Mal was shivering by the time she reached the ship, though she didn't really notice it. Just like it hadn't occurred to her that she'd stolen the transport, or smeared blood all over it (hers? or his?), or still clutched the knife, her knife in one hand.
She hadn't really thought of anything on the way back, except that her head hurt, and she had to check on Foka, and then she was going to take a very, very long nap. That was all that was really wrong, she knew. She felt funny, floaty and far away, like someone else was controlling her body, and she was just trailing along behind, watching someone else live her life. But she knew she was just tired. It'd been too long since she'd slept. Maybe she'd call in sick to the garage. Just one day. Just a few hours, even. Maybe Foka would be well enough to call. She hoped so. She wanted him to be okay. She needed him to be okay.
She left the blood-stained transport parked under the loading dock for the ship and trudged up the gangplank, already half asleep on her feet. It occurred to her she wanted Foka to still be sleeping. Because he needed to sleep, and she needed to sleep, and she didn't want to talk about the fight club, or the lies, or anything right now. Not Samson. Especially not Samson.
Mal felt a shudder rip down her spine so violently, it hurt. Her ribs felt hot and swollen under her arm. Her neck was slick with blood from her chin, and there was a growing lump at the back of her head. Her shirt hung, heavy, damp, red and white, almost to her knees, the hem stretched beyond the frayed edges of her blood-stained shorts. She'd have to wash these clothes, or maybe just throw them away. But later. Sleep, first.
No. Foka first.
Hoping, praying, she called his name, cautious.
"Foka? Are you okay?"
She hoped he was okay. She hoped he was still sleeping. And if the knife hadn't still been clutched in one crimson-soaked hand, she might have crossed her fingers, too.
