Riddick was sprawled on the couch. It was really quite comfortable. He heard keys in the door and peeked his head over the back of the couch. She was still beautiful. She didn't look like Carolyn so much anymore. There was no proud tilt to her chin now.
Kalena came in the door and tossed her purse on the couch before heading straight to the kitchen. She turned on the light and searched for something to eat. She hadn't had an appetite for several days, but now she was ravenous. It was long after she usually forced some dinner down her throat.
She has just pulling some bread out of the fridge when there was a knock at the door. She took her gun out of her side holster and checked it. Loaded, all safeties off. She walked through the living room and stubbed her toe on the coffee table. Today just wasn't her day.
"Damn," she swore and moved to the door to look out the peephole and turn on a light. It was just Captain Russel. Probably here to check up on her. For all the menace the man put forward, he was a teddy bear on the inside. Kalena heard the clank of her keys and then a thud as her purse fell off the couch. The Captain knocked again. "Kalena."
Kalena froze. His voice was just as she remembered it. He rolled her name off of his tongue like it was the most important word in the world. "Are you happy to see me?" Riddick's chest came up against her back and his right hand slid down her arm and his left encircled her waist. Surprisingly, he didn't take the gun away from her, just molded his hand over hers. "Open the door. It's rude to keep company waiting."
Shaking, she reached out with her left hand to the doorknob and opened it. "Kalena, what…" Then he stopped. Riddick kept the gun in their hands trained between Russel's eyes.
"Come in, sir. Come in. Who is this, Kalena?" She felt something hard on her stomach and looked down. He had taken the shiv out of her purse and was pressing it against her. Riddick noticed her distraction and said: "Do you think of me every time you see this? I hope so. Now who's your friend?"
"This is my Captain on the force," she could only whisper for her fear.
"Say good-bye to him." He whispered this into her ear, so only she could hear. Kalena felt his finger slowly squeezing hers down on the trigger. Tears filled her eyes and she tried to fight against him but her strength was nothing when compared to his. The blast was a loud one and when her fingers loosened on the gun, Riddick let her drop it. She felt dizzy and would have fallen if he hadn't been holding her up. She closed her eyes and almost fainted.
He took her chin in his hand and gently forced her to look at the body. "Let me explain your situation. Your bullet is in the good ole' Captain's head. Your fingerprints are the only one's on the gun. What jury wouldn't convict you? And your being a cop would just make it so much worse. I can see the headlines now." He waved a hand in front of her face showing her the shiv, which stopped her struggling against him. "Crazed cop kills superior. It'll be great. So you see, now you're just like me. How long do you think it will take until they find the body and start to search for you?" He leaned over to whisper in her ear again. Pressed against Riddick as she was, Kalena could feel his arousal. Whether it was from her close proximity or the fact that he had just killed someone, she would never know. "I came here to kill you, Kalena. But this is better."
Again, he waved the shiv in front of her face. "I should get this changed. It just doesn't suit you anymore." His laughter echoed in her ears.
"Do you know what they do to women in the Slam?" His hands wrapped tightly around her waist and slowly moved up to her breasts.
"Fuck you, Riddick." Kalena renewed her struggles, kicking and biting whatever came into range. It did no good, and served to only arouse him further. Kalena could feel herself going numb and recognized the symptoms of shock.
"That's exactly right, Kalena." He was practically purring in her ear. He slowly licked the back of her neck. "Do you know what I'm going to do to you?" And in that moment she did.
