As soon as the connection was cut the Captain turned to River. "You hear all that?"

The girl nodded and stepped out of the shadows, her pale face solemn but focused. "Yes."

"He gonna keep his word?"

"Only if you keep yours."

Jayne Cobb was not a man to worry overmuch about others but ever since Monty had been thrown back in the dank cell the man's breathing had been a cause for concern. Just him and Monty, no sign of Wash. Jayne had glimpsed Wash briefly and couldn't help but worry about who else the twisted *tamade hundan* had in his clutches. All to win back some kind of reputation the Captain had taken from him. Didn't make sense to him. They had already given back the money when Mal decided to give the medicine back. Niska had been pissed alright and taken more than his gorram pound of flesh before the crew went in and rescued the Captain, and that was after paying five times the cost of the job to ransom Wash. This man was not the type to make your enemy.

"Nnnnggghh..."

The mercenary moved stiffly off the padded bench and knelt beside Monty. Couldn't see much detail of his injuries on account of all the blood but the man was definitely in pain. "Monty, you hear me? It's Jayne, Jayne Cobb."

Well, you're certainly tugging on every heartstring I've got, here! I felt horrible for Monty, and the scene with Wash getting whipped made me want to cry. He's such a kind and sweet person that it seems so horribly unfair that he should have to suffer cruelty and violence. You did write him very much in character though, I think - utterly miserable but above all concerned for his wife.

I'm glad Mal is calm enough to think and to plan carefully; also very much in character. I'll bet Niska is downright planning on a double-cross from him, so he better tread very gorram carefully.

:waits with bated breath for new chapter:

Oh damn...this was just all kinds of painful, AMDOBELL. Definitely struggled not to flinch my own self when I read the parts about Monty's condition post-torture session and Wash's treatment. That and I loved how you started to explain Hanimoto's connection to Mal;D

Wow, there is so much tension in this it's rippling off the screen. Can't wait to see what happens next!
