Luke selects the busiest barge and leads his little party over to it. He addresses its quartermaster, “Command sent me down to pick up a classified load,” Luke says.
The captain studies Luke, then Sidney and Gideon. He consults his datavid and punches a few buttons. “Of course, sir. Go ahead.”
“Thank you,” Luke says. He leads the way aboard the cavernous ship. When they are safely out of earshot, he turns to Gideon and Sidney. “We’ll make a few trips, and then find a good hiding place.”
“Sounds good,” Gideon comments.
As they walk down the cargo hold ramp, six stormtroopers step into view. Luke immediately starts back up the ramp, but six more stormtroopers step out of their hiding places at teh top of the ramp.
Luke drops his box, then slowly leads the way back down the ramp. “Sorry, Colonel,” the quartermaster says, placing a sardonic emphasis on the last word, “Command alerted us to watch for you three hours ago.”
