Star Wars Rebels Fan-fiction: Old friends?

Chapter 4

Ezra POV

Dai looked up at me and ... were those tears? I couldn't believe it: Dai was really crying. I had never saw him do that before.

I sighed and ran my hand over my face, down my neck back up. I let my hand in my hair and it became a bit straggly. This did not please me.

"We make a plan to free her, but then I don't want to see you ever again." I agreed and let my hand fall back beside me.

Maia has never done anything to me. And Maia should not suffer under our hate relationship. She has nothing to do with this. Besides she had been his best friend, maybe even better than Dai.

Dai's face seemed to brighten, but there was something strange in his look. I ignored it.

"Let's go to the Ghost. I will have to explain to them what happened. "I sighed.

I reached out my hand to pull him up.

"And why do you trust him?" Said a little voice in my head.

"Maia" I answered immediately and with conviction.

"Yes, but that isn't a reason to trust him immediately. You better be on your guard. "It continued.

Now I started to doubt. "That makes sense."

Dai snapped his fingers in front of my face. "Uh what?" I said, confused.

"You still talk to yourself. Not so much changed Bridger." He laughed. On my face there also appeared a little smile.

I jerked my head that he had to come along. When I opened the door I saw Kanan had already left. He was probably already on the Ghost explaining to the rest what I had told him. Well, my past remains a mystery for all of them. I even know that Zeb and Sabine once had a bet about how many times I was imprisoned. I had lost count, but every time I managed to escape on myself and made sure that Maia and Dai also were released. The empire had really hated us and especially because I have my data deleted from there databases. That was several weeks before I met Maia and Dai. By contrast, there were still all beautiful in the empires computer.

Dai and I hadn't said a word on the way back to the Ghost. Before I wanted to run up the ramp of the Ghost he stopped me by putting a hand on my shoulder. "I promise that you don't have to see me after this and... really thank you." Yet there was something that not totally convinced me. Something in his voice and eyes, his facial expression.

Still, I gave him a smile back and his was even wider. "We used to be a good team. We will save her." I also put my hand on his shoulder.

"I don't doubt that."

"Maybe you should stay here a moment while I talk to the crew."

Dai nodded. "That might be the best indeed."

I went inside and left Dai outside behind.

The rest I found in the room where we always planned the missions. What a better place to telle them this.

When I just came in, everyone looked at me and stopped their conversations. "Ezra. What have you done with him." Sabine said, and she jumped right.

Immediately I raised my hands to show that I had done nothing. "Nothing! He sits outside on the ramp of the Ghost. "

Immediately everyone let hear a sigh of relief.

"Hey!" I exclaimed. What did they expect. Okay, I had thrown him almost from the tower, but hey I didn't do it, huh.

"I really have some self-control." I crossed my arms.

"Kid, we know you a little longer for now. You are rather ... impulsive. "Laughed Kanan.

I rolled my eyes. "Okay, can be, but I have something to say."

Everyone was immediately focused.

"We have a mission." I said with a mischievous smile, which appeared to everyone as soon as I said the word mission.

Kanan POV

Ezra explained what Dai had asked him to save his sister. Ezra wanted to do it because despite his resentment for Dai, Maia had never done anything to him. I didn't know why, but I didn't like the sound of it. A feeling.

"And how do we know where she is? How does he even knows that the Empire has her locked up?" Sabine said.

"Yes Ezra. How does he know that?" I asked, too.

There he knew nothing to say. "Actually. I will ask him again soon. Yet usually when they have a "street rat" pick up here, they are thrown into the normal cells and interrogated. First they look at who you are and then they ask for contacts and whether they interact with other wanted by the empire. Despite the fact that you're 14 they go really hard with your sometimes. Believe me, even if you're nine."

Kanan saw Ezra thought back to a time when he probably sat in one of those cells.

"And besides Dai is a better hacker as Sabine and Chopper, sorry but he's one of the best." Sabine her expression was evident when Ezra told it to her. Zeb gave her a stump. "Haha. Looks like no hacking this time. "

"Before, I and Maia always took care of the distraction as he got the information we needed. We have often looked after their younger brother, but he just seemed to have disappeared... "Ezra continued.

"Just like my parents." He added also quietly increased. Probably hoping that no one has heard of him, but I heard it and I think the rest likewise.

"Wellthen we'll just have to make a plan up, right? "I broke the silence thathad fallen.
