Chapter 3
Lieutenant Davis is the head person in charge of the case, and a royal pain in
everyone's ass. He's dead set on Riddick being the killer and has a 'crush' on
Gillian. "Davis, can you make this quick. I have a Ball to plan." "Ah yes!
The infamous Annual Lanka 3 Ball, where all the Richies come out and let
themselves be known." Gillian rolls her eyes. Davis moves closer to Gillian
so that they're only a few inches from each other, "Am I invited?" "No," she
snaps, "But why do I have the feeling you're gonna be here anyway?" He laughs
at the assumption, because she was right. "Look 'Mrs. Riddick', we need you're
husband to come in for questioning ASAP." "When are you gonna learn that
Riddick isn't doing this?" "When are YOU gonna see that I'M the man for you?"
Davis replies smugly. "Get out." She says as she points for the door. He
laughs as he walks towards the entrance, "I'll catch you later Gillian." Once
he's completely out of the door Gillian shakes with disgust. A couple of hours
later when everyone is at home, the women and girls are in the kitchen helping
the kitchen helping with dinner. Outside of the kitchen, to the garden, the
men and the boys are outside. Jean and Riddick are teaching them the basics of
football. "Aww look Gilly, they're all in their little football uniforms!"
Jack drools. Gillian peaks out of the window to see "Look at Mattie!" she
points and squeals to her youngest boy. He's sitting on top of Riddick's
shoulders with his helmet literally swallowing his head. They both laugh; Jack
goes back to chopping something. Gillian stays to look on. Riddick is running
with Matthew in his arms while Matthew clutches the football in his hands. The
other boys are chasing after them. Riddick and Jean have the biggest smiles
on their faces. Gillian then focuses on Riddick as he's tackled to the ground.
He's careful that Matthew is safely planted before he lets himself to get
trampled. Gillian's heart begins to swell. How can anyone believe that
Riddick is behind these gruesome murders? Anyone who can see him at this
moment would change his or her minds in a heartbeat. She goes over to the
French double doors and yells to them that it's time to wash up. As they all
scramble into the house, Jean and Riddick stagger in, panting. Laughing, Jack
goes over to Jean with a glass of water and a kiss, "What's wrong, you guys
can't muster up anymore innings?" "Maybe latter on tonight when the kids are in
bed." He whispers loud enough for the grown ups to hear but soft enough so that
the other little people can hear. Suddenly the twins come up and plaster
themselves to each of one of Riddick's legs. Laughing, he peels them of and
picks them up, one in each big arm. "Why hello there Henny Penny!" He kisses
Mikiyla. "Hello Bugaboo." He turns to kiss Mikayla. "Daddy can we go to the
party tomorrow night?" Mikiyla whines. "Uh." Riddick says. It's hard for him
to say no to his girls. "Well, I don't think you'll like it much." They both
shake their head's in unison, "Uh huh, Me and Kayla already picked out our
dresses." "To come to this party you have to have dates." They look at each
other then back at their father, "Will you be our date daddy?" Mikayla asks.
Riddick's heart melts on the spot; he turns to Gillian and gives her a 'help
me' look. Gillian comes over, "Sorry girls. Daddy said he was gonna be my
date for the party." "Tell you what sweet peas," Riddick begins, "We'll have
our own little party after tomorrow night. Deal?" "Deal!" They yell as they
climb down from Riddick. After they leave Riddick turns to Gillian ans says in
a sad voice, "Did you see that?" "Yep, they're gonna be a couple of
heartbreakers once they get older." "Older? I was about to dump you and take
them to tha ball." Gillian gasps mockingly then hits him playfully in the
chest. He laughs as he pulls her into a deep kiss.
Later that night when Riddick has given the children their baths he staggers
into their room and plops on the foot of the bed. Gillian laughs at him while
flipping through the channels, "The twins?" "The twins," he groans. She laughs
harder. "It's funny how three boys can all take a bath and get into their pjs
with no fuss." He continues, "Yet I can't handle two 2-year-old girls." He
grumbles as he turns on his stomach. "If it wasn't one thing it was another.
I wasn't using the right soap mommy uses, I didn't wash their hair like mommy
does, I didn't do the submarine like mommy does. I see now why you're tha
mommy and I'm the daddy." "Why is that she says as she climbs over to straddle
his back. "Cuz I can't do it like mommy does." He says. She lets out a low
laugh the bends down to whisper in his ear, "Well I like the way daddy does
it." "Is that right?" He rumbles. She starts to rub his arching muscles,
"Yep." He slides his goggles off and throws them over to the nightstand.
"How's that feel." She asks as she moves over his shoulders. The sound of his
moan is enough answer for her. "Riddick." "Hmm?" "He sent another gift today."
Riddick lets out a deep sigh, "What was it?" "The usual. Roses and a card."
"Did you call that Davis asshole?" "No, he came by before I got the gift."
"What?" "Me and Jack were in the garden and he came while we were there. He
wants you to come in for questioning." "Fuck that!" he snarls. Now it's
Gillian's turn to sigh, "Why not?" Riddick moves so he can face her. "What tha
hell do you mean 'why not?'" "Just like I said! I mean, it's just
questioning!" "Why don't I just turn myself in Gillian? Huh, what about that?"
"Stop overreacting Riddick. All I'm saying is that you have nothing to hide so
why don't you just go and answer their questions. With you being the Leader of
this planet it's gonna get out soon that you don't want to cooperate with the
cops. That looks bad." "Yes Gillian, it's also gonna look bad with me going
under interrogation." Gillian opens her mouth to say something else but
Riddick stops her, "I'm not going!" he yells. She glares holes through him
with her green eyes. His face softens, "Gill I'm sorry for yelling." Without a
word she moves back up on the bed and snuggles back under the covers. Riddick
follows shortly after and tries to snuggle against her. "Riddick, don't touch
me." "Baby I didn't mean to yell. You know how I feel about cops." A few
moments later she turns to him, "I just wish this were all over. I'm getting
scared." He pulls her close, "I know." 'I am too.' He says in his mind.
The next day is spent planning for the Ball later that night on compound. Of
course extra security is put in so not just anyone can come in. With Laura in
her arms, Matthew and the twins at her feet playing with cars and dolls;
Gillian watches as Riddick grumbles over having to wear a Tuxedo. "Can't we
just cancel this thing tonight?" "No Riddick. I don't know why you hate
wearing a Tux so much." "Cuz I look like a dork with this junk on. Especially
this tie." He says as he tries to figure out how to tie it. "Don't worry
daddy, mommy makes me wear a tie to church all the time and it bugs me too."
Matthew says to his father. Riddick just glances back at him with a smile,
"Thanks Mattie, that helps." Gillian gets up and hands Laura to Riddick, "Okay
kids go with daddy." "Where's daddy going?" Riddick says. "Daddy's going out
of here so I can get ready for the Ball in peace." She says as she pushes them
out of the room. He turns back, "You know." he says as he looks around to make
sure the kids aren't listening, "we got a bit of time before the Ball starts."
His brows wiggle up and down. She rolls her eyes, "The last time I fell for
that, we got Laura." "That was just a coincidence." "Then the time before that
we got the twins," she sits back to wait for his retort before continuing,
"Then we got Mattie before that." "It's different now." He says in a pleading
voice, "You're on the regulator now." He moves in closer to kiss her and she
almost gives in until the little form in Riddick's arms begins to coo and
thrash around. Gillian laughs as Laura reaches up to peel Riddick's lips away.
She pushes him all the way out of the door this time and leans against it
still laughing.
