Something is wrong.

It had started after their last mission to Rishi and Jyn is still running the events of the mission through her mind, over and over, looking for a clue as to what went wrong. As far as missions went, she had thought it had been one of their more straightforward missions, a simple recon outing. Nothing had been out of the ordinary, nothing had triggered any of her internal defense mechanisms, nothing had happened.

And yet, something is wrong.

Walking through the remote outpost they were staying at, Cassian had frozen beside her coming to a complete standstill. Every instinct in Jyn went on high alert; hands drifting to her side to lay against her blaster, eyes darting around to seek out the threat. Cassian had not moved, eyes fixated on the corner of a nearby building.

“Hey.” Jyn refrained from reaching out, “What is it?”

He turned slowly to face her, eyes distant. Blinking, he took in her stance, the tight coil of her muscles and had let out his breath. “Nothing. It’s nothing.”

Jyn searched his face, “Are you sure?”

Cassian looked back at the building before resuming his stride towards their building. “It’s nothing.”

But the look Cassian tossed over his shoulder towards the building hadn’t felt like nothing.
