If there is one thing that you can say about Riddick is that he's huge. Jack knew that all to well. With his massive arms around her she could feel his muscles rippling under his shirt. They were sitting in the kitchen quiet when a knock on the front door roused them from their thoughts. Reluctantly he released her so she could do and answer it. At the door was the New Meccian police and they didn't look to friendly.

"What can I do for you officers?" Jack asked letting them in. Riddick could smell them and they all went into the living room.

"Miss Jack, are you aware that someone fitting your description killed one of our fellow officers last night?" The female officer asked.

"No I am not aware of that."

"Can you account for your ware bouts in the last twenty-four hours?" The male officer asked.

"I went to my classes' yesterday morning which I'm sure my professors have told you then I retired for the evening seeing as I was extremely tire."

"Can anyone besides for the other occupants of the household clarify that for us?"

Riddick had been quiet for the most part of the conversation standing in the door way looking like a death omen for the officers. "I can tell you that she was indeed here all evening."

"Who might you be sir?" The bright eyes female asked finally taking notice of him.

"My name is Rick and I'm a friend of Jacks. We were catching up most of the night before she fell asleep."

"You said we were catching up? Then care to explain why she has cuts all over her body?"

"I was angry with him so we wrestled a little too roughly before I was calmed. He has been gone a long time out of my life." Jack stated standing next to him putting a hand on his arm.

"When did you show up on the planet?"

"I arrived this morning. My ship is in the docking bay a-666."

Jack hid a smirk behind her hand and cleared her throat. The two men in the one female in the room looked down at her.

"I'm rather tired so if you would have a nice evening officers. You have my alibi not that I'm really sure I needed one and have an eye witness. So if you'll excuse me…" She went to the door and held it open a sure indication that they were to leave. The officers got the hint and left the house leaving Riddick and Jack alone in the same room.

His brow rose in her direction and a chuckle escaped his throat. "You sure know the law now don't ya kid?"

"Yeah I've been in the slammer a few times. I know a few things about this and that and how to get away with some things. But I swear to you Riddick I've never killed a fuckin cop."

"I know Jack. You are a convincing little actress though." His chuckle reverberated around the room.

"Yeah well it's not like I'm going to tell them I recently discovered that because I don't have a mate my dreams can turn deadly. Do you REALLY want me in a nut house?"

"That is true. Who would have thought that my little Jack would be such a liar in front of cops?"

"I guess you're just a bad influence on me."

"I had nothing to do with it."

"Riiiiiight… I believe that…"

"Don't try being smart with me kid."

"I'm not a kid."

"To me you a-"

A fist connected with his jaw before he could finish his sentence.

"I AM NOT A KID YOU DUMB FUCK. IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED A KID DOESN'T HAVE TITS! A kid also doesn't go into an underground fight and kill someone either."

Her jaw dropped at her own out burst and Riddick eyes widened slightly before he chuckles. With that declaration of lost innocence she turned from him. She tried to go past him up the stairs but he caught her hand pulling her back against his hard chest. She tried to pull away from him but his grip around her tightened. When she felt him nuzzle into her neck she froze. His warm breath hit her cool skin causing her to shiver. He felt her shake and looked up slowly into her eyes.

"Riddick what are you doin?"

"Smelling you."

"What?" She was highly confused.

"I'm smelling you. You smell a little different from when you were a kid."

"Again I say what?"

"Just shut up." His nose went back into her neck and slowly she relaxed into his embrace. He picked her up from the floor and cradled her in his arms and up to her room.
