She sat on her bed looking up at the dark ceiling. She couldn't believe this was happening. After all she had been the one to nurture his humanity. She had been the one to keep him one step ahead of the mercs with her computer skills. And now, only after two months of leaving her with Imam, had he fallen in love. Even at 19 Jack still believed in fantasy's. Still believed that one day Riddick would look at her and suddenly relies that they were meant to be together. They had been partners so long. She really believed that they were destined for each other. She took a deep breath and wondered why it was so hard to cry lately. Imam had left an hour ago after breaking the news that Riddick was in love and wouldn't be coming back. She didn't even really know the holy man anymore. They had spent 8 months together after the crash before Riddick and her had taken off, and now living with him was like living with a stranger. After all, 5 years was a long time to be away from someone. Jack jumped off the bed and began to pace the room wondering what she would do with the rest of her life since all her plans revolved around Riddick. The hurt she felt in her heart that she would never see him again almost made her stop breathing. She felt hopeless. She didn't even want to plan a future without him. It was over whelming.

"Why Riddick why now" She thought to herself reliving the conversation her and Imam just had. She kept hearing those words. "Riddicks in love with a women his own age Jack, he's not coming back. But he did leave you some money"

Jack shook her head and continued to pace.

"You promised you'd come back for me once you got us a new ship, you said it would only take 6 months top" She was talking to herself and she didn't care. She sat down and thought about killing herself. Then she relished she was so hopeless that she didn't even have the strength to kill herself, and if she did it wouldn't bring her any release. She silently wondered if this is how people who lay in bed for years and never get up think. Maybe she was going crazy. The thought did little to comfort her. She remembered when she was younger and angry that yelling helped but know she knew that no matter what she did or what happened she would never be okay. Not in death or in life. Riddick had ruined her. Her last thought before falling asleep was that if she couldn't have Riddick she would exempt herself from the human race.

Imam prayed to his god the whole time he walked back to the mercs hotel room.

"Allah please forgive me for what I have done" He prayed before walking into the mercs room. Imam looked around and wondered if the merc would take Jack off planet quickly. He hoped so he knew Riddick had promised to come back once the coast was clear and he didn't want to be the one Riddick came to call on. As the merc and Imam went over the final details of how Imam would set her up for capture he almost pulled out of the deal. Almost. Until he remembered how Riddick never tried to save his three charges. Even when one of them was right beside him in that ship. All he did was wipe his hands and run to that little bitch Jack. How he hated Mr. Riddick. And after 5 years he would get the revenge he desperately wanted.
