Crow hesitated, unsure how to answer. "Well, it wasn't my idea-" he stopped as he realized there was a gun pointed at his head. He mentally cursed at himself for not noticing the gun earlier. Or maybe he had noticed, and had just chose to believe that Jayne wouldn't use it against him. Don't trust anyone. That was what he had learned, the hard way. He slowly unsheathed his sword and dropped it on the ground. "Jayne." He said, trying hard to stay calm, "I know what this looks like, but you don't need to do this." Crow's eyes were locked on the gun's trigger the entire time, his whole body tense.(I didn't get a notification for this, sorry it took so long.)
"hmm," Jayne nodded in agreement. "But you're ok with killing Firestein? That's why you guys came here." Jayne frowned was it only Misty who had said that? "You realize it's my job to keep him safe," Jayne pulled his handgun and held it to Crows forehead, he wasn't sure why these kids had let him keep it, had he somehow earned their trust or were they just that disorganized that they didn't notice he had kept it? "and there's nothing you can do to stop me from doing my job." Jayne tensed, realizing he didn't want to hurt the kid. "Put your sword on the floor." He growled.
Sammy finally snapped out of her trance. "Stop!" she shouted, "You don't have to kill him! Don't... don't you have to interrogate him first?" She asked, trying to keep the hope out of her voice.(GUYS LET'S FUN, K?)
Gage got to his feet, albeit shakily. The place smelled of rust and something damp. The elevator music sputtered out, and silence fell so much that he could hear himself breathe.
"It's empty." He whispered at last.
Slowly, he shuffled toward the cells where they had been interrogated just days prior. "It seems so long ago... When we found Noel."

Meanwhile, the 'Noel' they had rescued had Chase by the throat.

Gabriel snuck up to a sphere and peeked inside to where a spider girl lay curled in on herself. Wakey wakey. He said, watching her shuffle as he did so, and grinned. How long had they waited for this day?
He tapped the control panel with a much-practiced code.
(Sorry for not replying... I haven't been on for a few days.)
Crow would have seen him shoot at Maru. XD )
