So you lookin to get into my soul? Tryin to figure me out? Good luck. Got nothin but a shell. Killin takes a lot out of girl..So I may be a sociopath so what..I may have killed, maimed even terrorized a few. Feel guilty about it? Naah..Just in a days work...Now I've got a pup thinkin shes a better killer than me...funny that...If she only knew...
...
Wiley was grumpy...And grumpy was not good...She sat stunned as she heard the girls final comments...She closed her aching eyes for a moment taking in a deep breath trying to relax.
Killing her right now won't solve anything chill Wiley...Just a little girl...let her think it...be charitable fro once in your life for christsakes
So I'm taking it that Riddick knows ya." Wiley said lowly her voice cracking with disuse.
"Yes." She said quietly. "I've been there." she said with quiet confidence as if that answered everything.
"Been there hm? ." Wiley was getting really bored with the conversation. "Been round a lot lately it seems." She rumbled under her breath.
"You know," she said turning to face Wiley. " I was here first...I'm the one he loves, I'm the one he cried for when I passed." She let the statement hang in the air...
Wilie barked out a laugh..."Kid your kidding me right? Riddick love? Wow...what fairy planet do you live on and when is a good time to visit?..."
Wiley's deep laughter was bubbling out of her like a spring...
"Sociopath and killer mean anything to you?" "Were incapable of love...lust yeah...animal magnetism sure...Love? Not a good god damn in hell..."
Wiley coughed and reached to the bedside table for her ciggs...She pulled one out of the battered container and struck a match on the railing of her bed..She inhaled deeply relishing the way the good tobacco soothed her lungs as only Vestuvians could...She coughed a little more...Her silvered eyes turned back to Jack...
"Don t make the mistake of thinking I'm a kid"...Jack spat at Wiley with venom.
Wiley exhaled slowly and paused for a minute...she sized Jack up again looking her over and then chuckled...
"Thinking and believing in things like love among people like us MAKES you a kid..So sweetheart, Sit back get well and when your ready to play with the big boys come and give me a call..."
Wiley swung her legs over the side of the bed placing her feet on the cold metal floor...She arched her back feeling the ligaments pop one by one and grunted as he unused joints strained under the pressure of her standing...She glared down at the small frame of the girl in the bed next to her... turning she grabbed her goggles on the stand next to her bed...Wiley slid them to the crown of her nose and smiled broadly at Jack...
"Got nothing against you little girl...but don't fuck with me...I wouldn't want Riddick to cry again..." She said in a condescending voice..
"Fuck you Wiley..." jack spit at her...
Wiley smirked at Jack her cigg jutting out of the corner of her wide lips...She leaned over and jerked Jacks arm over the side of the bed. Wiley gave a long drag n her cigg making the cherry glow crimson..She gripped Jacks arm in her hand squeezing it tight enough to turn the already pasty flesh white...Wiley puffed on the cigg once more exhaling the smoke around her face in a cloud...With a deft movement she tugged the cigg from her lips and buried the still burning ember in Jacks creamy flesh with a wide smile on her face..
Jacks wails filled the small room...Wiley turned on her heel and began to walk out the door...as she opened the door Riddicks massive bulk took up the opening...
Wiley looked up straining her neck muscles to see his mirrored eyes...
"Real winner you picked there Riddick." Wiley drawled..."She MUST be the better killer" Wiley walked around a silent Riddick and down the hallway with Jacks cries making plesent music in her ears.
