of Chewbacca's grip. "What's happened, Chewie? Is it Bailey?"
<No, it's not Bailey,> he said, fighting to keep his own voice steady. His arms seemed to shake with suppressed grief as he gently tightened his grip on the princess. <But there's a lot of blood, and Han->
"What?" Leia's voice rang with alarm, and she tried to pull away from the wookiee again. "What's happened? What's happened to Han?"
<I'll try to explain everything, but it's better if you don't go up there yet--.>
"Chewie, tell me!"
He soberly met her eye. <Han's been shot, Princess.>
Leia felt her legs weaken beneath her. "Oh, Gods," she moaned, and suddenly the corners of her vision began to waver.
<Some pilots tried to help him, but they're not doctors, they didn't know-->
The princess pulled herself out of Chewbacca's grip. "Where is he?" She demanded, "where's Han? Let me see him. I can help."
<We finally got in touch with the meds, they should be on their way.>
"If it's a blaster wound, I can help!" Leia reminded him shrilly, "both of us. We can help him. We've been in battle, we know what to do!"
<I have tried to help, Princess!] The Wookiee barked impatiently, finally hearing her pleas. [I've done my best with the wound and we’ve steadied the bleeding, but it still might not be enough--!>
"If it's not enough, then let me up there! I'll help him!"
<It's the blasted meds, no one called them!> Chewie was screaming again, and he turned his words accusingly on the crowd surrounding the Falcon. <It was a damn chaos scene in there, there's a man bleeding to death on the floor, and no one thought to make sure to call a BLASTED doctor!-->
Bleeding to death.…
Leia placed a hand over her mouth, as the words quickly sunk in. "Oh, Gods...."
<…I’ll find who did this, Princess. I swear to you, I will…!>
Leia just stood their silently for a moment, her gaze distant and unfocused. "I..." she shot another look up the boarding ramp, and then turned pleadingly to the wookiee. "Chewie," she said, and her eyes widened as a terrifying thought occurred to her. “Where’s Bailey?”
<I don’t know--> He saw the princess stiffen, and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. <But he’s okay!>He insisted, <The mechanic saw another pilot take him off the ship. He’s all right. They just wanted to get him away from all this.>
Leia nodded numbly, allowing herself to feel a flash of relief at this news. But it was short-lived, as her eyes came to rest on Chewbacca’s chest and noticed the flecks of blood that marred his fur. It set something off in her. “I--“ Bile rose in her throat. She had to get up there. She had to help Han. “Chewie,” she said, her voice filled with resolve. “Find Bailey.”
<I’m sure he’s fine- -> He gestured up the ramp, <But, Han-->
“Chewie, find him.” Leia gave him a hard look. “For me. Make sure he’s okay.” She read the wookiee’s hesitancy and added, “Han would want you to.”
The wookiee straightened and nodded in grim understanding. <Of course, Princess. I’ll find him.> He once again tried to reassure her, <I’m sure he’s fine. Scared, but fine.>
Leia nodded vaguely at this, and then her attention flew up to the entrance of the ship. “I have to go,” was all she said to him, before sprinting up the ramp.
Han needed her.
***To be continued... (I swear!!!)
I know, I know, Han's still bleeding. Please don't kill me. 
EDIT: GRRRRR.....it won't let me update the heading of this fic! D'oh!!!! I was psyched to see the "Updated 7/10!" myself!
