Standing in the corner of the hallway, Anakin and Ahsoka were glancing at the Coruscanti view, holding their datapad. The 16 years old Padawan shifted her head towards her master, her eyebrows curved downwards. "Is something bothering you, Master?"380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6LmLGEfdW
Anakin let out a sigh of frustration, his hands crossed. "It's been days since the Chancellor was killed," he spoke, in a soft yet harsh tone. "We've been searching for his office and his home back and forth and so far, we've found nothing."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjfbs35NXz
"I'm sure if we checked again, we'll probably find something new," Ahsoka told him, trying to calm her Master. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAK9AFgpVP
"But we've been through those places over and over again, Ahsoka and there was nothing that the killer has left behind."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mFIJ2fOOy
"Oh, come on, Anakin," she placed her hands on his shoulders. "We could double-check his office again. After all, there's no harm in that."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA26VUNXpG
He rolled his eyes, holding himself back from exploding. "We should be finding his killer, not searching for more clues."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk4iZLB0hH
Ahsoka frowned as she stared at Anakin, sensing his inner turmoil. "I know you and the Chancellor are good friends, Anakin. I know that he's like a father to you since you were a little boy, but without any important evidence, we may never find the killer."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDh1AuXglg
He gave a nod, curving his lips slightly upwards. I guess there's no harm done in double-checking his office again. After all, I'm sure there's something Ahsoka and I have missed. "Alright Ahsoka, we'll do that tonight, okay?"380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvl9XYw3dfV
She grinned, swinging her right arm. "Now that's what I'm talking about, Skyguy."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk5jml6S4k
Anakin pushed her shoulders slightly, letting out a soft chuckle. "Just make sure you don't let the other Senators in, alright?"380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GditeP9MT
"I promise," she nodded, guarding her arms behind her. "Besides, it's not like Padmé would tell anybody about the Chancellor's death."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmC76MtY7W
He beamed up when Ahsoka mentioned his wife's name. Beautiful and intelligent, he remembers reuniting with the Naboo senator two years ago when he was assigned to protect her from her assassin. She reminded him of an Angel from the moon of Iago when she first showed up in Watto's shop back in Tatooine. Even after 10 years have passed, she still looked as good as ever.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa1tkmHKTX
"I know Padmé wouldn't tell anyone about our investigation," he said, his smile grew wider. "I wasn't mad when you told her about her, you know."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFOCmVnleB
She sighed in relief when she heard Anakin's statement. "Thank goodness for that. I won't be able to forgive myself if you're mad at me."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO2S5zanGr
He chuckled as he noticed his former master, Obi-Wan approaching them. "Master," he waved his hand. "How are you today?"380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvsiKmvKBF
"Oh, I'm alright," he lied, covering up his worries about the twins. "I was just taking a walk, that's all." 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazW255D1kg
Anakin raised his eyebrows. It's obvious that Obi-Wan is hiding something from him. "Is something bothering you, Master?"380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBJT6JNYjA
Should I tell them about Eva and Lira or should I wait until they show up in the Temple? 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiUTOOLkwI
"I'm just thinking about the girls, that's all," he uttered the truth or at least half of it. Anakin smiled when his master mentioned Eva and Lira. The 12-year-old twin sisters were quite close to him, especially the younger one, Eva. When he first her, she was cowering behind Master Kenobi while hugging her tooka doll named Stripes. But as he spent more time with her, he found her sweet and gentle who loves drawing with crayons and reads a lot, just like Obi-Wan.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzc6w5I2mrq
"Yeah, well, what about them, master? I haven't seen them for the whole day."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujeTK24UuS
His heart stopped for a moment when Anakin told him that. He hasn't seemed them the whole day? Should I panic or should I just stay calm and wait for them to come back to the Temple?380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkV4TkEX1x
"When was the last you saw the twins?" he questioned, hoping not to panicked his apprentice. Anakin and Ahsoka tilted their heads upwards and stroked their chins simultaneously. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5A9lQgNSg
"If I recall, I saw them running around the corridors with their toys," Anakin recalled. "They were playing cowboys and princesses."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrX3sBT8Pq
Seems like a normal day for them. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPCA8Gqwha
"I see," he nodded, placing his hands on his well-trimmed beard. "Well, that's good to hear."
Ahsoka glanced at Obi-Wan, her eyes squinted. "And why do you ask, master?"
Uh-oh, looks like Ahsoka noticed. What do I tell her?
"I'm just wondering, that's all," he answered, giving her a smile. "I've been so occupied with the Chancellor's death that I hardly noticed about their well-being."
Anakin let out a small laugh. "Master, you do know that Master Doyvesky and Tori is taking care of them, right?"
That doesn't stop the girls from wandering outside the Temple, though. And what's worse, they didn't even tell us or leave a note in their quarters. This is unlike the twins at all.
"Of course they are, Anakin. But still, I can't help but worry about them, that's all."
"Relax, Master. They'll be fine. Right now, we should focus on the Chancellor's death instead."
Obi-Wan gave a nod as he excused himself, walking towards his quarters.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j5WFr0Xkm
