Oooh, sorry you're sick, Kitara. It's a rotten time of year to be sick. (But then, is there really ever a good time?)

What took you so long?” Maeve demanded, tugging up the sagging neckline of her low-cut dress. Her three companions–Grey Wolf, Far Lao, and the Arabic-looking one whose name I couldn’t pronounce–watched interestedly. -- me thinks the boys have been on Earth too long... but then they are still male. 
OOhhhh, I know who it is... I know who it is.....
Finally the discovery I've been waiting for.
Excellent post Frosty.. well worth the wait. Glad you're all settled and can back to more important things like fanfic!

Why, thank 'ee much, Leona. Hopefully I can kick the plot and make it finish before such things happen as getting a job...:D Gosh, I hate small college towns--at least so far as finding employment is concerned.

She stood confidently, wearing Jedi robes of some dark blue material. A pair of lightsaber hilts adorned her belt. Physically, she was the same, though she wore her hair in a long braid rather than her usual bun. All at once, the Jedis’ reason for choosing Baker Street as their base over their Haven became clear.
Mrs. Hudson eyed Holmes and I with an expression of mingled amusement and regret. “I’d hoped you would never have to know,” she said. “But I’m afraid our common enemies forced the issue.”
***
The timely arrival of Lord W– and several of his carriages solved the immediate problem of transportation. They were driven by those Jedi who had not been captured or on the rescue team.
Mrs. Hudson and MacEiver rode with Holmes and me. I found that I was acutely uncomfortable in her presence. The shock had yet to wear off. I wasn’t sure it ever would. At Mrs. Hudson’s directions, we were to go to Haven, even though there was almost certainly a ‘surprise’ waiting there for us, courtesy of the traitor.
Ah, the traitor. I was fairly certain I knew who it was–not through any Holmesian deductions, but the simple process of counting noses. There were now only two Jedi not with the group. One was dead: Holmes had seen the body. The other...
“I wouldn’t have thought it would be him,” I muttered.
Holmes lifted his eyebrows. “Why not?”
“He seemed so–so friendly. Cheerful, really.”
Mrs. Hudson sighed. “I have long feared there was something going on with him. I confess, though, I did not believe he would fall to the Dark Side.”
Derry. The traitor was Derry, that round-faced, amiable Jedi who had greeted me with such cheery good-will the night of our rescue. It was difficult to believe. He had been much absent from Baker Street of late, though I had thought nothing of it. None of us had, really. The Jedi had been in an out so much on various tasks that no one had really marked his absence.
Until tonight.
My associate lounged indolently in his seat, fingers steepled. “Didn’t you?” he asked. “I am not particularly surprised.”
MacEiver’s gaze was accusing. “You knew?”
“Not the precise identity, but if you will recall I have believed in the existence of a traitor all along. However, while planning this rescue I sat down with Ben and profiled all the Jedi here. All the Jedi I knew of,” he amended, shooting an unreadable glance at Mrs. Hudson. “In the end, the only one to fit the mold was Derry. Outwardly eager to help, but reclusive. Do you know the reason he was sent here to Earth, MacEiver?”
MacEiver glanced at Mrs. Hudson. “No, I don’t.”
She folded her arms. “But I did. I should have seen it coming.”
“Well,” said Holmes. “I rather imagine you had other things on your mind...such as maintaining your cover with a houseful of your subordinates?”
I frowned. Holmes’ voice was even, but there was an odd note in it. The dim interior of the carriage made reading his expression difficult.
“This is hardly the time or the place to discuss that, Mr. Holmes,” Mrs. Hudson said reprovingly.
“Oh, I’m not really interested in discussing it.”
He was angry, I realized. Very angry. I suppose I couldn’t really blame him; if I stopped and considered it, I was a bit angry myself. Mrs. Hudson had been a trusted part of both our lives for many years, only to learn now that she had, essentially, been a lie.
“Mr. Holmes–”
“What I am interested in discussing, Mrs. Hudson, is the truth. The real reason Derry has ‘fallen to the Dark Side’.”
“I’m sure I don’t know what you mean, Mr. Holmes.”
“Don’t you?” Holmes was purring now, at his most dangerous. I put a hand on his arm, in warning. He was in a rare mood, and there was no telling what he might say. He shook my hand away. “MacEiver knows what I mean, don’t you?”
MacEiver twitched. “What?”
“I think you’d better explain, Holmes,” Mrs. Hudson said coldly.
“I once asked Qui-Gon Jinn what, precisely, the Jedi were doing on a planet so far from your Republic’s borders. He told me a very smooth story about the ‘Galactic Anthropological Society.’ I didn’t quite believe him. Oh, it’s a plausible story, and it may even be partly true–but that does not really explain the need for so many Jedi.”
“If you spoke to Qui-Gon, then no doubt he also explained that this planet is a refuge for Jedi in difficulties,” MacEiver said, his voice stern.
“Indeed. And yet, there is more. For example: the mysterious manner in which my informant Rat died. You were disturbed by it. Why? Because he was killed by a Jedi, at a distance, with the Force. And yet you were absolutely certain none of your people was in that area that night. We discussed this, if you will recall, the first time I suggested there might be a traitor.”
MacEiver shuffled his feet on the carriage floor and said nothing.
“But Rat was, beyond doubt, killed by a Jedi, or someone very like a Jedi,” Holmes continued. “From what you have told me of this ‘Force’, such action must be performed at fairly close range, within line of sight. Unless...” He trailed off. “Do you care to finish that ‘unless’, MacEiver? Mrs. Hudson? No? Very well.
“Such a thing cannot be done at far range unless, somehow, the Jedi has enhanced his abilities.”

A refuge for Jedi with difficulties... hmmm, not sure if that would be a good thing or a bad thing for us. I love Holmes being angry... though I'm wondering exactly who it would directed at.. Mrs. Hudson for the lie or himself at being so well played??
Superb post Frosty!!
