Rating: PG13
Characters: Kaylee, River, Simon

Author's Note: This fic is based on the first of ana_grrl's unfinished snippets.
Kaylee lies in a pool of her own blood.
This stomach wound is more severe than the last one, but Simon Tam could probably still save her life.
But he won't.
* * *
At last, the Alliance gives her the go-ahead to bring River Tam in. (Simon too if she could manage it, but it was River they really wanted.) Kaylee wastes no time, eager to be rid of Serenity and its crew for good, but River is being difficult. She refuses to be persuaded to leave the ship.
Fed up, Kaylee pulls the pistol she stole from Mal's bunk. River is traumatized by guns. Kaylee should be able to force her with it, no problem.
But River doesn't scream or go to pieces when she sees the gun. Instead she twirls...
Kaylee is staggered by the force of the roundhouse kick that knocks the gun from her hand. She throws herself after it, even manages to get off a shot, but it misses River horribly.
* * *
The next thing Kaylee sees is Simon gaping above her, face contorted in anger and disbelief.
Gos se.
He's seen the whole thing.
Kaylee knows she'll bleed to death right there on the floor.
