Prologue

Mal could tell they were going to try something as soon as they sauntered over, he didn’t trust these two as far as he could throw them.

But business was business and he had to remember that. They needed the coin to keep Serenity in the sky and protein rations in everyone’s stomach.

Maybe he could get some fruit, help soften Kaylee up a bit.

Aww, who was he kidding, Kaylee could hold on to a grudge like a python claiming its lunch. He silently admitted he’d be tracking both Tams down and convincing them to return to Serenity, it really wasn’t safe and no matter what the stuck up doc thought, and after all they had been through, the alliance would be on their asses with or without the extra baggage. It really didn’t help that Kaylee had been all pouty and River with those big browns eyes, not fair the a man had such a weak spot for defenceless girls.

“Fanty, Mingo.”

They smirk at him and try to fool with him,

“He’s Mingo,” like he was going to fall for that switched identity go se.

Well he knew the steps to this dance.

“He’s Fanty, Your Mingo”

“Fanty’s prettier. Feel to do some business?”

We moved to one of the booths to get business sorted.

A few more pleasantries, they were offered drinks, which he took but didn’t drink. That’s a lesson you only need to learn once. He’ was starting to get that feeling, something was definitely up with these two tonight. They should have that bag of
