The streets of New Mecca were mostly deserted at that hour and Riddick's sense of stealth was complimented by Jack's obedience and training. She was fast, she learned his step quickly and they were halfway t the spaceport when he felt someone on their trail.
"Sh." he said stopping as she melted into the wall. He watched two men walking towards the ship he had purchased and he cursed himself for not having his favorite weapon of choice, his two shivs. He had only a pulse weapon that would make too much noise.
A soft hand touched his in the darkness and he felt a familiar bone handled shiv and he turned and smiled an evil toothy grin. That's my girl, thinking on your feet.
"Stay here. Don't move." He ordered and without question she obeyed.
He removed his disguise and walked towards the ship, never once glancing in her direction. He walked leisurely as if he were going to the ship to check on a few things. They had watched him earlier that night remove two bags and knew he would be coming back
He knew that these two men were there to see that he went on alone and he scanned the darkness for others. He didn't and smiled because this would be so easy.
"Can I help you fucks?" he asked standing at the ramp looking at them wanting to laugh.
"Faisal Mohammed wishes you to leave this place, while you still have use of your legs." The larger one said in a menacing tone.
"Really?" he said cocking his head. "And why is that?"
"You covet the Adeni. That is a mistake." The younger one said.
"Really. Tell you what. If you leave now, I won't kill you slowly, I'll just chase you for a few blocks then snap your necks. Hang around, and I'll take my time." He growled letting them see the beast.
Jack had known that Richard B. Riddick was a killer, but she had never, other than on T2, seen him kill. She wanted to shut her eyes, not to see the flurry of movement, the use of the shiv he had given her on T2 or the blood, and it was only when Riddick grabbed her arm did she realize she had not blinked once since the entire melee began.
He killed them. He killed them. She kept saying in her head. But she was alive and he had done it to save her.
"Jack. Open your eyes. They'll send more when they don't come back. MOVE-YOUR-ASS." He said in a low growl.
