Chapter Five –Aftermath

Jayne, Zoë and Mal jumped out of the Mule as soon as it reached the end of Serenity’s ramp, weapons at the ready. Mal spoke first while surveying the carnage.

“River, what in the hell happened?”

“This one,” River said, pointing to the moaning man lying on the ramp, his ruined knee bleeding heavily.” Was after Jayne, we tried to convince him that Jayne wasn’t here. Didn’t believe us. Tried to board the ship.”

“Not the first time I’ve ever shot and killed someone Mal.” Allan said. Cutting the captain off.

“Huh?”
