The Mediator

Things were getting dangerous in the cantina, there was Stormtroopers lurking around. Aegon suspected that his accomplancies were somehow involved with it all. He decided it would be safer if he, Mojokerto and Trantis met in an area a little quieter. He decided the best place would be where his ship The Nimble Dragon was stationed, the Nimble Dragon was a YT-2000 that had been slightly modified to make it more effective in combat. It was stationed in Bay Nineteen. Trantis went with Aegon, whileInna returned to fetch Mojokerto. Both Baron and Niko Trantis had been silent the entire time. Finally Mojokerto and Inna appeared out of the shadows, Mojokerto extended his arms. "Niko Trantis we meet officially at last."
"Mojo." Trantis smiled. Inna stood in the middle of the two gangsters, as did Baron they were both practically impartial in these affairs even though Inna trusted Niko more.

"So Rebel you have arranged a deal for me with the Farghul eh?"
"I believe Trantis is prepared to discuss the matter properly." Baron said with some confidence, he could still barely believe he was mediating a deal between two gangsters. "I want your boys to stay off my land? Simple enough." Mojokerto smiled.
"What exactly do you consider your 'land' Mojokerto?"
"All of the Ayoun District?" Niko was gobsmacked by what Mojo had just proposed, the Ayoun District was a massive area. "Are you serious all of the Ayoun District? You know how many connections I have in this turf?" Trantis asked.
"I imagine quite a lot, but sometimes connections must be severed."
"Wait sorry to interrupt but how big is this Ayoun District" Baron huffed.
"About one fifth of the planet..." Inna whispered into his ear.
"How about half of Ayoun - I'll take about five-hundred blocks and you can have the rest?"
"You can have two-hundred-fifty blocks. But only if you kill the rat Inna!" Mojokerto barked. Inna and Baron looked terrified. "That's not necessary!" Baron shouted. Inna held tightly onto Baron's arm. "Stop them rebel please."

Niko Trantis pulled out his pistol and held it pointed at Inna's chest. "Forgive me Inna..." Trantis sighed. The Twi'lek couldn't believe she was going to die over two-hundred-fifty blocks. Her hand squeezed tighter around Baron's muscle. "Seriously Trantis you don't need to do this, spare Inna please." Baron couldn't believe what he was watching, but deep inside he had a feeling that Niko Trantis wouldn't kill her. Aegon always had a sense when someone had a plan. It certainly seemed like Trantis had a plan. "Forgive me girl," Niko whispered. Thwip! Suddenly Niko quickly turned the gun and shot at Mojokerto. A direct hit in the Besalisk's right eye; obviously stunned Mojokerto fell swiftly to the concrete ground below. "Now would be a good time to run!" Trantis roared. Aegon and Inna looked at each other almost as equally stunned as Mojokerto himself.
