Jack sighed as she looked through the crowd, trying to find Eddie, her best friend. Then she thought of Riddick again, wishing he could be with her. Unconsciously, her hand found its way back up to the ring around her neck. The ring that had Property of R.B.R. scratched into it. She smiled slightly at the thought of Riddick. He always made people think he was such a badass, but she knew the truth. She knew the truth the first night they were rescued and when she had screamed, after being woken by a nightmare, he had come over, wrapped his bloody arm around her scrawny, shaking, frame and promised to protect her from the monsters, she knew.

I don't want to go another day,

So I'm telling you exactly what is on my mind.

Seems like everybody is breaking up,

Throwing their love away.

I know I got a good thing right here,

That's why I say (Hey)…

Jack smiled as she started to sing, and the crowd hushed. This song was for Riddick, though no one knew who he actually was, she had only told them the other person's name was Richard. But only she knew how that name didn't fit her dark angel, not one bit.

Nobody's gonna love me better,

I'ma stick with you forever.

Nobody's gonna take me higher,

I'ma stick with you.

You know how to appreciate me,

I'ma stick with you my baby.

Nobody ever made me feel this way,

I'ma stick with you.

She knew that, if Riddick were here tonight, he would know the hidden meaning in these words. No matter what, he was with her, and she with him. The two had made an impression on each other, whether they would admit to it or not. Jack felt her eyes start to shimmer with tears, but she forced herself not to cry.

I don't want to go another day,

So I'm telling you exactly what is on my mind.

See the way we ride,

In our privated lives,

Ain't nobody getting in between.

I want you to know that you're the only one for me,

And I say…

Nobody's gonna love me better,

I'ma stick with you forever,

Nobody's gonna take me higher,

I'ma stick with you.

You know how to appreciate me,

I'ma stick with you my baby.

Nobody ever made me feel this way,

I'ma stick with you.

Everyone was watching her, listening to her voice as she belted out the lyrics that held so dear to her heart. She remembered the day on the platform, as Riddick turned to leave the first time.

"Take me with you," she'd whispered.

Riddick turned back to her, and walked over to her, kneeling down.

"You know I can't do that kid. You know I got mercs lookin' for me all the time. What kind of life would that be for you huh?"

"One with you." She'd replied as tears started to fall.

With one giant hand, he cupped her cheek, catching the tears and wiping them away. He reached into his pocket as he looked at her, then brought it back out with the bag in hand.

"Take this," he said, "And know that even if I'm in hell, I'll always find a way to come back."

She'd taken the bag like her only lifeline, then wrapped her arms tight around his shoulders, hugging him fiercely.

"Promise?" she asked.

He pulled away slightly and looked into her green eyes, "Promise," he said.

Then he stood, and walked back onto the skiff, leaving her there, Imam's hand on her shoulder, keeping her from bolting.

And now,

Ain't nothing else I can need.

And now,

I'm singing 'cause you're so, so into me.

I got you,

We'll be making love endlessly.

I'm with you,

Baby, you're with me.

So don't you worry about,

People hangin' around,

They ain't bringing us down.

I know you and you know me,

And that's all that counts.

So don't you worry about,

People hangin' around,

They ain't bringing us down.

I know you and you know me,

And that's why I say…

Jack knew the song was ending soon, so she brought her voice down to a sultry pitch. She was singing this for Riddick, even if he wasn't here to hear it. She had no idea that he was standing in a darkened corner, in the back of the room, soaking up every word, every note and every movement of her body. She could feel the intenseness of his eyes, but couldn't find who was looking at her that way. But the gaze felt so familiar.

Nobody's gonna love me better,

I'ma stick with you forever.

Can't nobody take me higher,

I'ma stick with you.

You know how to appreciate me,

I'ma stick with you my baby.

Nobody ever made me feel this way,

I'ma stick with you.

Nobody's gonna love me better,

I'ma stick with you forever.

Can't nobody take me higher,

I'ma stick with you.

You know how to appreciate me,

I'ma stick with you my baby.

Nobody ever made me feel this way,

I'ma stick with you.
