THEME


The open window brought a gentle breeze in along with the sound of the evening air traffic. The sun was setting on Coruscant but Lucien wasn't waiting to see the star disappear beyond the skyscraper dotted horizon. A set of macrobinoculars were held in his left hand casually. The other hand held a cigara that had smoke blowing comfortably away from his face. He knew it was a habit, the ugliest thing about him if he had to admit it. His blast vest was covered by a pair of trousers and matching vest and tie.

He had been watching the apartment a half block down. This was not the first time. The clicking of shoes on the walkway below, echoed against the hard walls up and down the street. By now Lucien could tell who it was with those shoes. The man, an aging fratboy with a some pep in his step. His body was healthy though an injury at some point in his younger years kept him from pursuing professional sports. Zaland was his name and he had recently broken up with his girlfriend in favor of an old woman. This older woman was known as Uiona. She was plagued with an unhappy marriage like so many others. Such was why she was walking with Zaland now.

Lucien took a long drag on the cigara and smiled. They probably believed they had even kept secrets from one another. But the Morganian took pleasure in learning truths. However he didn't judge either of them for what others might consider taboo. In fact he was interested in them for other reasons entirely. Getting out of his seat, Lucien stamped the cigara out and set the macrobinoculars to the side and headed down to the street level. They were headed to one of three restaurants. They had limited numbers. Or they'll call ahead to pick up somewhere. He said as he got behind a speeder and pulled out of the parking spot. His stomach grumbled a bit. He believed his continued use of burying his presence as a regular exercise was paying off. But the Morganian had to admit, it made his hunger hike up recently.

She was minding her own business for once.

A cigara, unlit, dangled from her lips. As of late, she had stopped smoking them as frequently. She was waiting in line for a prominent restaurant that had raving reviews; she was just barely hungering enough to wait, but not enough to be impatient. The smells that floated from beyond were mildly promising, but she didn't hold out hope. She had been disappointed before.

She stood alone beneath an awning, wearing basic black slacks, a dark grey blouse and a black jacket, long white hair tied back in a simple white ponytail. The effect was simple, yet oddly elegant in its' own way. Some sense tingled along her spine; amber eyes scanned the groups before her absently.

Something was bound to happen sooner or later; she merely waited, leaning against a wall and silently observing.

It wasn't long before Lucien was just a few speeder spaces behind the couple he had been watching. Even if he had not been able to pick out their vehicle he knew what direction they were heading. Calmly he headed in the same direction but turned off early to get to their destination a little faster.

The meteor speeder soon parked in the garage and came to a full stop. The morganian's driving gloves were made sure to be tightened and secure before he opened up and exited the car. He knew where the cameras already were in the parking lot. He had scouted this area out already and kept to the blind spots which were many. But the restaurant and the parking garage were both closer to the upper levels than anything.

Hearing another speeder door open he could see the couple exiting their airspeeder. "I'm just going to grab for pickup." The frat boy said. "Just wait here." The woman shook her head. "The staff is going to hate you not dining in. That's half the reason people come here" The woman's tone letting her date know her own opinion on the matter. "I'll be right back."

Lucien waited for the younger male to be gone from sight and then moved from shadow to shadow until he was close to the couple's air speeder. For a moment he rescinded his buried his presence. Taking a deep breath he redirected his focus to become silent or at least quieter. Before the woman had a chance to realize he was right outside her door he placed a palm against the window and had her fall into an unconscious state. The man wanted to make sure she would be out for a good hour or so.

Afterwards he reached down and pulled on the door handle. It was unlocked. A small smile crept across Lucien's face but disappeared as he looked around to make sure nobody was watching. Next was Zaland. Closing the door and leaving the woman in her seat he headed towards the restaurant.

The restaurant was quite literally just around the corner. Lucien exited the parking garage and saw the line of people. He continue walking but turned into the service alley meant mostly employees or city maintenance crews to traverse. It was narrow and not as pretty as the front of the building. Non-the less, it lacked any foot traffic. Lucien did not stoop or try and walk abnormally, darting behind any source of cover. Instead the Morganian simply continued like he was taking a shortcut to the other side of the block.

The back of a door opened ahead. The Morganian slowed his advance to the employee entrance. But his pulse was slow and cool. He had been observing the couple. But more than that, he had learned the regular shifts of the restaurant Zaland. The private messages, the reservations and lengths the young man had gone through had all left an easy snare to be set. It was no surprise that when the door began to close Lucien's left hand splayed out, grasping the minimum telekenetic strength need to keep the door open.

Am I a hunter? What am I saying? All humans and near-humans are predators. He thought to himself as he continued to the doorway. His freehand moved in front of the door sensors, triggering the auto-open feature. At most, the logs would maybe shot the door being held open a few extra seconds but several members of the staff were smokers. Although, the noble born Serenno native had to admit the restaurant was an excellent choice. Even in the back alley he could smell the succulent dishes being prepared in the kitchen.
