Plot summary
On the planet Lothal, Garazeb Orrelios walks through an alley talking via comlink to Kanan Jarrus, wrongly assuming he has reached their agreed-upon rendezvous point. He comes across two stormtroopers interrogating a salesman. The stormtroopers kick over his droid, and he tries to hand them something. They assume it is a bribe, and prepare to arrest him, which prompts Orrelios to knock the troopers out. Two more troops spot him and proceed to give chase. Orrelios finds his way to a landed TIE fighter. He knocks out the pilot as stormtoopers begin to fire at him. They loose sight of Orrelios, who jumps on top of the TIE fighter, and then back down on to one of them. He then engages the troops in a physical confrontation. The pilot of the fighter gets up, pointing a gun at Orrelios and calling for reinforcements. Orrelios outwits the pilot and takes him out as more troops arrive. As a result of their random firing, a fuel leak forms in the TIE fighter's tank and soon a laser blast causes the fighter to explode. Orrelios survives the explosion, walking away unharmed. The salesman offers payment to Orrelios for his deed, but he only takes a piece of fruit from the man's basket. Orellios prepares for another skirmish as more stormtroopers arrive.

Continuity
This short was adapted into a short story by Michael Kogge in the chapter book Rise of the Rebels, as well as into the young readers book, Zeb to the Rescue.
