It was late when the meeting broke up and everyone knew it would take several hours for them to reach Shadow. The Captain decided to turn in for the night. Yen Mah had been invited to stay in Kaylee's bunk, Jayne sloping off to fetch a spare mattress for her. It meant for the first time since the Captain had been attacked and robbed he got to sleep on his own in his own bunk. It would feel odd but he was looking forward to the opportunity of having some time to himself. His plans were scuppered almost as soon as he made them. Zoe following the Captain to his bunk as if she was glued to his hip. She would not take no for an answer when he told her he needed some time alone. He sighed heavily, wanting to just tell her to back off but one look in those luminous eyes of hers and he just could not do it. He let Zoe follow him down the ladder. As her feet hit the bottom she started in on him just like he knew she would. He reached up and shut the hatch with a sigh. No sense in having the whole gorram boat hearing them quarrel.
"You can't do this, sir, it's suicide. Worse than that it's just plain stupid."
He flinched inwardly. "Don't hold back Zo, say what you mean."
"This ain't funny, Mal. We been through a lot together and I owe you more than I can ever repay in one lifetime but t
Great story. I love the graveyard scene, and Jayne's reaction was just fantastic. Hai anyone told you that you wrote a lovely Jayne, I'd almost considering running off with him, almost!

I'm begging you to write some more Inara, though. Is her subplot finished? How does Paul play into the rest of the story?
Keep writing. You're doing great.
That was a great chapter. Loved the pacing between misery and danger. Also the way we saw Mal's pain through Jayne. Made it worse somehow.
Poor old Captain needs the love of a good woman. GET IN LINE!
Can I echo Jahzara's plea for a resolution of the Inara plot. Don't know if I want Mal to find out about it or not. Don't want him doing anything else stupid! Kispexi
