Jayne knelt down next to the ashes of the cold fire and reached in with a gloved hand to scoop up some of the black and gray bits that crumbled beneath his grip.

“Bit warm. We’re gaining on em, like I said.” Jayne told his two companions who were standing behind him holding the three horses.

Wiping his hand on his cargo pants, Jayne stood and peered into the dark forest around them. He could see their quarry’s trail through the shadows of pine and brush, almost feel the passing of the rough men who kidnap little kuangzhe de girls.

“I’m not doubting ya, I am just not seeing this trail your following.” Mal said as he mounted his gray gelding.

“That’ cuz someone’s doing a damn good job of hiding it.” Jayne answered walking back over to them and taking the reins from Zoe. “And cuz you never were very good at track’n. It’s why ya hired me.” And it with that Jayne swung into the saddle of the black and white paint gelding.

Mal ignored Zoe’s quick smile and said, “Well then be a good boy and take the trail” He waved his hand in the direction Jayne had been staring earlier.

Jayne growled at being referred to as a dog, but heeled his horse forward to follow the trail only he could see.

Around them the sun was slowly inching it way toward the horizon, and the darkness beneath the trees was growing steadily. Ahead of them were the men who had kidnapped River from the mining town situated in the foothills of the mountainous region of the border moon of Aries. The same men who had shot Simon when the young doctor had tried to stop them from taking River were now headed deeper into the mountains.

They had wasted an hour digging the bullet out of Simon’s shoulder, Zoe carefully following the doctor’s instructions while Wash held a mirror for the doc to be able to see the wound. All the while Jayne had armed himself

What is a 'paint'? I am taking it that it is a kind of horse but have never heard the term before. I like how this is shaping up and the fact that Jayne doesn't know he is a Sentinel until their captors tell him. Can't wait for Mal and Zoe to get free, come up with a cunning plan, and rescue Jayne and River - paying the bad guys back with interest. Ali D :~)
