Chapter 16: Deceit
"You gotta be fucking kidding me," Riddick said in disbelief, he had gotten up suddenly
sending his chair crashing to the floor.
"This is no joke, Riddick, I'm serious."
"And what makes you think I'll trust you?"
"You shouldn't, the minute you slip…I'll be there to make sure you don't get
back up," Kane said with a smile.
"Not if you fuck up first."
"So it's a deal?"
Kane extended his hand and Riddick put his left hand out to shake his, but at
the last minute gave Kane a right upper cut that sent him flying in the air to
the wall.
"Don't fuck with me Kane, that was a warning, next time you won't be so lucky."
Riddick turned on his heels and walked out of the room. Kane slowly got up,
rubbing his chin, and turned to Helos.
"Keep an eye on him, I don't want him starting shit."
Helos nodded and walked out of the room to go track down Riddick.
Kane sat back down at the table and motioned for Kahn to join him, they talked
for a long time, making plans and ideas, and finally came to a crucial decision
that neither one wanted to carry out.
"We need to kill Riddick," Kahn said abruptly, "he's not as stupid as we
thought he would be and those fucking robots didn't do their job."
"Yeah I know, but do you think he bought all that shit I told him?" Kane
questioned.
"I don't know man, all the more reason to ghost his ass, but if he finds out
the truth we're all fucked."
"I just don't know why that fucking general couldn't do this shit himself. He
fucking sends us those P.O.S. prototypes and look what the fuck happens, I
mean, if he's such a fucking threat why not just fry him or something…Ya know
one of those mindless droids they be making now."
"Hey man, I know just as much as you do Kane, but if he finds out what's really
beyond those fucking walls and under the colonies, you can bet were going to
get fucked up the ass ten ways from Sunday…We need to call in some
reinforcements…these workers just ain't going to cut it against him."
"I know, I know, do you think we should call Drayco? Ask him to get some
special ops to do a 'garbage run' and clean the shit up?"
"ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID!!! That means we'd be handing our asses over to Lycon
on a silver platter, and I sure as hell aint going down for this bull shit."
"Alright Kahn, chill the fuck out, if not them who?"
With a sinister smile Kahn looked dead straight at Kane.
"I got it covered."
As Kane and Kahn continued to discuss their plans to save their own asses and
their dirty business, there in the shadows out of sight of the men, two silver
orbs gleamed in the darkness.
