Riddick crouched on the ledge of a building watching a man walk down the street. He wore a pair of steel toed boots that made a distinct sound every time he took a step. Riddick watched him following a girl. He rushed up behind her putting one hand over her mouth and swinging the other around her waist pulling her into the nearest alley with no way out. The man rushed the girl sitting on her chest holding her arms down with his boots.
Riddick jumped from the ledge walking towards the man pulling his shiv from his belt. Coming up behind the man, setting his shiv to his throat, making him stand up.
"Run." Riddick said looking at the girl. Scaring her even more she ran past the two men and out of the alley. Taking another step towards the man putting his lips an inch away from his ear. "You hurt her." He said with anger in his voice. Riddick took the shiv away from his throat and disappeared in the dark alley. "You will pay." Riddick said moving around the man, watching him squirm in the dark. The man looked around trying to find him.
"I didn't hurt anybody." The man shaking in his boots replied. Riddick once more came up behind the rapist pulling the shiv across his throat quick and easy; he fell to the wet ground, his blood flowing out of his body. Riddick crouched down watching the life drain from his body.
"You'll never hurt her again." He whispered in the dying mans ear. He took his last breath and Riddick watched. Riddick stood up walking away from the dead man heading back to Kyra's apartment.
Riddick walked into the front door of the apartment seeing Kyra sitting on the couch. She stood up looking at him.
"Where did you go?" She asked walking up to him and setting her hands on his hard chest. Looking up into his goggles she wrapped her arms around his waist.
"I killed him." He said plainly looking her in the eye.
"Who Riddick… who did you kill?" Kyra asked, looking so innocent and perfect.
"I killed the man that hurt you." He replied setting his hands on her waist.
"How did you know?" She asked backing away slowly her hands at her sides.
"I was there." Kyra sat back down on the couch pulling her knees to her chest setting her head on them.
"You watched me screaming and crying and you didn't stop him?" She cried into her knees at him. Riddick took a seat next to her putting an arm around her, but she pulled away. "Why didn't you stop him?" She asked in a low scared voice.
"Wasn't my fight." He replied blankly.
"WASN'T YOUR FIGHT!" screamed at him. "Just because it wasn't your fight you let that man hurt me? Then you find out that it was me and you kill the guy. You really are an animal." She stood up walking into her bedroom and slamming the door behind her. She lay in her bed crying curled up in a little ball screaming at Riddick knowing he wouldn't hear her or listen to her.
I didn't think Riddick would let something like that go on. Not after T2, not after showing a little bit of humanity. I guess you can't teach an old pilot new techniques. You can take the man out of the slam but you can't take the slam out of the man.
The door quietly slide open as Riddick walked in laying behind Jack wrapping his arms around her. She took a hold of his arms pulling them tighter around her. He set his chin on her shoulder his lips next to her ear.
"I love you Jack."
