Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I don't own anybody from Pitch Black. ;( *Crying * I want Riddick! All well, on with the story then!

It had been about seven years since Riddick had last seen Jack and Imam, and he was a little nervous. He wondered how Jack would look now, at the age of twenty-one. He also wondered if she had a man in her life, other than Imam. As Riddick was wondering more and more about how Jack and Imam have adjusted their lives, the spacecraft landed. Riddick pulled out of his thoughts when the passengers started to debark. He gathered his cloak and duffel bag, got off the ship, and started out towards Imam's place.

Jack had no clue that Riddick was coming to visit them. Imam wanted to tell her after she kept winning all the card games they were playing. "I win.......again." Jack said with a yawn. "Imam, can I pleeeeese go home now? It's 10:30 at night and I don't want to sleep through my day off tomorrow." Before Imam could reply to her, there was a knock on the door. Jack looked over at Imam and nervously asked, "You expecting company?" "Yes, Jack. It's okay, he's an old friend," Imam said as he opened the door.

When the door was fully opened, a man or a giant, Jack couldn't tell, walked in wearing a large cloak with a hood that covered all but his lips. Jack started to take a few steps back from the door, where she had been standing with Imam, and pulled her shiv from her belt. When the man in the dark cloak saw the shiv, he gave Jack an evil smile that sent chills down her spine and made her back away a few more steps. As Imam closed the door, the man slowly removed his hood and let the cloak slide from his shoulders.

Jack dropped her shiv, and with a shocked look on her face, whispered, "Riddick?" as she sat down in the chair behind her. Riddick walked over to the chair where Jack was sitting, knelt on one knee, looked into her eyes with a smile on his face and said softly, "Surprise."

Tearing up, Jack smiled and leaned forward to give him a hug. Riddick was caught off guard for a couple of seconds, but then returned her hug. They stayed like that for a couple of minutes. Jack pulled away with tears streaming down her face, in spite of the smile she was wearing. "Oh, I missed you! I thought you wouldn't come back!" Suddenly, she got a worried look on her face and anxiously asked, "Are you hurt? Are you okay? Is someone after you?"

"Jack, calm down!" Riddick said soothingly. "I'm all right. Nobody's after me. That I know of anyway." He smiled when he saw her ease up a bit. Then she embraced him whispering, "I've missed you so much." "I've missed you too, Jack. I've missed you too." Riddick whispered back. As Jack leaned back, she still held on to his hands. "Why'd you come back?" she asked, with more silent tears coming down her face. Riddick took a few moments to think of how he was going to answer her. Then Imam, who had been silent throughout the whole conversation, said, "Jack can you get me my medication? I forgot to take it. It is in my bedroom." Sure," Jack replied. She then left, in search of the pills.

When she was out of sight, Imam walked over to where Riddick now stood. "You should tell her, my friend," Imam whispered, "but tell her after she gets a good night's sleep."
