[Saarrreeaa Meorrrei]

<center>Cont. from <a href=http://www.swforums.net/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=21090>Jilted</a>, which was continued from <a href=http://www.swforums.net/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=20689>Surprise, Guess Who?<a/></center>

Saarrreeaa sat glumly in the cold metallic chair in the 'questioning' room. One mirrored wall stared at her, and she winked at it, flashing a tiny smile, but then went back to being morose.

Life...just couldn't get much worse. The two cops who'd been questioning her had just left the room, and she wondered when they'd let her go. And where was Cirr?

[Cirrsseeto Quez]

It had taken half a dozen men with cattle prods to subdue him, and an equal number to drag his hulking body into the prison cell. Cirr woke, face-down on the concrete floor. His eyes blinked blearily, and his ears were ringing. For a while, he just sat on the floor, gingerly rubbing the contact points where the cattle prods had zapped him. He had calmed down significantly...though he was still mad at Sanis.

But...he wasn't sure if the shifty hyuu-mann deserved to die. He just wanted to...explain. Explain with his fists, but explain, nonetheless. He'd almost gotten used to the smuggler, but now, with Saarrreeaa hurting, he was conflicted.

He sighed mourningly, hoping Saa was okay.

He even hoped Sanis was okay...a little.

:: Upon arriving at the jail after confronting (http://www.swforums.net/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=20689&perpage=20&pagenumber=1) the Sith, AB walked to the front desk and asked to see Sanis. She was told by the officer at the desk that Sanis had been taken to the medical ward to be treated for wounds. She was surprised at this and frowned, asking where he had aquired such wounds for him to need intensive care. The officer told her everything. She stood silently there for a moment before asking to see Saarrreeaa, who the officer had told her was in, along with her mate, for attempted murder. ::

:: He nodded his head and led her into a room with three cells lining the wall, one of which held Saa like a caged animal. ::

Officer: You have five minutes. Regulations.

:: He shrugged sounding apologetic. AB thanked the man and looked at Saa, stepping closer to the bars. Could this day get any worse? She wanted to say something, but didn't know how to start, so she stood there silently, patiently, waiting for the Cizerack to acknowledge her. ::

[Saarrreeaa Meorrrei]

Saarrreeaa looked up at her visitor. She'd been moved from the interrogation room about three minutes prior...and the cell wasn't a big improvement. Apparently the powers that be were trying to figure out what they could charge her with...and they needed the room for someone else.

"jYesss? Rrrjie, jisn't jit?" Saa spread her hands, "jI'd jinvjite jyou to sssjit, but jI can't."

[AmazonBabe]

:: AB smiled as the Cizerack woman remembered her name. ::

Yes, it is Rie.

:: The smile faded somewhat as she looked at Saarrreeaa. ::

Saa, what happened? I came here to see Sanis, and instead I find you...

[Saarrreeaa Meorrrei]

The Cizerack threw up her hands in helplessness. "Dammed jif jI know! Apparrrentljy Cjirrrrr sssaw me upssset, and jin turrrn got upssset...and took jit out on Sssanjisss. He'sss bejing held on assssssault and batterrrrrrjy chargesss, and jI'm..." She broke off as a guard walked up.

"Sorry to interrupt, but you're being released, Ms. Meorrrei. Sorry about the wait." He bumbled apologetically in getting the door open, and Saa quickly walked out of the cell.

[AmazonBabe]

:: AB listened as Saarrreeaa went on about what happened when the officer returned informing her she was being released. Well, that was one. Now to find out about the other. ::

Guard, perhaps we could see Cirrsseeto.

:: The guard shook his head. ::

Guard: I'm sorry, but only one visitor per prisoner at a time. Regulations and all.

:: AB raised an eyebrow, waving her hand minutly at her side. ::

Yes, but in this case, you can make an exception.

Guard: But... I think in this case I can make an exception.

Thank you, Officer. You are quite understanding.

Guard: My pleasure Madam Jedi.

:: AB turned to Saa. ::

Shall we?

[Saarrreeaa Meorrrei]

Saa ventured a wobbly smile. "jYesss, pleassse."

They followed the guard down the hallways, past cells empty and full, until they got to Cirrsseetto's cell. He was curled up in the corner, and his shirt was ripped.

Saa gasped, taking in the welts on his body from the prods the guards had used on him. "Cjirrrrr? Arrre jyou okajy?" Her voice sounded thin..and wavery. She sniffed, and leaned on Rie.

[AmazonBabe]

:: For a physically strong species, the Cizerack were quite emotional, and it broke her heart to see such a creature as Cirr curled up in the corner like a defensless kitten. No doubt he was confused. She hoped Saa's presence might alleviate some of the confusion and pain he must be feeling. AB placed an arm around the thin woman, trying to comfort her and be supportive of both beings. ::

[Cirrsseeto Quez]

He looked up...and his demeanor changed. He smiled...glad that Saa was okay.

jYesss, jI'm alrrrjight.

[AmazonBabe]

:: She looked at the large felenoid as he brightened upon seeing his mistress. After adressing her, his eyes caught sight of AB and she took advantage and spoke to him softly. ::

Cirr, what happened? What did you do?

[Saarrreeaa Meorrrei]

Saarrreeaa put her arms through the bars, and reached towards him. "jI'm sssorrrrrrjy jyourrr jin herrre, Cjirrrrr. jI neverrr wanted thjisss to happen. jI'll get jyou out, don't worrrrrrjy." The bars would challenge her strength, although Cirr could probably have walked out of here, had he wanted. On second thought...they'd put him in a special, reinforced cell. Perhaps a titanium alloy? Expensssjive, but needed forrr the occasssjional Wookjiee orrr Cjizerrrack, she supposed.

Saa reached towards him again, much to the chargin of the guard. He didn't do anything though, not with Rie standing there. "Cjirrrr?"

[Cirrsseeto Quez]

Silently, he took her hand, embracing it by his face as he looked up at her.

[Saarrreeaa Meorrrei]

Saa curled her hand by his cheek, and pressed her face near the bars. "jI'll get jyou out of herrre. jI know jyou werrre jussst dojing what jyou thought was rrrjight."

She turned to Rie. "What can jI do forrr hjim? jYou prrrobabljy know the sssjyssstem herrre betterrr than jI do."
