Spoilers: Of course
Summary: Jayne's sister has been given depth! Yay!
A/N: Hello to all my loyal reviewers. She can't take the job because whatever they're picking up will kill her. Who was that person talking from last time? Will that person play an important part or not? What did Book see? What does River know? It should come out sometime soon, don't count on it though. Read, review and enjoy.

" This can and will. Let it go."
~~~~~
" Tara?"
" Yeah Mal?" She asked, fearing what he was going to say.
" If you ain't comin' with us, then you can watch the ship. Okay?"
" Of course. I'm sorry." She said to his back. Mal paused for half a step then continued on.
" I know." He muttered.
~~~~~
" Two know."
" Patience. The time will come."
" As you wish master."
~~~~~
" How long?"
" Since... I don't know... Jayne left, I guess. It's kinda always been there. Clawing at the back of my mind."
" What is it?" The two didn't notice River eavesdropping from the catwalk.
" A genetic disease. My mom's great grandfather had it. It changes something in the blood."
" Is it treatable?" Book was concerned.
" I don't know." Tara whispered, a far away look in her eyes.
~~~~~
" And we're out." Mal's voice whispered over the com system linking the six criminals together.
" So are we cap'n." Kaylee's voice answered back. It took Zoë a few seconds but she answered as well.
" Everything's safe."
" Let's move." He ordered, releasing everyone to run for the rendevous point.
~~~~~
" That everyone? Everything?"
" Yep." Jayne looked greedily at the boxes.
" Wash, get us outta here." Mal said, a smile plastered over his face.
" Let's say we find out what we're cartin'." The bigger man suggested.
" Not gonna happen." Kaylee and Zoë said when Jayne started looking for a crowbar.
" Why not?" He whined.
" Do you wanna lose the job?"
" No." Jayne pouted the whole way back to the ship.
~~~~~
" So Tara, how ya doin'?" Mal asked when the six stepped onto Serenity's cargo bay. " Start unpacking." He ordered, Wash had already left to fly the ship.
" I'll be better once I get away from that." She said, covering her nose and mouth with a wet T-shirt.
" What's so dangerous about this?" Mal asked, laughingly sitting on top of one of the crates Jayne was trying to move.
" Nothing dangerous to a human." Tara muttered before taking her leave.
" What she say?" Mal asked, having completely missed Tara's last statement.
" Nothin' important, now git!" Jayne took a swipe at the form making the crate heavier than it already was.
~~~~~
" Soon. Soon, you will be mine." The speaker stood in front of a window watching the stars pass him by. " Soon, my plan will be complete." The platinum blonde whispered to the cold glass, waiting for the sniveling coward to come back and ask him to make a move against the girl. Against Tara. " Soon."
