An excerpt from the latest installment... Chapter 26
"Getting onto Coruscant let alone into the Imperial Palace is going to take some doing," Arla put in, frowning in thought.
"There..." Chezz began, hesitantly, "There's the Wild Thing..."
Lainy smiled at him, knowing just how much Chezz loved the Wild Thing and how big an offer that was from him. "We'd need a pilot," she reminded him, mocking gently, "And I bet a month's drinking money that you've rigged her in some way that you'll forget to tell us about and we'll all end up getting self destructed..."
"There's the Troubadour..." Poom-Bar suggested. "The Boss and Rishard Bess have worked together before... I'm sure he'd be willing to be part of the plan..."
"The Troubadour is bigger than the Wild Thing," Shei added. "No offence, Chezz..."
"None taken..."
"It ain't what you've got, mate," Arny quipped with a grin, stabbing the cigar towards Chezz, "it's what you do with it!"
There was a mild ripple of laughter that faded back into thoughtful silence.
"So if Bess agrees, then we've got a ride to Coruscant. Then what?" Sha Aegis asked. "There's going to be too much firepower and security for a smash and grab..."
The soft murmur of concurrence died into another long bout of silence, everyone sitting deep in thought. "Oh come on, guys," Kirixchi put in finally, "Skywalker and Solo's crew got the Princess Leia off of the Death Star! How hard can this be?"
