(Act 4)

‘Atherton!’ exclaims Inara

“Inara you seem surprised to see me again”

‘Hardly’ she snorts ‘only a fool like you would risk the anger of the companions guild’ shakes her head ‘you will be hunted down and killed if you so much as touch me’

Evil grin “I plan on doing much more than that” he strides across the room towards her

“I plan to torture and kill Reynolds and then after I’ve forced you to watch I’ll drug you and use you and kill you like the bitch and whore you are”

‘I think not she pulls out a small concealable gun but is stunned by the man who stunned Mal

When the restaurant waiter heads their way alarmed Atherton intervenes “an old flame of mine the poor dear came overcome and fainted” hands over some cash “can you call us a transport we must get her home quickly”

The Waiter is rectified and goes to carry out the commands

Meanwhile behind a curtain watching the proceedings Lord Harrow lurks, shaking his head in disgust as Atherton’s man leans towards Atherton and speaks ‘we had Reynolds there was no need to go after the companion’

Lord Harrow pricks up his ears but his features remain impassive

In a louder voice Atherton replies “this whore” lowers voice to a hiss “this whore set me up – I don't care if it's the last thing I do I will humiliate and kill her”

The waiter returns ‘your transport is waiting Monsieur’

Atherton and the man carry Inara out of the restaurant

Lord Harrow hears Atherton’s final remark “no one knows what’s happened or where they’ve gone – everything’s working perfectly”

To himself ‘I wouldn’t say that’ (Lord Harrow)

Serenity – late afternoon

Zoe and Wash have ‘surfaced’ for dinner and Kaylee has decided to forgive Simon,

Book is not back from the abbey yet and Jayne hasn’t returned from the ample thighs and warm bosom of the whore he has hired

River is prancing around the ship happily when she stops with a look of horror on her face

I had trouble writing this episode I had to get Mal captured and I couldn’t pass the opportunity to do a Mal/Inara scene – but without Inara’s escape how do I tell the rest of the crew who has Mal captive? So I wrote in Lord Harrow into this chapter,

P.S. if anyone is interested since that fancy doo in shindig never was given a name or a reason I named it deviton after a ball attened by sonya (sonics sister) in sonic underground

Not a bad little chapter here, jeraxus. I do wish you would take advantage of a beta reader, because it does get rather hard on occasion to plough through chapters where the formatting, spelling and grammar are improperly done:(

Still...while Atherton is all kinds of campy evil baddie here, it's still an entertaining read.
