Chapter Four

I knew that I couldn't go back with Riddick, but I didn't have anywhere to go. I needed to tell Imam about what happened. Didn't know exactly how he was going to act but I had tell him. I dialed his number and for a minute I was going to hang up but Imam answered before I had the chance to.

"Hello." said a familiar voice.

"Hey Imam, it's Jack."

"Oh hello my child, it's been awhile. Is everything okay?"

"Yeah why do you say that?"

"Well, you calling from a pay unit and you look as if you just woke." I pat my hair down.

"Well I was wondering if you would like some company in New Mecca?"

"Oh of coarse child, it would be wonderful. Will Mr. Riddick be accompanying you?"

"No! He's extremely busy and a."

"You are a horribly bad liar Jack. Why don't you tell me what's wrong." I look down and try to think of away to put it.

"Imam, I'm in trouble."

"What is it?"

"I. I'm perganet." To my surprise he didn't yell or call me names he just stood there and had this look on his face as if he wasn't surprised but wasn't too happy about it.

"I can only assume that it's Mr. Riddick's child." I look down in disgust; I'm completely ashamed of myself.

"Imam, please help me. I got to get off this planet soon."

"I'll send you a ticket tomorrow, Mr. Riddick won't be knowing that you are coming correct?"

"Yes, I'll explain what happened when I get there. I have to go, Riddick might be looking for me. Also, when you buy the ticket use the name Audrey Black. That's my really name and hopefully Riddick won't know. Love you Imam."

"I love you also very much to my child, may Allah be with you."

"Bye, I'll call you from Lana's."

"Bye." The connection disconnected. I got on my bike and rode to Lana's. When I got there Lana was a bit surprised.

"Hey, what ya doin here?"

"Can I come in?"

"Of course." She moves out of the way and leads me to the living room; her mom's there watching TV and knitting.

"Hello Mrs. Matters."

"Why hello Jackie, how are you?"

"I've been better." she gets a concerned look on her face. Since the time Lana and me first met I always felt this connection with her Mom. She was like a second mom; she always treated me as if I were one of her own. I could tell her everything and she wouldn't judge me.

"What happened?"

"Well, Richard cheated on me. I went home earlier to go and wait for him to come so I could tell him I was pregnant."

"Pregnant Jackie!" she cut me off.

"Yes, and when I got there he was with another woman having.sex."

"Oh my dear I'm so sorry. What are you going to do?"

"Well, I'm gonna move to New Mecca for awhile and then move somewhere else. I figure Richard will know that's the place I'll go to first. Can I stay here until I get my stuff and go to New Mecca?"

"Sure honey, does he know where we live?"

"I doubt it, he doesn't know any of my friends. Thank god, but if he does come, I'm gonna have to leave soon. This might sound weird, but I don't want Richard hurting any of you."

"What, has Richard ever hurt you Jackie?" Lana said walking up behind me and putting a hand on my shoulder.

"No, but trust me, he isn't someone you want to make mad."

"When are you planning on getting your stuff?"

"I have to get him out of the house first, that won't be that hard. I've already figured out how. Then that's that, I'll leave."

"Well, I guess, I should schedule an appointment to get you checked out."

"Just don't use my name, I figure that Riddick will try to find where I am by searching my name."

"I'll just tell them you're my daughter, we are like family anyway so it's isn't to far from a lie." I go up to Lana's mom and give her a tight hug.
