Vendetta
Chapter 7
Riddick was out walking the gloomy streets. Searching. Searching for something to distract his mind. He heard a girl scream in the ally. Instantly he thought it was Jack, but then remembered she was safe in their apartment. Their apartment.
He figured he might as well check it out. Go kill some sick fuck who got off on torturing and killing young girls. He could use a good kill.
He swiftly stepped into the ally. A man about mid Thirties was hovered over a girl no older then Fifteen. The man had a bloody knife in his right hand. He began to mutter things to the girl. He didn't notice Riddick. The girl saw him, hope gleaming in her eyes.
In a quick swoop Riddick slashed the mans back. He let out a cry and rolled off the girl and onto his bloody back. Riddick glanced over the girl. She was traumatized with terror. Cuts, slashes, blood and bruises covered her naked body. He shook his head and stared back at the man on the ground, a puddle of blood forming around him. He stared at the man for another moment then went in for the kill.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jack casually walked down the eerie streets towards the motel. Taking note of all the eyes watching her. She didn't notice that eyes that followed her all the way to the motel.
Jack entered the small motel room. She looked around then locked the door.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Riddick felt better now that he had killed something. He felt better now that he had buried his 'feelings' back where they belong. Now he was hungry. That made him think of Jack again. Maybe she was hungry too. He decided to but some takeout and bring it back to their apartment.
Riddick walked in the apartment and abruptly stopped. Something was wrong. He couldn't sense Jacks scent in the room. "Jack?" Riddick stomped around the apartment more and more angry. "Jack, you didn't leave did you?" He entered the kitchen where he found the note.
'Hey Riddick,
Don't worry I'm fine
Didn't want to wait for you so I went to the Shang-hi hotel to call Jimmy
Don't wait up
Jack
P.S. Don't come looking for me, leave me alone!'
"Damn it Jack." Riddick read over the note again. "Well Jack, if you didn't want me to find you, you wouldn't have told me where you were going."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jack leaned against the door for a while, happy to be safe in the room all by herself. She put her bags on the bed and went into the bathroom. She was checking for holes. In neighbourhoods like these, perverted motel owners drill peep holes. After searching she only found one in the shower and plugged with toothpaste.
Before she called jimmy she decided to take another shower. She liked to be clean. She turned the hot water on full and took one more look around the room before getting in.
She was nearly finished her shower when she herd the front door get kicked open. She jumped at the sound then realized it was probably just Riddick. "Damn him." She finished her shower, dried off, got dressed and stepped out of the bathroom.
The door was wide open, but no one was in the room. An icy wind blew in through the door. She shivered then moved to close the door.
In an instant a hand was covering her mouth, another holding her stomach against the person grabbing her. She was then pinned between her captive and the wall. She could tell the person was male and not Riddick. That made her a little nervous..
The mans head moved closer to hers. His hot breath agitating her. " 'ello lil'bit." She recognized that dirty, low, British accent. The man released her.
It was Jimmy. She slowly turned around and was met by his emerald green eyes. Short hair, goatee, tall and muscular, he was almost cute. "Jimmy Rough." Jack stayed calm and looked at him slyly. "If I knew you were coming, I would have cleaned the place up a bit. What are you doing here."
"Came to see ya." He grinned. He was planning something.
"Your note said to call you. I was just about to." Jack sat down on the bed.
"I gave you that note two days ago. Thought you might 'ave shipped off on me.
"No. Of course not. I was just feeling a little under the weather. It took me a few days to recover and get to my locker."
"You could'a told me." Jimmy moved close to Jack and brushed some hair out of her face. "I could'a 'elped ya."
"It's ok, I'm fine now."
"Good cause," He sat beside her and put his arm around her. "Good cause I've got a very important job for you."
"Oh? And what would that be?" She shifted so she could see Jimmy better. His grip around her didn't get any looser.
"Come to the factory, then I'll tell ya the job."
"Is the job in the factory?" She'd never worked in the factory before and didn't want to. She new about some of the things that went on in there and didn't want any part of it.
"Yah, but don't worry, its nothin' hard. Come on." He slapped her leg and stood up.
"Now?" What about Riddick?
"Yah, come on." He grabbed her and yanked her up into his embrace. "I don't bite, and neither does the factory. We have a dead line to make. Lets go."
"Um…" She had to think of something. "Ok…I just have to…get some of my stuff out of the bathroom."
"Alright love take ya time."
Jack picked up her hand bag and went into the bathroom. She shoved everything into her bag. She took out one of her lipsticks and left a note for Riddick on the shower door.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Riddick just finished threatening the motel manager when a key was dropped into his hand. "Thank you." He gave the manger a sly grin then proceeded to Jacks room.
He opened the door only to find the small room empty. "Damn it Jack!" He searched the motel room stopping in the bathroom. In rosy red lipstick were the words 'Gone to Jimmy's factory' on the shower door.
Now he had to get her out of the factory. That would be hard. Riddick knew a lot about the factory. He had been there before. He made a few deals with Jimmy a long time ago.
He hated to admit it, but he was going to need help. Guards and their weapons guarded every foot of that place. There were only two people he knew that had broken in and gotten out of Jimmy's factory alive.
First he would try to find an old friend named Billy Blaine.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So what do ya think of my factory?" Jimmy was walking a little ahead of Jack on a big metal bridge that passed over a big room.
Jack could see people loading and unloading from trucks labelled 'Ech-co'. "It's nice." She stared at one of the workers below. He was staring back at her and tripped over a box.
"Don't worry." Jimmy grinned. "It aint all like this." He opened a door at the end of the bridge and signalled foe her to go in.
Jack was now in a long hallway, like one you would see on a ship. Silver doors with glowing lights over top of them blinked at her as Jimmy pushed her forward. "So now that we're here, are you going to tell me my job."
"Not yet." He walked faster to get in front of her. "Patients pet."
'Blee Blee Bleeeep buzzzzzzzzz.' Jimmy s pocket came alive. He reached in his pocket and pulled out a cell phone. "What?" He sounded angry at whoever would be calling him now. "What!? OK…uh-huh alright." He put the cell phone back in his pocket.
He sighed and put his hands on Jacks shoulders. "I have some urgent business to take care of." He stared deep into her eyes. "Soo." He put his thumb on a little pad beside the door. "Why don't you just wait here. I'll be back soon."
"Cant I just explore the factory?"
"My factories a dangerous place. I wouldn't want you to get hurt." He pushed her inside the door." Half an hour." He closed the door and Jack herd it lock.
