As Jorg eased a breath, he looked around. "Where is she?" Vizan's face fell. Jorg grabbed his wrist."She can't be, I was there longer. It should have been me." Vizan bowed his head.
" She wasn't strong enough. They couldn't save her."
Jorg swallowed hard against his grief." How long?" His brother took a shakey breath."She didn't last the night. That was two days ago." Vizan turned as his brother's grief became more then he could bare. Jorg caught at his brother's sleeve, his eyes wide with pleading. " They have to be lying. They have to be." Vizan gripped his brother's hand gently. " No. I was there brother. She just sighed and was gone. We didn't even know her name." Jorg's lips trembled in a whisper as if in prayer. " Morgan. Her name is....was Morgan." Jorg's throat convulsed over it, as he came to the reality of knowing for him there would be no other.
Master's Kala, Steai and Manni, rode out with the two women and the corpse. Zori narrowed her eyes at her now similarly tattooed partner." Why didn't you tell them she wasn't dead? " Fie frowned as she kept an eye on the chilled container." Did you really want her used for their gains? " Zori responded with a frown of her own. " The jedi aren't like that-well not all. And what about h-i-m?" Fie's eyes narrowed and her anger flared. " What about him? He's a Mando. sooner or later he'd have used her. This way we can take her home." Zori looked at her as if she was deranged. "Home? We don't even know where that is. And what about us? We got these shinny new badges but no idea what we've stepped into." Fie smirked. "Why do you think Old dog head still sniffing around? He knows more then he's letting on.That and I don't think he trusts us or he's a little jealous." Zori snorted. "Over what? These?" she pointed their tattoos. Fie groweled. "At least you got one thats useful. All I can do is change into a damn fox."
Zori pressed her lips together. " So you think he can help us?" Fie shrugged her shoulders. "He's so far the only chance we've got. Otherwise, I guess we'll learn as we go." Zori snorted and rolled her eyes." Oh that's just great." Fie smiled as they stopped to register for the transport. "Yeah isn't it."
"Time we got back to business. Our people still need us to come through for them." Vizan heard Jorg say as he pulled the curtains wide open. "One day awake and its back to business as usual. " Immediately he knew he'd said the wrong thing."What do you want me to do? Didn't I spent enough time on my back, in between life and death. I have no wish to relive it any time soon." His brother's voice was now colder, revealing that it wasn't just Morgan who'd paid the price. It seemed that Red had captured his brother's heart and had taken it with her into death. Leaving this cold, empty, duty ladened shell behind.
Tracker and the two women opted to stay with the body as it was put into the transports haul. Manni eyed the 3 suspiciously, but followed the master and his friend up into the passenger's compartment. " Lil' fox is right. It is best that she has gone to ground. Even the best intentions can lead one down the dark path." Tracker said trying to calm Zori's guilt." What happens when she wakes? I really don't think she'll appreciate your-our efforts. Especially about that prince." Zori reminded them that Morgan hadn't gone so silently into the lock down. She had said the bodyguard's name. Proving a most definite connection. Tracker growled and folded his arms." The Pathbourne is weak and does not know enough." As his people's long and legendary history had been nearly wiped out by the Mandalorian's ancestors. Zori shook her head. "I don't know. He seemed truly upset at her passing." Fie snorted. "Missed a conquest. Trust me. Men no matter who they are, are all the same. They use, abuse and toss away when they are done with you. Only that with her powers, he would have dumped her on the front lines."
