As river traveled the desert for day's and
Night's, she finally got to town.
She saw it was big and there was a fight
Everywere, then she came to the sheriffs office,
"Excess me sir is the sheriff in" she asked
"No Mrs, he's at the court house" The man at the desk
Answered. "Where is the court house" river asked,
" over there across from the bar" he said again,
She went over to the court house,
Saw the sheriff mal in a chair, she went
Up to him "excess me are you sheriff mal,
Mal looked up and saw river and said
"Who are you?" , "I'm river I lived on
A ranch not to far from here" she answered.
"Never heard of you or your ranch, now turn around
And leave me alone" said mal.
"But I need your help" she said
"For what lady" he said
" to kill three bandits" she said again,
"Listen lady I'm a sheriff not a assassin" mal said
"Very well I'll look for them myself" she said walking away.
"Wait" said mal,
"What is it" river said,
"Who you going after" mal asked
"Atherton" river replied,
Then mal threw over the table
And grabbed her by the throat pinning
Her against the wall,
"Where's Atherton!" He yelled
"He's the man who killed man parents,
How do you know him?" She asked,
" He killed my friend" he replied,
"The town deputy?" He asked again,
"Yes, sorry I grabbed your throat" mal said,
It's alright you didn't hurt me.
"I will help you Mrs?" Mal asked
"River" she replied,
"River? As in Simon and river?" He asked
"Yes, he was my brother want do you know of him" she asked,
"He was my partner, until he suddenly disappeared from town" he answered.
"We'll ride at morning" mal said.
In the morning they rode out into the desert,
With someone watching them ride.
As a arrow went fire at river,
Atherton pushed Irana to the ground
And knocking the bow and arrow out of
Her hand, " what are you doing you idiot!,
I want the woman alive not dead" shouted Atherton,
"Really what the hell for" Inara yelled back,
"I want to have her as my bride" said Atherton.
"But she's a treat" Inara said
"What do you mean" he asked,
"Back when I was with mal, he had forgotten
About river still has, river is the only one that can
Help mal remember about his past otherwise we can
Never defeat them" explained river,
With a point of a gun Atherton
Said "then you better prey that we find them before
Mal remembers something",
Then they went on there way.
As mal and river were traveling,
River asked " you look familiar, did we ever meet"
"You look like some one I've met too"
Said mal. "Does the name Irana sound familiar to you"
Asked mal, "she's a bounty hunter that used to be part
Of the town why?" She answered,
Then suddenly mal fell off his horse,
River ran over to him, "are you alright"
She asked him as mal was shaking,
He was rolling around, with his eyes roles
Back, river could only do one thing,
Lay down with him until it was over.
