Mall POV

"Zoe come on it will work with the three of us there" I say, walking down the steps to the dining area, I really have a craving for some soup right about now,

"Captain I don't feel that this is the best idea" she says following me and taking a seat at the table,

"What's not a good idea?" comes Jane, I look to him in response but resume my meal making,

"Captain wants us to go to Whitefall to do a deal there, I don't think the people there are trustworthy" she says,

"Well if they've got the money I don't see what the problem is" he says, I roll my eyes at this, it's the only thing he cares about I swear,

"Mal, you might want to get up here, you've got a call" comes Wash's voice on the comms, I sigh in frustration, I had only just finished my soup!

Quickly I put it in heated storage for later, I walk in the direction of the bridge, hearing Zoey following behind me,

"Who's calling?" I ask standing behind the pilot's chair,

"Some girl, says she needs to speak to you specifically" he says, I nod to the video feed to indicate to him to put her through, I wonder who might be calling me in perticular.

But as soon as I see the face in my screen I freeze in shock, no way in hell that's –

"Mal? Mal is that you?"

I blink a few times to try and get a grip, leaning forward for her to see me more and for me to look at her more,

"S-Sora?" I ask, looking for any hint that this is a trick, but looking at her, her hair a tangle of mess, cuts that I don't like the look of on both her cheeks and blood coming from them as well,

"Mal, I g-got away, but I need your help. Please is there any way that you could come get me?" she asks, tears that I'm now noticing were previously dried to her cheeks are leaving her eyes.

I exhale from this shaking my head slightly,

"Sora, you stupid girl. Of course I'm coming to get you, send us your co-ordinates and we'll come and get you" I say, she sighs at this with what looks like relief and nods in thanks,

"See you in a world" I say, just before the screen turns black, our other screen beside the one her face was currently in now with co-ordinates being sent over,

"Get us there as soon as possible" I say standing up straight now. Knowing I have eyes on me but not finding it in me to care just yet, I've just seen Sora, whom I had spent years looking for, for over five years, I would know her face anywhere,

"Captain? Want to explain to us what is going on?" Zoey asks, I look to her from this, crossing my arms and calming my posture slightly, knowing that I would of course need to tell them,

"Sora, is my sister. About four years before I joined the Alliance, I was still at my families farm, she was taken in the dead of night, I don't know who by or why, no-one did. So of course, I went looking for her, but until five minutes ago I haven't seen a hide nor hair of her, despite all the searching, keeping ears out – everything I could think of to try and find her" I say, looking up to Zoey, then to Wash and Jane whom I see has also joined us along with Kaylee,

"I didn't even know you had a sister" Kaylee says, I nod at this,

"That's because I never said to any of you, but then you never asked either" I say casually, I know I don't talk about my past, not many of us do, but that's the way it goes.

"From these co-ordinates, I'd say we should be there in a day - maybe less, I've sent her a message with our expected landing time and with landing location too so she knows where to meet us" Wash says, I nod in thanks.

"She said she got away, so whoever took her, she escaped, did you see those cuts, could have only been recent that she got away" Zoey says, I nod in agreement to that,

"Which means we may not have a lot of time before they try getting her again. So, we get there as fast as possible, see if we can get the fuel cell to give us a boost Kaylee" I say, she nods at this then leaves the room,

"We're still going to Whitefall right?" Jane asks, I narrow my eyes at him for that, rolling my nose at him in annoyance,

"Yes Jane, we are still going to Whitefall, once we collected my long lost little sister, we will be on our way to the job" I say, now leaving to go back to the dining room to finally have my soup.

Never a boring day.

(Authors Note)

Hi everyone I know you haven't heard from me in a long while, has been a ridiculously busy year, got married, been away a couple of times and expecting my first baby in a few week's time.

So this is my newest story, its been lying dormant in a folder for a few years and after watching the series I decided it's time to finally start it.

I can't promise I will be getting on with the other stories, I will try, but have admittedly lost a bit of inspiration for some of them but hoping to get on with them at some point.

Look forward to hearing your thoughts on this chapter!
