Chapter 6
Sorry. This is one big dialogue. Next is the last chapter, but I'll post another story in Riddick, more action with Toombs.
"You're Richard B. Riddick?" Cadence asked, laughing.
"Kid, go sit in the other room. Wait till I call you." Riddick told John, who at once left.
"Riddick, I'm gonna get paid so much money for your sorry-"
"There is a child present. Even I dont use language like that in front of the kid." Riddick stopped her.
"You're mine now."
"Why do you wanna turn me in when I just saved your sorry ass?" Riddick asked calmly. He slowly moved toward her.
"I need the money, your supposed to be in prison. It works out." Cadence said. She held the gun out in his face. Riddick paused.
"You owe me." Riddick smirked. "Big."
"Damn it! The code has that one."
"Mercs have a code?" Riddick asked.
"I have a code."
"Thats surprising!" Riddick said, moving closer.
"Back up."
"Why? You're basically saying that you want me."
"Not like that you sick sonofa-" Cadence started. She never had the chance to finish. Riddick jumped forward and knocked the gun out of her hand and and ripped a shiv from her pants pocket. He had been expecting the reaction and planned ahead. "You're gona kill me?" she said coldly.
"No." Riddick answered.
"Why not?" she yelled.
"Do you want to die. I could tell the kid that you did it yourself, or that you attacked me."
"Whos' kid is that anyway?" Riddick looked coldly at her through the goggles.
"I dont know." he said. "He's furion, thats all I know. His mother died on Helion Prime he said."
"Look... I wont turn you in on one condition." Cadence said, seeing the sadness in his eyes as he peeled off the goggles.
"What now?" Riddick asked, impatiently.
"I need to find another convict."
"So you're askin me?"
"His name is Toombs. He escaped from Creamatorea and when he tried to find you, he killed some government officials."
"Toombs escaped. Wow. I did good on that cage too." Riddick smirked.
