A/N thanks for the reviews guys! I can't believe I got such a quick response! Hope u like this chapter

After a while when you travel, all the galaxies blend into one. When you've travelled everywhere there is to travel (and some that most don't know about) to escape capture, space travel could be sometimes boring but always relaxing. Jack lay on a small shelf like bunk at the back of her ship, having switched it to autopilot. She'd reach Tri-Furor in a matter of hours. Another good thing about space travel is that it's a good chance to catch up on sleep which was what Jack was doing. She always made sure she did whenever she travelled since most of her nights on solid ground were spent awake. She smiled in her sleep; thoughts of all that waited in Tri- Furor whirling around in her head. She'd been asleep for a long time, only waking to check the ship was heading in the right direction or get food.

A loud buzzing sound jolted her awake. Her eyes snapped open, immediately looking at the control desk at the front.

"What the hell is that?" she grumbled, swinging her legs over onto the ground

Running a hand over her rumpled hair, she stumbled over to the controls. She sat down and began reading the various panels; there was plenty of fuel, power was up, no one was tailing her so what was all the noise about? She got her answer when a planet loomed in front of the ship. She'd arrived early

"Shit! How did I manage to miscalculate the journey time again?" she muttered in disbelief to herself

It was not good that this was the third time she'd miscalculated the journey time and arrived either early or late. She quickly began preparing for landing, mentally furious at herself and her scanners searching for Tri- Furor. Jack could feel her heart beat begin to quicken, excited at the thought of seeing Riddick again. He was grudgingly like her bigger badder older brother; she wondered what he'd be like when she got a boyfriend next. Overprotective probably, searching into the poor guy's family history and so on. It was a thought that made her laugh and gave her comfort, someone was at least worried about her.

Tri-Furor came into sight, well the smoke did first but that pretty much indicated where it was. Jack speed up a little, scanning for the nearest landing park. She could see other ships circling the city now, darting around buildings and beacon boards.

"What a trashy dump" she said "Clean City of the year"

She did like it though, it had a certain appeal. She couldn't put her finger on it; she just liked the atmosphere it had, buzzing and lively. True it was pretty filthy and dirty but she was used to that. She and Riddick had met here several times by accident since they both enjoyed staying in the city. It always reminded her of him, it fitted him perfectly. It was a place where he could blend in and blend out easily since convicts basically run the place. It was his natural habitat, one where he was the most comfortable

She could see the landing park now and opened her com link for security to contact her. Sure enough there was a short burst of static before a clipped voice sounded clearly into her ship

"Three Suns this is Biotic Landing Park on Tri-Furor, do you intend to land here?"

"Biotic Landing Park this is Three Suns, I am intending to land and stay for a month maximum"

"Pilot please identify yourself and state your reasons for staying here"

"Jet Marrow, technical fixer, specialise in communicators, I am alone and intend to visit friends while I'm here"

There was silence then the voice began again

"Proceed to space 89 Three Suns, have a good stay"

The landing park signed off and Jack grinned at the silent com.

"I will" she said "I certainly will"

She quickly prepared for landing, checking everything twice, a habit she'd picked up from Riddick who was obsessive over everything being checked carefully when flying. Then steadily she landed, only bouncing a little. When everything was secure, she blew out her breath, leaning back into her chair.

"Not bad, nearly top class, too bad I'm so hard on myself"

After a moment or two to bask in the glow of a journey and landing well done, she got to her feet and checked her appearance. The skin darkener and hair dye had stayed in; there was no need to touch up. She looked like any other frazzled tired passenger. Jack was always tired; it came from always looking over her shoulder just in case.

Pulling her bags out of the locker, she turned everything off and walking out of the ship, being very careful to lock it afterwards. There was no one around on the park; they were all recovering after lunch. It meant she didn't have to answer any awkward questions and could find somewhere to stay before she went to meet Riddick. She checked her watch and swore loudly, it was nearly two now which meant she didn't have time to change into someone else.

"Guess I'll have to be Jet for a day or two more" she sighed

It also meant that Riddick was probably waiting for her. He was always at their meeting places exactly on time and always knew when she was late. She suspected he watched from the rooftops before making his own entrance.

She quickly crossed the park and hurried down the steps to the street. As usual, Tri-Furor was busy, full of people hurrying in and out of doorways. Here everything seemed grey. It was the concrete that did that but then there were bright colours everywhere as well, enticing you to come in and spend. Luckily for Jack, the beacon boards that hovered above the city had no criminal reward messages up. Since the city was as crooked as they got, there was no point advertising the capture of the city's leading lights. It was another reason Jack liked coming here, there was less chance of you being caught but then they were quick hard on people on wanted lists who came into the city; they thought it made them look good to help others out. An oddly amusing paradox.

The Com-Link Food Court was hard to miss. A huge sign with canary yellow letters spelling out its name was kind of a giveaway. Jack shook her head a little; this place was so trashy it was good. She loved the atmosphere, music was played loudly and as noted by the name, you could eat while getting your com fixed. It was a cool place with every type of food available. She pushed the glass door open and sat down at a spare table. The place was dim-lit with little lamps on each table, apparently it saved power but Jack didn't buy it, it just added to the atmosphere.

"Light" she said in a barely audible whisper

The lamp flickered to life beside her. With a smile, she pulled her com out and began fiddling with the back, debating whether or not to see if she could take it apart and put it back together before Riddick got there.

"Can I take your order?" came a voice

Jack looked up to see an expectant waiter with an electro pad ready. She didn't even have to think about it

"Hot coffee, white, milky" she said

The waited pressed some buttons and nodded

"It'll be ready in five" he said as he went to the next table

Jack checked her watch and frowned slightly. It was past two now and Riddick was nowhere in sight. It was true he was going to be in disguise but they always recognised each other. If he'd found a disguise that fooled her then she'd be surprised. She idly looked around the court, it was huge and there were a lot of people there. She was sat near the door, she and Riddick always arranged to meet near the door since it was easier to spot each other. She knew that Riddick wouldn't sit anywhere else or he'd have contacted her.

A prickle of worry began in her head as a cup of steaming coffee was put down in front of her. She handed the waiter some coins with barely a glance and lifted it to her lips, drinking in the hot calming liquid. She hated waiting; Riddick knew that so where was he? It wasn't like him at all and in all truth, Jack was starting to get really worried. Time was ticking on.

Just then, the door opened and a couple of Blues walked in. That was what everyone who ran from them called the authorities since when you were running; the colour of their shirts was all you could make out behind you. They were both male, looking around with scowls on their faces. Jack continued to work on her com, ignoring the Blues. She felt that if she didn't notice them then maybe they wouldn't notice her.

As she picked up her coffee again, .she felt a pair of eyes on her. Instinctively, she knew it wasn't Riddick. Taking a sip, she looked up and saw one of the Blues staring at her. It wasn't a good stare, heck it wasn't even an 'I'm-imagining-you're-naked' stare. It was an 'I've-seen-you- somewhere-before' stare. This was not good. If a Blue has seen you somewhere before, it's usually from a beacon board or a most wanted list. Jack did not want to be recognised either of them. Her senses were on full alert now. She looked briefly at the Blue before looking back down at her com. He looked like he loved his job, especially the part where he caught the bad guys. He looked like an asshole but that was her own personal assessment. As she continued working on her com, she looked from side to side with her eyes only. She couldn't get out the front door without the Blues stopping her. The only other way out was through the kitchens and they were all the way at the other end. It would have to do. She'd have to go now if she wanted to get out without questioning. It would look suspicious but at least she'd get out. One thought kept screaming in her head

"Where's Riddick?!!"

It was now quarter past two. Something had happened. He was never late; even if he'd seen the Blues he would have come in to get her out. Jack hoped that the Blue hadn't seen through her disguise. If he had then he was taking his time in taking her in. She'd be a big catch to get since she was so closely linked to Riddick on file. Next to Riddick, she was the biggest catch you could get since the reasoning was through her you could get to him. The Blue was still staring at her, trying to see her face. Luckily it was hidden by her shades and the fact that she was staring down. Then the Blue started to walk towards her.

"Lets move" Jack said to herself silently, bracing herself for a sudden run

As she was about to get to her feet, a voice sounded loudly from the doorway.

"Becky! How are you my child?"

She got to her feet, trying not to look shocked. The voice was directed at her. The Blue had stopped in his tracks as she turned around and was enveloped in a hug

"Dad! It's wonderful to see you" she said brightly

This confirmed it. Something was very wrong and she was in deep trouble.
