Padme was in deep meditation, when she heard a light tap on the door. Getting up from the middle of the bed, she went to the door and opened it up to find Sandrah standing there.
Lady Sandrah, can I help you? Padme opened the door further and she noticed that Sandrah was very nervous about something.
Am sorry to bother you, but . . . Sandrah looked around to make sure that Doctor Fremont was not watching her.
Come inside. Can I help you with something? Padme offered the young lady to come inside the cottage.
Um, thank you . . . The only reason why I am here, is to warn you that you are not safe here. All I know is, if you keep bothering Doctor Fremont, he will do something to you. What, I do not know . . . This is for you, and whatever you do, do not give it to the Chancellor. There is something very evil about him, but give it to the Jedi Council, and to a Senator that you can trust. Sandrah put her hand into her pocket and pulled out a small data chip and handed it over to Padme.
Thank you, and I will do as you said. was all Padme said, as she looked down at the small chip that was in her hand.
Before Padme could say anything more to the doctors assistant, she was gone. There was a knock on the door. Padme went over to the door, opened it up and saw Master Yoda.
Master Yoda, please come in. Um, did you see Lady Sandrah out there? Padme bowed her head slightly and stepped aside, so the Grand Master Jedi could come inside the cottage.
Felt something here, I did, and did not see Lady Sandrah. Yoda looked up at his ex-Padawan.
It must have been Lady Sandrah, because she just came here. She was very nervous and she gave me a warning. It was about Doctor Fremont, then the next thing I know, she handed me this. Padme handed the chip over to Yoda.
Look this over to see what is on it, before letting the Chancellor know what is on it, I will. Master Yoda looked at the chip.
No! . . . I mean... she also told me to tell you, do not let the Chancellor see it . . . She said something about him being evil. I have to agree with her on that. There is something about him that he is hiding. We should find a Senator to give this chip to. Padme thought of the one person and gave her ex-Master a smile.
See, I do. Someone you have in mind, will let her know, we will. Yoda gave his ex-Padawan smile too.
Padme just nodded, as Anakin and Obi-Wan showed up and the small group went to the dining hall for dinner. They met up with Doctor Fremont and even Lady Sandrah was there, but during the whole time, she was sat there very quiet. After dinner, Doctor Fremont took the small group on a tour of the Medical Center. Like before, both Anakin and Padme got that feeling that there was more going on, that everything that they were seeing was a cover up for something else and it was full of the Dark Side of the Force.
You two are right, about there being something going on here. I too could feel it. Obi-Wan looked over to Yoda, who nodded in totally agree.
Yes, something dark, I feel. Yoda said quietly, as he too nodded his head slowly.
I think I will meditate some, before going to bed, Masters Yoda, Obi-Wan and Anakin. Padme walked over to the cottage that was being used by Anakin.
Everyone nodded in agreement, as they too were going to do some meditation. The two Jedi Masters left Anakins cottage and went to the one that they were staying in. Three hours later, Padme got undressed and put on her night clothes, before going over to the bed and climbed into the bed. She laid down, pulled the covers over, before rolling over and reaching out with the Force. Turning off the light, before closing her eyes, she began drifting off to sleep.
Padme thought she heard a squeaking sound. Reaching out with the Force, she could not sense anything. Then, she heard it again, but this time it was closer to her. Before she could turn on the light, she felt a hand go over her mouth and nose. Then,she began to feel very light headed.
Shh . . . we dont want to wake up every one. He was right about these creatures, the Jedi are very helpless around them. a mans voice said as they walked out of Padmes cottage.
What about the other three Jedi? another male voice asked, as they walked further out of the village and to the waiting hover bikes.
No, it is the female that is wanted. the first male said, as they put Padme into a cart, before climbing onto the hover bikes and took off for their hidden hideout and to their waiting ship.
We are going to get major money for her, so she cannot be damage in any way. the first man said, as they came up to the beach that overlooks the ocean and to the waterfall, where their hide out was behind the falling waters.
They stopped their bikes, got off, just as another person came up to them.
Take her to the back room and once you put her in there, start the ship up and we need to get going. the female looked down at the drugged Jedi.
Yes, maam. the second man said, before carrying Padme up in to the ship and put her into the room that the lady wanted her in.

Four hours later, Padme woke up and she realized that she was no longer on Arkania. Rolling over, just as the door opened up, three people came into the room.
Hello, Padme. the female came closer to the bed that Padme was laying on.
Um . . . Ellyas . . . Karrlos . . . Germayne . . . you are all going to pay for this. Padme looked at the three people, who were standing before her and she knew then, that she was really in trouble.
