Cut to the Chase—Rush (4:49)
Pitch Black/Firefly
The Warrior and the Witch
Riddick
They had to keep going. As fast as they could manage it. It was the only way they'd all make it and he was determined that they would. Jayne, Jack, Mal, River and he would make it off of this go se planet. He wasn't so much concerned with the others though he'd help Imam if the man needed it.
He could hear River humming something as she ran with one arm around Jayne. The wound on her back was still bleeding sluggishly but he couldn't smell any fear on her. Jayne's limping run was slowing the pair down but Riddick knew that there was no way River would leave without him. She'd die before allowing that to happen. Feng li woman, he thought to her and was rewarded with her musical giggle.
"We're not gonna make it," Fry gasped out from just ahead of him. She stopped abruptly and glared at the space in front of her.
Mal stopped for a moment beside her and shook his head at her. "You ain't," he agreed. "But we ain't stoppin' jes cuz yer tired. You go on an' fin' someplace to hole up and iffen we remember we'll get some more light and come back fer ya. But no promises." He smirked and then ran on.
Riddick nearly ran right over her before she jumped out of the way. "I'd listen to the man was I you, Fry. He don't lie…mostly. Just keep running." He was amused to note that the cadence of his words seemed to match the tune River was humming. "Just keep running."
