Description
Gold left her office in the Montal Corporation's Command Center as their headquarters were known. For some reason, Gold was happy. Happier than she has been in a long time. And it wasn't just her. She could feel happiness all around the Command Center. Her mother must have closed on that new droid factory that Czerka was so desperate to get rid of. The Montal Corp needed the increased construction capacity for the MU-SO series they were getting ready to build for the navy.
As Gold walked down the corridor, feeling her way using the Force like the Faceless One had taught her, she began to dance. It was no wanton dance, but instead was a joyous one. She knew that some of the employees were watching her, but she didn't care. She'd not been this happy in years. Gold also felt four strong Force presences approaching. It was her mother, the baby, and two of her sisters. Gold almost stumbled when she realised who the sisters were.
"Would you look at that?" Lily said with a chuckle. "Dancing around like some stripper."
"Ha!" Gold laughed off Lily's jab. "There's no way your negative ass is going to drag me down, Red. I'm in too good a mood."
"And that good mood is why were here." Magenta told her.
"Well before you tell me, put that blaster away."
The woman glanced at the twins, Lily and Peenk. They rolled their eyes.
"What are you talking about?" Peenk asked in confusion.
"I'm talking about the blaster Mother must have pointed at the two of you to keep you from fighting." Gold was grinning now.
"We're just here to deliver some very good news to you." Her mother said quietly.
"Did someone bring Matt back to life and kill him again?" Gold asked with a giggle.
"Better. We found Zind." Gold stopped dancing. "And Stefan is bringing him home."
"Matt had something to do with his disappearance, didn't he?" The short woman was now shaking slightly.
"Yes. Zell found a reference on the datapad to a former Imperial slave broker. Stefan had a talk with him and found out where Zind was taken. He was sold to an illicit mining operation Czerka was running."
"He's been a slave for three years?"
"Well, no." Peenk said. "Stefan said that Zind and three others escaped eight months ago, and have been fighting a guerrilla war against Czerka and their Forn thugs."
"Has anyone called his parents? They'll be ecstatic." Gold fought to stay calm.
"They've been told. And they are very proud of him. As you should be." Her mother whispered to Gold.
"Just think." Lily said as she put a hand on her shoulder. "This time tomorrow, you'll be together again."
"No, we will not. I'm going into the hospital tonight. The new Federation doctors said they can have the brain damage repaired in two or three days. So you are to keep Zind away from me until it's over. When we meet again, I want to be able to see him. So you three promise me you'll keep him away. Please?"
Still having trouble with internet. The neighbors are getting upset about it too. Hopefully they'll have it fixed tomorrow.
