Chapter 9:
Jack looked up from the floor of the cab to Jeff, he had a worried expression on his face.
"Don't worry, he won't find us. I don't know why he won't just leave us alone." Jack whispered to him.
"He will find us, he's never not found anyone he wanted to. I don't even know why we're running," he gave a bitter laugh "we'd be better off trying to explain what really happened."
"What do you mean?" She whispered softly.
"What Riddick wants Riddick gets." He snarled out angrily.
"And what does Riddick want?" She asked quietly, fearing the answer screaming out in her head.
Jeff looked at her, searching her face, oh she knew, she just didn't want to admit it, it was written all over her face. He gave her a small knowing smirk. It was all she needed to see. He turned back to the window.
"Oh god." She whispered so softly Jeff barely heard it. "What, what does he want with me?" She stammered out almost as softly.
Jeff looked out the window bitterly, what indeed did Riddick want with her. Actually the question was more along the lines of why her.
"He wants you, totally, body, mind, heart and soul. He wants to own you." He said the last part and turned to face her, waiting for her reaction. He wasn't disappointed.
"Why? Why me? Why not Chole? Anyone else besides me?" She asked shakily.
Jeff laughed, little did she know. "He had Chole. And you can ask her yourself about that, trust me, you'll have the chance. He'll win, he always does. And I don't know why you, maybe something to do with your past. I just don't know."
She sat quietly for a moment. He wanted more than anything to hold her and tell her that it would all be fine, that it'd all work out. But he couldn't lie to her. Not now, not ever. He was pretty damn sure that the next time they saw Richard B. Riddick, one of them wouldn't come out of that conference alive.
"Why? Tell me why?" She asked suddenly drawing him out of his thoughts.
"Why what?" He asked confused.
"Why are we running, if he's just going to catch us, why bother running?" She was angry, she could feel the blood pumping through her body, her vision was going slightly red. Why the fuck could he just leave her be.
"Because, it might just buy us some time. Because we could end up running for years before he found us. And because, I don't want to die right now." He said the last part quietly, almost to himself.
"What do you mean. Is he going to kill you? OH god Jeff." She whispered quietly. "I am so sorry."
Jeff laughed quietly, he most certainly did not want to die, not now, not for along time yet.
Okay! I'm sorry that took so long to get out. I'm taking extra class, and thus my schedule is hell, so I don't have a lot of time to write. But! I should have the next chapter out soon! And it's bound to be good! Thanks for all the great reviews!!!
