"Captain, we're docked." Aaron looked to Johns.

"Good, go have some fun boys. Try not to kill anyone." His crew nearly flew off the ship. Ajay was a lawless planet, riddled with brothels and crack houses. The only time the inhabitants of this world really got along was when they would periodically ban together to beat whatever force the government sent to try to force them to join the Alliance. Johns smiled to himself. God it was good to be home. He breathed in the air as he stepped off the ship and into the busy dock, heading directly for his favorite brothel. Time to let off some steam.

Jack knew they had landed, had even hacked into the computer system through the vidscreen in her room. She knew there was basically no one on the ship. Even the captain was gone. Where they stupid? Apparently not, Jack's hope turned as she saw four heavily armed guards outside of her door. She swallowed nervously. Two she might be able to take on, but not four very large men. Jack looked around for another solution. She had to get out of here, Riddick wouldn't help her this time. She would have to rescue herself. She went into the bathroom, there had to be some sort of exhaust in here. Nothing.

Walking back into her room, she inspected the ceiling closely. Still, nothing. Leaning against the bookcase, Jack almost feel over when it was pushed back. Why wouldn't it be up against the wall? She pulled it aside and a wide grin broke over her face. An exhaust vent. It wasn't very big and for once, Jack was happy for her small frame as she started on the bolts with a shiv she had fashioned out of metal from the bathroom. She didn't know how much time she had, not that it mattered at this point. She was going to get the hell out of here as quickly as she could.

Jack had been running for at least fifteen minutes, she was at least a mile and a half away from the shipping docks by now. She had been here before, when she was much younger, a few months before the Hunter-Gratzner. It was the worst place to be for a young girl, especially one who was alone. She had to keep running. Maybe if she could get to a phone, she could call for help. Jack slowed her pace at that thought. Who would she call? Her friends? Who knew basically nothing off of Hellion, they would think she was joking. Imam and Sita were gone. Who would help her? She was wanted by the government, for god's sake. The only person who could help her was Riddick. And he had left her years ago. Not like I even know where to reach him…Jack sighed inwardly, slumping her shoulder into the rain.

A second was all it had taken. Strong arms reached out from the shadows and grabbed her, wrapping an arm around her wait and another covered her mouth as they dragged her, kicking and flailing, into an alley.

"Jack! You open this goddamn door!" Johns slammed his fist into the metal, leaving a dent where it had connected. "Aaron, override the lock! NOW!" he was shouting now, his face almost red, his eyes a bright, angry blue.

The boy hurried to do as he said and within a moment, the door slid open. "Jack! What the fuck-" Johns was screaming at an empty room. The crew behind him slowly began to back away. They had seen him angry but this was different. He was seething anger. Slowly, he turned around and walked out of the room. He was going to tear this whole god damn planet apart until he found her. And when he did, he was going to beat her to within an inch of her life.
