Revelation

Blah Blah same thing as before.

Riddick watched Jack sleep. It had been three months. Three months of healing, three months of sleeping in a shit hole,

three months of pent up sexual frustration. He was wired. The beast was clawing to get out. If one person even looked at

him wrong he'd gut them. He was sick of being caged in. He was even sick of being stuck with Jack all day every day.

He watched her chest rise with every breath she took. He had been an up most gentleman. He quit the sexual puns,

stopped looking at her like he wanted to eat her up. He wanted her to be the one to tell him when she was ready. He

didn't want to force anything on her. But after three months of waiting, his nerves were rubbing thin. He got up starting his

daily routine of pacing. He left the cell door open just praying some jackass with something to prove would come poking

around. But since Riddick wanted something to happen it didn't. No one even came by his cell. He did fifty push ups and

then sat down against the wall. Ho hums ho hum. Riddick had to admit he was fucking bored. All Jack did to pass the

time was sleep or read. Neither required any conversation from him. He didn't remember her ever being boring. Maybe

Slam was finally getting to him. He heard her breath change and knew she was finally waking up. Probably to read he

thought sarcastically. Being this close to her was making him crazy. He wanted to pounce or yell or do something.

"Riddick" Jack's voice was deep from sleep.

Riddick got up from the wall and sat down next to her.

"What?" He tried to keep his voice in perspective. It wasn't that he was mad at her. He was just mad at the situation. He

didn't like feeling caged. It made him angry.

Jack raised her head to look him in the face. She could see how tense he was. He was locking his jaw up, grinding his

teeth.

She reached her hand up to rub the back of his neck but he grabbed her arm and set it back down by her side.

"Jesus Riddick what's wrong?"

Riddick's head snapped up. He looked her in the eyes for a minute then stood up.

"Nothings wrong."

Jack stood up too. "You've been acting weird now for months, freaking out, being pissed. I know it's not easy to be in

here, I hate it more than you but I'm grateful your reputation protects us from having to mingle with the rest of these

fuckers."

"Well thank god for Riddick." He was mocking her and she hated it.

"Damn it Riddick, stop being an asshole."

Riddick walked farther away from her.

"Just stay put Jack I'll be back in awhile."

Jack watched him walk out and lock the cell door behind him. He'd never left her alone. She wanted to know where the

hell he was going. She knew he could go anywhere in Vasity he wanted. Guards were only there to clean up bodies.

Maybe he went to go get some food she thought. Well there was nothing for her to do but wait till he got back. She

opened up her book and started reading.

Riddick was combing Slam for a couple inmates he knew. There was almost a little city at the bottom of Slam the inmates

had made. Most knew they were never going to get out, so they made this place their home. Riddick saw the people he

was looking for and walked over.

"Well well Riddick, was wondering when you was gonna come out of that hole up there and see us."

Riddick smirked at the man in front of him. They were of equal size but the other man was a little older.

"Well Chaz, I've been busy." He accepted the cup the man gave him, drinking down the contents.

"Yeah Riddick that your wife up there with you, heard she was a real pretty thing."

Riddick shook his head. "Yeah" was all he said.

Another man a lot shorter and rounder than Riddick walked up behind them.

"So Riddick's finally got a soft spot huh." He clapped Riddick on the back "We missed ya man."

Riddick tilted his head back and laughed. "Sorry can't say the same about you Rudd."

Both men laughed at that. They knew if they somehow escaped they wouldn't come back to see even the best of friends.

"So Riddick" Chaz asked "What's your pleasure."

Riddick cocked his head to the side. "What's your price?"

The old man laughed. "What your women a prude big man?"

Riddick gave the man in front of him a death look.

"Alright, alright" Chaz said raising his hand. "I got a new girl just came in a couple weeks ago. You can have her tonight if

you escort me to collect my bills owed tomorrow.

Riddick thought about it for a second, and then nodded his head accepting the deal.

He watched the girl as she walked into the dark cave. She was about twenty, big in the chest, pretty in the face. Riddick

was happy with what he saw. He unbuckled his pants and pushed her to her knees.

"Damn it." Riddick roared. The girl below him was having the time of her life, and he couldn't get off no matter how hard

he tried. It had been hours, he was beyond aggravated.

"What's wrong?" He heard her ask him but didn't answer. He knew what was wrong. It was the girl way up the tiers in

his cell probably sleeping. He pulled his pants up, told the girl he was done, and walked to the showers. He cleaned

himself thoroughly then walked back to his cell, expecting Jack to be long in sleep. Only problem was that Jack was not

asleep, she wasn't even there.
