Vendetta
Chapter 3
Riddick got off the bed and stalked over to the door. He opened the door and Cabos and three others ran into the room. Cabos closing the door behind her. Cabos looked at Riddick then to Jack who's hands were still in a pinned looking position above her head, her chest breathing hard. Jack lifted onto her elbows, a sly grin crossed her face and she lifted an eyebrow.
"What's up guys?" Riddick broke Cabous' stare.
"There's a hostile and friends in a mattress warehouse down the road. Three. One at the entrance, one in the highest room and one began to follow us, but don't worry we lost him."
Riddick sat on the bed in silence.
"We need your help Riddick. You're the best fighter we have right now."
He looked back at Jack who's face was stoic. "Fine." He stood up and went to the door and opened it. "I gotta pee, so you guys go and I'll catch up." Everyone left except Cabos.
"But-" She began.
"I'll be out in a minute. Cant I piss in peace? Go, I'll catch up."
She didn't want to fight him in that tone. So she left, taking a quick glance at Jack who smirked at her again as she went out the door.
Riddick closed the door and leaned his back against the door. His right hand massaging the two day old stubble on his chin.
"You lied to me." Jack sat up on the bed.
"Your talking now." He looked over to her.
"You said Cabos was seeing that guy."
"Yah, she is."
"Well then she's not over you."
"Oh yah?" He lifted a curious eyebrow at her.
"Yup. She looked pretty angry and hurt looking at me, lying on this bed. Hands like they'd just been pinned, panting." Her voice changed from tease to curious fear. ":You don't still love her do you?"
"I never loved her. We just went out a few times. I don't know what love is." He said boldly.
"Fine…do you still like her?"
"Not really."
"Hmm."
"Anyway, I have to go to work now. Will you still be here when I get back?"
"I don't know…Maybe."
"I need you to be here. We need to talk. So please be here." His fists clenched.
"Wow." Jack got up and walked in front of him, staring up at his gaze. "That must have taken a lot. A murderer saying things like, 'I need you' and 'please'."
Riddick looked away then back at her rolling his eyes.
"Don't worry. I'll be here. Unless I'm kidnapped or killed.
He laughed his deep wispy laugh then gave her a hug. Then he left.
