Coruscant: Level 1115
Drast had made his way back to Coruscant after his failed meeting on Naboo. What brought him here? Maybe it was the Force. Or maybe, it was the fact he remembered a blonde Ranger a long time ago that offered to help. It seemed like a lifetime ago. So, leaving his purchases from Naboo in a rented locker, he would begin to search for Ranger Velt. He had no idea what to expect. Nothing. With his armor in need of repair, he was back to his old attire, trying to find his way around. "Kriff.. if you were a square jawed Ranger.. where would you be? Probably not in a gilded office like the Chief.. I don't even think they have a station here anymore... So maybe down in the lower levels? With the rest of the action?"
He would make his way around, going from storefront to storefront, asking shopkeeps where to find the nearest Ranger, none of them had even seen a Ranger in months. So he just continued wandering aimlessly.

Taldorak had returned to Coruscant after a few Hutt hunting operations, after all, this was the main area he worked. Though he found himself going to higher levels, recruiting for his crew. Today, was a 'him day'. He schedule was clear so he just walked the streets. Level 1115, he couldn't recall if he had been here before but he was just cruising around. He'd kept seeing the same Jedi on various worlds so he returned home. She mentioned this as her vacation, so surely, he wasn't gonna see her again.
Turning the corner, he cursed silently to himself. He had come close to linking up with her and that Sector Ranger to find more Jedi.. That could have led him many places. But, he never got a call back, so he wasn't too worried about it. He had businesses he was trying to run, a base he was getting running, his own crew forming. Man just didn't have enough time for everything. So maybe, maybe this was best.
Reaching a cafe, Tal would sit at a table, clad in his everyday clothing, not his beskar and just ordered a normal meal. He missed home, maybe that's why he was trying to leave Coruscant. Or.. maybe he just wanted to be his own boss. Hell, even retirement had started to play over and over in his mind. He just thought he could do it, give it all up. He'd done enough fighting. Enough surviving. As he waited for his order, a tattooed young man passed his table. Dark skin, Clan Tattoos. Clan Tattoos? Tal looked up and realized he recognized the kid for two reasons: He had killed some Preef Callo impersonator and the kid had been a witness and.. this was the kid that the Cop was looking for. "Kriff.. me... Guess its time to work.."

Drastus would continue on his trek when his stomach began to growl. "Ooof... so hungry.. I should probably eat something.." he wandered into this cafe, passing a few tables along the way. He would get an order of eggs and bacon with some toast. It shouldn't take too long. He would sit at the table and pull out a small holo of him and Lani. It had been taken during one of their adventures. Before the accidents, the failures. He was going to do it this time. It had been far too long and he knew what he wanted.
The food was set down and he offered a smile. "Thanks." digging in, he'd eat rather ravenously. He was so hungry he could die.
Tal would finish his meal and sat there, drinking some beer as he watched the kid. He almost felt bad. A kid, caught in the middle. A means to an end. Then he pulled out the holo of some girl, and Tal remembered her from the lineup of kids that the officer was looking for. "Poor bastard.. Hopefully she isn't using you with those pheromones." he would drain his beer and just wait. Let the kid have that meal before he took him out.
After about fifteen minutes, Drast's plate was empty and he was on the move. He left a nice tip then down the stairs he went. It was time to find a cop. Drast would turn down a side street, checking his surroundings before continuing his trek. So far, so good. He would take maybe two dozen steps before he was out of view of the street and that was when he felt it. The first stun blast. He jerked forward from the first impact then as he turned, he'd catch two more stun rings to the torso and dropped to the pavement.
Tal would step over to the kid then crouched beside him. "Sorry kid. Just business." he'd activate his comm. "Connect me with Ranger HQ, Lt. Velt. Tell him the hunter from the Cafe, found who he was looking for."
