	Jaya Solo: Hehe. I love Janson. Me too! Aw. He’s so cute. He wants his little boy to date, settle down, and be happy. Too bad he picked someone too alike him. loL! Quite Poor Corran. Parents can be super embarrassing. lol! No kidding! Wow, Corran just sounded like he was two! Hehehee, amazing how embarrasment can take 19 years off your life. She’ll be a great mom! Hehehe she will! Heh. Parents. My dad thought I liked the guys that were my friends, but the guy that was my friend that I actually did like, he didn’t notice that we started dating until about two months into the relationship. Men. :: sigh :: lol! Tell me about it! Awesome post! Hehehhe nice son-of-kenobi: lol...hal thinking of corran's wife!!! great post really classy! RedGold: First Person Narrative can be rather tricky at times, but you do it so well! Awww blushes Thanks I love Hal's thoughts on the Jedi, Obi-Wan and Iella. Thank you :-D Arin_Atona: Typical fighterjockeys. Hehehe I really doubt "flat" would be the word that first came to Hal's mind... and I know* it's not the word Booster would be thinking.* Now really, these boards are PG. AvenKiel: YAY!! I can't wait for Mirax!! She's always been one of my favorite characters!! Great post, can't wait for more! Thanks! Glad you're excited SweetPea: Oooo, Mirax is coming! Hehehhee but of course! Hmmmm, I imagine fitting in with the Rebels will be an adjustment for Hal. I wonder what will happen with him and Han...and Mirax for that matter. Ooh yes...and of course there's Lando too. I'm more worried about Booster though... jade51999: Oh Ho... Daddy likes Iella eh? Shakes head, give Mirax a chance... That girl rocks! lol! Yes, we'll see... RebelMom: Hal and Corran get along rather well. I like that Corran thinks about his grandfather's safety. they do work well together. Thanks :-D They do Janson's comment about Nurse Hobbie was great. Poor Hal - he's trying to marry off his son, but he's hoping he'll hook up with the wrong woman. I loved the banter with Corran, Hal and Iella near the end. Hehehhe thanks More soon? Possibly Myri_Antilles: <dances around, snickering about the thought of Corran and IELLA> hehehehhehehehhe -----signature----- "You may marry a hutt if you like, just don't expect me to brag about my cute grandchildren."

	Chapter Six Soon after we met up with Iella, I was taken away by Intelligence officers for interrogation. I was expecting some sort of investigation and security protocol, and at the very least, my bags would be checked. Corran had all ready earned their trust, so the night before we landed, he decided to harbor my saber, and had tried to get a hold on my collection of holos, but I didn't trust him to not toss a certain few. He thinks my priorities are skewed, but how am I to be the proper father at his wedding if I have nothing to give his wife to laugh at? The concept terrifies me. What he truly doesn't understand is that with everything I have lost to the Empire, anything I can hold on to now of my family is precious to me. Due to the inherent dangers, I was unable to keep any letter, holo, message, or gifts my father gave to me. I wasn't even able to keep his name. He’s never been appreciative of the holos I took when he tried to cut his hair with Nyche's manicure scissors, but the proud look he has on his face is priceless, as well as the half bald spots on his head. I can still remember the look in Nyche's eyes when she found him, and how she looked so torn between laughing or crying. He had beamed at me, telling me he now had a Corsec cut like me. I imagine it might have been easier to catch criminals with my haircut similarly -they'd be too busy laughing to run. And every kid runs through the house naked sometime in his life. It is also far better to be caught getting into your mother's make up when you are four than fourteen. Although I do seem to remember him wearing his date's lipstick a couple times when he came home. I'd always tried to gesture for him to wipe it off before his mother saw, but he always was in a haze after his dates. Girls seemed to make him not think straight, and I had a few holos to memorialize that for his future wife. I wondered if he feared Iella might get a glance at them. Although she, Antilles and Corran spoke for me, I was still to be subjected to interrogation. Due to my connection to Corran and Iella, I was to meet with Airen Cracken, after my bags had been searched and following a brief background check. I was escorted to a conference room, with only a guard outside the door for company, if I yelled loud enough. Waiting patiently, refusing to pace or drum my fingers on the table, I debated the course I was going to plot. So far I was at an impasse. I wanted to be trusted by the Rebellion, but at the same time, I wasn't willing to trust them. I was, however, more excited than I have been in a long time. Part of it was likely due to my inherent recklessness, but mostly, I was happy that after all these years, I was finally fighting back. I was in the room long enough to wonder if my patience was being tested, but having been a Jedi and Detective, it wasn't a tough challenge for me. The door to the room opened, and a tall man with white hair shocked with red and sea green eyes entered. He nodded to me. "Good afternoon, Captain Horn." I returned the nod. "General." Cracken came around the table and sat across from me, setting his datapad on it. "I understand you wish to join the Alliance." "I do." "Why?" Cracken asked, raising an eyebrow. Guess there had to be someone else in the galaxy as blunt as me. I followed suit. "Corran." Cracken nodded, looking to his datapad, which I assumed probably had a profile he'd created on me. "I see. Care to go into more detail?" "I've considered it before, but my family's safety was always paramount. By joining with you, he helped me to come to the realization that it was time to take a stand against the Empire," I answered simply. "Iella Wessiri spoke well of you." I smiled. "She's a good judge of character." Cracken tilted his head. "I've come to that conclusion myself. She also mentioned that you were one of Corsec's best detectives." One of? Hm. "I had the best instructor." "Your father." "That's right." Cracken was silent for a moment, considering. "Antilles had a few things to say about you as well." I nodded. "Yes, I'll bet he did." "He mentioned that you kept an eye on him back during his smuggling days," Cracken said, watching me carefully. "I didn't want to see him waste his life away," I answered slowly. "And I feared he had when he took up with Booster Terrik, but it seems as though I was wrong." Cracken raised his eyebrows. "So your opinion of him has changed." I shook my head. "More like I was glad it didn't have to. I always held him in high regard, even more so now, seeing the leader he has become." "Interesting," Cracken said, focusing his attention on his data pad. "Your Corsec records are fairly clean, so far as what has been reported." As much as it was important for me to do the right thing, it was crucial that I attracted as little attention to myself as possible. It was also imperative that I did not break the very laws I worked to enforce. "That's right." "I understand you worked under your father, Rostek Horn." I nodded. "Is he aware of your joining the Alliance?" Cracken asked, steadily meeting my gaze. "He is aware only of my resignation." Cracken nodded, looking back to his data pad and studying it, allowing a few minutes of silence. Finally, he asked me, "What would you want to do for the Alliance?" Even though it seemed he was getting more ready to accept me, I knew the interrogation was far from over. If I were a spy, I'd have a specific area in which I wished to serve. I smiled. "Whatever is needed most." "Oh?" Cracken asked, settling back against his chair. "We're in desperate need of maintenance workers." "I'm a pretty hot hand with a mop and bucket." He nodded, smiling slightly. "Iella Wessiri recommended you for Intel." "And you, General, are trying to trap me," I answered smoothly. Cracken nodded again. "Seems I'll need to remember not to underestimate you." He stroked his chin. "We'll need to isolate you for a few days until we're certain you can be trusted. But of course you were expecting that." "Of course." "You should find your lodging for that time fairly comfortable." So I was to be detained. "Will I be allowed visitors?" Cracken cocked his head. "I'll be dropping by from time to time so you won't lack for company." Apparently, he was wanting me to bring up Corran on my own. "I'll look forward to it." "Glad to hear it." I was growing tired of talking in circles, and with the way things were going, I could end up spending all of my isolation time in this room with the General. "And what of my son?" "He's gotten along fine on his own for six months. I'm sure he can survive a few more days," Cracken answered simply. True enough, but he hadn't been a Jedi apprentice then. At this moment in training, a few days separation could at the least set him back, and at the most...lead him to do something incredibly stupid. I decided to play the protective father card. "Doesn't mean I don't want to see him." Cracken nodded. "Understandable, but no." "Is there anyway to arrange it?" "You'd have to give me a blasted good reason, Horn." I pursed my lips. Other than the truth, there wasn't much else I could think of, but I wanted to get away with mentioning as little as possible. "It could be dangerous for him." Cracken looked at me skeptically. "I'll need more information than that." I was expecting that. But, I wasn't certain how much I wanted to reveal to this man. For one thing, we'd just met, and though I thought him to be trustworthy, I couldn't be sure. Also, I didn't know how he was going to take the news. I doubted if the Rebellion had a single cell in any of their ships that could hold me, and he was likely to be aware of that as well. So he was going to have to trust me to stay put. I didn't know if he was ready for that, and would prefer drugging me into complacency. I fought the urge to drum my fingers on my lap. He was going to have to trust me on my word, and I on his. I wasn't certain if that was possible for Intel officers. Well, no one ever achieved anything by being too afraid to try. I took a deep breath. "Can I count on your confidence?" Cracken steepled his fingers. "Depends on how it would affect the Alliance." It was a good, honest answer, and I sat for a moment, deciding on my words. "I'm training him to be a Jedi Knight." -----signature----- "You may marry a hutt if you like, just don't expect me to brag about my cute grandchildren."

	I thought I'd reiterate how I like the thoughts Hal has about his holos. I can understand where he's coming from. Memories are important and to have them captured on film is priceless. It's really nice that he still has some even if he couldn't keep any from his Knighthood days. -----signature----- Short Story: Pressure Point http://boards.theforce.net/beyond_the_saga/b10477/26961243/p1/?7 Jacen Solo and Anakin Skywalker - as it should have been.
