Portrait of Jedi Master Innocenti, By Velasco
Preef Zaa Fenn had been forcing Kara to learn all she could about Marissa Zaa Fenn, the former crimelord of the Zaa Fenn Crime Family that she wanted to replace in the not so distant future. Their early days, running jobs for the Crimson Dawn and Black Sun respectfully, were the most notable. Canto Bight casino heists, breaking people from FWA prison ships, raiding Sector Ranger's evidence rooms and robbing armored corporate trains. It was that last one that made Kara notice something. Marissa had been a fan of the Nabooan painter Velasco and said something about it in her personal log around that time:
"I managed to secure a viewing of Velasco's Portrait of Jedi Master Innocenti, but its current owner Morto the Hutt could scarcely string together a worthwhile sentence about it. More credits than taste."
That got her thinking. She knew a Hutt that went by Morto here on Nar Shaddaa. He paid tribute to Nor'baal Desilijic, which everyone did in the Hutt Cartel, so she had at some point heard Preef say something about the particular Hutt and his Museum of Greed. Apparently Morto was known to hoard precious art he had no idea what emotional or cultural value they held. A painting by Velasco, to the right buyer, was worth an immeasurable fortune. Perhaps even the Theed Royal Museum on Naboo would lay down a wealth the size of which Kara had never seen.
That's not what she wanted it for, though. No, the Portrait of Jedi Master Innocenti would be a gift to Preef. A surprise. Which meant she couldn't exactly ask him or his for help either. That's where an old associate came in. Crix Dolan. The Devil of Denon. Rumored to be part of the Crimson Dawn now and if there was anything they were good at it was retrieving artefacts.
So right now she sat in the back of her electronics shop 'Rache Robotics' and waited for him to arrive.
