Chapter 3
Mal came onto the bridge as Wash was pushing all kinds of buttons and checking
screens. "You called for me. What's the problem?" Mal asked. "The problem is
we're being followed." Mal came forward and looked down at the screens. "Gorram"
He said. "Do you have a specific destination in mind?" Wash asked. "Yes I do but
let's lose are friends first." He turned and started leaving the bridge. "I'll
see what I can do." Wash called after him.
"Well that certainly was interesting." Simon said as he stitched up Inara's arm.
She grimmaced a little as he pulled the thread through. "Why is it that everyone's
answer to everything out here is violence?" He asked. He finished the last stitch
and Inara got up out of the chair. She started to leave and then stopped at the door.
"It's not that violence is everyone's answer out here. It's just the only answer that
people seem to understand." And then she left him alone to think about it.
Kaylee was sitting on her bed listening to the radio when her bedroom door opened and
someone's boots appeared on the ladder. She felt a flutter of excitement as she thought
that maybe it was Simon coming to see her. Instead it was the captain.
"What do you need Mal." She asked. "Were going into evasive maneuvers, Wash needs you in
the engine room." She shut off the radio and followed Mal up the ladder.
She walked into the engine room and went over to the radio. "Alright Wash what are we
doing.". His voice came back a little staticky. "I need you to give us more speed." She
went to the engine and started tinkering with it. Soon Wash was able to pull away from their
pursuers. As they got into the clear Mal came back to the bridge. "About that destination. Were
going to the place I bought Serenity, and he better have some answers."
