Chapter 14
Riddick stopped outside the Captain's office and his brow furrowed as his defenses and instincts kicked in. A little part of him was saying 'don't go in'. He contemplated it for a second but ignored it, if Derek gave him any trouble Riddick'll take him down a peg...or five. He pressed the button on the consul and the door slid open, he stepped inside and immediately leaned back to avoid a baton attack from the side. He elbowed the guy in the face and felt the nose break, blood blossoming. Another guy attacked from the other side and Riddick grabbed his arm, twisting it so the baton fell out of his fingers. He grabbed his neck and brought his knee up and the face down, bashing it against his knee and breaking the arm in the process. The man fell to the floor unconscious.
There was a yell and he looked seeing a man charging at him, he stepped to the side, grabbing the back of the guy's neck and slamming him into the door face first. Broken-Nose was on his knees and going for his stunner, but a kick to the head put him out of commission. There was a thump on the back of his head and he fell to his knees with a grunt. His goggles were whipped off and he grunted again as bright light glared into his light sensitive eyes, blinding him. He reached back and grabbed the shirt of the guy behind him, throwing him over his shoulder. The butt of a gun hit his cheek, rocking his head to the side and he made a grab for the gun but was hit again from the other side, knocking him down.
"That's it." he said and leapt up, grabbing the gun and pushing it back, breaking the carriers nose, jerking it out of his hand. Going by sound of the other guy's breathing only, he fired and heard a body hit the ground, the smell of lots of fresh blood flooding the room. Something hit between his shoulders, forcing him to his knees again and the gun was pulled out of his grasp, a fist coming across and hitting his cheek. He had tried to block it but his wrists had been bound behind his back, he pulled at the restraints with no effect.
"Lights 10 percent." He heard Derek say and the lights dimmed.
"Fuck." Riddick said, guards from Butcher Bay filled the room. He tried to get to his feet but was forced back to his knees again by a baton between the shoulders.
"You put up quite a fight Riddick, I'll give you that much." Derek said and Riddick growled at him. He came closer and went to one knee. "Being in a romantic relationship with my daughter I could accept, you made her happy, far more happy than she has been in years." he went to his feet and backed up. "But you shouldn't have gotten her pregnant." Derek said and Riddick's eyes widened.
Pregnant? He thought right before the butt of a rifle came across his face and darkness claimed him.
