What's next?
later that night, warn Durga
You wait for the fuss to die down, and Luke is dragged off to the dungeons. Durga makes some empty threat about a public execution, but you're sure Durga is just stalling for time to think of a next move. This entire event has caught you by surprise. You make a nod at Durga, who senses your intentions, and slithers away to speak with you.
"Yes, Jess?" You look back the Hutt, trepidation in your face, until you finally decide to tell him. You take one last look at Leia, chained to the dais on the other side of the room, making sure she is out of earshot.
"They're up to something," you say.
"Well of course, they broke into my palace--"
"No, it's more than that," you cut him off. "They have a plan, and it's working perfectly."
"How can you be certain?"
"I..." you hesitate. You realize this is more of a hunch than a certainty, but you press ahead. "I just know."
"Very well, what do you recommend?" Durga looks down at you, questions in his eyes, as you realize just how much trust he has put in you. He'll do what you recommend.
