"Y-you two know each other?" Lincoln asked

"We go way back, kid," Ruzz replied, "but what I wanna know is what the hell you're doing here, Bane?"

"I'm here on vacation, just bagged me half a million yesterday," Bane stated

"And Rattatak was your idea of a vacation?"

"I need to lie low for a bit, the outer rim is the best place... especially in a Hutt Cantina, of which I was surprised to find on this back-water planet," Bane said, "now who's the kid? And what's with that... weapon, he used?". Bane pointed at the Glock Lincoln had and then pointed at the now-dead sniper from across the room. The remains of the sniper's head were splattered across the wall, creating a sickly red coat on the stone. Ruzz looked at what Bane was pointing at and sighed "You're cleaning that up, Lincoln," Ruzz said

"B-but why me?!" Lincoln asked

"You're gonna have to get used to it if you want to live and work for Zil'Oal,"

"So he's the Hutt's new worker, huh? Figure's," Bane said as he turned around and placed several credits in Yujnobi's hand, "keep the change,"

"Where do you think you're going?" Ruzz asked

"To town, I can't exactly sleep here, can I?" Bane replied as he walked out. Ruzz shook his head and seemed to chuckle "Haven't changed a bit, have ya?" Ruzz whispered as he turned to Lincoln. He was still in the same spot, but he seemed to be calmer, yet still on edge. Ruzz walked over to him and took the gun out of his hand "I don't think you should use this anymore, it's too... savage," Ruzz said, "but the blaster you can keep... and the sniper,"

"What?" Lincoln asked, "B-but I killed somebody!"

"So what? I kill people all the time, I'm not gonna beat you over it. I ain't no father," Ruzz commented

"B-but-but-"

"No buts! Now hurry along with Yujnobi, you've got studying to do,"

"Yes... sir," Lincoln replied, making his way to Yujnobi.

4 Months Later:

'PEW! PEW! PEW!'

"Nice shooting, Lincoln," Ruzz said as Lincoln lowered the sniper rifle from the man he killed months ago. Lincoln grinned as he saw that he hit the targets, well... best 2 out of 3. Not to mention they were 100 meters away "Thanks, I did everything you told me. Kept my posture, feet spread apart, eased my breathing... it almost felt like second nature," Lincoln said as he put the gun down

"You can say that again, you're doing good for someone who's only been shooting for a few weeks," Ruzz replied as he patted Lincoln's back

"Really? I still feel like I have a long way to go,"

"Well you'll get there, kid... for now, go see Yujnobi, I bet she has more lessons for you,"

"Are you sure? So far, I know that I'm a hell of a way from my planet, my boss controls half the planet and several moons, my teacher is a stripper, and the currency of the galaxy is credits; of which I have no idea how to compare it to a dollar from where I come from," Lincoln explained as he was flicked in the head. Lincoln rubbed his forehead as Ruzz said: "Smart-ass,"

"Well, I guess I absorb lessons like a sponge, huh?" Lincoln said

"Just for that, you're cleaning the bathrooms alone... both of them,"

"WHAT?!"

"Any more sass and you only use the tooth-brush, now go on. Get! I've got another job to do,"

"Speaking of, how did your... last job go?" Lincoln asked

"I got paid if that's what ya mean," Ruzz said as suddenly, a light flicked on in his head, "you know what, if you finish your lessons in advance, I may be able to take you on my next job,"

"W-wait, you take me? On a job? To kill someone? And possibly get killed? WITH BLASTERS?... no thank-you," Lincoln said

"Ahh, come on, Lincoln. You've already got blood on your hands, I promise it won't be as messy as last time," Ruzz said as he wrapped his arm around Lincoln, "plus I can make sure it's not a killing job, dust grab some dusty piece of junk and be done with it. End of story,"

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure I'm sure. You don't need to worry, besides, you can just stay on the ship and keep my junk company," Ruzz assured. Lincoln nodded his head as he soon smiled and looked up at Ruzz "Okay, I guess," Lincoln said

"Great! No-"

"LINCOLN! COME ON! WE'VE GOT LESSONS!" Yujnobi shouted from the backdoor of the cantina

"COMING! See you later, Ruzz," Lincoln said as he quickly ran to the female Twi'Lek. Ruzz crossed his arms as he shook his head and looked down at the rifle Lincoln was using. Picking it up, Ruzz aimed down sights and fired it three times. Each one a head-shot. He spun it around and finally strapped it on his back while saying: "Still got it," and walked back to the Cantina.

Later That Night:

"This has to be the worst job ever," Lincoln said as he was wearing a mask over his face. He was scrubbing a toilet with a scrub brush and gloves with an apron. With a bandana on his head, he wiped his brow in pride as he finished the toilet and flushed it. Walking out of the stall, he stretched and said: "Alright, bathrooms are done... and it's 10 o'clock at night, oh god I need some sleep," as he looked at the clock inside the bathroom when he stepped out of the stall. Picking up his bucket, he walked out of the women's bathroom and dumped his bucket outside. Walking to his room, he collapsed on his bed and went to sleep. When Lincoln woke up, however, his eyes met the blazing sun "What the hell?" Lincoln asked as he sat up. He wasn't in his bed or his room, he was in the desert "Where the hell am I?!" Lincoln shouted

"Interesting... you are connected to me somehow, youngling," said a voice as Lincoln turned to see who was talking to him. But he saw no one. Turning back, he saw that the place had changed and a dark hallway was placed in front of him

"That wasn't there before," Lincoln said as he stood up

"Come closer, youngling," repeated the voice as Lincoln slowly took a step. But he froze, feeling a sense of dread flowing over him "What's wrong, scared?" the voice taunted

"I-I'm not scared," Lincoln said

"Prove it, walk into my domain," the voice said. Lincoln gulped as he took another step forward, then another, and another, and another, until he was walking through the hallway. The hallway seemed to go on forever until he came to a wall "So, you've yet to unlock your potential... that's disappointing. No worries though," the voice said as Lincoln heard a 'zoom' sound behind him and he turned around

(I do not own image)

"I can fix that," said the figure as he jumped at Lincoln and raised his light-saber over Lincoln and brought it down on him

"AHHHH!" Lincoln screamed as he woke up. Sitting up in bed, Lincoln looked around to find himself back in his room and his things all over the floor. Taking several deep breaths, he stepped out of his bed and saw that he had been sweating "W-what the hell was that?" Lincoln whispered as he walked around his room "I-it was just a dream, i-it was just a dream,"
