Womack! Sumbitch, Pain! You surprised me with that one!
I have the Tall Card directions from fireflywiki somewhere...needed 'em for the HoG. I'll get em posted soon.

Fanty & Mingo were at their favorite table at The Maidenhead.

"So, ya buy into that story about reavers?"

"Nah, brother. They were playing us. Like we look that stupid. We'll find someone else to run that vault job. Have we heard back from Reynolds?"

Fanty shakes his head, "Not yet. Seems they had to make an urgent stop and let off some passengers."

Mingo grins and raises his drink, "That's a good sign. Too many witnesses tends to...complicate."

"That it does." Fanty gestures for another drink and settles back to wait for the next bit of business to stroll through the door.

---------------
On 'Serenity' Wolf is enjoying his time on the bridge, at the controls. Wash is later back than he'd said, but since he finally had Zoe to himself, not a one was going to say a word.

"You think she'll forgive you, now she doesn't remember you?" Jaynes' voice, cool and dark, comes from the doorway behind Wolf. "She's just as like to shoot you, if she remembers."

"Yeah, maybe. But she can't aim for crap." Wolf quips as he checks the com-panel and makes a slight adjustment to avoide a debris field.

Jayne chuckles. "You just better hope that she doesn't remember. As for me..."

Now he slips up close, the predator, "I'm just as much about makin' ones own way in the world as anybody else. Been accused of bein' narci..narssist.. self-centered 'afore. Sometimes, a better offer comes along and a man's gotta take it, gotta think of himself.

It's a hard 'verse, Wolf, ain't that right?"

After a pause to see if Wolf is listening, or disagreeing, or ignoring him completely, Jayne continues, "See, I'm a man who understands that. Still, next time you burn bridges with this crew, is the next time you see the barrel of my gun lookin' back. Dong ma?"

Spacer's Bar & Grill: Refueling Station 15

*Pain smiled back at the waitress as she set his and Annabelle's drinks on the table. The waitress smiled back and said*

Have you two decided on what you'll be having?

*Pain grinned and replied*

I'll have the beer battered fish and chips.

*The waitress wrote down Pain's order, then said to the girl*

And what about you sweetie?

*Annabelle replied*

I'll have the Tatteroids and Chicken Stars.

*The waitress smiled, wrote down the girl's order, then took the menus as they were handed to her and said*

You're orders will be here shortly. Can I get you two anything else?

*Pain smiled and said*

Nope I believe we're fine Miss.

*The waitress smiled and then headed back to the kitchen to hand the cook the orders. Pain turned to his daughter and said*

Come on bao bei we need to go.

*Annabelle looked at her dad with a confused look in her eye and said*

Why daddy? We just got here and I'm starving!

*Pain looked at his daughter and replied*

That waitress was actin' weird hon. Means somethin' ain't kosher around here. We need to go ma shong.

*At that Pain took a hold of his daughter's arm and ushered her out of the booth quietly so as not to raise the waitress's attention. Annabelle tried to protest but she knew it'd be useless. They were about to exit the door when Pain heard the waitress shout*

HEY STOP THAT MAN RIGHT THERE!!!

*Pain looked back, noticing two burly men stand up from their table and said under his breath*

Great British tactic: RUN AWAY!!!! BTW: thought Guy was flying the ship for Wash...

"Looks cosy." Mal said as Haven came into view. More than a moon than a planet, the dull green and browns making it seem more of a mudball than anything.

"Thanks Wolf," Wash said as he sat back in the pilots chair.

"Anytime," the half man/half machine said, walking off to the galley.

"So how well do you know the locals shepard?" Mal asked, glancing across to Book in the co pilots seat.

"Lets just say theres no chance of us getting shot." Book replied, grin across his face.

"Wow, the doc's gonna have a day off." Wash replied sarcastically. "Well touch wo.... .... Captain, we got any wood around here?"

Spacer's Bar & Grill: Refueling Station 15

*Pain looked at his daughter then back at the two men walking towards them. Pain sized up the men and said to his daughter out of the corner of his mouth*

Sweetie I'm goin' to need you to run to the nearest lift and wait for me there. Ok?

*Annabelle looked at her dad, then at the men coming towards them, then nodded to her dad. Pain stepped in front of her as she headed out of the eatery. Pain smiled at the two men and said*

Afternoon fellas can I interest you two in an ass kickin' or would you like the Pain special?

*The two men growled at Pain and unholstered their weapons. Pain looked at the guns then said, still smiling*

Well it looks like you two have decided on the special. I hope you two have medical insurance.

*Pain went for his gun only to realize it wasn't there. Pain looked at the two men who looked at each other then at Pain. They grinned at Pain as they pointed their guns at him. Pain gave a forced chuckle and said*

Now now fellas no need to go postal. We're all reasonable people now aren't we?

*Pain was backing out of the Spacer's Bar & Grill as he was trying to persuade the two men from not shooting him. He glanced around for something to defend himself against two armed behemouths when he saw the spice vendor on his right. The man wasn't that far from Pain and he made his way towards him, still facing the two gunmen. Pain said to them, slowly sidestepping over to the paprika bin*

Why don't you two just put down those guns and we all have a nice talk over some beer.

*The two men looked at each other which gave Pain the perfect chance to grab a handful of paprika. As the two men turned their gaze back to Pain they were blinded by a red cloud of spice. Screaming in agony as they tried to get the spice out of their eyes, Pain ran like hell as the two men started to fire wildly. Pain ran to the nearest lift which was a good deal away from the Spacer's Bar & Grill. He spotted his daughter, gave her a smile and said to her as they stepped into the lift*

Didn't I tell you we were goin' to have some adventure?

*Annabelle just looked at her dad as the lift doors closed and the lift headed to the level that Pain had punched into the keypad.*

"Help me Obi Wan, your the only hope."

Mal stared curiously at the little projector droid come repair thing.

"Maybe not, got enough crew as it is," he said to the robot salesmen. Stepping out of the marketplace and into the burning sunshine the captain shaded his eyes, noting his crew helping the shepard and 13 (?) set up home. Captain hadn't been to happy about losing four of his crew in such a short space of time.

"Everything nearly done shepard? We've got crime to do," Mal asked, helping the shepard lift a large trunk.

"Youi sure you don't want to stay a while and bear your sins? Confession can do a world of good." Book replied.

"When i mean't crime, i mean't crime for people with big, Jayne-like, all slightly scary with scars and guns that can cause a world of pain. Fanty and Mingo have got whole Bars full of them, now we can't take out a whole bar full of Jayne's." Mal stated.

"Captain Reynolds?" the shepard said resting the trunk down, and offering his hand, "Its been a pleasure. And fell free to stop by anytime.."

"To confess about our evil deeds and told about the special hells?" Mal enquired sarcastically, shaking the other mans hand.

"Would be a start," shot back Book with a grin.

"When am I supposed to feel tranquil and all fuzzy?" 13 said aloud, taking in the dusty environment of Haven. A place not too dissimilar to his native Zenith, in appearances at least.

"I'd be shocked if you ever started to get fuzzy, 13," a familiar voice poked in.

13 half-drew his sword and turned, easing when he saw the face that matched the voice.

A tall, striking woman, with lustrous, waist length black hair, stood before him, carrying an air of thinly veiled tension. The place where her left leg should have been was replaced by a cruel-looking steel prosthetic, as with her left arm, the left side of her face covered by a white opera mask. She smiled broadly at 13's surprise, one violet eye gleaming.

"Calisto? We were going to meet at Beaumonde, but I..."

"Decided to take a vacation. What, piggybacking on that little hauler too much of a strain?"

"Better than when I was flying out with you, though," 13 answered,

"And yet you still left? Hm. Anyway, I got here just a few hours before you did, on Famine. Now, we'd better settle down into that meeting."

13 shook his head. "Introductions first. Need you to meet a few people."

Calisto let out a whistling breath of frustration, allowing 13 to lead her to Shepherd Book.

"People?" Calisto said with a wry smile. "That crew of yours left in an awful hurry, didn't they?" She extended her good right hand. "Call me Calisto."

"I'm called Book." He accepted her hand graciously, causing Calisto's eyebrow to rise.

"Great, we shook hands, we know each other's names, life-long friends." Calisto turned to 13. "Down to the icky stuff, friend."

I'm here....finally.

*Pain punched in the code for his uncle's ship and waited for the signal to connect. He looked at the numbers scroll past on the screen and said to himself*

Level 6...5...come on hurry up you slow piece of gos se.

*Annabelle looked at her dad and said*

DAAAAD! No cursing.

*Pain looked at his daughter and said, smiling*

Sorry about that little one. Guess I forgot about you bein' a child and all.

*Annabelle rolled her eyes and replied*

Yeah suyre you did dad.

*Pain looked at his daughter and said*

You're just mad at me cause we had to leave that place without eatin' anythin' first ain't you?

*Annabelle turned around and folded her arms across her chest. Pain muttered to himself*

Figures.

*The vidscreen in the lift came online with Pain's uncle's face. Pain smiled and said*

Hey there uncle. I was callin' to ask which airlock you were goin' to be at seein' as there's been a change of plans.

*Pain's uncle raised a brow and said*

What kind of changes are we talkin' 'bout son?

*Pain just smiled and replied*

Oh just the kind where I'm possibly arrested for somethin'.

*Pain's uncle gave a small chuckle and said*

Ah the usual then ok. I shoud be dockin' at Airlock 7 on Level 2 in 'bout ten minutes. So what's with the girl? She mad at you are somethin'?

*Pain looked at his daughter, then back at his uncle and said*

You could say that. Level 2 you say? Well hopefully if I don't run into any trouble then I'll meet you there. Pain out.

*Pain turned off the vidscreen and turned to his daughter as the lift stopped at the selected level. He said to her*

Come on sweety we have to go now.

*Annabelle sighed and let her dad take her hand as they stepped out of the lift.*

Meanwhile on Level 8 of Refueling Station 15

*Womack walked onto the promenade followed by his two goons. They scanned the scene, saw the Spacer's Bar & Grill and walked over to it. Womack said to the one called Skunk*

I want you to call this station's security base and have them put a landlock on all ships that're currently docked or will be docking. If this Pain is here then we don't want him to leave.

*Skunk nodded as Womack and the other Fed walked into the Spacer's Bar & Grill and went to work contacting the station's security base.*

"uh, Mr Reynolds," Choo called as Mal tried to enter his bunk.

"What?" MAl asked disgruntled. Last few weeks had been very long.

"Just wondering if it would be alright for me to stay on Boro's while you go off and do your crime thing. My coin is awfully low, and seeing that its the closet to the core we've been..."

"Everyone has a problem with the crime," Mal stated sarcastically, rolling his eyes. "Sure thing, we'll wave you once were back in the neighbourhood. Dong-ma?"

"Yes sir, and thank you Captain," CHoo said, heading off to the passenger dorms.

Looking around for anymore intruptions, Mal climbed into his bunk and locked the door. Been a long couple of weeks...

*Womack and the other Fed walked out of the Spacer's Bar & Grill. Womack spotted Skunk and said*

Looks like Pain was here and by the looks of those two men inside, he ran away like a little girl.

*The three of them shared a laugh, then Womack said to Skunk*

So what's the situation with the landlocks? Are they in place yet?

*Skunk replied*

Yep there'll all in place. Last one was activated two minutes ago.

*There was a beep coming from the portable device that Skunk was carrying. He looked at it, then said smiling*

Looks like the ship at Airlock 7 is trying to undock and to add a hop in your step sir, the security feeds just saw Pain heading for that same ship.

*Womack smiled at his two goons and said*

Shiny! Let's go pay Pain a much needed visit.

*The three Feds then entered the nearest lift and headed down to Level 2.*

Airlock 7 Level 2: Refueling Station 15

*Pain with his daughter in tow smiled at his uncle who was standing in the cargo bay of his ship talking to one of his crew and said*

Long time no see uncle.

*Pain's uncle looked at Pain and said*

Well son I got some good news and some bad news.

*Pain raised a brow and said*

What's the bad news?

*Pain's uncle replied*

The bad new's is that we've been landlocked. I got the engineer workin' on gettin' it fixed.

*Pain replied*

So is the gettin' it fixed part the good news?

*Pain's uncle gave a slight chuckle and said*

Nope the good news is that I'm here to take you and my niece home.

*Pain replied*

Right. So can we get this ship of yours unlocked quickly? Cause I don't exactly like havin' the law breathin' down my neck.

*Pain's uncle gave a small laugh and said*

Hey you're more than welcome to help that engineer of mine if'n you have the skills to defeat a landlock.

*Pain just looked at his uncle as his uncle said*

That's what I thought. Why don't you show your daughter to her room.

*Pain replied*

Yeah maybe I should.

*Pain looked down at his daughter and said*

Come on sweety lets go find you a room.

*Pain took his daughter's hand and led her through the ship, unaware of the trouble that wasn't far away.*

*Pain looked around the room. It was very spartan with just a hint that it'd been used. Pain knelt down on his knees and said to his daughter*

So what do you think sweety?

*Annabelle looked at the room then said*

It's kinda plain and boring.

*Pain rolled his eyes and said*

Well yeah but it's just temporary. I'm sure if we found some paper and tape, you can make some pretty pictures and tape them to the walls. You know to make it more colorful.

*Annabelle turned to her dad and gave him a hug, then said*

Can you help me find some paper, tape, and pencils dad?

*Pain stood up and said*

Yeah sure just let me take care of some business first.

*Annabelle replied*

Ok daddy. I love you.

*Pain smiled then said*

Love you too bao bei.

*At that Pain left the room and headed down to the cargo bay where his uncle was still situated. Pain could hear some arguing down in the bay and went to see what was wrong. As Pain walked towards his uncle he could see him arguing with one of the crew. Pain spoke up*

What's the deal with all the yellin'?

*Pain's uncle looked at Pain with a worried look in his eyes and said*

Carlos here spotted three Feds heading this way. I think they might be lookin' for you.

*Pain nodded then went to check it out. He cautiously made his way to the station's inner airlock and peeked out of the open hatch. Sure enough there were three Feds heading his way. Pain swore to himself then turned to his uncle and said*

Are we still landlocked?

*Pain's uncle replied*

Yeah and it's takin' awhile 'fore that engineer of mine can get us free.

*Pain thought to himself*

Great just great. I wonder what else can go wrong.

*Just then Pain heard Womack shout*

Well well well if it ain't the infamous Pain himself.

*Pain turned around noticing that he was standing in the open airlock the whole time he was speaking to his uncle. Womack continued to yell*

Pain you don't know how much of a pleasure it'd be haulin' you're sorry butt in.

*Pain smiled the hollered back*

Yeah well you'll have to get me first.

*At that Pain closed the airlock door, locked it, then turned and yelled*

Does anyone know how to override an airlock door?

*A familiar face appeared. It was Mika the female mercenary who lusted after Pain. She calmly walked over to Pain and said*

I do.

*Pain simply replied*

Shiny get it done.

*There was a loud thumping at the door and through the porthole window Pain could see Womack's goons trying to open it on the otherside. Through the airlock's com Womack shouted*

Mr. Pain do you really think a little airlock door is goin' to stop me from apprehendin' you?

*Pain hit the com and replied*

Indeed I do Womack.

*Womack replied*

Don't be coy with me Pain or should I say Mr. Dylan Randall, a.k.a Jim Frederickson, a.k.a John Bigboote, a.k.a Donovan Richards. With the charges I have against you, you'll be locked up for a real long time.

*Pain smiled and said*

That last one's pronounced Boo-tay, Womack and I'll be coy with you as much as I'd like.

*Womack was starting to get furious but was keeping it under control as he simply replied*

Sorry for the mispronunciation on that last one. I'll be sure the boys in Processin' will get it right when they book you into the Ita Moon Penaly Colony.

*Pain took his finger off the com button and said to Mika*

How's it comin'?

*Mika smiled and replied*

So far so good. I'm giving them one hell of a hard time.

*Pain smiled then pressed the com button and said*

Ita Moon Penal Colony huh? I heard they have a great exercise facility. Tell me do all the dangerous crooks go there or just the ones who piss you off by playin' hard to get?

*Womack was furious and was yelling obscenities at Pain. Pain however simply smiled and turned off the com. He turned his attention back to Mika who was up to something else and said*

Uh what're you doin' now?

*Mika looked up at Pain, smiled and said*

Just setting up a little suprise for when those Feds come storming thro

DRPAIN

Saturday, December 2, 2006 7:01 PM

*Womack looked throught the porthole in the airlock door, saw that Pain and a suprisingly beautiful woman where heading back to the ship. Seething with anger Womack pulled out his gun and said*

Well boys looks like he's runnin'. Y'all know what that means right?

*Womack's two goons grinned as they pulled out their guns and cocked them. Skunk managed to override the controls on the airlock door and pushed it open. Womack didn't hesitate as he aimed his pistol and fired into the airlock. Pain could feel bullets whiz past him, could hear them ricochet off metal. One bullet hit him in the leg and made him fall down onto the cargo bay floor. Mika wasn't so lucky as she caught a bullet in the base of her skull, instantly killing her. As Womack saw Pain go down he smiled, then gave the order to cease fire. Womack looked at Pain, grinned and said*

Mr. Pain you have the right to remain silent. Anything you do or say will be used against you in a Parlamentary court of law.

*Womack and his men walked forward, their guns trained on the people who were dragging Mika's body into the cargo bay and attending to Pain's leg wound. Womack continued*

If you can't afford an att.....

*A loud noise and bright flash went off as Womack tripped the laser trip wire of the flashbang trap that Mika had set earlier. Womack and his goons were caught in the blast and fell unconscious. As the sound of the flashbang died down and the sound of alarms rang, Pain's uncle shouted to his crew*

Rico close the cargo bay doors! Carlos com the pilot and tell her we're runnin'!

*Rico rushed to the controls and slammed his fist down on the button and watched as the doors slammed shut. Carlos commed the pilot and told her to go to full burn.*

Moments later.....

*Womack woke up dazed and confused. He blinked his eyes as he scanned his surroundings and said*

Son of a . What happened?

*The other Fed was up and said disappointingly*

They're gone sir.

*Womack still a little dazed said*

You care to repeat that?

*The Fed replied*

They're gone. It looks like they used some type of flashbang device to knock us out and run.

*Womack spit on the ground and said*

Well what the hell are you standin' around for? Go get them!

*Skunk was the one to reply*

Uh we can't sir.

*Womack pushed himself up and growled*

And why the hell not?

*The other Fed punched up an exterior view of the airlock that they had docked to and said*

That's why sir.

*Womack looked at the screen in disbelief. What he saw was his ship floating in the Black, part of the station's airlock still attached to its airlock. Womack slammed his fist into the wall and yelled*

That son of a Pain is gonna pay!

All right you got me outta bed. So show me this important thing that you wanted to show me.

*Wash replied as he tapped his fingers on some buttons*

Your wish is my command O' Captain my Captain.

*The vidscreen came up with the warrant that Wash had saw earlier. Mal looked at it and said*

Well looks like Pain is gettin' hisself into some trouble now. Has anyone else seen this?

*Wash shook his head and replied*

Nope. So are we gonna mount a rescue op or no?

*Mal let out a breath and said*

Pain can handle himself. No need to alter course and get ourselves caught up in his mess.

*Wash was stunned at the Captain's response and replied*

But he's one of ours! Shouldn't we at least help him out?

*Mal turned, ready to head out of the bridge and said*

Yeah well he's the one who left and made us think he was dead. This is Pain's mess and he has to clean it up on his own.

*At that Mal left for his room, leaving Wash to handle Serenity's controls.*

Back at Sheydra's Training House

"Breathe deep. In. Out."

Sammy went though the yoga motions, following the cues of the instructor, breathing in and out. Her body still felt foreign and battered, and she shied away from living in it.

"Sammy?" The instructor spoke softly in her ear, "Relax your shoulders into the posture, stretch from your back....there you go..."

She didn't want to. Didn't want to feel the muscles move, the tendons stretch. Finally she stood and backed away from the rest of the class. She wasn't ready for this yet.

"Serenity's incoming. Aughta be arriving tomorrow." Fanty smiled as he slid into his seat at his favorite booth.

His brother shrugged, "Still not sure they're right for it. Still..."

"Rumors of Reavers out there." Fanty suggested quietly, "We're not likely to find anyone else this time of year."

Mingo shook his head, refilled his cup and toasted his brother, "You are devious."

"Not as much as you." Fanty changed topics quickly, "Lots of chatter on the official channels. Looks like Alliance is hot to find someone. Maybe a few someones. Probably better to go with a little unknown on this job, 'stead of the big dogs."

"I believe you're right, Fanty. Don't let it go to your head. You may be smarter, but I'm still prettier."

"Maybe we should get it a leash," Choo said quietly to the captain.

"Who, Jayne or the cat?" the browncoat replied, turning to the big merc he ordered "Jayne, put the cat."

Jayne didn't move, a stubborn look across his face.

"JAYNE!" Mal shouted.

After a few tense second Jayne let the tabby drop. Hissing at the merc the cat darted away from the crowd.

"It tore up ma bench!" the big man explained

"And you can buy a new one," Mal stated "Now get back to work, we've got a few more hours before we hit atmo.

As the small crowd dispursed, many evil eyes falling on Jayne, Mal asked the trader: "You already and packed?"

What about feet?

Jayne grumbled and said as he made his way up the stairs and headed for his bunk*

Gorram cat's gonna pay if it's the last thing it does.

*As Jayne made his way through the galley Guy looked up from cleaning his guns and said to JR*

What's with him?

*JR watched as Jayne went into Pain's bunk instead of his own and replied*

Don't rightly know Guy. Jayne's always pissed 'bout somethin'.

*After a few moments Jayne exited Pain's bunk and walked into the galley holding a cigar in one hand with two more sticking halfway out of his pants. Guy looked at Jayne and said*

Are you taking cigars from Pain's bunk again Jayne?

*Jayne casually lit the one in his mouth and said*

Yeah so?

*Guy replied*

Um I don't think Pain would like that very much.

*Jayne blew out a puff of smoke and said*

Yeah well Pain ain't here now is he?

*Just then Fly emerged from the stairway in the front hall walked up behind Jayne and said*

No but I am and I don't take to kindly to folks touchin' Pain's stuff when he ain't here. That includes you Jayne.

*Before Jayne could reply, Fly spun with amazing reflexes and spin kicked Jayne's feet from out underneath him. This caught Jayne off guard and made him hit the ground with a loud thud, making the lit cigar fly from his mouth and land on his chest. Stepping over Jayne and placing a foot on his neck, Fly beent over, took the cigar off of his chest as well as the ones stuck between his pants and said grinning*

I'll be takin' these if you don't mind.

*Fly stuck the lit cigar in her mouth and the other two in her shirt and walked away. Meanwhile Guy and JR looked at Jayne. JR was the one to say*

Fly kickin' Jayne's pigu was bound to happen sooner or later.

"The Reavers are getting smarter, 13. Generally, the y aren't too much trouble, if I've got a squad handy. But now...they ambushing us, setting traps...they've even got combat formation. Organized, 13.

"There's more of them, too. They're farther out then they ever have been, and there's rumors flying around about an actual attack."

Unfurling a starmap from her pocket, Calisto pointed out several key positions.

"See right here, by the Burnham quadrant? That's where they seem to congregate, clumping up like a ball of snakes. Now, few years back, they pretty much stayed in a clump. But now...they're out and about, most of them staying out way past mealtime."

She pocketed the map, setting her living eye at 13 with a wild, feverish intensity.

"I've had my best navigator's looking over this for months. We're putting an attack on the Inner Border at about three months, give or take, and with the Alliance being packed in the Core, there's barely any heavy defense. I've been doing what I can, protecting smaller settlements, but what's coming I cannot stop."

We'll keep you alive and flyin' as long as you want, darlin!

Serenity glides into Beaumonde's spaceport, Wash letting go of the controls as Port Authority locks on and guides her to a landing pad.

"We're down, people." Wash calls over the shipwide.

Mal takes over, "All right, I want everyone in the cargo bay in ten. We've got a lot to do, and short time to do it in."

In the cargo bay, Mal checks his gun as he waits for the others. Should be a simple job coming up, something they could grab onto and make a little money to keep them flying. Still, no need to get careless, and it was their first time dealing with the Twin Wonders of the Underground.

"I'm not the problem." A whisper at his side, and he looks down to see River, watching his hands as they load his weapon, "You always want to look the other way. Sometimes, the way looks back at you."

"Uh." Mal shakes his head slightly, "Sure thing, little bit."

"River?" Simon appears, as always, wherever River is.

"Keep an eye on her, Doc." Mal suggests as he turns away, but there was something about what she said that made sense. It was startin to scare him that was happening more and more often.

Turning, he addressed the assembled. "You've all got stuff you want to get done. Zoe, Jayne, you're with me. Anyone else wants to come, remember, we're playing this low-key. Fanty and Mingo have a reputation. We do right by them, they'll do right by us."

"Kaylee? You and Wolf get parts, Wash fuel us up. We're gonna need supplies for the run."

"Everyone stay alert, stay in touch, and keep your heads up. Who's comin with me? Who's got..." He stops as Fly comes down the stairs, "Thought you was leavin'?"

She shrugs, a half-smile around Pain's cigar, "Thought you could use a hand."

Lugging the huge, bulging bag over his shoulders Choo gave everyone a wave. "Don't forget to wave me when your in the area. Hopefully i can make a bit of dosh while i'm gone." Choo said patting his huge bag of trinkets and atrifacts (all perfectly legal Mr Federal Officer )

"Goodbye Santa Claus," River called out as Simon dragged her back to the dorms.

Ignoring the crazy child as the others headed down the ramp Mal nodded "Sure thing, and keep out of trouble. I want my overdue passenger fees when i get back. Don;t wanna be paying for a funeral."

With that the small groups disspersed into all different directions.

"Wouldn't worry about that," Choo said to himself, pulling out a portable cortex connection from his pocket "Everything like thats been sorted out."

Clicking the on button he made sure he was out of ear shot and on the secure line. Lighting a cigar he picked up the small machine once it had a connection

"Evening, hope i'm not interupting....no, we all know that feeling...besides everythings going okay...yep she's safe, although theres a couple of things i need you to look into...yes i know, i know, favours and all, its just some old buddies i need you to keep an eye on as well.

sighing off Choo took a large lung full of city air before heading off into the crowd...

"And what? You expect me to do something about it? Ride in and smite the Reavers, or what? If you can't stop them, I definitely can't."

Calisto shook her head. "I know. I'm just updating the news, pal. The Alliance is still hard after you, and that passenger of yours. That ship seems to be just full of fugees, huh?" She spoke in the tones of someone attempting to say what couldn't be said.

"Be on the look-out, 13. I'll be here until tomorrow, so I can give you a ride to that Firefly, if you want. Isn't too out of the way for me."

13 nodded. He'd decline, of course. Still had things to take care of here.

"What's my assigment, Captain? You seem to need all the help you can get crew-wise."

He honestly seemed to consider trusting me with shopping for parts, but decided that I might try to sabotage the ship. I've never been good at earning people's trust.

I sighed, and stayed on the ship at his orders, something I wasn't awfully comfortable with. Still hadn't set my roots, so to speak.

" 'Look after the ship. No offense, but you won't be able to help much for finding parts,' " I mumbled to myself. "Yes, but stretching my legs would be nice."

*JR's thoughts then wandered to Inara and Ertia. He couldn't help wonder what they were up to. Even though he was with Sybil, he still thought about Inara and that kiss they shared. JR let out another sigh and continued to wander through the ship doing his security sweep.*

"Hmmm...lets see," the receptionist sarcastically "should i call Security or the Cleaners."

"Cute. But i'd look under the reservations list. Choo, with two O's." Choo stated.

Grim's death scene was among the best of them, easily surpassing 13 the 'Multi-Death' Cyborg, and trouncing Bruce Willis. Almost made me cry, Grim did. ALMOST!

"Hello."

13 turned wearily to the voice. It seemed people just couldn't walk up to him, they always had to say something behind him. A little girl wearing dark sunglasses stood behind and to his left, her hands hanging at her sides.

"Hello to you too," 13 replied shortly, returning to his often-dark musings.

"You're new people. I could tell," she stated proudly. "You sound different."

"And I don't look different?" 13 said incredulously, wondering how the girl couldn't have notice dhis scars, the traces of a fateful operation lining his entire body.

"Not to me," she said meekly, still unmoving. "You just sound...different."

Oh. Blind.

"I'm Dinah," she said, proferring her hand. It occured to 13 that a blind person extending their hand for a handshake was an act of trust a sighted person could never hope to match. It also occured to him that he no longer wanted to be 13. 13 was a creature of steel and cold, a killer and flaunter of life and fortune. Not a good person to be known as.

"Michael," he said, taking the girl's hand softly, taking care to restrain his strength.

Oh for the love of all that is holy! What in the gorram hell is that stench?

*From out from his hidey place 62 walked out grinning. He waved at the pilot and said*

That'd be me. Don't it smell nice?

*Wash replied in dusgust*

Perhaps to you and most certainly Jayne, but other folks such as myself find it repulsive.

*Shocked that the pilot didn't like the smell of his fart, 62 muttered something and scurried away swearing up a storm. Wash immediately ran out of the bridge and into the galley, still holding his hand over his mouth. To himself Wash said*

Note to self. Invest in a gas mask and quite possibly a biohazard suit, cause I think that stink is eating through my clothes.

Fanty glanced up as the small group entered the Maidenhead. Not so gently, he nudged Mingo with his elbow.

The man in the lead moved with cautious ease, leading his small band with tidy assurance. Behind him, beauty in leather... Tall, elegant, dark, and lean, fleet and feminine. Mingo couldn't restrain a smile as his gaze slide upwards from Zoe and Fly's boots to the tops of their heads.

And then there was the Ape. Brute muscle by the looks of things.

Fanty stayed seated at their table as Mingo approached the group.

"Captain Reynolds? I'm Fanty, there's Mingo. Shall we join him?"

Mal nodded cautiously. He'd known he was dealing with twins, but the similarities between the two were practically non-existant. A quick flash back to the vid-message he'd recieved, and he recognized the tells.

Sliding into the seat across from Fanty, he grinned, "'Less'n you were tellin' me tales when you waved me, you're Mingo. He's Fanty."

The brothers exchanged startled glances, then Fanty chuckled, "Maybe that's so. What do you say we do some business."

"Business is why we're here." Mal answered, gesturing Jayne and Fly to take defensive postures nearbye while Zoe stayed by his side. "I hear you got a job."

"It's a vault." Fanty grinned, poured drinks. "Alliance Mint payroll. We get you the details, get you in. You bring us 20% of the take. Plain and simple."

"Sounds like it." Mal sat for a moment, cool grey gaze scanning the two brothers. "And how do I know the money's there?"

Now Mingo chuckled slightly, shaking his head, "Because we're Fanty and Mingo. And we say so."

"Right. Give us the details." Mal smiled.

"Not so fast. Either you're in, friend, or you're not."

"We're in." Zoe spoke coolly, her tone saying clearly, no more nonsense.

"And who might you be, precious?" Fanty leaned flirtatiously across the counter, but Zoe leaned back from him.

"She'd be the one who's married to my pilot, friend." Mal suggested quietly, then he gave a tight-lipped smile. "But like she said. We're in. What's the plan?"

Fanty slipped a core-pad across the table. "Vault specs, delivery times, maps...it's all there. Should be a simple enough job for a man of your... reputation."

Mal tilted his head, "Just what is my reputation?"

"A Firefly destroyed a SkyPlex." Fanty replied queitly, "Or so rumor says."

Mal scooped up the cor-pad, subtly gesturing Fly to prepare to leave, "You boys shouldn't believe everything you hear."

And mess up our fancy duds and our pretty faces, I think not.

*Fanty continued*

We're more of the employer type. We sniff around and find the best crew suited for the job at hand.

*Mingo chimed in*

Then we invite them into our place of business and give them a job offer they can't refuse.

The ship made its usual noises as it blasted into the black. They were headed for a job one that looked promising and John just hoped would go okay. That however wasn't the pressing thing on his mind. When coming through atmo the ship had nearly lost it. He was frantically trying to recall he long forgotten mechanic skills. It was bad the secondary power core had a leak. The primary was making this wierd sound that sounded an awful lot like Jayne's snore andthe whole room was filled with the stench of some liquid leaking from the... thingy in the corner (I said long forgotten) He was on his back under the power cores with a screwdriver a wrench and some strange pus that had just started dripping onto his face. It was going to be a long night,

*wolf and kaylee were walking back from the scrapyard, wolf had a large bag of heavy mechanical parts, he started to say something to break the uncomfortable silence.*

wolf" I..."

kaylee" what?"

wolf" er...nevermind."

*they continued to walk on in silence, kaylee sighed.*

kaylee" why'dya do it?"

wolf" what?"

kaylee" you know what!"

wolf" i had no choice."

kaylee" you always have a choice, this ain't no slave camp! you coulda told us, we coulda helped!"

wolf" yeah the captains really going to help ME isnt he!"

kaylee" well he woulda, not now that ya cut a big X on his cheast."

wolf" you dont understand..."

kaylee" thats because you didn't let me wolf! you kept everybody out! why is it that everybody on this ship is so closed!"

wolf" because somtimes its easer to be closed than here yourself speak the problem aloud."

*kaylee saw the look on his face*

kaylee" see! your still not telling me the whole story!"

wolf" you wanna know the truth? I LOVE YOU! i wanted to protect you and the rest of the crew. the only reason i let niska take command of me was because if i didn't take the job, one the others would, they would have just slaughtered everyone there. i could bare to think of your death, you, wash, zoe, i didn't want to have that on my concionce."

*kaylee took all this in. they had stopped walking and kaylee sat down and didn't say anything for a few moments.*

wolf" kaylee?"

kaylee" i didn't know."

*kaylee stood up, they started walking again, wolf was shocked when he felt kaylees small soft hand slip into his. kaylee smiled as they aproched serenity*

I really don't know Choo. What did you have in mind?

Wash sat in his chair as he punched in the coordinates to Lilac. Mal turned from his position behind Wash and looked to Fly.

"You sure about this Fly? Cause you don't have to leave if you don't want to." replied Mal.

"Yeah I'm sure Cap'n. Since Pain and Ertia are gone, I've been feelin' a little out of place here. I really think workin' for Reggie will sort me out." replied Fly, looking into the Captain's eyes.

She could see the hurt in his eyes and said reassuringly "Don't worry sir I'll promise not to get into any serious trouble and who knows I might return one day."

"It ain't that I worried about Fly. It's the fact that this crew, my family's gettin' a lil' small for my taste." responded Mal.

Mal turned to Wash and said "Wash how long til we're in orbit 'round Muir?"

"About two days give or take, then we're back on course for Lilac." replied the pilot.

Mal turned back to Fly "Now I might not be able to change your mind Fly but I do want you to promise me that you'll take care of yourself. Dong ma?"

"I will sir." replied Fly, giving the Captain a warm smile before turning about face and walking out of the bridge. Mal followed a few moments later and walked into the galley.

"Family's gettin' awfully small." Mal repeated in his mind as he headed for the coffee maker.

Just another group of people/orginisation who may or my not be a good thing for you BDH's...If you don't like it, i'll veto it immediatly

The Hotel's Casino was packed, all over the place deals were done and broken as large amounts of money changed hands. Being upper class and all the men wore tuxedo's while the women wore quite revealing dresses.

Watching from the balcony above Choo felt a bit uncomfortable in his tux, after so many months living kind of "rough", and all the security devices and loaded weapons felt him quite uneasy.

"I take it business is doing well?" came a smooth, yet firm woice "Your last transmissions revealed little...."

The Madam was the best of the best. With the looks a supermodel or Companion would kill for, her body said 'yes', while her cold, steel like eyes said 'hell no or i'll chop you in half'. Dressed in a dress that seemed like a second skin, she was most certainly dressed to kill.

"There were ... complications. Kidnappings, mind whips, a lot of coming and going's -"

"The killing of Mr. Niska." She said bluntly, throwing Choo off a bit "The Synidicate is worried you might need to be reminded who you work for."

"AH!" Choo exclaimed, drawing the attention away from his "suicide", "I only part work for them, i've still got my own business needs to worry about!"

"part of full," the madam corrected agressively "you fall of the radar and i'll personally deal with you. And it won't be pleasent. Now little man, what do you have to show for yourself?"

Sighing, Choo reached into his jacket, and pulled out a small data stick "all you'll need to know about the Crew and Passengers of Serenity, including risk assesments and the hacked doctors medical reports on them."

"My my, you have been a busy little man," the Madam replied, cold, killer edge wahing away, "The Syndicate will be most pleased,"

"Yeah...whatever," Choo said, heading down onto the Casino floor. He seriously needed a good, overpriced drink.

"You're right," John replied to the captain as he entered the galley covered from head to toe in a strange black substance. "And your boat is falling apart. Please say there's coffee"

"Is she really that bad"

"Depends what's your definition of bad"

"Will she survive till we have money"

"I hope. So this a simple job we're talkin'"

"Simpler than most"

"Whenever you say that we almost get killed and then get about half the money we were expectin'"

"Well I'm takin back up"

"He'll be pissed."

"I know...it'll be great"

Why yes John they certainly do. *shoves a plot far into a hidey hole* Hey look Kaylee's eating strawberries!

In JR's Bunk

"Are ya sure ya want to do this Sybil dear?" asked JR as he sat on his bed next to Sybil.

Sybil looked at JR and nodded. She had received an encrypted wave from her father a few hours ago. In it her father stated that there was a family emergency and that he needed her back at the Harrow Estate ASAP. JR took a deep breath and put an arm around Sybil.

"All right then Sybil my darlin'. We'll tell the Captain that we need to leave, but with the others gone or goin', I reckon he won't be too happy." sighed JR.

JR promptly got up and headed out of his bunk, his sights set on finding the Captain and telling him the news that JR knew he didn't want to hear.

Quick leavin the planet last chance to jump ship!

"Captain Kaylee's back" John called entering the galley later.

"Good we can finally get this boat off before anyone else decides to leave," The captain replied, "Unless Jayne..."

Kaylee climbed into the room "Captain I think the parts I bought will last us through these next couple of flights but..."

"No buts We'll be getting a nice payoff from this and we'll be able to buy anything you might need"

"Are you sayin we might actually get paid!" John said

"Let's get flyin"

"Actually sir me and Sybil will be leavin'." replied JR who entered the galley.

"You're doin' what now?" Mal replied.

Kaylee turned to JR and said with sad look in her eyes "You two ain't leavin' for reals too are you?"

JR let out an audible sigh and said "'Fraid so Kaylee, but it's just temporary. Sybil has a family emergency that needs her physical presence, hence the reason we're leavin'."

"Well if you're leavin' now JR, best get to it. We'll be leavin' this rock in six so if you want to leave just like the others, now's your chance." responded Mal, clearly not liking the idea of JR or Sybil leaving one bit.

Mal looked at JR who was still standing in the galley trying to come up with a response.

"Five minutes JR."

JR could hear the traces of anger in Mal's voice, knew it wouldn't be logical to reason with him and walked over to the com.

"Sybil dear we need to go now." replied JR into the com.

"Ok dear." came Sybil's reply.

A short moment later Sybil stepped into the galley with two suitcases in her hands. She looked at the people in the galley, most noticably the Captain, and turned to JR.

"Is there a problem?" asked Sybil a little on the worried side.

"No there's no problem Miss Harrow. Just waiting for the last two of my crew to leave." chimed Mal.

"Mr. Reynolds I do declare. What is with this hostility?" replied Sybil, very shocked at Mal's tone.

"Oh I'm not bein' hostile Miss Harrow, I'm just bein' a mite angry is all. So are we goin' to chat or are you two goin' to leave?" replied Mal.

"We're leavin' sir." growled JR, before taking Sybil's arm in his hand and escorting her to the cargo bay.

I believe Fly will be getting off at Muir, which is along the way to Lilac. Those still onboard include Guy, Shipscat, Experiment62, Wolf, Nico, and Oath if memory serves me right.

John walked into the Bridge and looked at the man sitting atthe controls a look of extreme concentration as he pulled the ship into the black. Wash was the only one he hadn't had an actual conversation with and most of their dealings were in planning heistand small repairs Kaylee had him do in the bridge.

He was both simple and complex. John could feel where he came from. A lot of love, for his wife, for flying. A slight quirkiness and a strength somewhat buried but undoubtably present. He among the others felt pure. John added a new goal to his list understand this person before it was too late.

I sat on an errant crate, cleaning my left mousegun with, I'm not surprised to say, more than a large amount of unwarranted nervousness. I had a bad feeling about this 'job' the crew had taken on.

At a footstep clanging against a patch of grate, I shook my right gun out of my sleeve into my hand, taking aim at the noise.

Simon, looking properly and neatly shocked.

I replaced the gun, sighing at the doctor.

"You shouldn't sneak, Dr. Tam. Somebody jumpier than me might've pulled the trigger."

"I wasn't sneaking; in fact, I was right in front of you."

I dismissed this with a wave of my MG, talking as I reassembled it.

"So, what brings you to the local mysterious passenger?"

He took a seat on a crate next to mine, folding his arms. "I wanted to ask you this for some time, Szatsu."

"Call me Oath," I said warily, eyeing him carefully. "Ask me what?"

His eyes leveled with mine, a nostalgic color. "I want to know why you're so interested in my sister."

I laughed lightly. The boy was attentive; too attentive.

"Is it not a mad universe we live in, that we should protect those dear to us?" I said with a grandiose wave of the hand and a smile.

"It is, but nobody on this ship should be dear to you." He considered, adding, "Well, not just yet. So, why do you hang around her?"

"So you fly the ship" It was one of the first things he had said to Wash directly. It was also one of the stupidest things he'd said to anyone on the boat. Or too anyone at all. Except for that time with the Companion but heavy ammounts of liquor were involved.

"Yeah" He said once again pointing out John's stupidity.

"And your married to an extremely attractive warrior Woman" two for two John way to go. Only three more and you break the record

Wash gave him an angry glare. Well as angry as the silly dinosaur loving man could give.

"And you like dolls, I mean action figures" Wash remained silent.

"So how'd you get her"

"What?" Wash said confused.

"You know Zoe, with the butchness and you with the nerdiness."

Wash gave him a glare angrier than before. Of course John was too involved in this question and the ferocious feeling that was strangely entering his mind.

"Were there drugs or alcho..."

"GET OUT OF HERE"

John feeling strangely releived hurried out. What was it about certain people like Wash that he couldn't say anything resonably intelligent and left the room with them angry and him looking rather like a space monkey who had crawled into human skin and was walking around saying stupid stuff. Maybe it was the unreadable-ness of people like him. Now he'll hate me more.

Don't be sorry for being busy. We all have our obligations. Oh, and John: That post was hilarious. An angry Wash is a funny Wash.

Continued from last post...

"I don't think that a girl like River should be in a dangerous environment like this mess of duct tape and bailing twine without proper attendance," I said venomously, noting Simon's reddening face.

"Are you implying I don't look after my sister?" he said in a low voice, brimming with anger.

"As a matter of fact, I am."

"You have no idea what I've done for her!" he sputtered furiously.

"I think I do, Doctor. Things like letting her almost fall into the hands of that cyborg? Yes, I heard about that! Things like-"

"Don't be so loud," a voice, glass-like in its fragility, called from the catwalk. "You'll let him know. The Hunter."

Simon rushed to her, shooting one dirty look at me as he did so. I began to clean my already-impeccable guns again, thinking how she needed somebody who could really protect her, not a soft medic who couldn't shoot.

I thought it was funny as well.

Fly was in the galley sharpening her knife at the table when Shipscat jumped up on the table. Fly put her knife down just as the tabby plopped down on the table right over her knive and its sharpening stone.

"You're just askin' for someone to pet ya aren't ya kitty?" sighed Fly as she stroked the cat's soft fur.

Shipscat purred loudly and Fly found herself smiling as she continued to stroke the cat's fur.

"I'm going to miss ya kitty. I really am." said Fly.

Jayne walked through the galley and noticed Fly. She gave him a look which made him cringe a little.

"Ya can relax Fly. I ain't goin' nowhere near Pain's bunk. I learned my lesson last time, I don't want a refresher course." said Jayne.

"That better be true Jayne, cuz if it ain't, I'll do somethin' worse than kick your pigu." replied Fly who was still looking at Jayne.

Jayne put his hands in the air and said "I'm jus' goin' to my room Fly honest."

Fly continued to look at Jayne until he disappeared into his bunk. Satisfied that he wasn't going to do anything stupid, Fly returned her attention back to Shipscat.

Where is everyone? I wondered, coming into the galley. Things are getting somewhat quiet.

Ah. The gun-woman, accompanied by the local tabby, a knife and stone on the table. I took a seat, folding my hands on the table awkwardly.

"So," I said. "I heard you're leaving."

"Yep," she replied shortly, petting the cat.

I nodded. "Well. That's...too bad...?"

She shrugged, still concentrated on the cat. I sighed, then asked cautiously, "What do you suppose Samantha's up to right now?"

Fly shrugged again.

Dazzling conversationalist, I thought dryly.

That's what I'd like to know too John.

Days passed as Serenity flew through the Black on her way to Muir before heading to the little moon of Lilac. Everyone was going about their business. Jayne was telling Guy a dirty joke in the galley, Shipscat was scratching up some of Simon's clothes, and Simon was having no luck talking to Kaylee at all. All in all it was as if nothing was different unless you counted the number of crew that were no longer on the ship.

The screen in front of Wash blinked, causing the pilot to sit up in his chair. Flicking the comm on and selecting the channel fro Fly's room, Wash replied "Fly we'll be in orbit around Muir in a few hours."

"Thank you Wash. I've got all my stuff and I'll be in the cargo bay if anyone needs me." Fly's voice came from the other end.

"I'll tell the others Fly." came Wash's reply. Switching on the shipwide channel Wash's voice boomed "All crew please meet in the cargo bay to give Fly a hug and a cheerful goodbye."
