"Captain! We're here." Wash looked to the triceratops sitting on the console near him. "Just you and me, buddy. You and me." He stared out at the surface of the planet rising rapidly towards him. Landings were easy - easy, just as long as nothing went wrong, as long as he kept it steady, as long as he was smooth, gliding in, a leaf on the wind...
He let out a long, low breath and then grinned. Another perfect landing.
"Good job," Mal said. "Now meet in the hold - we're disscussin' the job."
Wash stood and followed him out. "What? I get to know the intricate details of our crime? Am I allowed to come this time?"
Mal ignored him.
As soon as everyone had gathered in the hold, Mal assumed his most captainy stance. "Well." He gave everyone a stern look and said, "We got somethin' of an oddness this time 'round. Man who hired us has somethin' of an enemy in these parts - one he didn't bother tellin' me about 'til jus' now. And he's the one we're stealin' from."
"So?" Jayne shrugged. "Why's that matter? I c'n just shoot him."
"That would be easy, wouldn't it? But he knows that we're comin' and he knows most o' the crew."
"We can't just give up the job, captain," Zoe said seriously, her arms folded. "We need the coin."
"Do not worry," River said. "He has a plan."
"That's right, li'l witch," Mal said, nodding slowly. "I have a plan." He coughed and said, "He knows most o' the crew, but not all of us. He ain't never seen River."
