A/N: Alright guys, time to make the Browncoat fandom cry tears of blood again because I'm back! And for all you folks who are wondering about Springtrap and Jackie, Possession and The Tragic Case, stop. I've been a bit busy, so you're probably wondering, Wolf you gorgeous great dane, if you have been busy why are you posting this? My answer? We were told to do a project on something we are passionate about. So I and my dear friend JacquiChu made this. She drew the pictures and I wrote it, so credit for the cover goes to her! Yeah, sorry. I can't write Firefly good. I will be uploading chapters daily (as the story's finished, there's no pressure) so sit back and enjoy! It's gonna be a long 15 days...
Chapter 1: Easy Cash
Jayne Cobb sat on the train quietly. He honestly didn't want to do the job they'd been offered, but money was tight and he needed an excuse to not shoot Mal and take over. To be honest, it wasn't so much the job he didn't like but the build-up to it. Sitting quietly on a train until it came time to claim the goods wasn't exactly the best way to spend his time. He'd rather be in his bunk polishing up Vera. But the job had good pay and 10% would get him a small fortune.
Mal looked over at Zoe. "Time check." He said.
Zoe checked her watch. "We hit the main station in 10 minutes."
"Right. Let's go." The three quickly left their seats and proceeded to the carriage that was supposed to have the goods. A companion was traveling private in there and in the carriage behind were a few feds. After taking out said – feds Zoe spoke.
"I'll go in, sir." Zoe said. "I'll be able to get the stuff quickly."
"No, Zoe. I need you to stand guard with me, case the feds come to. Jayne will go in."
Jayne looked at Mal in surprise. "Don't you usually go in, rob them, cause I normally kill folk?"
"Well this time, Jayne, I'm trusting you. Don't kill her, and you get an extra 3 percent." Mal said. Zoe sighed and joined Mal at the door.
Jayne went inside the carriage quietly. Zoe looked over at Mal. "Sir, you sure this is a good idea?"
Mal looked back. "No."
Zoe groaned. "Yeah, this is going to go brilliantly…"
…
For once, Jayne decided to be quiet. The 3 percent might not be that much of an upgrade if you thought about it, but it was still an upgrade. And enough of an upgrade to think it was worth it.
The companion sat, reading a book with the goods next to her. Jayne grinned quietly and approached her. As he forked through the bag, he saw something that shocked him. Twin long, almost - glowing swords lay in the box with opals in their hilts. Swords his sister owned.
Suddenly he gained a punch to the side of the head. He stood up and glared at the companion who glared back. He grabbed his gun quick as lightning and she grabbed the swords just as fast. The two stared across the carriage, daring the other to make the first move.
