Evelyn took a step back in shock and fear.  They had been monitoring everything to make sure that this didn't happen--that Terex didn't get close to her.  Yet, here he was, standing in front of her in that chaos filled square, blaster trained on her.

Terex smiled at her. "You seemed surprised to see me, Miss Skywalker. You know, I couldn't make it obvious that I was here--otherwise, we both know Dameron would have left you behind--safe and sound with the Resistance." He glanced over his shoulder briefly. "And, my dear, speaking of Dameron--we need to get going before he comes to and realizes what is going on.  I really want to do this with as little blood spilled as possible."

"Really? The bombs kinda put a kink in that plan," Evelyn snapped, stepping away from him further. "And I'm not going with you."

"I will stun you and drag you out of here if I have too," Terex warned her. "Let's not make a scene."

BB-8 rolled forward then, his shock arm extended and he zapped the unsuspecting First Order agent.  He dropped his blaster and Evelyn took the opportunity to turn and run. She would have gotten away, she would have been able to use the chaotic scene around her to escape--if someone hadn't been waiting for her to try just that.  She slammed into the solid body and gasped. Behind her she could hear BB-8 frantically beeping. For the briefest second, Evelyn felt relief wash through her--until she realized that Oddy was standing there holding a blaster at her. "Oddy? What are you doing here?"

Oddy glanced nervously at Terex. "I'm sorry, Lieutenant, I didn't have a choice. I didn't want... I didn't want to hurt you or Commander Dameron--I consider you my friends--but he has my Sowa."

Evelyn turned and glared at the First Order agent, making her feelings for him quite evident on her face.  "Bastard, using someone that he loves against him to get what you want.  I guess I shouldn't be surprised from someone that worships the Emperor."

Terex gestured with his blaster.  "Let's go, Miss Skywalker; you have an appointment to keep with General Hux and I have a payday to collect on."

"You can tell General Hux I respectfully decline his invitation," Evelyn snapped, feeling Oddy grab her by the arm.

"Please, Lieutenant, please do as he says."  He grunted when she caught him in the stomach with her elbow, knocking the wind out of him and forcing him to release his hold on her.  

She scrambled away, trying to find a means to escape, but now Terex blocked her path, blaster aimed at her.  Evelyn stepped back, swallowing anxiously--for the first time in years she reached out to the Force, drawing on its power, its energy, and she ripped the blaster from the First Order agent's hand--straight into her own.  Behind her she could feel Oddy, and with the blaster aimed at Terex, she held her other hand out and froze the mechanic in place.  "I told you--I wasn't going with you."

Terex smiled at her, willfully. "I see why they're so interested in you--quite the display of power, Miss Skywalker."

"You haven't seen power yet," Evelyn snapped at him. 

"Then show me," Terex dared her, throwing a vibroblade towards her.  

Quickly, Evelyn reached out and flung the knife aside, but that meant she released her hold on Oddy. She managed to scramble out of his reach, distracting him by throwing a crate at him through the Force.  She felt Terex behind her but before she could react, Poe came out of nowhere and tackled him to the ground, landing a right hook on his jaw. 

Jumping to his feet, Poe reached for her hand and grasped it. "Let's go, Evie! Run!" Pulling her through the crowd, Poe headed back towards their ship.  "Snap!" he shouted into his commlink, "start the damn ship up! We need to get out of here fast!" 

Evelyn heard Snap respond to him that they'd be ready to go once the other pilots made it back to the ship.  She glanced behind her to see BB-8 was furiously rolling behind them, along with Terex and Oddy giving chase.  When she saw Terex had obtained another blaster, aiming at them, she shoved Poe out of the way, just before the blast bolt hit him in the back. Instead the blast grazed his arm and Poe let out a cry of pain as he fell to the street, clutching at the wound.  "Poe!" Evelyn cried out, reaching for him and helping him get back to his feet. "I'm sorry! He was going to shoot you in the back... I didn't know what else to do!"

Poe shook his head and kept running.  They were almost to the ship.  "It's fine, I'll live," he ground out, in obvious pain. "It's more important that we back to the ship and get the hell out of here." They were so close--Poe could see their ship--and then Terex stepped in their path, blocking their escape.  Poe skidded to a halt and turned in the opposite direction but it was fruitless--Oddy blocked that means of escape. Even if the pained look in his eyes gave away that he did not want to hurt them, both Poe and Evelyn knew that he would, if he had too, to protect his wife.  Clutching Evelyn's hand, he pulled her behind him, protectively standing in front of her. 

"Step aside, Commander," Terex ordered him.

"No, I won't let you take her," Poe growled. 

"I'm going to enjoy blasting you," the First Order agent snapped, priming his blaster.

"Poe... let me go," Evelyn whispered.

Shaking his head from the sudden fog, Poe glanced at her. "No, Evelyn--I won't them take you to him."

Clenching her jaw, she reached out and repeated, "You have to let me go." 

Blinking, Poe let go of her hand and stepped back. "I have to let you go."

A tear slid down her cheek as she felt Terex grab her arm.  Evelyn let him pull her backwards; she hated that she was tricking Poe like this--but she had too.  Otherwise, they would kill him. "Poe, you need to get on the ship. You need to leave." And he did--he got back on the ship, in a daze of course no thanks to her.  Evelyn stood there, tears clouding her vision as the ship lifted into the sky. It wouldn't take him long to figure out what happened.  She knew he'd be furious.  She just prayed that if she made it back to the Resistance she had not broken whatever trust he had in her.

Terex led her back to his ship, locking her in a cell.  He didn't say a word to her; didn't even look at her.

Evelyn stood back from the force-field and swallowed, anxiously.  "Where are we going?" she asked, hating how timid her voice sounded in that moment.

"Kaddak," the First Order agent replied.

"Kaddak?" Evelyn repeated. "That lawless planet is where you're handing me over to General Hux?"

"Oh, no, that's not where I'm handing you over--we're going there until I get paid."

"Worried that the First Order might double cross you?"

He laughed, glancing at her. "I've been around long enough, Miss Skywalker, to know that you always make sure you get paid for your services before delivering the goods.  Otherwise, you will get double-crossed and end up broke."

She wrapped her arms around herself, hugging tightly to stem the wave of anxiety washing over her.  "And if General Hux refuses to pay you? What are you going to do with me?"

Terex shrugged. "I'm sure I can find someone in this galaxy willing to pay my price."

Evelyn felt sick to her stomach. "I'm just a transaction to you, nothing more."

"I'm sorry, my dear," Terex replied just before he headed towards the cockpit of his ship, "don't take it personally--it's just good business."

-----

Kaleb had only ever seen Poe this furious once before--and he was so wrapped up the fear and ramifications over Evelyn being captured that he couldn't even recall what his friend at been mad at.  However, right now, from the moment the yacht had touched down... Poe was on the warpath. The pilot was angry at everyone it seemed--Terex, the First Order, himself--Evelyn.  He seemed to be the most angry at her, for using the Force against him.  Kaleb was surprised she had resorted to such a tactic but he knew why she had done it.  "Listen," Kaleb said to the commander once he had stormed into the command center, trying to calm him, "she only tricked you as a last resort. To keep you and the others safe."

Poe clenched his jaw. "Really? Have you ever had someone violate you like that before, Kaleb? Have you ever had someone take control of your mind without even asking? Of course not! Because you're Force sensitive and would be able to fight it off! That isn't the case for someone like me!  I trusted her to never do something like that and she did it anyway!" 

Leia held her hand up when she noticed that Kaleb was going to counter.  Her nephew took a step back.  Gently, the general placed her hand on Poe's uninjured arm.  "Poe, she did it to protect you--do you think you would have gotten away?"

"We were so close, General," Poe said, shaking his had sadly. "She didn't give me enough time to come up with a plan."

"Terex would have killed you before then," Kaleb threw out. "Evelyn did you a favor."

"I let my guard down," the commander mumbled. "My gut was telling me that Oddy was involved..."

"He fooled us all, Poe," Leia pointed out. "Now, let's just focus on getting Evelyn back safe and sound. We still have time to mount a rescue but we need to act quickly."

Poe nodded and rubbed his hand over his face. He didn't even know where to being to look for Evelyn or location for where Terex could have taken her.  BB-8 bumped him in the leg and beeped, softly.  Glancing up, Poe set his jaw. "You're right, buddy. That map of First Order bases might help us.  Can you call it up?"

BB-8 was rolling to the center of Leia's office, when someone knocked on the glass.  Leia gestured for them to enter, watching as Major Brance stepped inside.  He waited for the door to shut behind him before speaking, "General, Commander Dameron is receiving an encrypted message--from Kaddak."

Leia quirked an eyebrow in his direction. Poe glanced at her, horrified. "Kaddak? I promise you, General, I do not know anyone on that planet. I don't know why someone would be contacting me from there."

"Well, play the message," Kaleb snapped at Brance. Maybe, if they were lucky, it was information on Evelyn's whereabouts. 

"Captain, the message is intended for only Commander Dameron," Brance said, eyeing Kaleb, cautiously.

"Major, I give you permission to play it in front of everyone," Poe said, crossing his arms over his chest.

Brance sighed and handed a data chip to Leia, who inserted it into the holoprojector. They watched as Oddy's image was projected.  Poe's shoulders immediately stiffened as the mechanic began to speak, letting them know that Evelyn was fine--for the time being. "Agent Terex is waiting to get paid before handing Lieutenant Skywalker over to the First Order, if you hurry, Commander, the Resistance might be able to save her. I've sent you schematics of Terex's complex here on Kaddak, Commander--security codes--but you must act quickly. I... I need to go... I am so very sorry... I didn't want to hurt Lieutenant Skywalker... but he left me no choice."

Poe's jaw twitched as Oddy disappeared from the projector. If Terex found out that he'd sent that message to the Resistance it would mean death for the mechanic.  He glanced at Kaleb and then at Leia.  "General?"

Leia nodded. "You and Kaleb need to leave immediately--bring Evelyn home."
