Chapter 7:
Chole walked around the ship, she had to tell him, he'd blame Jeff for Jack's death, he was certain. Oh god, how did things get so complicated so fast. She walked up to the control room and sat down next to Scott.
"Everything alright, love?" He asked her in a quiet voice.
He knew what happened to Jack, she told him that night when she got back. She couldn't help it, she was just so upset, Jack had been a beacon, she was an incredible person. She shook her head, she was not going to get into this, not now. Right now she had to find Jeff and warn him.
"No it's not, but I'll have to tell him." She whispered quietly.
Scott looked at Chole again, which him he didn't know, probably both, Jeff and Riddick. God he did not want to be around when Riddick found out about Jack being dead. He shuttered at the thought. For some reason he really couldn't see Jack as dead, it was too weird. She was sent here to live, and yet it kills her. That friend of Riddick will kill him when he finds out.
Jeff sat at the table watching Jack eat quietly, it had only been two months since they had left Riddick's ship, and she was doing better now. He was certain she wasn't cutting herself anymore, and more to the point he asked all the time. Much to the annoyance of Jack.
The COM beeped, and Jack looked at it quickly then back to Jeff. "Expecting a call?"
Jeff looked slightly shocked, "Not at all actually."
Jeff walked over to the COM system and pressed the answer button, Chole's face instantly popped up, she looked slightly scared.
"Jeff, hi, um, look this isn't really a social call. Riddick's fucking pissed, convinced that you and Jack left together and he's coming back to get you and take her back." She gave a quick sigh.
"Huh? What? Whoa, slow down a bit. Riddick is coming back here? When? And to get Jack?" The last part was said with some skeptism.
"Look I know, she dead and he really can't come back for her, but yes, he's coming back, we'll be there in a day or so. Look, just get out of there, and for the love of god cover your tracks well." She sighed again.
Jack stood up slowly and crept up beside Jeff, and looked at Chole. "Um hi, I'm not really dead you know."
Chole looked like she was about to faint, "Oh god, oh thank god! What happened? No, nevermind, we don't have time for that!" She paused and looked around quickly, "Look, I don't really have the time, but just get out of there. Please."
She cut the communication short, god knows if Riddick would know that she had contacted them. But god, Jack was alive, and well. She breathed a sigh of relief, she was alive, she felt like crying again. Although, now this did look really bad, especially if Riddick did find them. Shit.
"So want to tell me why you were calling Jeff?" Riddick loomed in the darkness behind Chole.
Chole stiffened, shit, "Um, what?" playing dumb was defiantly the right thing to do right now.
"You call down to the planet, and your telling me it's for other reasons than warning Jeff and Jack?" He laughed quietly.
Chole shivered, Riddick laughing could be a very bad thing, especially now. Fuck, she was royally and totally fucked.
Thanks for all the reviews! You guys make it worthwhile! And thanks to bubblegirl for the idea! Actually I did plan on having that in here somewhere!
