A/n This is a flash back so don't think I went all crazy on you guys.
R&R's welcome I promise I'll have The gOD bake you a cake.
"You know in a place like this a cold blooded killer like you needs an edge."
"I have enough of an EDGE already."
"Too bad you can't see in the dark."A woman wearing small black goggles pointed up at the high ceiling of the prison, "You know those lights won't stay on forever."
"I don't plan on staying here forever."
"That's what they all say, and you know half of them weren't right."
Riddick looked at her with a puzzled look on his face. She just smiled and said, "You'll see darling you'll see." As if she herself controlled the lights the entire prison except the guards rooms went entirely pitch black when she left him and the last thing he heard before the chuckles and grunts was her voice softly calling. "I'll be back. Darling. Trust me I will."
After four weeks Riddick was thrown out of the infirmary. They told him he was free loading and they needed him out. He hadn't seen that woman since. He had figured he wouldn't any sensible convict that didn't want any extra trouble wouldn't dare be seen with the new guy who got his ass kicked during an ambush.
It's pathetic I'm supposed to be the toughest criminal in any universe and I got my ass kicked by 4 guys. I've taken down twice that many in plenty of occasions. It was like they knew where I was but it was so dark. How could they see?
Riddick was so deep in his own head he didn't even notice the walked right by Grey.
"I hoped you liked my friends. I told them not to do too much damage, I think four weeks in there was a little much, at least they didn't kill you. But I expected much more of a fight from you. You let me down Riddick you only took one out, tsk,tsk,tsk."
"Exactly what is it you want from me?"
"Wouldn't you like to know." She moved in front of him blocking him from moving any farther. She lifted up a had and stroked his left forearm.
"What is your game?" He shook off her hand like it was diseased.
"Aww, your no fun you know that. I won't bite. Well, unless I'm asked. Normally."
"I'm not interested in that. What other proposition do you have for me?"
"What makes you think that wasn't my only offer I had to make?"
" 'Cuz I'm an animal and I know these things," He put his hand on her shoulder and slowly moved it up to her neck and pushed her against a wall, "out with it! Now! I don't like being played with."
She just giggled which made him increase the pressure. "Easy boy you know if you kill me ... you know dead men tell no tales."
"Yea and they don't tell lies either."
"Okay. You said that you where an animal. But you forgot that you have a handicap, one that any sensible animal cannot afford."
"Oh and what would that be?" he let her off the wall but made sure he was close enough to reach her if he needed to.
"You're blind. Well, not in the light but in the dark in this place you never know when the lights are going to go. And when that happens you might's as well be walking around with your eyes closed."
"And you think you can fix that?"
"Not me just a friend."
"Really and what can your friend do for me." Just then the lights turned out Grey reached into her pocket and handed Riddick a flashlight.
"You'll need this since your blind."
"What about you?"
"Concern, that's impressive for a boy like you."
"I'm not a boy!"
"I wouldn't make too much noise if I where you."
"You can't be older than me."
"I'm not now can we go or should I leave you here?"
"I can handle myself."
"If you insist." Grey pulled up her goggles and started to move away from the then 18 year old Riddick. When he grabbed her arm and spun her around. Her scream made his ears feel like they where going to bleed. "What the fuck is your problem? Asshole!" She shoved him hard and he fell over.
He rolled back up and she snatched her flashlight back from him.
"Hey. Give that back."
"I'll give it back." She hit him hard across the face with the handle of it. "Still want it back?"
"What is your problem?"
"The only down side to not having the blind handicap."
"Can I see?"
"Only if you keep that damn thing out of my eyes."
Riddick took the flashlight from her hand and shined it on a wall. She looked up to where he could see her eyes and tries to shield them from the light.
"That explains the goggles. What happened?"
"I had a shine job done on my eyes to fix that little problem."
"How much?"
"For you 20 menthol Kools."
"What about you?"
"20 persons." There was a sad tone in her voice when she said that.
"Why are you sad it's payment sounds like a fair price."
"Well, 'cuz of me there are some real monsters you've never seen before."
"How many left?"
"Just one and he wants it to be you."
"Why the Kools there must be a thousand other types down here but I haven't seen any of those yet."
"Down here you never will. Those are the only kind the guards smoke. We don't get them. It's like a test they say your the best criminal ever and the boss man wants to make sure your real so..."
"I gotta lift them from the guards."
"Easier said then done."
"I hope not."
"They never come down here. Look I have to go just call me when you make up your mind and have payment." she reached out her arm and grabbed a rope that led to the bottom floor of the prison.
"How will I call you?"
"If you don't see me just whisper my name and I'll be there soon enough."
"How will you know I called?"
"Super hearing it sucks don't ask for it it's not worth it okay!"
"What do I call you?"
"What ever you want."
"Pretty eyes."
"Works for me kid. Works for me."
