Chapter Seven- The Cabin
Ben was out fixing a part of the ship when someone tapped on his foot.
He came out from underneath and saw his father , grey hair, same smirk and a worn out leather jacket .
"What's up?" Ben asked.
"I have a job" he said and Ben jumped out from under the ship.
"How much does it pay?" Ben asked instantly.
"Enough happy cabbage to keep this old girl running... you gotta take 2 boxes of spice out to Courstant."
"When by?" Ben asked.
"Seven cycles ... I'll send you the info you in ?" Han asked his son.
"Send me the info" Ben told him and they went their separate ways.
*
It's a two box shipment of spice, royal green spice.
To governor G'Op Fam ... he'll meet you at a party on courstantx take a girl, a pretty girl who'll be your date . When she goes to the bathroom ask him how his Bantha is doing.
He'll arrange for two men to come to ship, "delivering food" and they'll take the shipment .
He has already paid but the money won't unfreeze till he has the spice in his hands .
-H. S.
Ben sighed and then moved the two boxes of spice to a hidden compartment .
*
Rey was in the dining area of the ship, Ben could smell the delicious aroma of meat and vegetables cooking.
He was sitting in the cockpit focusing on flying but the smell was so amazing .
He heard the guys come over and get their food and eat with her , she was laughing and talking with them.
*
It had been a while, Ben's stomach was growling and his hunger was full force .
Just then Rey sat down next to him and had a plate of food in her hands .
"I thought you might be hungry" she said and handed him the plate .
"Can't eat and fly-"
"I'll do it" Rey said confidently.
Ben raised a brow "you ? Fly?"
"Yes, me flying this hunk of junk -"
"Hey kid now watch it" Ben said. Rey rolled her eyes and then began to do the controls .
Ben was in awe as she moved the controls and did as he would do behind the controls .
She watched the galaxy in front of her "Ben how come our chart says to Courstant ... I thought we were going to Tattooine" she said looking at him.
"Slight change of plans ... I have a delivery there -"
"It better not be those spice clubs or those horrible bars-"
"It isn't !" He said "besides we just need to drop off some packages for my dad "
"Hmm... yeah well... we'll see" she then continued to fly.
Ben looked around the ship, and after a silent pause he asked "Who taught you to fly?"
"My grandfather ... he said back when he was a young man fighting in wars he learned to fly... he was a Jedi master, and sadly his one and only student ... he failed him, he turned to the dark side... my grandfather went to Tatooine and he met Master Luke... then the republic won" she told him.
"Why did , how did he end up on Jakku?" Ben asked.
"He found that his long lost love Satine's only child was ruler their due to marriage, that child was my grandfathers only son...two had a baby and there I came to be" she smiled.
"So who wants you for the force ?" He asked and immediately regretted his words.
"The First Order, the new up rising against the old senates ... their supreme leader , Snoke, he wishes to use me ... he has a couple of men whom he found were force sensitive , from Luke Skywalker's old Jedi academy... he wants to use me as a breeding machine ..." she sighed.
"I didn't know ... I went to Luke's school" Ben told her.
"What happened ?" Rey asked.
"I don't wanna talk about it" he said and stood up , walking out.
