Chapter 2: Enter the Enforcer
Oz placed his duffel bad and guitar case against the wall of the ship near the entrance. He took a deep breath. Serenity smelled like a home not like a sterile hospital like one of the Alliance ships.
Suddenly a large man came down the steps mumbling, "—just stay on the ship Jayne, well maybe I wanted to leave the gorram ship." Jayne stopped talking when he noticed Oz. "Oh man, we taking on passengers?" Jayne groaned. He stepped real close to Oz, "Now listen there's some questions you'll need to be answering before I'll let you stay on board. First, you Alliance?"
"No." Oz shrugged.
"You got a price on your head?"
"Nope."
"You running from people?"
"Nah."
"You got a gun on you?"
"Uh uh."
"Why is your hair green?"
"Jayne," Kaylee said running inside, "What are you doing with our guest?"
"I was just making sure he was on the up and up." Jayne glared at Oz.
"I'm sorry Oz we usually keep Jayne on leash." Kaylee smiled apologetically at Oz.
"S'alright. We were just talking." Oz said before walking away a bit.
"I thought you were fixing after the doc?" Jayne asked.
"What I ain't fixing after nobody. I'm just being friendly." Kaylee said blushing slightly.
"We better be careful about this one." Jayne said glancing back at Oz who was checking his bags.
"What? Why?" Kaylee looked at Oz as well.
"Ain't natural for a man's hair to be that color." Jayne said before walking away.
Oz ran a hand through his green hair, 'Note to self, change hair color. Maybe blue would be better.'
