Word spreads fast, thanks to Shaza and everyone now knows that Rynn is not just another passanger but another killer on board. How could they have missed that? You can credit Riddick for that. With his help she has picked up a few things but the most important thing is that no one knows their an item, yet. Rynn explained and they believed her when she told them that she killed that passanger, thinking it was Riddick. Johns decided to let her walk free, just keeping an eye on her. Thinking she isn't as dangerous as Riddick.
Speaking of Riddick he's sitting in a chair, head down, his arms out to his sides, chained. Rynn stays hidden in the shadows, ready to approach Riddick when she sees Caroline storm in and start grilling him with questions. Giving him the third degree.
"So where's the body?"
Nothing from Riddick.
"Well do you want to tell me about the sounds?"
She might as well be talking to a wall.
"Look you told Johns you heard something." Caroline was loosing her patience. "That's fine. If you don't want to talk to me that's your choice but just so you know." A slight pause. "There is a debate right now as to wether we should just leave you hear to die." When Caroline turns her back to leave he finally speaks. Ready to fuck with her mind.
"You mean the whispers?" He ghostly muses in his deep, gravely, baratone voice.
Caroline stops and turns to look at him slowly. She is intrigued. "What whispers?"
Riddick rose his voice a bit more. "The ones telling me to go for the sweet spot just to the left of the spine. Fourth lumbar down. The abdominal aorta. It's a metallic taste, human blood, copperish. But if you cut it with a peppermint snap that all goes away-"
"Knock it off!" Caroline demands. "You wanna shoot me with the truth now?"
Riddick tilts his head, his eyes closed. "All you people are so scared of me. Most days I take that as a compliment. But it ain't me you gotta worry about now."
"Show me your eyes, Riddick."
Rynn is enjoying this from the shadows. She sees a small smirk play across Riddick's face.
"You'd have to come a lot closer for that..."
She couldn't contain her sick smile anymore. She knows what's going to happen next.
Caroline takes a small step closer to him.
Riddick lightly growls. "Closer..."
Caroline does while wiping her palm on her pants from her sweating from uneasiness and intimidation that radiates from Riddick. When Riddick is done baiting her he lurches up out of his chair and towards Caroline as far as his chains will allow. He opens his eyes in a flash and Caroline, for the first time, sees those famous bluish shined eyes of his. She is speechless and a little frightened. She should be.
Out of the corner of Rynn's eye she sees Jack come down the steps. She is standing in front of her and the kid doesn't even notice.
"Where the hell can I get eyes like that?" Jack is too infatuated, mesmerized with Riddick.
Riddick looks to Jack, seeing Rynn in the processs. He gives a smirk to her and proceeds to tell the famous tell of how you get shined eyes. "You gotta kill a few people..."
"Kay. I can do it." Jack said with absolute confidence.
Riddick's attention goes back to Caroline and stares her down, holding her gaze, while informing them the rest. "Than you get sent to a slam, where they tell you you'll never see daylight again. Dig up a doc and pay him twenty menthol kools to do a surgical shine job on your eyeballs."
"So you can see who's sneaking up on you in the dark?"
Smart kid.
Riddick looked back over at Jack with a proud smile, showing off those razor sharp teeth. "Exactly."
"Leave!" Caroline demands. When Jack doesn't. She says more camly. "Leave." That works but the kid doesn't want to.
Rynn could have easily killed the kid. But had no desire to.
"Cute kid." Riddick sits back down addressing Caroline again. "Did I kill a few people? Sure." More than a few. "Did I kill, Zeke? No. You got the wrong killer."
"He's not in the hole! We looked-"
"Look deeper."
While Caroline and the others go to look for Zeke again Rynn finally gets some much needed alone time with Riddick. An evil smirk slowly turnes into a full blown snarl as she makes her way closer.
