“Jayne, what happened?” Kaylee asked frantically. Her fingers worked nimbly at undoing the multitude of buttons that held the shirt closed. Most of them were mismatched like they had been done up in a hurry. Under any other circumstance Kaylee might have thought the disheveled look was endearing on Jayne. “Jayne stay with me,” she pleaded.

“Aw babygirl…ain’t even the honeymoon an’ already yer tryin’ t’get my clothes off,” Jayne slurred dreamily. He reached up to take her hand, but instead it fell to his side as his eyes closed and his breathing became shallower. Kaylee looked up at the captain who mirrored her worried expression.

“He’s going into shock,” Simon announced as he hurried down the hallway and dropped next to Jayne on the floor. His fingers went to the mercenary’s wrist, taking his pulse and checking his vitals as best he could without any equipment. “He has a strong heartbeat.”

“Didn’t no one see him board Serenity?” Kaylee wondered aloud. It didn’t make sense how a bloodied Jayne could make it five steps into the boat without someone noticing him, let alone all the way back to the engine room.

“No one was around. Zoe and Inara left to try looking for him in town again and I was with River who is asleep now. She was having an episode and I gave her a smoother to calm her down,” Simon said.

“Think she felt Jayne bein’ hurt or somethin’?” Kaylee asked quietly as she got the last of the buttons undone.

“Maybe,” Simon said. Pulling the shirt open, both Kaylee and Simon stared down in shock.

“He ain’t got a gorram scratch on him!” Mal shout
