Jayne smiled in the darkness, knowing he got under her skin. “Say, Little River. What happened twixt you and Flying Officer Flowers?”
River felt as if a bucket of cold water had been suddenly tossed on her. She hadn’t told them the name of the officer she had kidnapped. How did he know? “What…who?”
Jayne knew she was lying. “You know, cute thing, long black hair, Alliance officer, a pilot. Came aboard just off Paquin. Inspecting ships they were, looking for you. Made us open the chamber. She saw your foot. Did nothing. Told Zoe, “Tell River good luck.” Jeeze, what the hell really happened down on Paquin?”
