Fly's gonna kick Pain in the pigu! And I am gonna laugh.

INCOMING VOICE WAVE:
MAIDENHEAD TAVERN: BEAUMONDE
"Hola, Crew of Serenity, and in particular, Captain Reynolds.
This is Fanty, speaking for my brother Mingo, and inviting you gents to see if you'd like a little job.
Beep up back if you care.
"How was that?"
"Overdramatic as usual, Fanty. Why can't you just say, 'We'd like to see you about a job?'
"You have no sense of style, Mingo! It's all about the verbage!"

Sammy sat in her chair, staring at her blackened cortex screen. They were saying the man who was dead was alive, but he wasn't coming back.
The man who's bunk she'd been sharing. Closing her eyes, she tried to picture him, tried to remember. Instead, there were dark black eyes, a flash of black hair, a creased smile that enhanced a youthful face... Diggs. Diggs was dead, too.
That part hurt. That part seemed real. She held her bare hand up to the light...how long ago? Years, Universe had told her.
A whisper of silk beside her and Inara's face, warm and concerned, met her gaze. "Is there anything I can do to help, sweetie?"
Sammy fell into the arms of the beautiful woman and sobbed, breaking down once and for all.

"Now you care," 13 said, seemingly appearing in the doorway. "When you think someone's dead, you couldn't shed a tear, but now that he's alive you look like a gorram fountain."
"13," Inara warned, still holding Sammy.
"No, that won't work. Does she even know your name, Inara? Did you ask her if she knew?"
He stepped towards Sammy, hunkering to speak in her ear. "Who are you?" he whispered. "Not the woman I saw cleaning up my blood, not the one I saw fighting for other lives, and definitely not the woman I saw eating the finest food in the system with the man you loved.
"How can you look like her but be so weak?"

*JR had walked into the galley at that moment and hear what 13 said to Sammy/Ertia. Gritting his teeth and holding back the urge to fill 13 with lead, JR said to him in a low growl*
You wanna leave her alone 13? She's gone through a lot of pain and sufferin' and right now she doesn't need to be hounded by the likes of you. So 13 I ask you again, leave her alone. She'll remember Pain in time you'll see.
*JR sauntered off to the kitchen and took down a coulpe of pots and pans. He said to those in the galley*
I'm goin' to be cookin' up one of my specialties. Anybody wanna help?

"I cooked last night." said Choo trying to get some sleep at the table.
"As we all know." said Simon. "Havn't stop going on about it."
"Could be worst, i knew someone who never shut upo about geekos. Everything he said was related to them..." Choo replied.
"you sell anything to him?" asked JR.
"yeah....a frakking geeko." Choo shot back.
Suddenly the comm came into life. "13 their are some people here who want to talk too you!" the captain said.
--------------
Meanwhile, The Core.
"Seeing that he man 13 hasn't brought us any news about the Tam girl." the man said into the cortex screen. He was well dressed in the most expensive suit, hair trimmed to perfection, only strange thing was the dark pair of glasses that covered his eyes. "I am handing the mission over to you. Find the Tam girl. No matter what, if you come up against ANY resistance, do not hesistate to dispose of them."
"Very well." said the Operative, "She will be brought to you in one pieace. FOr the glory of the Alliance."
"yes....for the glory of the Alliance" the man repeated as the Cortex cut off. In front of him five blue handed men stood like statues.
"And Blue Sun of course." he said, smiling ear to ear.
(thought i'd throw something different in at the end. Hope no one minds...)

*grabs writers block. Hits it with a large hammer.*
We all get it...it sucks.
Now a word from our sponsors:
The Doctor: Think of it, plastic, all over the world, every artificial thing waiting to come alive. The shop window dummies, the phones, the wires, the cables...
Rose: The breast implants....
*Blue Sun Plastics. 'Cause it can do anything!*

Choo have you been raiding the Infirmary again? 
*Fly stormed off the bridge and headed to her room, not caring about the smell of food cooking or the people in the galley. She muttered to herself*
I'm gonna kill that hun dan if and when he gets back. Stupid fool makes us think he's dead only to wave us that he's alive and well and that he'll be back sometime in the future.
Meanwhile on the Bridge
*Another beep on the console alerted Wash. He looked at the flashing icon on the vidscreen and pushed it. Reggie's face flashed on the screen and he said*
'Ey mon ees Pain there? Eye 'ave an eemportant job for eem.
*Wash replied in a somewhat calm but shaky manner*
Uh Pain's not here right now. Can I take a message?
*Reggie replied*
What do ya mean Pain's not there mon?
*Wash replied*
Like I said he's not here.
*Reggie was a little frustrated and said*
Well ees Fly there then? Perhaps she can take thees job Eye 'ave for Pain then.
*Wash replied*
Uh let me go get her Mr....uh what was your name?
*Reggie replied*
My name ees Reggie mon.
*Wash replied*
Right Mr. Reggie I'll go get Fly.
*Wash hit the shipwide com and said*
Uh Fly you're needed on the bridge. There's a message for you.
Near Fly's bunk
*Fly muttered to herself*
If that's Pain I'm gonna rip him a new one.
*Fly reached the nearest com, hit the button for the bridge and said*
Patch it through to my bunk Wash.
*Fly then entered her bunk and slammed the door.*

"Don't try to rutting placate me!" 13 shouted, electric eyes burning. "Don't ever."
With one last, disgusted glance at Sammy, 13 stormed from the bunk and onto the bridge.
"Someone wants to talk to me?"
Mal levelled his eyes at the robot, saying, "Yeah, they do. But soon after we're gonna have a little talk about using your in-door voice."
"I'll take the call now, Wash," 13 said.
"Regular phone network here," the pilot grumbled cheerily. "I'll put it through on the portable."
Tossing 13 a small, ten-inch wafer-thin monitor, 13 leaned against the wall, flicking on the display. The screen remained lifeless, and 13 readied to smash it in anger when a cutting woman's voice came through.
"Calm down, 13. Just an old friend checking up on you."
"Calisto?"
"Calisto," the voice confirmed. The screen remained black. "Now that we're past the small-talk, I'll cut to the juicy parts.
"I've been doing what I can, diverting Alliance patrols and such, but it get's really interesting once I start hearing rumors about you and that ship you've been riding on for the past while."
"What kind of rumors?" 13 said doubtfully.
"Not the good ones. I've been having a hell of a time trying to figure out why they're so determined to find Serenity, and how far they're willing to go. Believe me, they are willing to go very far."
13 scoffed, remembering a certain sequence of events that involved a certain robot, and led to the shooting of said robot.
"They've got spies, fleets, and entire flagships devoted to finding you, not to mention every mercenary in the galaxy.
"Something's going to happen, 13. Something big. Maybe the biggest thing since the war, and it's all centered around one small salvager.
"And the Reavers...they've been acting up lately. Attacking more and more settlements, capturing more ships, actually cutting off trade routes...it's like they're getting ready for something, like they're getting smarter."
Smart Reavers...not a comforting idea.
"Listen," Calisto said. "I know where you're headed. I'll rendeszvous with you once you arrive, and I'll be bringing more information."
"Thanks, Cal. I'd appreciate it. By the way, exactly how do you know all this?"
He could picture her smiling wisely as she whispered, "Eyes of the universe, my friend. See you soon."

"Do i smell cooking?" Zoe asked coming into the galley.
"Rustling up an old favorite...without most of the ingredints" JR replied, adding "Its a suprise."
"Hope its a good one." Zoe said eyeing the pan suspiciously.
"hows it going? Made contact with Pain yet?" Book asked.
"Nope, but people have most certainly been contacting us." Zoe said grabbing a cup. "been that busy Wash is thinking of becoming one of those corex call girls." Zoe said rolling her eyes.

Fly's bunk
*Fly walked over to the vidscreen in the wall and turned it on. Reggie's face came into view. Fly gave the dreadlocked man a polite smile and said*
So what's up Reggie? I hear you wanted to talk with me.
*Reggie replied*
That Eye did Fly. Eye had a job for Pain but since 'e ain't there, Eye thought Eye'd give eet to ya.
*Fly thought it over and said*
What kind of job is it Reggie?
*Reggie replied*
Thee kind that requires a gun hand girl. Are ya een or not?
*Fly bit her lower lip as she thought about it then said*
Yeah I'm in Reggie. Upload your coordinates to me and I'll see what my Captain says.
*Reggie nodded and said*
Alright then girl. Eye'll be waitin' for ya response.
*Numbers and words flashed on the screen and Fly copied them down. She smiled at Reggie then turned off the vidscreen and left her room.*
