Dolan chewed on the inside of his lower lip as the lift descended into the bowels of the ISB headquarters on Raxus. He’d been gearing up to join his wingmates on a mission to hunt down a group of pirates, but instead he was told by their commanding officer to return to Raxus. Luckily, Jacen had a substantial hyperspace jump to cool his jets. He was dressed in his flight suit, minus the helmet, he’d been told this was urgent, so he figured he didn’t need to be dressed in his Class A uniform.
The lift door’s hiss’d open and he stepped out, flanked by two Peacekeepers. Dolan couldn’t put his finger on it, but there was something off about the guys who flanked him. They carried the air of cocksure pirates instead of the prototypical by the book discipline of Imperial Law Enforcement.
Everything he’d learned over the course of his life, told him to pull his weapons and run. This was starting to feel like he was being marched to his execution. He kept his anxiety in check as they reached the end of the corridor. The Peacekeeper on his left stepped forward and pressed a fob to the security panel. The light changed from white to red and the door opened.
The room was as nondescript as any he’d seen within the confines of an Imperial base. It carried a sterile air about it. Grey durasteel walls lined with column lights, pristine black floors, and an all white ceiling.
Home sweet, home, he thought.
The same “Peacekeeper” that let them in, gestured to a seat and said, “Sit there.”
Jacen’s half-lidded baby blue slid from the officer to the chair and then back before to took a seat. The taste of blood in his mouth let him know he was still chewing on the inside of his lip. So much for stowing his anxiety.
The Peacekeeper’s took up positions on each side of the door, while Jacen waited for whatever was about to happen.
