There have been clues to the Prisoner's identity in the last three 'days'. Any guesses?

Day 6
Simon tried to push thoughts of her out of his mind. But every time he closed his eyes, he could feel her warm breath on his cheek, her soft lips flowering beneath his as they kissed. If his body ached from the beatings he had sustained, his heart ached with want of her.
He hoped she was safe, that Serenity had gone when he’d been captured. But he knew that hope was false. His sister, if no one else, would go to the ends of the ‘verse looking for him. They were too close, had been through too much together, for her to do otherwise.
Simon groaned as he thought about River, how angry he imagined she’d be if she was forced to abandon searching for him. And Kaylee, the sweet mechanic, innocent in some ways, not so innocent in others, forced to say goodbye to another.
He remembered finding her wedged into the corner of her bunk, of the engine room, staring at nothing, after Book and Wash had died. Their deaths had sapped a little of the energetic girl’s neverending cheerfulness and the thought of his death doing something similar made Simon’s heart ache to the very core.
“Still breathing over there?”
The question made Simon tremble with pain and chill. “Just thinking.”
“Don’t tell them about her.”
Simon tensed instantly, wondering what his cell-mate could be talking about. He hadn’t mentioned River or Kaylee, or anyone else – that he could remember. Had he been talking in his sleep? “What do you –“
“Yo
I'm going to guess the operative for the prisoner.
I think you're doing an excellent job with Kaylee aswell. I can definately empathize with her situation, I know that if it were my spouse/significant other I'd be going out of my mind.
Inara didn’t have the heart to tell the girl that Mal had expressly forbidden it.
~I'd really like to see any of them, even Jayne, try to stop her (well, with the way you usually write her that is)
I am going to stick by my assesment that the other prisoner is part of the interrogation.
I'm not sure that Mal will be holding Kaylee back though. The woman's on a mission!
“Don’t tell them about her.” *confused my thinking about the who, so...I'll think harder.
And Kaylee is right on character, she is stubborn and feisty and would be more than willing to fight to get Simon back - she worked too hard to get him in the first place!
