You have been warned.
Kalifa stood in the mess along with Anne who rocked Layne in her arms. He was dressed in black and carried a pulse pistol and several knives. His eyes closed when he saw Jack. "May Allah protect you Jack because any man who comes near you will want to touch you."
"May Allah give me strength to embrace the Adeni." She said plainly and everyone laughed. "Hey, I meant that."
"The Adeni embraced you a long time ago Jack. Do not pretend that little part of you doesn't like to show off." Anne said putting Layne in his bassinet.
She smirked at her. "That's right Jack, shake that ass and you'll get a bite." Riddick smirked smacking her leather clad backside.
"Ready to play my brother?" Who's the better killer…Kalifa said to Riddick handing him one of the hand held Sashas. There were four of them, one for each of them. Jack had modified them to be able to communicate with one another. She had already gotten word from Salim that he had Janis and that they would be going to a techno club called Equinox.
"Let's go." He said grabbing Jack by the hand. "Jack, keep in mind that I'm gonna be watching. So shaking that ass is gonna be distracting for me. If it gets dicey or you can't handle it all you gotta do is say the word."
Jack smiled and put her hand out. In it was a very small ear piece. "Wear this and we can talk to each other. It's a microphone and earpiece all in one. It's one of my many geek ridden gadgets." She said putting it into her ear. You could barely notice it and Riddick did the same.
"Jack, you need to get a hobby." He quipped looking at her.
"You are my hobby babyif haven't you figured that out by now. And may I say you are looking very sexy tonight. Damn, I might just shake my ass just to see how far I could get making you nuts."
"Nuts, now that's a word." Kalifa chimed in as they walked down the gang plank. "This is exactly that."
"Jack." Riddick warned knowing exactly what she meant. "Be good."
"No baby, tonight I'm gonna be very, very naughty." She quipped as Kalifa rolled his eyes.
"Get a room will you!" he said shaking his head.
"We've got one, thank you very much." She told him sticking her tongue out. "Use it every night, sometimes more than once right baby?"
"That's enough you two, let's focus on the plan. Equinox is the staging ground. We can observe and lure them. Roper first. Then Cavanaugh and Metzger then that leaves the Swede." He told them in Arabic so no one would be the wiser.
"Kill or capture?" Kalifa said wondering.
"Silent kills. We don't need this getting messy. Roper is gonna be the easiest. Janis said that he's gonna be there and he's feeling guilty and you use that Jack. Play on his weaknesses. Metzger is his partner in crime and they're usually together. Be careful of him, if something goes wrong, or you want me to help the safe word should be something they won't understand. How about haras? That will let me know that you need help. Otherwise I stay in the back ground. Kalifa will watch for my signal. Get him alone and lead him outside, we'll do the rest. You're just the bait."
"Thanks a lot." She smirked handing him her gun. "Hold onto this. I doubt I'll be able to hide this very well.."
"A lady with a gun and an ass like that, I must have died and gone to heaven." He smirked taking the pistol and holstering it under his coat.
"Whatever makes your dick hard sweet thang. I just love a man who can use his hardware." She quipped getting another eyeball roll from Kalifa.
"I have missed you my friend. I worried for many weeks hoping that you had not come to any harm." Salim told Janis as they walked towards the ship.
"You are safe now and that is all that matters. Jack has told me of the dangers you faced when you were on that ship and I thank Allah he has delivered you to us safely."
"I worried for weeks when I found out the real mission they had in mind. I was not told but I am glad I found out and was able to warn you. Jack told me about Yasmine. I am so sorry that you lost her."
"Yes, but in the process I gained a son and a daughter, and Kalifa has remarried. So Allah in the midst of my pain has blessed me." he said looking into her eyes with a deep fondness.
"Let us go and be safe. I have a feeling your services will be needed before this long night is over."
"Yes," she agreed a sad look on her face, "I do believe you may be right."
Three blocks from the club Jack stopped allowing Kalifa to go in first. Riddick stood next to a wall and looked at her. "You ready Jack?"
"As ready as I'll ever be." She told him holding onto the lapel of his coat. "I love you, no matter what happens."
"Keep your head up, observe everything and everyone and remember the golden rule." He said kissing her neck and then her lips.
She whimpered drinking up his scent and the feel of his hands on her body. "Stick by you when the dying starts. I remember."
"Good girl. Now go and make me proud." He said swatting her ass and watching her smirk walking off.
The club was just as she expected. Nine o'clock had come and gone and she knew that they would be there. She checked her coat and walked to the bar.
"Big guy, they're at the bar, Roper and Metzger and at the table about five feet is the Swede, can't seem to find the old man or Toombs." She said quietly as she went to the bar with a big grin on her face.
A melodic techno beat played and she let herself feel the music.
"I see you kid, go order a drink and get dancing. Can't wait to see you shake that ass." He told her in her ear and she smirked as she walked up to the bartender. "Nice Jack, that shirt really shows off your back, damn fine view from here. Check your six."
"Hey little lady what can I get you?" asked a good looking bartender from behind the bar.
"Valysian Fire Whiskey. I'll take a shot. Need something to get my blood moving. I'm gonna dance." She said loud enough for the men at the bar to hear her. She leaned her ass out and rested her elbows on the bar and smiled. "Gonna let go tonight. Need to have some fun."
"Good Jack that got their attention." Riddick said from the sidelines. "Kalifa is in position at your 8 o'clock."
Roper and Metzger got a look at her and took their time drinking her in. When they watched her down the shot and lick the shot glass shouting, "WAHOO!" and slamming it down Riddick smiled remembering her birthday. "Damn fine whiskey."
She shook her hair out a little and cracked her neck turning and facing the dance floor. The floor was so full of people Riddick would have a hard time finding her once she got into the throng. She eyed a box where dancers stood and looked at him. He nodded his accent and she walked towards one.
On one of the large boxes was a blonde dancing. "You got any room up there for me?"
The leggy blonde pulled her up and Riddick smiled. It was gonna be a fun night to watch. "My name's Candice what's yours?"
"Adeni." Jack said getting a chuckle from Riddick. A song with a pulsing beat came on and Riddick checked their marks for any signs she had their attention.
He watched Jack close her eyes and start to move. Her arms went up and she began to move to the music slowly and Riddick was looking between her and the marks. "You enjoying the view baby?" she said as she moved her hips side to side moving her hands down to the music.
"Oh yeah. You know me, I like to watch. They're on your six right now. Shake that ass baby."
She moved her arms in tandem with her hips grinding to the music and smiling as she saw his silver eyes glint in the darkness. She slapped her cheeks and continued to dance. She snapped her fingers then smacked them again just because she knew he liked it.
"Damn Jack, you try that at home and you're so punished."
"Promises, promises." She said looking up and feeling her torso with her hands. "Jesus, look at the Swede he's fucken huge."
Riddick's eye went to the bar and he couldn't miss him. He dressed in camo pants, combat boots and a black wife beater on. "Focus on Roper. Both him and Metzger are staring. Smile Jack and keep shaking that ass."
Jack turned towards the bar dancing close with the blonde who enjoyed someone else who could dance as well as she could. She stared at Roper for a moment and smiled.
"Man, she just looked at you." Metzger said as Roper stared at Jack. "What body art! DAMN, she's hot."
"She's staring at you Metzger. Not me."
Jack smiled and winked at them slapping her ass and turning back around. "Now if that ain't a fucken invitation I don't know what is."
"Riddick," Jack said turning back towards him. "What if he's not the one who bites?"
"We'll adapt. You need to keep an eye on him. By the way, very hot dancing baby."
"You know you want to fuck me up against that wall don't you?" she said trailing her hand down to her pelvis and rocking.
"Every minute of every day princess." He told her smiling. "I'd lift you and drop you on my cock plunging it real deep."
"Talk dirty to me baby." She quipped as she watched Metzger and Roper move to a table just off the dance floor.
"If I have to." He said as she began to listen to him along with the song. She closed her eyes and smiled with an evil grin.
Sipping their drinks Metzger was definitely getting aroused and so was Roper. She was so beautiful and man could she dance. She was so into dancing he could swear she was getting off. Her lips parted and she licked her lips and both Roper and Metzger had to shift in their seats. She looked down and winked at Roper.
"She wants you man. Go or I will." Metzger said getting antsy.
"Jack he's ready to move." Riddick told her as he watched them from the railing.
"What if it's Metzger? Roper is shy. I can see that and Metzger is the aggressive one." Jack said swinging around so they didn't see her talking.
"Go with it. Remember Haras if you need to don't hesitate to say it. The Swede is doing shots at the bar. Toombs and the old man are there too."
"Stay out of sight. I see Kalifa." She whispered turning back. "Show time baby. I love you."
"Love you too Jack." He said and watched her work.
She smiled and crooked her finger. Roper looked at her and smirked as if to say, me? He shook his head. "No, I'll watch."
"Fine with me, I like it that way. So watch." She said looking towards the railing briefly and cocking her head. "What about you big guy?"
Metzger walked up to the box and grabbed her hips and helped her down. "Big strong man, can you dance as good as you look?"
"Pretty girls like you always like it when we watch." He said while Riddick picked up the conversation. He was furious that he put his hands on Jack but knew it wouldn't be long before he got to kill him.
Keep that shit up asshole, I'll get my chance soon…
"Wanna play? My name's Rani. It means," she started as his hands rested on her hips.
"Princess." He said looking at her breasts when she leaned back. She turned around and faced Riddick who looked as if he wanted to rip the man's balls off. "You've a great ass Rani. Did anyone ever tell you that?"
"On occasion. You dance so well, makes me feel hot and tingly all over." She said leaning against his chest. "It's like fucking standing up, except we still got clothes on."
"I can remedy that baby, just tell me when." He said moving against her. Riddick had his hands fisted at his sides.
"As long as I can get a piece of that one too. Feeling right fiery tonight. Got an itch, I need to scratch. If you know what I mean." She said pointing towards Roper who got an eyeful. She crooked her finger and almost pulled him towards her. "And you both look good enough to eat."
"She's gonna do us both man, get your ass over here." Metzger pleaded.
She looked at Roper and grabbed his arms and pulled her to him, "My name's Rani, what's yours?"
"D-Daniel." He answered. Metzger gave him some room and went over to talk to the Swede. "You're beautiful."
"Thank you. Shy aren't you?" she asked as he tried to dance. "Relax, no one's gonna hurt you. What's the matter?"
Riddick whispered in her ear. "That's a lie Jack, remember he's a fucken merc and he's gonna die tonight. Get on with it."
"Got a lot on my mind." He said as she leaned against him and danced. He put his hands on her waist and felt her skin. It was just as he thought it would feel, soft. "I admire beautiful art and your back is covered. Really nice tattoo."
"So Daniel, what's on your mind?" She said smiling as she leaned to look at him. So young, and nice looking she thought.
Riddick whispered in her ear. "Jack he's a merc, don't get all soft now."
"Let's get a drink shall we Daniel, I'm getting thirsty." She suggested. "Come on, we might want to relax a bit. You look all tense, and that's not good."
She grabbed his hand and walked towards the bar where the Swede, Metzger and the old man stood. Toombs was talking to Cavanaugh and failed to notice her. "Who's the wall in combat boots? You all this big?" she laughed as both Kalifa and Riddick kept a sharp eye out.
"Little lady you'd be surprised how anatomically correct we are." Metzger said smiling and downing a shot.
She laughed loudly and caught The Swede's attention. "Well, look what Roper found, an willing female. I'm impressed."
"Impressed. Hardly a word I would use." Jack quipped staring him down like he was two feet tall. "You need to find your own company. Leave him alone."
"Ballsy too. Damn Roper she's a brave one to say that to me." he said staring down at her. "And be so little."
"Big guys like you don't scare me." she said cocking her head. "The bigger they are, the harder they fall."
He laughed a loud booming chuckle. "She's got balls the size of a bull. Good luck trying to nail her."
"She's offered to nail us both." Metzger said triumphantly.
"Only if you behave." She said winking to the darkness. "One at a time, come on, let's get that party started. You keep trying big guy, maybe you'll get lucky if you go out and buy you some charm."
Jack turned around and he grabbed her wrist. She twisted him so fast he landed on this ass and looked up at her, she took the boot and ground the heel into his crotch. "Better luck next time sweet thang, I made my choice. Now be a good cro-mag and fuck off."
Riddick wanted to kiss her. "Damn Jack. That was fucken amazing. You need to get the out now. Kalifa is already outside."
He was livid looking up at her. No one had dared to touch him let along get the drop on him.
"Come on boys. Let me get my coat." She said pulling on Metzger and Ropers' coats. She had her arm around Roper making sure he came with her and walked towards the coat room.
"What the fuck happened to you?" Toombs said drinking. "Some asshole get the drop you?"
"A little girl. I can't fucken believe it. A 120 pound girl took me down like a professional." He said completely stunned. He sat back on the stool and ordered a drink, a double to wallow in.
Outside Riddick watched Jack walk arm and arm with the two men who looked very intent on a gang bang. "Keep them going, just another block. Remember Metzger is the pro, Roper he's just a kid." Riddick said softly in her ear.
"So," she said to them both, "What brings you to Talos Prime?"
"Business, and a little pleasure." Metzger told her as he grabbed her ass. "Damn you got a fantastic ass. You'd be expensive."
"So I guess you're the charmer and he's the strong silent type? What kind of business?" she asked looking up at Metzger. Daniel continued to stare at her tattoo on the back of her neck.
"We gotta pick up two marks. Why?" he answered as they hit a alley way. "Wanna come back to our ship and party in style?"
"Guys, you go, I don't feel much like partying anymore. This whole business is bad. I'm out." Daniel said going to walk away. "It's wrong. I don't care how much money we'll make. I'm done."
"Where the fuck are you going?" Metzger said putting Jack against a wall and nuzzling her neck.
"I'm done. Go, I don't want anything more to do with getting the marks. I'm out. Have a nice fucken life."
"Hello Daniel. Redemption comes a little late for you my friend." Kalifa said as Roper rounded the corner. Kalifa, who heard everything, waited till he turned was out of sight and knocked him unconscious. He'd get to him later, Metzger was his and Riddick had him in his sights as well.
"I guess it's just you and me baby. Damn you must work out." She said as his sweaty skin was on her. She suppressed a shudder as he talked while he pawed at her.
"So, you were saying about that fucking?" He started looking at her breasts.
"Who's the mark?" she asked looking at him.
"Why you so fucken curious bitch?" He spat as his hand pinned her against the brick. "None of your fucken business."
He spun her around and pushed her against the wall. "Now put up and shut up."
"I'm fucken curious," she said bringing her foot up between his legs and connected with his crotch sending him to his knees. She grabbed him and shoved him to the ground and he watched as she turned around, "cause I'm gonna fucken kill you asshole. No one comes after me and mine. HARAS."
Riddick appeared out of nowhere and Kalifa rounded the corner carrying Roper's unconscious body with him. "Welcome to your nightmare mother fucker."
"Riddick, you slick fuck." Metzger said as Riddick came at him with his two shivs out and ready. He went to grab his pulse pistol and found it wasn't there. "Long time no see fish."
"Looking for this?" she said holding the pistol against his head.
"Fucken tease." He spat and she kicked his head causing him to spit blood. "Fucken skank. Who the fuck are you??"
They heard voices coming towards them and Jack fired the pulse pistol at him, blowing him against the wall. "The name's Jack asshole, and I'm nobody's skank. One down, three to go."
"Damn Jack." Kalifa said putting Roper next to Metzger. "Shit, someone's coming. Get ready to fight Riddick."
"Go for the sweet spot baby." She told him as he threw the tranq gun at her.
"Kalifa, take the old man out. Jack shoot anything that comes at you with the traq gun, if the Swede gets too close, shoot him with the pistol." Riddick said taking his position.
"Where the fuck is Metzger?" Toombs asked coming down the street hitting the spot where the alley met the street.
"Probably fucking her against a dumpster." Cavanaugh said walking. "You smell that?"
"Smells like a pulse weapon's been fired. Fuck!" Toombs said walking a little quicker. "METZGER!"
"Look who we got here?" The Swede said with a hearty bellow as he came from the other side around the corner Kalifa came with Roper, he had Jack by the throat and watch as he picked her up and dangled her by her feet."
He dragged her into the deserted street and toyed with her. "Fucken bitch. I knew I recognized your ass somewhere."
"Well I'll be damned. Hello Jack." Toombs said walking up to her and laughing.
She proceeded to kick him in the nuts sending him to his knees. She pulled up her arm and shot him twice with the tranq gun. The Swede punched her in the stomach making her drop the gun and scream in pain. He laughed and shook her in his big hands.
Before the lights went out, she wheezed, "Hello Harold, how's it hanging?"
She kicked and flailed as Riddick and Kalifa came out of the darkness weapons drawn. "Put her down merc." Riddick warned the glint of steel coming at him.
He dropped her and laughed, "Come on convict, show me what you got."
"Big mistake asshole." Jack croaked taking her knife out.
A single gunshot rang out and Riddick watched as blood sprayed him. He flinched when he realized whose it was.
Not Jack, no GOD NO! NOT JACK!!!!!!
"Riddick?" she said as she looked up and saw her blood on him. Her eyes went wide with fear and she fell to her knees and then face down and the sound of his roar could be heard so loudly that even the sound of the club was non existent.
