Cat and Mouse

[Herr Vanderhing]

It was pouring rain on many of the bridge cities of Cato Neimoidia. The sky was dim but the streets were lit ever so elegantly by casino lights, restaurant lights, and neon advertisement lights. Within one of the beautius night clubs of an undefined large bridge city sat three shady figures in the owners private back room. Two Neimoidian one Human and having a rather intense discussion. The human one was sitting on the opposite side of the table beaten and bruised with his head facing downward as he was shivering. The other two Neimoidians were sitting on the other end of the table side by side with two battle droids standing around them. One of the two was one of the worst crime lords in all of Cato Neimoidia: Herr Vanderhing. He sat glaring at the shivering individual before him and gritting his teeth. The other sat on Vanderhing's right side was Genf Orkay, Vanderhing's right hand he merely sat and listened. They all sat in silence for several minutes before Vanderhing slammed his hand on the table and shouted in his usual shaking voice

"WHERE'S MY MONEY!?!?"

"I-I-I don't know!"

Vanderhing didn't have the typical Neimoidian accent that his fellow species had, well he did but it was more muffled mixed in with the shakyness of his voice and a somewhat "normal" human accent. Vanderhing then stood up and walked to the side of the Human then slammed his head on the table twice. Vanderhing turned around and said as he sat down

"You know what? Let's have that roast now! Do you want some Genf?"

Orkay merely waved his hand and shaked his head in disgust and Vanderhing called over the waiter with two roasts and a glass of whine and two plates. The waiter cut a piece of both roasts and placed them on the plate in front of the human. Vanderhing then looked at the human and said

"Try them. Tell me which one tastes better."

The Human still sat with his head down. Vanderhing was visibly annoyed and shouted

"EAT. IT."

The human shivered and reluctantly took a bite of one of the small cut pieces then the other. His face showed the disgust he had from the taste.

"They're horrible"

Vanderhing giggled and said

"Ehehehehe!Really?! You don't like either?"

The humans head shook as Vanderhing stood up and shoved his finger into one of the roasts licked his finger and started laughing even louder than before.

"I thought that your DAUGHTER would have tasted better than your SON! Ahahahahahaaa!!!"

The humans head went upward his entire body was shuddering and his head was shaking as he softly said

"no"

Then louder

"No"

Then gradually louder

"no no no No No No No NO NO NO NOOOO!!!!"

Then finally blaster fire was heard by the restaurant customers, followed by a loud thump, and then a loud and sinister cackle

"EYAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!"

 

[Falius Imagun]

The somewhat young Jedi could hear the shot from behind the night club, in an alleyway whilst traveling the planet of Cato Nemodia. Falius had come here to do his best to help clean up the greedy, dirty, and abhorrent nature of this planet. It was his duty as a practitioner of the force to do so, and so far he had not been successful. In an attempt to negotiate between a head of a large zoning commission and some local home owner immigrants which ended in a organized crime related hit on sed immigrants. So torn about what had happened he had begun to think, to really think. If he wanted to bring peace and harmony to this world he would have to strike at the heart of it's darkness, the organized crime center of the planet.

When he heard the shot he rushed to the nearest entrance to the building, busting through the door he passed through a back room full of dancers on break, pushing them out of the way he entered the main room where many could be seen taking advantage of their stature in this dark side of the world. The Padawan used the force to try and place the origination of the blaster shot, it was hazy, but he had a direction. This direction led him to a door, one with a title on it, Owner's Room; Keep out!. Falius wasn't one to normally break rules, but when the greater good required it, he would, and this was one of those equations. He opened the door with the force, substantially draining him of his energy, to see two Nemodians with a slumped human corpse besides them, Falius took a deep breath, and said neutrally, "Killing is wrong you know, it is not the way of the force. I recommend you stop this path and follow a more, peaceful one."

[Herr Vanderhing]

When the carcass slammed on to the table Herr Vanderhing merely decided to start eating the roast much to the disgust of Genf Orkay. Genf was slightly annoyed by the fact that it was Herr Vanderhing whom fired the shot and not him. He feared constantly that the wrong person would see or hear his boss' somewhat questionable acts and get them both arrested instead of only Orkay being arrested. Orkay then verbalized his concerns to Vanderhing

"You know you really shouldn't be so regularly and carelessly commiting such crimes. The wrong person could see or hear this then it's all over"

The other Neimoidian merely patted his face with a napkin and stated calmly but firmly

"You know there are five members of the Republic Police force out there, one judge, and I'd wager that the governor might be out there to though unlikely. And not single one cares about what I did to that scum-sucking thief or his dirty children. I know this, you should know this, nearly everyone knows this! Now will you quit whining Genf and eat some roast?!"

Orkay waved the offer off and hushed up until the door opened and a young human in robes rushed in and shocked the Neimoidians. He said something about killing being wrong and the way of the force which both Neimoidians found to be utter nonsense but both were staring jaw dropped at the human. "Doesn't he know who owns this place, where he is, and whom he's talking to?!?" They both thought silently until Herr Vanderhing broke the awkward silence with a sinister chuckle and said

"The way of the force!?" His voice got shakier and louder "The force hasn't given ME OR ANYONE I KNOW SPIT!!!" He chuckled again and said "So tell me oh great humanitarian of the force who would be stupid to barge in here unannounced and ruin my business meeting?"

Anyone could detect the sarcasm in Vanderhing's voice from a mile away and Vanderhing went back to eating his roast and awaited the response of the fool who walked into his meeting
