"Aren't you gonna let me in?" Jayne pleaded as the captain walked up
and away, leaving him in the hanger cut off from the crew.
I will, the captain thought to himself. He was amazed at how harsh he had just treated Jayne, but it had to be done. He had nearly killed Jayne. Probably should've, he knew he couldn't live with it though. He needed Jayne any way. Yes he was a mercinary but a damn good soldier also. He'd just leave him in there and give him time to think about what he did. Hopefully it would change him. Hopefully.
"Captain?" Jayne said still pleading on the brink of whimpering, "Captain!?! Well, he ain't comin back."
Jayne sat back figuring it'd be a long wait to get out of here. He tried to rest but couldn't. Something deep inside him kept nagging him. He couldn't shake it off. "What the hell is wrong with me?" He tried to pass the time, tried not to think about the thing that turned his stomach. He knew what was wrong with him he just didn't want to face it. *********************************
"We have at least 100 thousand credits here," Zoe said. Zoe and Wash looked at the loot they stole from the hospital.
"It's amazing you and Mal got away with all this. Do you know what this means Zoe? We're rich!" Wash proclaimed.
"Don't go cheering to early," Mal explained as he walked in. "Everyone gets a share but most will go to ship repairs and to buy more meds for Book and the Doc. Book is still recovering and Doc says he needs some medicene just incase we have any 'accidents' around here. Also Doc thinks he figured out something to help River. Says that will cost a small fortune. The both of you combined will get at least 5,000. It's a lot but you ain't rich by any means."
"Oh. Well, then it's still a boatload of money compared to normal payouts," Wash said.
"Yup, it is" Zoe stated. Her husband walked out of the room sulkingly and she followed.
There you go again smart one. Mal said to himself. What has gotten into you. Stop being so harsh. Maybe Book could help with my problem. Hopefully he's healthy enough so I can see him. *********************************
Kay-Lee sat with her friend Inara. Kay-Lee was switching some plugs as Inara watched on. Kay-Lee was the first to say something. "So how was your check-up?"
"As I told the captain it was a bunch of needles, tests, and cold bare medical tables." Inara explained.
"I'm not the captain though," Kay-Lee was trying to look around Inara's mental shield and see what really happened, "I'm your friend, you could tell me anything."
"I know," Inara was fumbling around with thoughts in her head about how to explain what happened down there, "I failed the test."
"What? You failed, what happens now?"
"I have to either forfiet my companion license or retake the test. I will probably retake the test but it doesn't look good. I could have Doc do it but I really don't want him to see what he needs to see when he does the testing procedure. I guess I have to though, theres no other choice."
"You could stop being a companion, I mean I don't see what it's worth hanging on to"
"I have my reasons. I'm gonna go see Doc, maybe he'll do the test for me."
"I'll be here if you need me," Kay-Lee said. POOF! A black cloud of smoke engulfed her face. " I guess that doesn't belong there." *********************************
Hopefully you like what you read. Please review and I will come back with more chapters later. Belive it gets better.
