A/N - Continuation of part 8... I think there's going to be a third installment to this part...

Thanks go out to everyone who's reading and encouraging me to keep writing this tale... I originally started just wanting to write up one little scene, and look where I am now... I think I'm on the verge of turning this into a much larger story, much much larger than I ever anticipated... And since I'm having a ball writin' it, I guess I don't mean to stop anytime soon! And ya' all are responsible for that, with your shiny words, so thank-you. You inspire me to be more than I was...

Go back and read the Other Parts:

Choices - Part 8 B

Mal waited, watching as the ramp slowly revealed the four men, marking their positions and what they were carrying. Three of the men were indeed armed heavy, but there was no mistakin’ who was in charge. Mal directed his gaze at the apparent Lawman, trying to size the man up as he stared back.

The three men with guns raised their weapons warily at the sight of Jayne and Zoe, and Mal held his hands up in an appealing manner in an attempt to keep everyone at their ease.

“Easy now,” said Mal stepping forward. “Ain’t no call to come upon us aimin’ to shoot.”

The Lawman also held up a hand, holding off his men. “No need for violence. ’Only come to talk, Captain,” he agreed, recognizing with equal obviousness that Mal was the man in charge of this crew. “’J

Yay an update!
Shame how the place was burnt down though - and it would be a shame if Gabr’elle died.

Like where the plot's going - keep up the good work.

Please tell me you didn't kill Gab'relle. My love for this character remains big and I do hope to see more of her in the course of this new twist!!

Great part, this! You did a great job capturing that tension of both sides being right in their way, the local law and Mal, and the way they eventually got around to understanding each other.

Inara, of course, being instrumental there, hehehe. Very fun, watching that. *g*

I love Mal and Inara having the same response to the fire, the same anger and determination to see the truth, and the way this mirrors their moment over Nandi's dead body. Mommy and Daddy actually working together? Force of nature!

Dear part 9, please arrive soon. Love, me.
