Chapter 2

Riddick was in the galley when she walked in. The unexpected smell of waffles filled the air as he pointed to the table with a spatula. "I figured since we dock later we could use up the provisions and have us a good breakfast."

"You just want to load on the calories as you know that fixing the hull after that last brush with the Mercs is going to be back breaking work!"

" Nope" Riddick dumped a load of waffles on her plate.

"Huh? What do you mean nope?" she asked confused

" I already booked the ship in to be overhauled, the hull ain't the only thing that needs work and I don't fancy doing it all myself so its going in and we get to relax for 2 weeks. Well unless some Merc tracks us down!"

Jack sat there open mouthed, Riddick usually did most of the work to their ships, he didn't trust people not to put a tracker on them or sabotage the ship in some way so they could get their share of the bounty on their heads.

Riddick smiled, "I got us new identities Jack, they should keep us covered for a few months at least so we can afford to relax a little while. Fuck we need it after that last run. I got us booked into some fancy hotel so you are going to have to learn to behave none of your usual manners!"

Jack nearly spat out a mouthful of waffles "Me behave, its you who gets us into trouble! Need I mention the last 3 places we have been: Faircroft 6, Kentop Major or Gojip Prime?"

Riddick barked out a laugh then said "Jack those fights were all because of you!" before taking his plate and leaving the galley.

Jack sat there for a few minutes mulling over what he had said. On all three planets he had got into fights, on two of them he had killed people now there was nothing new in that Riddick never baulked at killing people but she knew it wasn't her fault as she had been on board ship when the fights had started. "Humpff he just said that to get the last word" before finishing her food then went to find him.

Riddick was in the pilots seat checking the ships route when she walked in. "Hey Big Bad you going to need me when we dock or can I take off and get some stuff sorted in town?" She said trying to sound casual. Riddick looked up " Nope you can take off and meet me at the hotel, I have a few things to sort out with the ship and I need to meet someone about a possible job that is coming up next month. So you can go have fun kid." He turned back to the console dismissing her. Kid, kid! Lets see him still think of me as a kid once I am through she thought moodily as she stalked off. Riddick smiled reading her frustration in her body temperature and scent. "Don't know who you are messing with kid" he muttered before he looked back down.

Once they were docked Jack took off into the port town. She had a card full of credits and her list of essentials on her hand held. First stop was a beauty salon. She stopped before the door stiffened her spine and walked in. She had never been in one before and the smell of beauty products was almost overwhelming. She almost backed out of the door when a man came forward and greeted her. Her hand went straight to her shiv but soon relaxed when she realised that he was the owner.

After 4 hours of primping and pampering Jack thought she was going to have to kill someone to get out of there still sane. She was sure there was nothing left on her body for them to mess with and she hoped that Riddick noticed her efforts. Her hair had been trimmed, her skin cleansed and moisturised, actually the facial had been quite relaxing, her finger and toe nails had been French manicured (now those wouldn't last long if she had to work on the ships engines again) and she had been waxed. She had thought they were kidding when they told her that the package she had booked included waxing and it had taken every ounce of self control not to slide her shiv into the beauticians sweet spot when she had pulled the first strip of wax off from her bikini line.

Stop two was shopping. She walked down the high street looking in windows as she went. She felt more at home looking at engine parts and weapons than dress shops. She had gotten to the end of the street without going in a shop yet. "Come on Jack" she muttered to herself "your no coward and it cant be worse than getting waxed!" She looked back down the street full of shops and gazed at the women wandering in and out of them and shuddered. It was then she noticed a smaller shop just down an alley to her left and she decided that it would have to do. At least it doesn't seem to have a load of giggling morons in it she thought as she walked in to the jingling of the shops bell.

An hour later she struggled out of the shop with armfuls of bags and a smile on her face. She had lucked out the shop owner had taken her under her wing and she was now the owner of a complete new wardrobe including lingerie to make Riddick drool. She headed to the hotel and couldn't help think that it would be the perfect time to be ambushed as there was no way she could get to her shiv in time with all these bags and the new nails; she made it there uneventfully though and was pleased with the look of the place. She was walking up to the reception desk when she realised she had no idea what her new identity was. She took a quick detour to the bathroom and pulled out her comms unit "Hey Big Evil" she called and waited. "Jack I wondered when you would call" his deep voice growled back through her comms unit.

"Fancy giving me a clue on who I am supposed to be today before someone comes into this bathroom and ruins our whole cover?"

"Jack" he drawled lazily "nothing is going to blow our cover for a while. As for who you are well your Jack!"

"Riddick!" She spat his name through gritted teeth

"Patience Jack, your new identity is Jakki Degg"

"Riddick you wouldn't have happened to give me the name of a stripper or porn star again have you? You remember what I said last time you did that?"

"Jack its OK this one was from the 1980-90s so no-one will remember her name!"

"I am going to get even for this! You know that. Why couldn't I get a normal name? So who are you going to be? Hugh Hefner?"

"No Jack that would be a little too obvious he is still remembered. I gotta go now and I am not going to be there tonight I have business till late so will sleep on the ship. Bye Jakki see you tomorrow for your birthday – have a think on what you want to do!"

She tried to compose herself before leaving the bathroom but the combination of anger at the name he had given her and frustration that she couldn't put her plans into action left her looking a little formidable as she approached the desk. She checked in and the guy on the desk didn't seem to give a reaction to her glamour model name; there was however a problem the man told her. There was a problem with one of the rooms and the hotel had nowhere else to put her travelling companion but he explained the room she had did have 2 double beds in it. Jack smiled and reassured the clerk that that would be just perfect. As she went up in the elevator she didn't see Riddick step out from behind one of the hotels decorative columns and slip the desk clerk some credits with a smile. As he walked away he growled

"Damn Jack your making it hard for me to stick to my rules but tomorrow is a whole different ball game"
