Chapter 3:
Fuck, he didn't need this, hell, he should just call Imam back and tell him to forget it. He never should have agreed to take Jack, to teach her, he should have just told Imam to find her a fucking doctor for whatever problems Jack had. But he knew he wouldn't do any of that. If it was anyone else he would have laughed in their faces and told them to find another savior, but this wasn't anyone else, this was Jack and Imam. As much as Jack believed that he just abandoned them, it wasn't true. He'd kept in contact with Imam, sent money every month to help look after Jack, and made sure she was alright.
He sighed and ran a hand across his shaved head, there was no point to go on with this, he was going to pick her up, he knew it, Imam knew it, fuck everyone knew it. He was going soft. He growled softly and threw on his black tank top and walked out of his dark room, the lighting in the corridor was only slightly better. Riddick made his way through the small ship up to the main living compartment, it was a fair size kitchen and living room. He could hear two of them in the living room, the other was upstairs at the controls. Better get everyone together, they needed to know that they we're getting a new crew mate, the sooner the better, let everyone get use to the idea.
Riddick paused at the top of the stairs, what the fuck was Jeff doing? Fuck, Jeff, his latest member to the crew, was currently under the belly of the control panel.
"What the fuck do you think your doing?" Riddick demanded. He had the pleasure to see Jeff's head smash against the control panel as he tried to sit up.
"Captain.. Um, hi, you startled me.." Jeff paused as he slid out from under the console rubbing his head.
"So I can see, but what the fuck were you doing to my ship? You know the rules, your not touch my ship." He growled out, he was gonna fucking kill this kid if he did anything to his ship.
"But.. But, Chloe and Scott can.." He stuttered out
"Chloe and Scott haven't broken my ship twice already." Riddick growled out, "If one fucking thing is broken or out of place I'm gonna have you head as a fucking trophy."
Jeff slowly backed away from the console as Riddick stalked towards it, "I didn't have time to do anything."
Riddick turned and stared at Jeff, he was telling the truth, he could smell it, "Next time you want to try something with my ship, get my permission first. Now lets go, I'm calling a meeting."
"When the fuck were you going to tell us?" Chloe demanded "The day we picked her up? Fuck Riddick." Chloe stood up and started to pace, "Did you even use your head when you thought of this, where the hell is she going to stay?"
"The room next to mine."
"The ..room ..next ..to ..yours.." She repeated slowly.
"Yeah, move the shit out of there, it will be perfect."
Chloe sat down and ran a hand through her hair, "I don't like it, but you're the captain, do what you want."
Riddick nodded once at Chloe and then turned to Scott and Jeff, "What do you two think?"
Scott gave a small smile, "I agree with Chloe, you should have told us sooner, but I think it'll be fine."
Jeff grinned, "Finally a new face around here."
"Ok, good, I'm going to move the shit out of that room, and you guys go back to doing what you were doing. You," He said to Jeff, "stay the fuck away from my ship." With that he turned and walked away, leaving the others to talk among themselves. After next week things were going to be very different.
