After weeks aboard the small skiff that saved there their lives, on that unnamed planet of Death, Jack, Riddick and Imam had finally been picked up by a merchant vessel. The crew of the vessel didn't really care who they were, as long they didn't look to too closely at the cargo they were carrying. Riddick wanted to use this to their advantage. Imam on the other hand was reluctant too.

"They're shipping illegal goods, Imam, they don't give a shit about right and wrong, they just want the money." Riddick said.

"True, my son, but can we in good faith use this against them?" Imam said with his thick accent. Riddick and Imam stared at each other. Each waiting for the other to back down.

"Hell, yes we use it against them, this is survival of the fittest Imam; besides they would probably try something anyway." Jack said as she began to blush under the wide-eyed stare Imam directed towards her.

"The girl is right; she is willing to do it. " Riddick smiled "Aren't you always preaching about the innocence of children? Well this child thinks it is a good idea."

"Well, yes..." Imam began still perplexed by Jack's sudden comments.

"I AM NOT A CHILD" an enraged Jack says, she is bright red and visibly shaking in anger. "I CAN NEVER BE A CHILD." Jack says as she clenches and unclenches her fists. Before either of the men can respond Jack whirled from the room as the door whooshed closed behind her.

"Allah, I have never seen her so angry. She does not seem like a child who could know such anger." Imam whispers still in shock of seeing Jack displaying such emotion.

During the weeks aboard the skiff Jack had been quiet and shy, never really revealing her emotions, but always curious about Imam and Riddick's lives. She never really offered any knowledge about her own, but then again neither did Riddick. Both men stared at the door which Jack had recently run through. Imam's face showing shock and confusion. Riddick's face was stolid as ever, but the glint in his eyes had the look of a lion who had just got a sniff of it's prey.
