Vendetta
Chapter 12
"Jack Where did you go?!" Riddick stopped and tried to log onto her scent. It didn't work. He began walking again.
"Riddick wait!" The Queen came up behind him.
He stopped to look at her. "Have you seen Jack?"
"No, but I know my way around remember? I can help"
"No, this is your fault."
"My fault?" She looked really hurt.
"Yes, you started stupid arguments." He started walking again, but was forced back by the Queen.
"No, I didn't! I was-"
"Yes you did. Talking about miscellaneous things to…stall. Your stalling us aren't you? You sold us out!" Now he looked mad. He took a step forward, making the Queen step closer to the wall.
"What no I didn't!" She sounded extremely offended, and this time she actually was.
"I never new Lady Spade was a sell out." he tilted his head slightly.
"I am not a sell out!" She moved toward him.
"You sold out. Jimmy paid us to stall us didn't he?"
"No, he paid me to stall you. You paid me to get Jack out of here. I'm just doing what I got paid to do."
"I paid you to get me and Jack out."
"Oh well."
"Oh well? Then you don't get paid as much."
"Isn't it more important that she be alive and well instead of you?"
"Yah, but I want to be alive with her."
"Well you cant always get what you want. You know more then anyone else it doesn't matter what you want, its what you need and have to do."
"It's all about the money with you isn't it?"
"Not just the money. The adventure, the adrenaline rush and I'm getting a hacker out of this."
"What makes you think she'd help you after I'm dead, If I'm killed?"
"Shed have no choice Riddick. I'd tell her I supposedly tried to help you and saved her life."
"She's not a kid you know." He leaned against the wall. "She's smarter then you think and will get out of your grasp. And what do you plan to do if I live?" He crossed his arms.
"Stick to the original plan. Get both of you out of here, get Jack to hack my program the never see either of you again."
"You think if I live through this I'm gunna let you take Jack?"
"Yes, because I'm helping you get her out of here whether you live or not. She owes me either way."
"She owes you?" He moved closer to her I a threatening stance.
"Yah, her life."
"How much is he paying you?"
"What does it matter?"
"I could pay you more."
"What?" She asked sarcastically. "Are you afraid of Jimmy? I thought Riddick wasn't afraid of anything or anyone."
"I'll deal with him later."
"If you leave now, you'll just further piss him off. And if he has to, he'll kill Jack. Let me take Jack out of here, and you go take care of Jimmy and we'll meet up at my place."
Riddick rubbed his hand over his head. "Fine, but you better get Jack out of here, alive."
"Ok." She smiled. They walked there separate ways. "Hey Riddick?"
He stopped but didn't turn around.
"Good luck. See you on the other side."
He raised a hand in a two finger salute and walked off.
"Now to find Jack." The Queen didn't have to look far. She turned the corner and there was Jack. "Suppose you herd all that."
"Yup, and I'm not leaving here without him And you cant stop me!"
"Bu-"
"Shut up. I don't want to hear it." She walked the way Riddick left but didn't get far. Something pricked the back of her neck. She pulled it out and looked at the little dart in her hand. "Bitch." Then she fell to the ground.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Riddick found his way back to the core room. Jimmy was facing a bunch of screens that monitored the entrance.
"Welcome back." Jimmy swivelled around I his chair.
"Fuck you."
"No, you fucked my sister." He stood up.
"That was no reason to try and make me kill her."
"Sure it was. But you couldn't do it anyway."
"But you could."
"Well yah. She was fraternizing with the enemy."
"I wasn't your enemy. Your friend Chase made you think I was cause I let him live when we were in slam."
"You didn't complete any of the jobs I paid you, in advance, to do."
"I really liked your sister so I wasn't about to killed her. And the other job, Chase tried to kill me so I had to kill him."
"Oh, so it's a big misunderstanding then."
"Yah, but I'm still gunna kill you. You kidnapped jack."
"You went behind my back and fooled around with Sessily."
They came closer together, still four feet apart. Riddick pulled out a shiv and Jimmy did the same.
Jimmy made the first move and lunged Shiv first at Riddick. Riddick dodged and countered barley cutting Jimmy's pants. Jimmy attacked again only to have his shiv knocked out of his hand by Riddicks shiv which was also pulled to the ground.
They went at each other like bears, hand to hand, muscle to muscle, viciously staring each other in the eyes. Jimmy spat in Riddicks face and grinned. Riddick let Jimmy come a little closer then kneed him in the stomach. Jimmy backed away, one hand embracing his stomach.
They circled for a second then Riddick went in. He grasped Jimmy's free hand and tried to twist it but Jimmy punched Riddick in the throat with his other hand. Riddick quickly moved back and wheezed a little.
Jimmy didn't notice but Riddick was slowly making them circle closer to the shivs. At the moment One of the shiv was right behind Jimmy and Riddick went for it. He rolled beside Jimmy, who didn't understand what Riddick was doing and moved a little out of the way. It wasn't until he felt the cold breeze whip up his back that he realized what Riddick was up to. Riddick had picked up the shiv and slashed his back. Jimmy fell forward onto the ground.
Riddick took this moment, and put his shiv to Jimmy's neck. "Say hi to Sessily for me." He whispered then slit his throat.
"Good job."
Riddick turned toward the door to see the Queen causally leaning against the doorway. He let Jimmy fall then stood up and headed towards her. "Where's Jack?" He demanded in a low, husky tone, wiping the blood of his shiv onto his pants.
"She's safe, don't worry about her."
"Where's Jack?" He moved closer to threaten her but she had a dagger at his throat before he got close enough.
A sly grin crossed over the corner of his lips. He grabbed it and twirled her around. By that time she had another dagger between his legs, tapping it so he could feel it. The grin reappeared on his face and he twirled her away.
"Where is she?" His voice more clam this time.
"She's fine. She's unconscious, but fine.
"Unconscious?"
"Yah, I had to hit her with a tranquilizer to stop her from rushing in here to distract you."
"One more time Spade, where is she?"
"She's in my truck. It's locked, guarded and on its way to my place. Come on, let us go you and I." She tilted her head and licked her lips as a symbol to go.
"She better be ok."
"God, Riddick, you worry too much."
"Screw you."
"Not right now, we gotta get your girl."
"Are you ever serious?"
"'Course. Now lets vamoose."
"Vamoose?"
