Vincent sighed when the kids protested, both in relief and disapointment. To be fair, Haven was right about being capable but he was more worried about getting Simon and Kaylee to safety, they were less than capable in these situations. "Haven, I'm not doubting you capabilities, nor yours Daniel. Its just that, I'm not the one you need to convince." He gestured to Simon, then to Kaylee, "You need to convince them." He looked over and saw Simon and Daniel try to take the sniper away, "Hey, hey, hey. What are you doin'? He's stayin' here. He's gonna tell us everything he knows."

Dave looked at them as they tried to cart off the sniper, much to vincents protest. He didnt care what they did with him, as long as he didnt have a gun in his hand... not that he had been to accurate with one before... only vincent had been hit, and that was only because he ran straight at him... dave wandered whether he should point out the fact that the sniper most likely didnt know where they where holding Mal, just to shoot anyone who came off of serenity looking for him... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Simon Simon looked at Vincent as he said that they had to convince him and Kaylee about going out there, but just as he was about to say something about the fact that he thought they should not convince him but there mother, than Vincent was telling him how to handle his patient. "Honestly vincent, I doubt he was told where they are holding him, most likely he was given orders to try and shoot us if we came out en-masse. Would you honestly think they would tell a hired gun where they would be? and even if they did, it would almost definately be a fake or a trap."

Gene stepped away from the group while they bickered about what to do about the sniper. He found the whole situation rather idiotic. From what he gathered from their conversations, this doctor was Haven's father or at least some sort of close relative. This made him bitterly disappointed in the doctor, what with him being blissfully ignorent to the fact that the man he's trying to help was just shooting at his daughter moments ago.
He began to look around at the nearby houses, keeping an eye out for any kind of activity, or inactivity. If no one else is going to do the work, then he would have to.

James took long glances toward each building surrounding the warehouse, none of the houses nearby looked suspisious, people moved to and from them as they pleased, not much for hidin someone if people were comin and goin as they pleased. A house not far looked a little out of the ordinary. The windows where shut, and blinds closed. There was only a small amount of movement from upstairs, if even that. The nearby warehouses could use a look too, the sniper may have said a house, but the sniper could have easily been lieing to save his own skin. James scanned the warehouses for anythin that might start shootin durin there little search, but found nothing, either they only had one, or the others where much more patient. James decided he had seen enough, and he took off back toward where the others were, getting to the edge, he leaped down grabbing the drain pipe, sliding for down for a few feet, he pushed off and landed a few feet away from vincent and the others. Standing straight up, he looked around and said "What I miss?"

This was getting them nowhere. Everytime they argue, they're only wasting valuable time to find Mal. Daniel felt that if he didn't speak up know, then Mal would be long gone while they are still standing here. "Everyone, will you all just shut up. All this bickering is gettin' us nowhere. Vincent, Dad and Dave are probably right. You're an expert tracker, why don't you examine the prints and follow 'em to the source." This was unusual terrortory for Daniel, he practically never has a go at people, and now that he started he found himself unable to stop. "And Dad, I didn't want to say anythin' but why are we helping him? Incase you forgot, he was shooting at us, hit Vincent and has played some part in taking the captain."

Haven thought this was riddiculous. Looking at her parents, she knew they'd want her back at the ship so decided to give up. "Fine." Throwin g a fleeting look, she threw Bella's gun in her pocket. "if you do help him, you shoudl dope him up dad. That way he doesn't know where he is. He can't tell anyone anything then."
Haven went to her mom. Hugging her, she decided to head up ahead alone. "I'm going to check on River and Bella until you guys get there. You can help dad." Doing a sort of salute, she went to Gene, "nice ot meet you." Then turned to James. "Keep your head low and your mind high. Anything suspicious? Tell Vincent right awya unless you want to be shot." From there she turned and headed to Serenity.

Kaylee went over to the man. He was extremely young. "Why are we whelping him? He shot at Haven!" Looking a ther daughter, she saw her soften up some. Something was chaning. THe captain's disappearance wasn't helping. "Ok sweetie. We'll be there in a moment. You'll probably help your father if he takes this scum and Daniel can go to the bridge."
Looking at James, she shrugged. "Haven was shot, my husban dis trying to ehlp the man, and Vincent has sent me, SImon, Haven and Daniel away. Other then that no. You?"

Vincent was starting to get extremely frustrated at everyone for refusing to grasp the concept that he knows what he's talking about. He was, after all, trained to think hundreds of moves ahead of his target, to question their motives, their intentions and their actions. The pain in his shoulder wasn't helping things, it only served to fuel his feelings beyond his usual calm self.
Vincent was not all that surprised from Daniel's outburst, just surprised that he was the on to do it, "Well said Daniel, truly well said. Now, you all have jobs to do, so please, I beg you, just do 'em." He didn't shout his last word, but he said them with such force and anger in his tone that they should know better than to argue. He waited until Haven was out of earshot before speaking again, "And doctor, dope him if you must," he went over to Simon and whispered so softly that only Simon could hear, "but he is not...getting on that ship alive." Vincent headed towards the warehouse to observe the tracks.

James listened to Haven, "alright..." James didn't know what to say, and said then said something quietly under his breath. James turned to looked at Kaylee, "Oh that all? Anyway, I saw a few buildings lookin Little out of the ordinary, not sure about any additional snipers, but I think it might be a good idea to keep low..." James paused for a minute, "a lot Unlike me!" James finished with a small chuckle. As he saw Vincent leaving he quickly stepped forward and grabbed Vincent good shoulder. "Hey..." James waited for Vincents response before he said anything else.

Dave said nothing. Quite intent with being ignored, he followed Vincent, saying nothing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Simon Simon looked to wards Kaylee, Haven, Daniel and Vincent in turn... he didnt want to kill the man, but he took a Hypocratic oath, and he was determined to keep it. He decided to dope the man anyway and took out two morphine auto-injectors. Charging them, he plunged them into the mans thigh and then tied a piece of surgical tubing around the mand ankle to stop the bleeding, seeing as the coagulant he had sprayed on had come off when his shoe had been removed. "OK, I wont take him inside the ship. He can stay here, the Tourniquet should stop the bleeding, and with the morphine, hes going to be out of it for about 6 hours." he said.

Gene turned round to see the salute thing that Haven did, and he gave a slight chuckle. She wasn't like and woman or girl he had ever known and, in an odd way, he couldn't help but be impressed with her. Not that he would ever admit to it, in fact he would probably punch someone for merely implying it, he was never one for niceties. "Laters sweetheart," he turned back to the group that were going to remain, "now that you ladies have stop bickering, can we get on with this?"

Now that everyone had stopped arguing, Daniel took a moment to compose himself so as not to have a go at anyone else. Feeling a lot calmer, he turned to his father, "I'm sorry dad, I didn't want to say anythin', but I couldn't help it. I ment what I said though, I'm just sorry you had to hear it." He looked over to his mother, "Ok mom. I'll start getting her ready." He gave her a quick hug and headed back to the ship, but not without feeling dissapointed that he never truly proved himself as a protector.

Vincent was relieved to hear that the doctor would be leaving the man behind, although you'd never know it from the expression on his face. He was more than prepared to kill the man just to prove a point, but it didn't mean that he was pleased with the decision to do it. Vincent stopped dead in his tracks when James grabbed him by the shoulder, Vincent figured that he should be pleased that James was smart enough to know which on to grab, but that wasn't so. He sharply turned to face him, effectively throwing James' hand off. He glared into his eyes and spoke as calmly as he could in his present state of mind "This had better be important."

James was slightly thrown off guard, he had known Vincent wasn't too pleased with this whole situation, but this was a little much. James took a deep breath, "Forget it, just watch your back..." James knew that right now wouldn't be the best time to try telling Vincent anything, the last time he tried, Vincent ended up even more pissed at him. He didn't give anyone anytime to get a word in, we quickly took off around the side of the building, to start searching the few buildings that he thought could have had the captain.

Kaylee placed a hand on Simon's arm. "Is there anything I can help you with?" She spoke softly; feeling it necessary after the previous argument. She looked around for a moment. It seemed too still. She wasn't sure why, but it scared her. She knew none of the others would let anything happen; and the fact that the building weas empty suggested that no one would be around soon because they had left with the captain too long ago. But just the stillness mixed with their reasons for being there madeher uneasy. She stayed close to Simon's side mostly to see if he needed help, but also for her won security.
(OOC: I'm BAAACK!! Okay so it ain't much. I'm still processing some of the goings on. :: Tackles Haven in a hug :: Thanks sweetie! You're the best! Luv everybody!)

Gene could understand why this Vincent character was the one in charge. It was as though his mere presence commanded order and anyone that even hinted at defying him would get their had torn off before the even realized what had happened. And if he was a subordinate, Gene could only imagine the ruthlessness of the captain they were going to save. Gene followed the group but not too close though. Vincent appeared to be on a short fuse and he didn't want to be standing next to him when he 'exploded'.
