| She drew in a quick breath, wincing as she shoved the needles into her arm. "careful there, Red." Cassi hissed. She couldn't move her arms, so she couldn't get away from it.
"Outer Rim, a hospital. I don't know where it was really. Just broke out. I'm not crazy enough to work for the Empure. Are you? Wait, I read you're a senator or something now." Cassi shifted uncomfortably. Her gaze fell to Stark again and she narrowed her eyes some.
"I wasn't really going to hurt her,probably. No.....yeah I was....."

| Stark had been idly cleaning his fingernails, watching as the fluid was injected. Standing slightly, he looked down at her and then, cat-quick, unleashed a backhand aimed less to harm her directly than to sting, against the side of her cheek. "Politeness will get you everywhere, Miss Darcy. And yes, I am the current Lorrdian representative. Now, back to the important matters. You were on the Outer Rim, was it? A hospital? What hospital? Mental or standard? What planet was it? If there is a name then I want a name. How did you arrive on Lorrd?"

| Cassi winced, her head turning sharply as he slapped her. "It wasn't on a planet. On a ship. I don't know the name. I got shot.... Scars still there ." She said, motioning to her left shoulder.
"how does anyone arrive on Lorrd? I came in on a transport last week," She said with a frown.

| Nodding slightly, Stark relaxed his line of questioning for the moment. Considering Cassia for a long moment, he nodded to himself. "I'll put it to you frankly, Miss Darcy. Either you start telling me something interesting that keeps me from getting up, or I leave this room and turn you over to the Lorrdian authorities. Dead, possibly, or alive possibly. Either way, once in the Lorrdian justice system, you'd be convicted of attempted murder of a government official and quite likely sentenced to death. Or perhaps imprisonment in a labor camp for life. So by all means, intrigue me."

| "if I knew, I would tell you. But I don't.". Cassi sighed and finally rested her head back against the pillow. "It was a medical ward on a ship owned by my boss. My sorta....I mean. He didn't send me here." She said, truthfully. "I left, stole a fighter."
"I don't know what you want."

| Ah, now that could be a useful tidbit. Stark leaned forwards, all eager ears now, though he kept his face still bland. "Now we're talking more, Miss Darcy. I'm not a fan of all these archaic methods. Two sentients talking is much nicer, wouldn't you agree? Now although you say your boss didn't send you, let's start out with a few things. First off, is your boss expecting you to contact him on a regular basis? Secondly... who exactly is your 'boss'?"

| Cassi grimaced some and shook her head as she sighed. "No he doesn't. He is used to me going for months at a time....I don't only work for him, you know." She murmured as she glanced to him, impassively. It was an internal struggle for her to not say anything more, but she felt compelled to answer his question.
"A separatist....Valin Rall."

| As good of control as Stark had of himself, a brief exhalation surfaced, then he was in control again. If she worked for Rall, one of the Empire's most wanted, did she work for Shiva too? "Tell me, Miss Darcy, have you worked with any of the other wanted Separatists? Shiva, perhaps?" His mind was in overdrive. Rall was worth a lot of credits if captured. He was worth even more though, as a disruptive force. With the right funding and backing... well... Stark would see. "Do you know where Valin Rall is located? Any of his operations? Bases, holdings, ships? Any information on him?" Stark sat back for a moment, looking to Malinara. "Valin Rall could be a major asset to us, you know. We could-" He cut off, realizing what he'd just said in front of Cassia.

| She pulled at the straps she was restrained with, grunting slightly. her knee still shot pain up and down her leg, her hand was throbbing and now she could feel a bruise forming across her cheek. "I don't know who that is. Aside from the warrants that I've seen come up, so no." She replied.
"I don't know where he is...and his base is always moving." She heard him speak to the other woman and she narrowed her eyes slightly. What did Stark want with Rall, she wondered. It was not that she was loyal....well she was....to the highest bidder, but she was curious.

| "So if his base is moving, then where was it last? How do you find him when you need him? Or does he contact you?" Stark bombarded her with questions to cover his slip. Rall could be just what he needed to expand his own influence. Rall, as well, was not likely to be perfectly established either. The man would need new ships, new crews, and Stark was just the sort to supply him... for a price, of course.

| She tugged again on her wrists. "He contacts me....crap....really?" Cassi said, frustrated at the situation. "I don't need him...I don't need anyone." She said, narrowing her eyes again. "Seems like you need him though. what for, Stark? not as wholesome as you let people think? Your woman know that?" She fired off her own questions.

| Stark chuckled, leaning back out of the light. "You didn't do your reading, Miss Darcy. I'm a bounty hunter, signed and sworn, in addition to my multitude of other exciting hats. Sometimes it pays to know people. So you don't know where his last base was, even? A true shame. The problem then, is what to do with you. I don't kill indiscriminately or unless I need to. As such, you're free to go." With a quick movement, Stark unsheathed one of his knives and deftly cut her restraints before backing away. "A shame you didn't know more. I would have paid well for such knowledge."

| "It's Cassi." She said, once she was able to sit up and rub the soreness out of her wrists. For a moment, he mulled over what Stark had said to her. "Not sure you would have paid for anything, stark. Probably would have just drugged it out of me. Or beat it out of me, one or the other."
Cassi started to stand and she turned her gaze to him. "What do you want with him anyway?" She asked as she straightened herself up some. She was concious of the others in the room, especially Red, whom she had knocked out earlier.

| "Oh, I'm a businessman first and foremost, Miss Darcy. We're not quite on a first-name basis yet, but we will be." As she stood, Gadrid Morthol and Lana Mosset, whom she had knocked out, moved to stand behind her. "Suffice to say knowing Rall would be some rather decent leverage in a few departments. For now, though, I do believe you'll be a guest at one of my facilities. Take her, my friends, and see that she's well cared for."
