| It had hurt so much worse than expected, walking away from Tremaine the way she had. It had taken every ounce of her energy to do it and not break down, but once she was stashed safely away in a motel on Nar Shadda, Jalaila let it all out. The anger, frustration, and most of all the gut wrenching tears. The look on his face kept crossing her mind- the seeming indifference that he appeared to have when she pressed her diamond ring into his palm and told him that she was leaving. He didn't care. Had he loved her at all? Or was she just a front for him to save face with the Imperials? A means to an end, so to speak.
Jalaila tried to remember, to reconcile her thoughts and think back to everything that had happened in the past year. She tried to remember events, or clues that should have tipped her off. In the end, she knew she should have walked away and turned him in right when she found out he was a rebel. But no, she had fallen in love. She had fallen for what seemed to be a lie.
Now Tremaine was dead, so the reports said. A dive off of a balcony after an argument with a prostitute? It didn't make sense, but she didn't question it at all. After the "visit" from Jan'ar Cerra, she had her suspicions. Of course she still had the letter that the "Queen" wanted her to give to Tremaine, though it remained unopened.
It didn't matter anymore. She knew she couldn't stay here anymore, so days after she had walked away, Jalaila booked a transport to Imperial Center, but made sure it stopped on Chandrila because she felt she owed an apology to Senator Thanatos for her behavior and Tremaine's and offer her condolences for the loss of Ilanah's best friend.....even if the woman couldn't remember.Added (19 Aug 2012, 7:05 AM)
---------------------------------------------
The transport to Chandrila had been swift enough. It was long enough for Jalaila to collect her thoughts and try to force the pain deep inside so that it wouldn't show when she spoke to the Senator. She hadn't once thought that Mr. Thanatos might be present, but then again, she also didn't care. He would be able to make the hurt, the feelings of betrayal stop in an instant if he wanted to.
She took a speeder to the Senator's estate from the spaceport, just a short jaunt across the countryside, and landed at her door within an hour. With a small bit of hesitance, she approached the door and knocked, then waited.

| He would give Lana a simple nod, responding to her questions, "Yes, I do. He is now an enemy of the Empire, and I have to do my job." He, too, heard the knock at the door. He had no idea who could have been at their door. He would look at Lana, before getting up off the bed and heading out of their room, through the hall and down the stairs to the front door.
Upon opening the door, he saw someone that he hadn't expected to see back at his place. Tremaine's fiance. His eyes focused on her, wondering why she was there.
"What are you doing back here?"

| Jalaila drew in a deep breath. "I came to see your wife, Inquisitor." She had a blank expression on her face, and left her words simple. "You haven't heard the news, I take it. Too busy explaining yourself to her?" She snapped some, but then again, she was a bit on edge with everything that had happened.
"Can I see her?" She asked, almost impatiently as she glanced past him to see if the woman had followed him to the door. "A little girl talk, you know."

| To see his wife? Why would she be here to see Lana? He would barely nod his head to her, "She's up stairs..." He would move aside, letting the woman into the house and past him. He would give them their time to have a little girl talk. But after that, he had just who he needed to talk to right there in his house.

| Jalaila would brush past him and go upstairs. It wouldn't be long before Kal would feel a wave of emotion, from both women. Ilanah was a wreck, and Jalaila had been as gentle as she could have been about the whole situation. It was a difficult thing to have to tell the Senator, especially with the delicate mindset she had been in since her accident. She hadn't meant to upset the Senator that much, but she left the woman crying, as she had said she needed to be alone.
When she went downstairs, she took a moment to glance at Kal. "You might want to take care of her." She murmured as she went for the front door.

| His eyes would focus directly on her as she would come down the stairs. He knew that what Lana was feeling was because of what she had been told by Jalaila. He would hear her murmur something about needing to take care of Lana. His hand would reach out, grabbing a hold of her arm, "Where is he?"
He knew that the story that was being told throughout the news was factual. His hand would tighten around her arm, "Don't make me ask twice..."

| Jalaila pulled against him roughly, uncaring what had happened the last time she fought back against the Inquisitor. "He's dead. Didn't you hear?" She snapped as she tried to pull her arm out of his grasp. "Booze and whores on Imperial Center....sounds about right, doesn't it, Inquisitor? Isn't that how all men treat the women who love them?"
She looked up to him finally. "There isn't anything else I can do for you, he's gone, so you might as well let me go."

| He wouldn't break his hold, nor allow her to break it. He let show a small smirk as he continued, "Please...We both know that he wasn't that type of man, and we both know that he is still alive. Where did you last see him?" Kal would calmly ask, hoping that she would know that if she resisted, things would get worse for her.

| Jailaila narrowed her eyes some. She hated Kal, absolutely hated him for what he had done to her, and to Tremaine, but she didn't know that he had actually done her a favor. "Nar Shadda. His ship exploded after he took off. The CJ article was lies, as usual."
"He's dead, asshole. Let. Me. Go." She snapped again. "If I scream, your wife will hear and then she'll know exactly what kind of man you are. Is that what you want?"

| He stared right into her eyes, seeing that she was telling the truth...to a certain degree. He believed that Tremaine's ship had exploded, but he would travel to Nar Shadda to find out for himself.
"Do you really want to scream?" He would question her, challenging her to a point. He wanted to see if she had the guts to test him.

| "You've already ruined my marriage." She hissed. "What else do you want from me?" All Jalaila knew was what she told him, mostly. She didn't know that the ship was a decoy really, or that Tremaine hadn't been on it. He could have been, for all she knew. So she mourned him as if he was.
"Do you really want to show your wife what you really are?" She challenged him right back.

| He ran that question through his head, does he really want to show his wife what he really is. What did this woman mean by that? He tilted his head to the side, "My wife has nothing to do with you and I." He would pause a moment before continuing, "I want to know where he is. He isn't dead. There is no way that his ship would just explode out of nowhere. He made it seem like he was killed..."

| "What part of 'HE'S DEAD' don't you understand?!" She finally shouted at him as she very roughly pulled her arm away from him and stepped back unsteadily. "I left him on Nar Shadda and his ship exploded. Don't you get that, Inquisitor? Or is it more of a brawn thing that the Empire hired you for? Because it sure is obvious that it's not for your brain power." Jalaila snapped.
"I'm going. you should let it go. He's gone." The woman was actually tearing up some, thinking about her fiancee dying like that.

| Would let her, for the moment, be able to pull her arm away from him. He could tell that this really was the truth, to her. He shook his head, "A brawn thing, huh?" A smirk would come across his face, "You really think I'm just some brute, huh?" He would give her time to respond, and maybe have a chance to further avoid any pain or punishment from him.

| "I think that it doesn't matter to you whether I am telling the truth or not. I think that you would rather hurt someone than listen to the truth. But you know better, don't you, Inquisitor? You just know everything about everyone. So why don't you go and waste your time searching for a dead man. I've got better things to do.' Jalaila would spare him one last glance before she went for the front door of the house.
