Cato Neimoidia was a world that Arla had never visited before, and if it weren't for the fact that a contract had gone out to Apex and the other Guilds, maybe she never would have.
Tarz Quarn - as she had discovered the man's name was - was wanted for the assassination of a member of Czerka. Or perhaps assassination was too strong of a word. One of the executives had been killed and robbed and Quarn had fled the Corporate Sector and headed to Cato Neimoidia. Arla had tracked him down through blood and sweat, and now she was closing in on him.
She would have thought that the target would have been hiding out in a tiny apartment in the slums, but that couldn't have been further from the truth. Tarz had taken up in a penthouse apartment - apparently pulling down a decent sum from his robbery/murder - and it occurred to Arla that there may have been more going on here.
An assassination, after all? she wondered to herself. Made to look like a robbery? It was hard to say, but if it was a professional hit then it was a sloppy one.
The sun had begun to set in the distance, and Arla's attention was once again drawn to how weird it was to stand on a city that was upside down. This was... just wrong. An affront to nature with its artificial gravity and all of that. She shook her head and rolled her eyes, continuing to sit on the bench out front of the apartment and simply wait while she munched on some of her veggie snacks. She could feel in the pit of her stomach that something was going to happen soon, but what she wasn't sure.
