It was a late and dreary rain that fell outside. The two were sitting in a small diner on a Corellian night, a few people were there but not too many as it was nearing closing time. She sat down and shared a conversation with him over a few mugs of caffeinated warmth.
It was rough back than, she was younger and he was more ignorant. She remembered it was raining, much like tonight. How in the world they managed to get out of there alive was a miracle of the force. They weren't part of any special operations, no, they'd just been given the mission to investigate sith activity and it escalated into a full blown espionage run.
She thought back-
The night that it all went down. She was dressed tightly in a Jedi robe that she had tailored herself to become an officer's jacket. Her hair was pulled back into a ponytail and was wearing khaki shorts that went down halfway to her knees. Her black boots were padded at the bottom, and made little to no noise scaling the side of the giant tower.
It was difficult to get a grip while rappelling up the side due to the slippery metal and rain. The cord was extended all the way up the side, to the top. If they were to fall, they would end up falling kilometers downwards through the city planet.
They grunted and exerted themselves, pulling at the cord and yanking themselves upwards. Mitya was the first to get onto the roof, she extended a hand and pulled her partner up. They wouldn't have much time to get passed what security was there. Probably patrols, especially atop roofs.
The two let the darkness take them, shrouding their bodies from watchful eyes, pressing their bodies against a shadowed wall. It was about to get sketchy from here on in, with the need for silence.
She peeked her head around the corner, with her hand upwards in a halting signal. "Patrol, coming this way. One female, one male. Let's take em' out quick and quiet.", she whispered back to him.
Their uniforms would make for perfect guises to facade their way through the building. The mission would be easier in the long run with those security keys and the facial masks.
"Stay here, when I give the signal, take your guy out. You'll know the signal when it comes.", she said. She backed up and went around the other side of the wall, there was a ladder leading to the top part of the small utility room that they were leaning on. She'd get a good scope on security farther out and ambush the two. The coast was clear, and she readied herself for a jump.
Breathes went by, moments that seemed so long passed. Her heart rate quickened, adrenaline pumped. They reached the wall. He was probably looking at them from the shadows now. With one last breath before taking the plunge, she dropped down on the girl, she was farthest from him. Her hand covered the mouth and pinched the nose. Her elbow wrapped around her throat as she pulled the patrol off of the ground by her head, cutting off air supply. Mitya would let her partner take care of the other guy.
"Get them in the shadows, quick.", she hastily whispered.
