Dedicated to Angeltear15 thanks for the idea...
Sitting in a lavish adobe building, on leather, four men discussed the Massacre at New Mecca.
"So how much is the payday for the girl?" a gruff voice asked as he looked at the surveillance tape.
"One quarter million." An Arabic translator said nervously as two large old men sat before him. "Mr. Toombs, we understand you have your ways of finding people."
Toombs sat back in his chair not caring a bit that the bottom of his boots faced his prospective employers. He could give a shit about the insult it presented. They had a problem and he had the solution.
"My master asks," he said hesitating, "if you know this man."
Toombs shook his head and laughed, a sick sardonic cackle that disturbed the translator but did not phase the two old men in robes sitting before him.
"Riddick. Richard B. Riddick, convict and murderer. Thought he got ghosted on New Tangier on his way back to Butcher Bay. How much is he worth?" he asked taking a drag on a cigarette.
The translator conferred with the two men and stood back up stammering. "Two million."
"Mother fucker made a mess of your little family didn't he?" Toombs asked, "he's a high priced payday sure, you want him to back to slam or do you have something special in mind?"
A pause then the translator, dressed in deep black and red robes answered visibly sweating. "My master states that what they do with the two of them is not your concern."
Then the older gentleman and more important of the two spoke in perfect English. "We will kill this Riddick and keep the woman for our pleasure. But that is not your concern. The two others and the wife of my son, kill as is your pleasure, they do not concern me. These two must be made an example."
"That'll cost you extra." He contended taking the tape and putting it in his pocket.
"Done."
just a side note: You didn't think I'd make it easy for Jack and Riddick now did you? Plot bunnies are killing me...
I'm evil.... yes ladies, MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
as my buddy Riddick said, (honeymoon phase mind you) "Had to end sometime."
