Well than, seems we've got ourselves some company."
Mal fell to the floor shortly after his little comment, Zoë simply rolled her eyes. He had been cussing and whining the whole way back to Serenity, his face had grown gradually more and more pale and Zoë had suggested nicely that he may want to take it easy and lie back, and for the better part of fifteen minutes he had. Until he saw a ship parked along side his own.
"What the gorram hell? Who in the ruttin verse is that?" he screamed, launching himself up from his sitting position.
River frowned in the sit behind him. "Sit down before you give yourself an aneurism."
Jayne snorted beside her, still on a high from the battle and still excited about this new adrenalin coursing through is body, though it did strike him quite odd that it only occurred when he was in close proximity of a certain gal.
Mal in the meantime swung around furiously. "Listen here lil witch, don't you go tellin' me what to do! This is my boat…!"
"Mule." Zoë quickly corrected.
"This is my MULE! And what I say goes, got it!"
River pursed her lips together. "Well captain, if my knowledge of the anatomy is correct… which I do believe it is. Then in the last fifteen minutes and twenty three seconds you have lost enough blood flow to knock a normal man of your size and weight out, so I suggest quite humbly sir, that you sit your pi gu down!"
Mal didn't follow her advice, hence his collapse on Serenity's ramp and Zoë's eye roll.
Jayne, Zoë and River (whom too was feeling a lil light headed) stood their grounded, pretending to take no notice of their fallen capt'n and aimed their guns steadily at the two men before them.
"On behalf of the capt'n." said Zoë placing a boot on the Mal's unconscious back. "Who the ruttin hell are you?"
"Well I'm Dan and this is Tommy..."
"What's your job dumb ass?" growled Jayne, and both men knew almost instantly that he was no doctor.
Both men raised their guns and in a comic display both Jayne and River raised theirs as well and shot the two men in the shoulders in what seemed like a millisecond.
Tommy and Dan fell to the ground instantly clutching their shoulders in pain. Zoë in the meantime pulled out her knife and cut her families bonds.
"Who do you work for?" growled Jayne, peering down at the two men with a fierce gaze.
They didn't answer and Jayne picked up Dan's discarded radio. It was your standard red market issue. (Black market back in the times of earth that was) Jayne grinned glancing them both over, recognising the tricks of his trade. "Merc's huh? Alliance gonna give ya a shiny reward for us all?" He kicked Tommy in the side, and he howled loudly in pain. "Mustn't have been in the trade long. Any skilled merc knows never to drop his guard. Armatures! Now get of our gorram boat before I decided to put a bullet in ya!!"
They scrambled off the ground, both Jayne and Rivers guns trailing after them. It was then that Jayne glanced at River, and what he saw took him as strangely odd. Why in the 'verse was their two of her? He blinked twice, wondering why the room seemed to be roatatin' around him. Than he had the odd sensation like he was falling, like a leaf on the wind, a gradual incline until he landed gracefully on the ground. It may have felt that way to him though to others Jayne didn't fall so gracefully, he landed with a hard thump than he was out cold.
River's eyes turned wide. "Jayne?" she asked, nudging him with her foot slightly, knowing how he doesn't like to be touched. He didn't move and she began to panic. She wasn't sure if it was the loss of blood or this knew confusing feeling but she got a pain in her gut at seeing him lying there, and when he didn't wake a cold shiver ran up her spine telling her to start crying. She knelt down beside him, grabbing a hold of his arm. "Jayne!" She was shaking him now, tears beginning to fall over her eye lids. Nothing seemed to be waking him. "Jayne!!"
Zoë who'd just finished taking the Captain in to be patched up, heard the desperate cry and ran from the room, Kaylee and Inara quickly on her heals. "River darling are you al-…" Inara stopped herself in mid sentence, looking at the sight before her. The warrior women knelt beside the meanest, crudest and deadliest man she'd ever known, and she was crying.
"Aiya! Huaile." River cried, her fingers were tightly threaded through his, feeling as though if she let go, she'd lose him forever. Strange this was, she didn't know why it bothered her, but the thought of him never being around pained her so much that she thought her chest would burst.
"Simon!" Kaylee screamed, down right scared at the sight of her Da ge motionless on the floor."We got an emergency!"
Simon poked his head out and saw Jayne flat on the ground next to a bleeding River. He wiped his bloodied hands on his surgeon's apron and sprinted out of the room, motioning for Zoë to help him lift him.
They carried him to the infirmary the best they could and put him down on the back up bed beside Mal. "The bullets out of his leg, you know how to patch and stich." He said emotionlessly, his doctor's face securely in place as he left Zoë to Mal and concentrated on the bigger question at hand. Why the toughest guy Simon had ever known, wasn't waking up?
