The Searchers

[vincentmccloud]

Vincent just shrugged off what James said and went inside to observe the tracks. When he got back out, he observe the ground until he managed to find the trail. He was actually a little impressed, they had covered their tracks well. "Ok everyone, the trail goes off in this direction. Its faint but its there. Lets move out."

Shortly after he began to follow the trail, he thought he felt something in the back of his mind. At first he thought it was just the feeling of being watched so he started to checking the windows. When Serenity crossed his vision, he realized what the feeling really was because, unlike everyone else, Vincent learned to realize when someone entered his mind as opposed to blocking them out completely. He felt that trying to block his mind out was like trying to deny what River was. "You're welcome Riv," he mumbled to himself. Vincent smiled to himself as he spoke to himself. It felt good to know that she read his letter, and although it wasn't much, he was staring to calm down a bit.

Vincent followed the trail a bit more until he started to feel something else. Thoughts and images were forcing their way into his mind. He began to clutch his head, not in pain but clearly in distress. As he tried to make sense of it he began to speak very quickly, almost in a trance, "Three people in a home, but not a home. One doesn't want to be there, not his home, his home is elsewhere. A girl, lost, lost in the valley of darkness, searching. They're close. They're here." He snapped out of it and grabbed the shoulder of whomever was next to him, gasping for air. "I know where they are. Its that one." He pointed to the house across the street and began to make his way over.

James continued to walk, he knew that Mal had to be somewhere nearby, but he had no idea where to start. He rounded the next corner to see Vincent walking toward a house. James began to think 'Is this it?'. James quickly walked to the front of the building. Peering in, he wasn't sure if Vincent was right, but it was better than nothing. James waited right outside the door, for everyone else. He wasn't gonna just follow Vincent blindly, but by the looks of it, he didn't have a choice.

Dave watched as Vincent walked towards the house he had picked. dave decided to get on the comms back to the ship " Hey, you guys hearing me? We found the place, not sure how, but Vincent just seemed to... know... Better get that old bird hot." Dave decided to follow vince. Walking quickly, he caught up with him and followed him inside, before saying "Ive radiod Serenity, told them you found the place and to get the bird ready to fly."

Gene headed over to Vincent when he stopped dead and just seemed to be looking at the sky. "What on earth are you looking at?" Then Vincent started clutching his head and spouting of garbage, he looked over to the doctor and Kaylee, "Has he still got all his marbles rollin' round up there?" Gene was a bit startled when Vincent suddenly grabbed him. He thought about hitting him until he said he knew where Mal was. He just stood there with a half raised fist and a confused look, "When we save him, your gonna have to tell us how you just happened to know that." Reluctantly, he followed him.

Jayne grunted a she followed everyone. This was not pleasent. If this wasn't the place he would be mad. Coming up beside everyone, he followed them in.

Simon

Simon watched everyone go, and looking down at the man at his feet, he stepped over him, being carefull to stand on his hands as he went back to the ship, despite the fact that the man was so high off morphine that he wouldnt feel it anyway.

Kaylee slowly followed the others back to Serenity. She stayed quiet. She didn't know what do say or what to do. She didn't know if anyone else needed her for anything, so she figured she would just head off to the engine room and see what she could find to fix. She shook the thoughts from her head when she noticed how far ahead of her everyone was. She quickly made her way back to the ship to see what was going on.
