Through My Eyes
By Dude Almighty 15
Chapter 1
A large black boot stepped down onto the dried and cracked earth. The sun hadn't shown here for years, and the big man knew it. Funny how his opponent had chosen here, a world without light except that of a moon. It would make the kill easier. He could see the other man's outline in the moonlight, striding forward to meet him. The big man pulled off his big black goggles and everything turned into a shade of ultraviolet, his opponent's face glowing so that he could see every scar on his face, and with the hell the big man had put him through there were a lot.
"Riddick. It's been a while" Toombs called eerily, stopping twenty feet from the big man. Richard B. Riddick sunk his muscular body to the ground, slowing his breathing until it couldn't be heard.
"You got two options Toombs. Option number one, you can come with me and I can put your filthy ass in chains and deliver you to a friend, or option two, I drag your stinkin carcass back to her. Your choice." Then Riddick slowly closed his mouth. He didn't like to talk, he preferred silence, and he now vowed that this fight would be fast and quiet. Knowing Toombs, he would have to kill him.
"Go fuck yourself Riddick." Toombs called. He began to move forward towards the spot where Riddick lay invisible to the naked eye. A Little closer. Toombs was five feet from him now and Riddick pulled a large bone knife from his small pack at his hip. This was going to be sweet revenge.
The little cutter Riddick had aquired the small cutter three years ago. He moved with ease around the familiar cockpit, taking the ship out into deep space. Toombs' dead body was laying in the back of the ship in a holding bin which was air locked shut so he wouldn't decay. He had made a deal and unfortunately he had to follow through with it, and if he did he was a free man again for a certain amount of time. Cadence just had to hold up on her end of the deal.
Three Years Earlier... "Riddick, what's this?" John asked, holding the Commlink.
"It's your way of contacting me when I start coming back, alright?" Riddick explained, looking down at the boy through his goggles. "Don't tell Cadence, got it? Never explain what you have on you to Merc's, no matter if it's her or anyone, got it?"
"Yes Riddick, but why?"
"You'll see when we land kid."
Present... Riddick held the brother Commlink in his hand. Knowing John, he would never turn it off. "This is Richard Riddick. John, do you copy?"
Static.
"Little man? You there?"
