After Ezra and Moreena had left to search Carnage's office, Kanan was at the bar at the second level. He saw Carnage making his way to second floor where his personal booth that is at the other end from the stage. When he got there, he sat there for a while.Who is he waiting for? He wondered. Kanan heard his comlink beeped. He turned around towards the bar table and hunched over before answering it.

"How's it going Kanan?" called Ezra.

"Carnage is at his booth waiting for someone," Kanan replied, "But be quick. I don't know how long he'll be there."

"Will do," Ezra answered, and deactivated his comlink.

He continued to watch the Zygerrian waiting for someone until that someone showed up. Kanan recognized a short, stout and red alien with stubby arms and legs who shook hands with Carnage and sat down with him. Azmorigan?, thought Kanan, Why would Carnage be talking with this low life? More importantly, What's Azmorigan even doing here? I don't even want to know. He ordered a drink while he kept his eye on the two men who seemed to be talking for a long time. What are they talking about? He wondered.

"Hello there."

Kanan jumped, turned around and saw the person who just talked to him: Cad Bane. Todo 360 was with him. Kanan swallowed and stiffened. You've got to be kidding, thought Kanan.

"You're the guy that was with Hondo," said Bane.

Kanan pulled himself together and said,"Oh, I'm surprised that you even remember me,"

"Of course I remember you," replied Bane, "How could I forget someone who seems to idolize me."

"Right," said Kanan, forcing a smile.

"Mind if I sit with you?" Bane requested.

"Uh...," Kanan hesitated at first but said, "No, go ahead."

Bane took a seat right next to Kanan, blocking his view on Carnage. The little droid sat on the other side of his owner. He ordered a drink and says nothing afterwards. Oh, perfect, Kanan complained in his head, I'm sitting right next to a bloodthirsty bounty hunter that's blocking my sight on Carnage. It's bad enough that he's here working with that pedophile. Now I have to deal with this guy!? How could it any worse? A drunk rodian wobbled past them, crudely singing "Light of Hope". When the bartender returned with Bane's drink, Bane pulled out a small bottle out of his belt and poured something on to his his hand. A small white pill landed on his hand and Bane popped it into his mouth, washing down with his drink. Bane glanced at Kanan and raised the bottle towards Kanan.

"Aspirin?" he offered.

Kanan relaxed after finding out it's only aspirin. Come to think of it, all the noises in this building is giving him a splitting headache. Kanan nodded and held up his hand, which Bane poured the pill on. After Kanan swallowed it, the pair were silence again. Finally, Bane was the one who broke the silence.

"What's your name?" asked Bane, glancing to Kanan.

"Huh?"

"Your name," Bane repeated, "Or am I gonna have to call you Captain Eyepatch?"

"It's Kyle Stoneheart actually," Kanan lied.

"Nice to make your acquaintance, Stoneheart," Bane greeted, casually shaking hands with Kanan, "Are you a bounty hunter?"

Kanan pursed his lips and gone quiet. Oh, karabast, thought Kanan, He's not gonna go away is he? If I get in a conversation with him, I'll lose focus on Carnage. But if I don't, he'll get suspicious. Well, if that's the case, Kanan, don't just sit there like an idiot. Better come up with something! Kanan glanced past Bane's shoulder and saw Carnage still talking with Azmorigan. Then he looked back at Bane who waited patiently for him to answer.

"Why yes I am," Kanan continued to deceive, "How did you know?"

"I can easily tell a bounty hunter when I see one," Bane explained.

Kanan and Bane continued talking casually the whole time while Ezra and Moreena looked for clues. They talked about their bounty hunting days, dilemmas they end up facing and how difficult their prey was. Bane mentioned the time when he used Todo as a diversion when he broke into a jedi temple by planting a bomb on him. Todo freaked out when he realized that it was Bane who put the bomb on him. Kanan made sure to keep an eye on Carnage, who is still there, while having a conversation with the Duro. He also found himself growing comfortable around Bane, completely forgotten why he was so afraid of him. Who knew pretending to be a bounty hunter can be so much fun, thought Kanan.

"How did you end up here in this nuthouse, babysitting some slaves?" asked Kanan.

"I don't know," said Bane, "Just bored I guess. Things just aren't as exciting as the time of the Clone Wars. No Republicains to tick off. And of course no Jedi to hunt."

"What about hunting some Rebels?" Kanan obliviously suggested, "It's just as fun as catching jedis." Kanan twitched when he said that, Oh my stars! What did I say!?

"I've been doing those a few times but it's not the same," said Bane, "But I have something else in mind. Something everyone thinks they're extinct."

"Really? And what's that?" Kanan inquired, lifting his cup towards his lips. Bane raised a slight close-lipped smile and slowly leaned towards Kanan's ears. Kanan became uncomfortable when he got close to his face.

"Jedis," he whispered.

Kanan's uncovered eye widened and nearly choked on his drink, but was able to swallow it down. He placed his cup down and looked at Bane, who has that grin on his face. He clutched onto the cup so tightly. Okay, now I remember why I'm so scared of him, he thought, Just stay calm.

"Um, I'm pretty sure the Empire had erradicated all the Jedis across the galaxy," Kanan chuckled.

"Or so they thought," Bane contended, turning towards the bar table and sipping his cup, "But when I heard the incident on Lothal saying something about Jedis being involved, that's when I realized that there are still a number of them hiding throughout the galaxy. Apparently they're with the rebels this whole time. You know, this one time when I interfered with one of their messages with this so called Fulcrum, I don't know why but there's something familiar with that guy."

"Who?" asked Kanan,all of a sudden curious.

Before Bane could answer, the same drunk Rodian wobbled by them again only this time fell on them and went from singing to squaking. Kanan, annoyed, shoved the Rodian off him and onto the railing. Bane glared at the Rodian and rolled his . Kanan noticed throbbing veins in Bane's temple and his hand clenching onto cup like he's about to crush it. Finally, without, turning around, he rolled his eyes, calmly pulling out his blaster and shoots the Rodian. The Rodian's body fell over the railing and landed on the table down below.

Kanan gasped, ran over to the railing and peered over it where he see the lifeless body being surrounded by a crowd of people. Then they all just shrugged and continued as if nothing happened. Kanan returned to his seat and crinkled his nose at Bane, who simply blows the smoke off his blaster and casually replaced it on his holster. Bane noticed that Kanan was glaring at him.

"What? He was getting on my nerve," said Bane.

"Was that really necessary?" Kanan scolded him.

"I don't hear anyone complaining," Bane pointed out.

"Good point," Kanan admitted, pressing his lips together while mentally calling him, psychopath, "So who does Fulcrum remind you of?"

"That's the thing," Bane answered, "He sounds familiar but I can't put my finger on it. One of these days I'm gonna find out who Fulcrum really is."

"Well, good luck with that," said Kanan, "Fulcrum's a slippery guy thus never gets captured. At least that's what I heard."

"Not for long," contrared Bane, "There isn't anything that can escape my grasp."

"Well, there was one time when someone got to Ziro the Hutt before us and killed him," Todo alluded, "And there was the time when the plan to kidnap Palpatine in Naboo failed and you got arrested."

"Shut up!" Bane snapped at the droid, "Anyway, hunting down jedis along with rebels and solving the mystery of Fulcrum. This is going to be fun. Maybe even better."

A Zygerrian guard walked up to Bane and whispered to his ear. Then he walked past Kanan and left. Kanan watched the Zygerrian leave and looked at Bane who is leaving a few credits on the bar and gets up.

"What is it?" asked Kanan.

"Carnage wants to talk to me in his office," Bane explained.

Kanan heart jumped and peered around Bane. Carnage and Azmorigan are now leaving the booth! Oh, karabast! I was supposed to be was supposed to be watching him! Thought Kanan.

"Well, it was nice meeting you, Stoneheart," said Bane, "We'll meet again. Oh, and by the way," Bane leans towards Kanan and flicked his finger on the brim of Kanan's hat, "Hats are my thing," he leaves. Todo flies up to Kanan.

"You have a nice night," said Todo, and flies off.

"Bye," said Kanan.

As soon as they were gone, Kanan quickly looked over the railing and searched the crowd. He spotted Carnage making his way through the crowd, halfway to the other side. Kanan zipped out of the bar but not before paying for his drink. When he got to an empty hallway and made sure it was clear, he pulled up his comlink and contacted Ezra.

"What is it, Kanan?" Ezra responded.

"Ezra, Carnage is on his way back," Kanan warned him.

"What!?" the two teenagers yelled through the commlink.

"You two need to get of there, NOW!" commanded Kanan.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kanan waited anxiously in the hallway. How could he be so careless? He was supposed to be keeping an eye out for Carnage so that he can give them a heads up. It wasn't that hard. He should've known that he was going run into Bane. Had Bane not shown up and bother him, he would've been able to warn the kids on time. I hope they got out of there alright, he thought, Who knows what Carnage will do when he finds out that Moreena is a spy and that they were with the rebels. I wonder how Bane will react when he learns I was a part of this. Kanan shuddered at the thought, All hell will break loose I suppose. Ezra...Moreena...where are you two? Kanan felt his comlink beeping and pressed a button on it.

"Kanan, we got out of there, safely," Ezra spoke to the comlink.

"Good," Kanan sighed in relief, "Meet me back at the hallway."

"We'll be there," Ezra replied and comlink goes off.
