Chapter 7
Final Chapter, maybe a sequel... more then likely.
Riddick sat up in the pilot seat setting the coordinates. It had been three months drifting. First stop, Crematorea, then god know's where else. His gogles were strapped tight around his eyes, and some of the purpleish light still broke through. Then the fact that he needed to use the small area they tried to call a bathroom.
He stood up from his small chair, taking one look out at the stars. Using both hands, Riddick launched himself up into the cargo bay and across to the small bedroom. Off to the left in the very front of the door was the bathroom. Riddick reached a gloved hand out for it and pulled the small door open.
"Riddick!" was all he heard as a flash of golden skin and towel collided and Cadence pulled the towel up over herself. "What the fuck are you doing here!"
"My ship, my bathroom. Gotta piss." Riddick did not look at her face, but she couldn't tell where he was looking. For a long moment Riddick and the woman stood staring at each other silently.
"Riddick, let's get this clear. You don't like me, I don't like you, got it?" She barked.
"If you don't like me, howcome you haven't put you're clothes on yet? Cause you do look a little cold Merc."
"Riddick..." She moved close to him and the towel hit the floor as she leaned up and kissed Riddick passionatly. He returned it, turned and strode away, leaving her in the room all alone.
"This is your stop." Riddick barked, pulling the lever that opened the side door. " I'll be back with Toombs in a few days. Here's the last of the cash." Cadence scowled as she took John by the hand and pulled him away from the ship.
"Riddick?" John quivered. "Riddick no, I wana go!" He lunged for the ship and Cadence held the boy back.
"No kid."
"Riddick!" Tears rolled down the child's face now as the door slowly closed off the inside of the ship and Riddick. "Riddick!"
"Stay with her Cadence."
"DADDY! DON"T LEAVE ME HERE!" John bawled. Then the door closed and John's cries became uncontrolable and unreadable. "DADDY! PLEASE!"
The engines fired and the ship took off into space, leaving a crushed and screaming child wanting the only man who had ever been his father.
