Bib's head tails twist and twitch. "Ah, but my sources say that the cargo was put in your charge by Ari, not that of the captain's. Or are my sources mistaken?"

"I'm not aware of the contents of any cargo carried on the ship that brought us here. Whether it was placed in our care or not..." Femi says quietly. "The child was to be delivered and that is done. If there was something in the cargo that was also supposed to be delivered, let's go speak to the captain."

"Yes, let us do that. Go and bring us your captain. We will wait, but not for long." With that, the Twi'Lek waves you away.
[sblock=OOC]I'm not sure if you guys remember or not but there is a large shipment of food and another large shipment of valuable metals on board that are to be delivered to some friends of Ari, who are in contact with the slaves of this planet. [/sblock]

Femi stands and heads towards the exit, motioning for Tal to follow. Once outside, Femi starts walking back to where the ship is docked. Quietly he says, "The stuff in the cargo...is that Twi'Lek supposed to know about it? It doesn't seem as if that cargo was supposed to be delivered to Jabba..."

The two of you make your way back to the ship, where you see Captian Haebes talking with a Duros man about something and Sieblacca is offloading some of the crates.
You over hear the following:
"Yeah, I understand that. I was told it was all taken care of. This Reelo person had better have a good reason for interfering in this business."
"Yes, understanding you. Reelo says Jabba need foodstuff. Make happy to slaves."
"Whatever. Listen, wampa meat. If Reelo wants it, he'll have to come and take it from me. I've got a business to run, now get out of here." The Captain makes a threatening gesture towards the alien and it scurries off.
"Careful wish! Get soon!"
It is then that Sieblacca and the Captain notices you both. The Wookiee makes a grunt that would appear to be a greeting and Haebes nods in your direction. "I take it you two have been successful?"

"Mostly successful," Femi replies. "There was a Twi'lek that met us in a cantina. He took the Rodian child into his care but was also asking questions about the cargo we carried here on your ship. Is that cargo for the Hutt?"

The Captain holds his breath for a minute, then speaks. "No, it's not for Jabba either. The people we were supposed to meet never showed and now this scum-bucket comes to tell me a Reelo Baruk is laying claim to it as well. You ever heard of him?"

"No, I have never heard of him but before recently I had spent much of my time in one place. The galaxy is large..." Femi says. "At any rate, the Twi'lek is expecting us back at the cantina with you. He wants to discuss the cargo with you."

The Captain's eyebrows raise impossibly high on his forehead. "Is that so? Well maybe we can get this figured out once and for all. Sieb? Stick with the cargo. NOBODY touches it. Got it?" A grunt and howl from the Wookiee tells Haebes that his order is understood. "Lead on."
A short time later, you arrive in the back of the cantina, Captain Haebes in tow and the Twi'Lek Bib Fortuna waiting for you. The translator works overtime as it translates both of their Huttese.
"What's this about? We have no business with Jabba here."
"On the contrary. All ships in this sector have business with Jabba, no?"
"Skip to the point."
"Jabba says cargo for his palace, not for slaves. What Jabba says, happens. He want you to unload cargo into transport that coming this evening. Repaid for your efforts, he says."
Tal's hairs on the back of his neck start to stand up and Femi can feel a small change in the flow of the Force.
"I've already been 'paid for my efforts', so I'm sticking to the contract. No deal."
"If that is what you wish."
"It is."
As expected, the Twi'Lek dives for cover as two panels open up and blaster fire pours into the room. Luckily, all of you were aware that something was up and can act in the first few seconds.
First round actions please.
