Chapter Two

Ben made his way up to the fourth floor and entered room 402.

"Cody?" he called, glancing around the dimly-lit apartment.

"In here, sir." a moment later, a clone limped into view.

"Hello, Cody." Ben greeted, a smile that radiated warmth spread across his face.

"It's good to see you, General." he greeted, returning the gesture.

"I'm glad to see your up again."

"Yes sir, my strength's slowly returning."

"That's good."

"I saw your article from the other day."

"Oh did you?" Ben asked, grinning slightly.

"It was a masterpiece." the clone chuckled.

"Oops-" the door creaked open slowly, causing both men to stiffen.

Whipping around, Ben found Luke and Leia standing there.

"I thought I told you to stay in the apartment?" he said, narrowing his eyes.

"We got bored." Leia shrugged.

"Who's this?" Luke asked, pointing at Cody. "Also, where'd you get that scar?"

Cody's hand shot up to his temple, where a long scar stretched across his forehead. "I um-"

"It looks cool!"

"Heh, thanks."

"I'm sorry." Ben sighed, shooting the clone an apologetic look. "Cody, this is Luke and Leia. Luke and Leia, this is my friend, Cody."

"It's nice to meet you." Leia said, giving a small smile.

Cody cocked his head to the side, studying the two for a moment, before shooting Ben a questioning glance.

"Later." he mouthed.

"Alright you two, let's leave Cody alone." he said, herding them out the door.

The two pouted and Leia mumbled an "Awww" under her breath, but still did as they were told.
