Jayne Cobb – An Interlude

Just at that moment, Jayne and Vera were sitting in Serenity, which had been impounded but not crushed into a million pieces. Jayne was staring over boxes, and Vera was firing bullets at people.

These people were alliance officers who had been asked to clean out the recently acquired ship. They had expected to find illegal things, but they had not expected Jayne Cobb. Jayne Cobb, having been very, very drunk in a hiding spot for the past few weeks, had not expected them either.

At first he had panicked, then he had realized he was armed, and that he had decided to hide with a lot of ammo when he had tried hiding, so he was ready to fire at anybody who might want to break into Serenity to find him.

Technically he should have expected this, since he had been the one to betray everybody. The Alliance had paid him a lot of money to give them the coordinates to where they were in space. Unfortunately, in his hungover state, Jayne didn't really care much at all about whose side he was on.

According to all the dead Alliance ship investigators, he was probably still on Mal's side.

"Gorram- *bam* People- *bam* Making- *bam* Noise- *bam* On- *bam* Ship- *bam* Sleeping- *bam* Here- *bam* Gorram-" He was out of bullets again, so he swapped.

If he was being completely honest with himself, Jayne knew that he was enjoying this killing a lot more than he ought to have been.

Back on the Ranch, the team had finally dragged Mal back to his feet, and were busy walking down the street looking for a computer to hack. They were going to use it to figure out where Jayne was.
