The attack on Concordia was the more publicized affair in the galaxy after the destruction of Tipoca City by Admiral Edmon Rampart. According to residents loyal to the regime, it was a signal that the Empire's new army should be quickly mobilized and ready for action. Fenn Shysa thanks to this attack not only left Concordia neutral , took beskar resources and weapons but sent a message to the Empire showing that in the galaxy there are people ready to rebel. ISB tries to track Shysa and his resistance but to no avail - after all the action Fenn disappeared from radars.

TATOOINE | GARSA FWIP'S SANCTUARY

Matteo Shepard was currently at the beautiful tabernacle , which was located in Mos Espa. This is the most famous place on the planet next to another famous cantina. This is where the galaxy's famous people come to rest, enjoy a drink or play some gambling. This place is like a magnet - a terrible attraction.

Matt was in bed with the owner of the establishment, Garsa Fwip. They were both naked and were under the quilt . They slept on a very comfortable bed. Last night Matteo after the action on Concordia came here , to rest. Garsa is a close friend of Shepard's and has helped him more than once. The Earthman reciprocated more than once. Garsa took him into her room and, as befits a madame, greeted him very sharply. They both fell asleep after strong lunging intercourse.

Matteo turned on his side to look at the Twi'lek woman . Garsa awoke early and waited for her friend to look at her. They caught eye contact.

"Good morning," Garsa said. A gentle smile appeared on her face.

"Hey," Matt answered answering back with a smile. Frip put her hand on Matteo's hair and began to comb it. Shepard smiled more.

"You love my hair don't you?"

"It's very . . . soft. Just like my Lekku" She stopped touching them and reached for Shepard's hand and placed it on her left breast. "Can you feel my heartbeat?"

"Yes - Matteo began to macerate her breast - did I tell you , that your boobs are as soft as pillows?"

Garsa burst out laughing while covering her mouth. Shepard is the only person who can make her laugh. She laughed like that for two minutes . She looked at the boy and took his other hand and put it on her other breast.

"Play with them . They are yours , I love the way you touch me - your hands are so comfortable that I can sleep on them," she said.

Matteo laughed softly. For ten minutes he massaged her breasts. Garsa gently made sounds and took deep breaths - she liked it. He started squeezing her breasts harder while enjoying it. Garsa let out a somewhat loud orgasm. She looked at her already unsure whether friend or new boyfriend.

"You know, I feel like taking a shower. Will you wash with me?"

Matteo got up from the bed and approached Garsa giving her a hand - that was his answer - to help madame get up. The Twi'lek caught his hand and slowly stood up, revealing her beautiful naked body. When , she stood up she put her hands behind Matteo's head and sent him a smile.

"Thank you," she kissed him on the lips, "if you take me to the bathroom now , you will get from me the reward you deserve and I know you will not refuse" She put her hand under his armpit . Matt as for a gentleman stopped led her to the bathroom , which was located in front of their bed . He opened the door and they entered the room. Garsa closed the door behind her.

"Sit on the toilet" - She indicated with her hand . Matteo obediently sat down on the toilet. The Twi'lek walked over and knelt in front of him resting her elbows on his legs. She looked at her boyfriend.

"It's time for your reward , as I promised" And she got to work.

CORUSCANT| ISB HEADQUARTERS.

Sera Madreth, along with other inspectors, was in the meeting room. She was sitting next to the most hated person in the entire ISB - Elizabeth Kassamira. She was heartily sick of sitting at work looking for evidence of how Matteo Shepard survived the crash of the star destroyer. Her eyes slowly closed and her body fell asleep. She quickly awoke , when she heard the voice of her superior officer - Partagaz - he was an old man with long gray hair. He, along with Admiral Yuralen, is the one in charge of the ISB. Partagaz, as was his custom, questioned the inspectors and got answers from them. He, compared to others, was open to suggestions from his subordinates and always gave his opinions and hints.

Partagaz listened as Inspector Kane gave information from the planet Ryloth. The major listened without blinking his eyes.

"As I said before , there is no danger on Ryloth . All the clones were taken by Dr. Hemlock to an unknown location . According to my people , Cham Syndulla along with his wife Eleni and daughter Hera left the planet during the terrorist attack . The refinery is currently extracting doonium with 200% efficiency."

"Because you gave them raises , so that they can extract the raw material faster and better. Besides, Mr. Kane , you built special housing for them from the Empire's budget on Ryloth. Let me guess , you think I will give the money?" The Major asked making confusion in Kane's mind.

"Yes sir . . . me

"Then with this please go to the IRS office and not to me." - he looked at Madreth - "Sera , I heard that you are working on a certain case that intrigued me. Will you show us all?" He looked at the woman. Sera projected an image on the screen behind Partagaz. Everyone looked at the face of the person Sera would introduce.

"The person here is Matteo Lorien Shepard. Born on the planet earth he was a commander of the Alliance of Systems. In addition, he was an S.E.O detective and was the best of all . In time he became a commander again and fought on the front lines of the Clone Wars. He was last seen on a star destroyer located in Christophsis space. Until today." He paused , looking at Partagaz.

"Please continue," he ordered, continuing to speak. Sera swallowed her saliva and continued speaking.

"From the footage from the base on the moon of Concordia Shepard fought with a squad of stormtroopers. Our people are 100% sure that he helped the Mandalorian resistance to overthrow the local Imperial government there. For now, his whereabouts are unknown." She finished. Partagaz let her go back to her seat. He looked at his men.

"As you can see we are dealing with a ghost , who has a rich record of service. Shepard is a real threat to our organization. We must act carefully otherwise he will use our mistake against us. It is possible that during his service in the S.E.O he made a lot of contacts. Is there anyone on Coruscant who knows Shepard?" He asked. Sera had a ready answer

"Eustacia Okka - a doctor who lectures at Bar'leth University . She is currently here and working on ancient technolgy.

"Let Agent Milano Neva take care of it. The rest of you know what to do," his men responded. Partagaz leaned in - go! -he chased them all down in a lightning fast pace. Sera went back to her office wondering how to solve this difficult puzzle.

TATOOINE| GARSA FWIP SANCTUARY

Matteo sat at the bar and sipped his drink. After the 'reward' from Garsa and the shower he felt good , very good - he felt better than ever. Garsa got dressed in the dress , which she always wears during the day. She approached Matteo and put her hand on his wrist.

"How do you feel?" A smile appeared on her lips . A Twi'lek smile. Matteo reciprocated it.

"Very well," he noticed something white on her face. With his finger, he took it away. Garsa took her finger in her mouth and sucked the white something. She let it go . Matt wiped his finger on his pants.

"Did I tell you , that you are tasty?" She asked , after swallowing for a while.

"Now you tell me," he sipped his drink in one gulp and set down his glass. - I'll have to fly.

"Where to?" asked Garsa.

"I have to finish the missions," - Matteo began - did I tell you about my daughters?"

"Yes and why?"

"One of them is dead. Jubilee is dead - she had no chance of survival. Order 66 claimed all the Jedi. The only Jedi who survived were Arla Jareni and Damian Reese. God what am I going to tell Ellie . I promised her , that I would bring her home. My God." Garsa put a hand on his shoulder.

"She will find herself . I know that , have faith in your God - he will help you."

"Maybe yes maybe no , I don't know anymore . I will go . Thank you that you took me in ," he said.

"I'm the one who thanks you for stopping by. Remember here you are always welcome ." She kissed him on the lips . Matteo reciprocated the same and left the sanctuary.

After leaving the building, Matteo headed to his Jeep Wragler. He opened the door and entered the vehicle. He put the keys in the ignition and turned starting the engine . He then lowered the manual and headed into his private airstrip. Then he received a call from Rosala.

"Hey Ros. How's the situation on the ship?"

"Pretty good. I've tracked another target. Milano Neva - once an ROCI officer now an ISB agent. He's trying to climb the ranks. You have a shared past.

"Yes , that's right . He exploited my status in SEO for his purposes. I was damn naive at the time. He set me up for thugs more than once."

"I see , you have a reason to take revenge," he said.

"Just so you know. Let me guess located at the ISB headquarters?"

"No. He moved to Coruscant University . To Dr. Eustacia Okka.

"Wait? To this Eustacia.

"Yes , did you know each other?"

"Back in the days of the Republic. Old history. I haven't spoken to her since I flew out on a military operation to stop the Separatists on the Outer Rim. She won't say anything about me."

"At least that much. Start the engines?"

"Yes , I'm not far now," Matteo disentangled himself and accelerated.

After reaching his destination, Matteo parked the car in the garage and headed to his ship. He boarded and went straight to the cockpit. He sat down in his seat and put his hands on the rudder. He then flew the ship out of the landing pad and headed for the planet's atmosphere. When , he managed to leave it he entered the coordinates of Coruscant and jumped into hyperspace.

CORUSCANT| SERA MADRETH'S RESIDENCE.

Sera headed to her apartment after finishing her work without a second thought. She parked her speeder in the parking lot and headed for her home. When , she arrived she opened the door and went inside . She put her briefcase on the pouffe , took off her shoes and went to the dressing room to change.

After changing, she went to the kitchen. She looked at two pictures - Nica Mitsov - her mother , who raised and loved her, and Maul - her boyfriend , who turned out to be a Sith Lord. She missed them . There were tears in her eyes , which came down . She wiped them , when she heard the doorbell ring . She walked over and opened it and saw her friend Delara Ivel .

"Sera!" Delara hugged her . Madreth reciprocated the hug - her heart was relieved. After a while, they let go. Sera invited her inside. They went into the kitchen - Sera set water in the kettle for tea. They sat down at the table.

"What do you say there Sera? How is the ISB?" Delara asked.

"I'm working on the worst case of my career - I have to catch a ghost named Matteo Shepard," she put her hands on her face, "God why do you give me such cases.

Delara, as befits a true friend, put her hand on her shoulder. Sera lowered her hands and looked at her.

"Hey , everything will be fine . You'll make it - I believe in you. Now let's forget about all this and focus on looser things , what do you say?"

"Good," Sera said. After a while she stood from her chair and made tea for her and Delara.

HYPERSPACE | ON THE WAY TO CORUSCANT.

Matteo was still sitting in his seat. He and Rosalia were repeating the plan , which they had planned together.

"Ok. Remind me who I am," he said.

"Your name is Hans Landa - an Imperial officer at a high level. Your planet to which you were assigned was Taanab. Thanks to your extraordinary intelligence and detective skills, you have earned the respect of many important people. Recently you captured a group of pirates and for show you executed them , to show the people that rebellion is senseless. You were sent to Coruscant , to interrogate a person who knows about the group hiding on his planet. Your goal - to interrogate him and pass the information to the ISB."

"Anything else?" Matteo asked further.

"Yes. From my information , there will be an Imperial ball. Neva is on the list."

"Good. And the character I play , what character does she have?"

"He likes black humor , sarcasm , he is nice and can convince everyone. He can threaten with calmness . He knows a ton of languages and sometimes uses unusual things in his work."

"Hans Landa" Matteo repeated "It will be interesting.

"That's right . Your uniform is in your closet . Your Mercedes-Benz with the license plate IMPERIA1L will be waiting for you. As for the weapon it will be in the trunk of the car." Then the ship jumped out of hyperspace. Matteo looked at the planet.

"Ah shit , I missed the capital of the galaxy" He then pointed the ship towards the planet.
