Disclaimer: I don't own Pitch Black's universe or any of its characters, but the ones you can't recognize are all mine, as well as the plot. I'm having fun just like everyone around here. And I have to add that I'm broke, so don't bother to try and sue me because you're only going to end up with a headache. :- )
Author's note: What can I say about chapter 33? I think it's one of those chapters that you'd be able to call "a bridge" to follow the story line and the plot. But, honestly, I do really really hate "bridge chapters", so maybe after all it won't be one. Anyway, you're going to find info in here and a little mention of an old "friend" as well. Hope you like it. Gracias.

K, my lovely beta, so two Gemini minds working in unison…hmmm… now that explains a lot of things, I would say: "Hey, guys be careful, because if one Gemini is a dangerous mind, two… I wouldn't be the one to get in their path. Oh, Yes! It had to be you, K!
M, mi musa, desde el primer día que nos conocimos, hace ahora mas de siete años, has estado cuidando de mi, ofreciéndome tu amistad, tu apoyo y tu protección. Te deseo lo mejor en tu gran viaje. Sabes que mi corazón está y estará contigo por siempre. Gracias, M.
lamyka, Honestly, I like a good violence scene or a smut one just like everybody else, but I've been always more interested about exploring feelings and emotions. I really think that that part is essential in a relationship, even between characters so complicated like Riddick and Jack. Thank you, love.
ren3017, hope you enjoyed your vacation, hon. I thought that they really need to have those feelings after all the things they had been through. Thanks, Renee.
BatPhace, It's being a long, long trip, but funny as hell. I swear to you. Thanks for the compliment, it certainly made my day. Thanks, Batty.

SG18, Don't be sorry for not leaving your reviews, hon. I like to know that you're still around. And yes, took them long, babe, but finally they have solved their little misunderstandings. That's the power of love I guess. Thanks, lol.
Fitmama, I agree with you, honey. They have no experience at all, so they have to learn together. Thank you for leave your review one more week, sweetheart.
dog-demon-emiko, Thank you very much, love.
NightmareWeaver, Yessss…. He finally said it. About fucking time, big guy! I have to love Riddick, but sometimes I would kick his ass to make him snap to reality and see the things that are right in front of his shined eyes. Thank you, love.
Unknown, I like the people that is catching each and every single detail.So, what can I say?Yup! It's the less I could do to give thanks to that big bald guy we know as Vin Diesel who we love so much. At the end it's because of him and his most charismatic character, Richard B. Riddick, that why we're here, so… yes. Yes it is! Thanks, baby.
Nikita1506, Yeah, Kita, he finally said it. It took him a long trip, but he did. Thanks, honey.

marlu5, yes! Thanks, hon.
Ok children, with that said and without further ado…..
Chapter 33 LandingScorpion system was one of the biggest in the galaxy. It had been main location of The Firm's since its conception. Six planets in the orbit of one green moon, and a sun that produced more than twelve hours of natural light. Of all the planets in Scorpion, Onix was the most similar to the old planet Earth. Its resources were unlimited. It had plenty of forests, vegetation, and water. It also had big cities because of this Onix's weather was another advantage, because during most of the year, the planet enjoyed a warm temperature. With no doubt, Onix was one of the richest planets out of all the systems. It had just one thing that might be considered a disadvantage; one month of the year, as a direct consequence of the orbital rotation around the green moon, a heavy cloud made of dust stars hid the sun. Naturally, the sun still was shinning, but due to the heavy clouds, it was as dark as early evening during the normal daylight hours.
The main building of The Firm was located on Onix. It was like a fortress with the strongest security protocols ever seen. Just like The Firm's building, the main military facility was located on Onix as well. All the members of The Board lived on the planet, as well as their families and closest friends. Almost everybody who was someone lived there. As a direct consequence, the security around each and every spaceport was the strongest in all the systems. No civilians at all were allowed to work at the spaceports; all of them were controlled directly by The Firm's men.
-------------------------
The Darkveil landed in the main spaceport of Onix. Riddick was sure that The Firm's men were going to be waiting for him, so he didn't bother to hide his presence. He had made contact with the tower, and had told them that Richard B. Riddick was the captain on board and that he wanted clearance to land his ship. They didn't show any surprise but were worried, so that was the last evidence that Riddick needed. It would be just a question of hours now, before they were to be surrounded by the Spec Ops, if not minutes. Riddick had to admit to himself that he had always loved risk, but maybe he was going to far on this occasion. Nevertheless, here they were, docked on Onix, inside The Darkveil and waiting for the enemy to make his presence noticed.
Riddick had been thinking non-stop during the last two weeks. Mostly about The Board's interest in Jack, and the more he thought about it, the more he came to the same conclusion. It was a bizarre idea, and even an extremely dangerous suspicion, but inside his twisted mind it made sense. The Firm didn't want Jack dead or injured at all. The evidence for this was that they hadn't killed her when they had the opportunity. And after he had received the fucking doc as his last target, he was even surer about the suspicion. Alexander Koemborn was a motherfucker without scruples or conscience, but in spite of that fact, he was also a man of his word. The Firm's president could be as dangerous as himself, but Riddick's gut instinct told him that he was making the right decision concerning Jack. Just one question was still stuck inside of his mind. Who hired him?
Riddick knew that Jack was scared, but this time, it wasn't because she was afraid of the situation; it was because she suspected she was never going to see him again. Riddick had never lied to Jack, and he wasn't going to start now. So, he had been honest with her and had told her that it was a possibility that he was wrong. In response, Jack had argued with him, trying to make him change his mind. She didn't want to go to Onix; she didn't want to face The Firm's Spec Ops; She just wanted to be with him for the rest of her life, and if that meant that she had to run away and hide, she didn't care as long as she would be able to stick with him.
After a few hours of angry discussion, Riddick had finally convinced her, but not before she had yelled at the top of her lungs and she'd threatened him with getting rid of his fucking balls if because of his gut instinct she lost him again. Then she had beaten the shit out of the punching bag. At the time, Riddick wasn't sure if her reaction had been because she was mad about the situation, or, if it had something to do with the fact that she was on that time of the month. However, when the idea had crossed his mind, Riddick had known better than to refer to that last suspicion aloud. He had enough shit to deal with; he didn't want to have to deal with Jack's hormones too. After a few days, it seemed that the calm was back, and they had spent endless hours making up for the fights.
In the end, Riddick was starting to get used to sharing his life with someone, and even though Jack wasn't an easy woman to deal with, he was still Richard B. Riddick, even if sometimes he acted like a, in his words, "a fucking pussy", telling her that he loved her. Riddick was starting to suspect that Jack was having the time of her life, just enjoying how his face changed and showed a strange expression, that it could have passed for embarrassment, every time he forced himself to say the words to her. Of course, Jack knew better than to push him, in the end he was still Riddick, completely in love with her, that was true too, but still a dangerous man.
--------------------
"Are you sure about this shit, Riddick?" Jack asked as she rolled on top of him, resting her head on his chest, listening to the even beating of his heart. Riddick sighed heavily and looked at her.
"I told you, kid. I have a feeling. I'm not completely sure, but almost. We'll be fine. Don't worry. Just do as I say, ok?" Riddick said as he stroked her back. Jack nodded and closed her eyes, letting out a hard sigh. "Don't ask me why, Jack. But I know that fucker Alexander won't kill us. At least not right now." He added with a frown.
If Riddick's suspicions were right, Alexander Koemborn was going to order them to be escorted to the military facility as soon as he had been informed that finally, Richard B. Riddick and Jack B. Badd had landed on the planet.
After he had recalled his suspicions regarding The Board's interest in Jack. Riddick was sure about one thing. It'll be better if they let The Firm's men catch them without a confrontation. If he was wrong, he was fucked. He was ready to go to hell, but before that happened, he was going to send a lot of motherfuckers ahead of him; including The Board's twelve members, their families, closest friends, a lot of Spec Ops soldiers, and the fucking doc. Riddick hadn't come this far just to die by the hands of The Firm's hunting dogs. He had been a survivor born since he was a little baby, and at this point of the game, if Riddick was sure about one thing, it was that he was worth more to The Firm alive than dead.
The worst thing that could happen was that they sent him to slam again, which wouldn't be a novelty at all for Riddick. Afterward, he only had to break out from fucking slam and come back for his Jack. It wasn't the first time though. He had run away from Slam City, Ursa Luna, Butcher Bay and now the old Xela. Only problem would be if they decided to send him to Crematoria, which meant that he would spend more time finding a way out, but in the end, all it would be was just a question of time.
"I'm scared, Riddick." Jack said softly as she pressed her body to his, pulling Riddick out of his thoughts. "I don't want to loose you." She added as she looked up at him. He knit a brow and stared into her eyes.
"That's not gonna happen, Kid." He growled, putting as much assurance as he could into his words. Jack noticed and nodded in agreement.
Jack knew that she had to trust him without any doubts, no matter what happened from now on, even if she secretly had thought that it was suicide. Jack was determined to enjoy the time she still had with him as much as she could, just in case. Jack didn't want to think about what was going to happen in a matter of hours. She knew full well what had happened to her the last time she thought he had died, and even though she had gotten over it; Jack wasn't sure if she could survive without him with her. However, Riddick had made her promise him that in case of he was wrong, and The Firm sent him to Slam, she was going to be waiting for him, with her sanity intact and ready to fight against anything and anyone.
Jack shook her head, trying to get rid off those ideas as she heaved another hard sigh. Suddenly an idea crossed her mind, causing an evil grin to spread on her lips. There was one thing that she'd never done willingly in the past, and now was the perfect moment for it. "How much time do you think we have, Riddick?" She asked as she grinned, lifting her body. Riddick frowned as he glanced at his chrono. Before he was able to answer, Jack had moved back and had sat on her heels between his legs. Riddick grinned and raised his torso, supporting himself on his elbows, smirking.
"What're you cooking in that little head of yours, Jackie girl?" He teased as he narrowed his eyes. When Jack didn't answer him but started to caress his member, Riddick's brows arched in amusement. He had never asked her for this, he'd suspected that she wasn't ready yet. Jack flashed him with an evil smile as she giggled. Her beautiful eyes told him what she had in mind. "Are you serious?" Riddick growled deeply as he gently grabbed her wrist. He didn't want her doing something that he suspected she had been forced to do in the past.
"Are you ready?" Jack teased him as she licked her lips without stopping her caresses. In response, a strong moan escaped Riddick's lips. Jack smiled broadly and bent her head. Riddick's body tensed all at once as soon as he felt her tongue stroke his member. He let out a hiss of pleasure, followed by a deep grunt that resounding in Jack's throat.
"Oh, Fuck, Jack! You're gonna be the death of me, woman." Riddick growled as he locked eyes with her and grinned.
The next minutes of Riddick's life would be engraved on his brain forever, as if with molten red steel. The mix of Jack's inexperience, and her innocent lust, almost made him loose his sanity then and there. At that moment, Riddick made a promise to himself. No matter what the fucking future would have in store for him, he would never let Jack out of his life again. Even if he died, he would manage to come back from fucking Hell to be with his woman, to be with his Jack. Fuck it all if the universe thought that Richard B. Riddick wouldn't be able to come back from the other side.
----------------------
Riddick watched through the front window of the cockpit where at least twenty soldiers of Special Forces were headed directly to his ship. He narrowed his eyes as his inner beast started to pace its cage, extremely agitated. He'd watched a few minutes before when at least another ten soldiers had taken positions at the top of the buildings surrounding the area. Riddick then fixed his gaze on the man ahead of the group. Now, now, look who's there? He smirked an evil grin, narrowing his eyes. Owens, his beast roared. Fucking Owens. He growled as memories of the first time they met floated inside of his mind, causing that all his muscles tensed at once as a deep growl escaped his lips.
Flash BackA sixteen-year-old Riddick had been cuffed by his ankles and wrists, and then he had been sat on a chair. Two soldiers on each side of him with their guns pointed at his head. Riddick was gasping and his lips were bleeding. He had his eyes shut tightly and was trying to catch his breath that which was ragged.
The man in front of him, who was dressed in military clothes, stared at him menacingly. He had wrapped, around one of his fists, an implement made of steel. The man grinned an evil smile and punched Riddick on his right knee. Riddick clenched his teeth so tight he thought they would break as he grunted, shutting his eyes even tighter.
"Now, now, Kid. I got things to do, so don't make me waste my precious time." The man warned as he circled Riddick. One of the young soldiers, whose name was Carl, glanced at Lieutenant Owens from the corner of his eye and thought that he had gone nuts. Kicking and beating a sixteen-year-old kid so savagely, but he knew better than open his mouth. "I'll ask you one more time." He added as he continued pacing in front of Riddick. "What were you doing at Mr. Maximilian Koemborn's home?" He asked as he watched how Riddick was fighting tears of rage back. Riddick looked up at him, mimicking his cold gaze as he breathed heavily through his nostrils.
"I've told you, fucker." Riddick retorted through clenched teeth. The man shook his head and punched Riddick's stomach with all his strength. Riddick gasped, coughing as his body bent completely with pain. His heart was racing and his body was trembling slightly with fear.
Lieutenant Owens just smiled evilly. "Look, kid. I don't give a shit if you are minor. You don't know who you're dealing with, Richard. I'm Lieutenant Owens, and I'm infamous because I've never given shit about little pieces of shit like you, asshole." He explained to Riddick as he crouched in front of him, grabbing his short hair viciously and pulling his head up to make Riddick's eyes lock with his. "Things are like this. You're gonna speak up or you're gonna spend the rest of your damned life locked in Slam City." Lieutenant Owens hissed, just a breath away from Riddick's face. In response, Riddick fixed the soldier with a cold gaze, smirking through his bloody lips.
"Ain't gonna tell you shit, Owens." Riddick growled, still smirking as he spat a mouthfull of blood.
Lieutenant Owens grinned and moved back, pulling out a small gun from his belt. He had to admit that the fucking kid had balls. He then loaded it and pointed at Riddick's groin. Immediately, Riddick stiffened on his chair, along with the four soldiers. The young soldier named Carl narrowed his eyes and cursed himself silently. Carl glanced at one of the other soldiers who just shrugged his shoulders slightly. Lieutenant Owens cracked his neck as he narrowed his eyes. "The man you killed was The Firm's president, kid. Do you really think you're gonna leave this room in one piece?" He asked in a cold tone that sent shivers down Riddick's spine. "I could rip you apart, and nobody would give a fucking shit about you, Richard." Lieutenant Owens added as he tapped the barrel of his gun on Riddick's groin. "Slam City isn't a joy ride, kid. It has nothing to do with the fucking juvies you've been through lately." He added, grinning. "I think I'll let those fucking bastards take care of you instead of me." He finished and he laughed hard.
Riddick gasped and his eyes widened with fear. He didn't know what the fuck they were talking about. He hadn't killed anybody. He had arrived at Maximilian's house while following Tess. He arrived in time to see her holding a shiv soaked in blood in her trembling hands, and a naked man covered in blood on the big bed.
Riddick might be considered as a psycho kid, at least according to his psychiatric records, but he had never killed anyone. He had had problems since he was a child, because he had a hard temper and he was extremely difficult to deal with. On more than one occasion, Riddick had sent other kids and a few adults to the hospital. His physical appearance didn't help him any either, he radiated danger all over, and he walked around with a "don't fuck with me" look plastered permanently on his face. Along with that, Riddick had always been taller than most of the kids his same age, but in the end, he was just that, a kid.
Riddick raised his head slowly as locked eyes with Lieutenant Owens. "I haven't killed anybody in all my fucking life, asshole." He muttered through clenched teeth. "You can ask Theresa Hawkins, she was there too." He added, fixing him with a mimicked cold gaze.
Lieutenant Owens chuckled at that. "Sure, kid. Too bad for you then, cause that whore is dead." He smirked as he picked a horse bit from the table. "According to my intel, you entered Mr. Koemborn's home to kill him and you didn't find him alone, so you killed his whore too." At the sound of his words, Riddick's eyes went wide and he couldn't help but gasp with fear. These soldiers had to be kidding. He was in real deep trouble now. "I think I forgot to tell you that though, huh?" He continued as he ordered the soldiers to grab Riddick's head.
Riddick immediately started to struggled with all his might to release himself from the soldiers grasp, feeling something growing inside of him. It was a strange sensation he had only felt on a few other occasions, but never so strong. At once Riddick felt adrenaline pumping fast inside his veins, while his rage was growing, fed by his fear, rage and pain. Finally, they subdued him and slammed him onto the floor. They had the horse bit inside of his mouth in seconds. Lieutenant Owens grabbed a hypo syringe and crouched beside Riddick. His eyes flashing a cold gaze the whole time. Riddick narrowed his eyes as he felt his heart race so fast he thought he would suffer a heart attack. At that very moment, Riddick understood that they had set a trap for him and he had been so fucking naïve to fall for it.
Riddick felt the sensation growing more and more until he would be able to swear that his rage had let out a deep roar. He was fucked, and now he had to think about how he was going to deal with this new shit in which he was so deeply immersed. For a minute, he didn't know if he would survive another day. "Richard B. Riddick, you're under arrest for the murderers of The Firm's president, Mr. Maximiliam Van Koemborn and Miss Theresa Hawkins." And with that said, he injected the needle into Riddick's neck. Riddick felt his rage become alive with such strength that it turned into a wild animal. At once, Riddick narrowed his eyes and felt that animal rising to its legs, letting out a roar that resounded inside of his brain, snarling at his fate. A few seconds later, everything went black.
End Flash backRiddick narrowed his eyes, grinning. He had been training Jack, wishing that Owens would be his host, and here he was making his wish come true. This was going to be even more fun than what he had thought at first. Riddick had hacked into the top classified files of The Firm's top special military officers. He knew full well that Alexander Koemborn wasn't going to send just anyone to catch him. So, Riddick had been reading file after file in search of something, anything, that was worthy. Finally, he had discovered that Lieutenant Owens had become a General faster than any of his military mates. Riddick then had come to the understanding that Owens had become Mr. Koemborn's right hand.
Riddick then fixed his mercurial gaze on Owens' badge. General, huh? Riddick thought silently, grinning. He had always been a motherfucker gifted with an intelligence that many would have loved to have, along with a gut instinct that was sharper than any of his lethal shivs. Riddick had been right once again in his suspicions. He couldn't help but gave thanks to Imam's God because at least all the hours he had spent with Jack's training just one move were going to more than pay off.
"Riddick?" Jack asked as she joined him in the cockpit, pulling him out of his thoughts. Riddick turned his head to look at her. "Time to play who's the best fucking killer." She added softly as she grinned with a slight hint of fear in her voice. Riddick grinned an evil smile.
"Who's the best fucking killer, Jack?" He asked, grinning an evil smile as he lifted a hand and stroked her cheek. Jack locked eyes with him as her arms circled his waist.
"You are, big evil." Jack said as she mimicked his evil grin. They looked at each other for a long moment in complete silence, until Riddick heaved a hard sigh.
"No matter what happens out there, no matter how many soldiers you're able to see, remember what I told you. Owens is a dangerous man, but you're Jack B. Badd; you're my woman and you have more balls than any of those motherfuckers." He growled gently as he stroked her back. Jack shivered at his words but nodded yes in return. Suddenly she couldn't speak at all. "They're gonna separate us, don't worry. It's part of the fucking standard security protocol. Wait for my sign and don't forget what we've been training for." Riddick said, deadly serious. In response, Jack nodded yes and tiptoed on her feet, kissing him. They were kissing each other like never before, showing through that kiss their emotions and feelings for each other.
"Richard B. Riddick, you're under arrest." A voice spoke through the com of the ship, resounding around the main cabin.
They released their lips, both panting as their foreheads pressed together, sighing. After a moment, they locked eyes one more time. Jack's eyes were sparkling with frozen tears. Then she blinked slowly and two single tears rolled down her cheeks. "No more tears, kid." Riddick growled in a deep, low rumble, as he wiped them away with his thumbs. He didn't let his mercurial gaze leave Jack's green eyes. "Show me that fucking beautiful smile of yours, Jack." He added grinning. In response, Jack managed to swallow the knot in her throat and smiled broadly at him, still with teary eyes. Riddick felt his heart skip its rhythm as soon as her lips showed him the most beautiful smile that his shined eyes had ever seen. Riddick bent his head and murmured against her lips. "I love you, Jack." His voice was a deep low growl.
"You better be right, Riddick, or I'll beat the shit out of you, got it?" Jack replied fiercely as she captured his lips in a demanding kiss, almost violently. After a moment, Riddick released her lips and stared at her eyes. "I love you, Riddick." She whispered as a small whimper escaped her trembling lips.
Riddick grinned. "You better wait for me, woman or I'll beat that killer ass, got it?" He teased her as he let go of her completely. In response, Jack rolled her eyes, grinning.
They both headed to the cargo hold and Riddick entered the security code to open the ship. After a few seconds, the ramp started to lower down with its metallic hiss. Just as soon as it touched solid ground, the soldiers pointed their paralyses guns at him. Riddick stared down at them through his goggles from the top of the ramp, grunting. His beast roared in its caged. He then turned his head to look at Jack, who was still in the shadows, grinning. Jack pulled her shiv out of her boot and winked at him. After that, she moved forward and started to walk down the ramp. She had to pretend she was scared and at the same time, that she was as innocent as the day she was born. For the first request, Jack didn't have to make any great effort; she actually was scared. For the second, her innocence had disappeared many years before, but Jack only had to bat her lashes slowly and smile sweetly, and voila, Audrey Jacqueline Travis was back.
Riddick watched her from the top of the ramp. Jack had an "I'm as harmless as a three year old child, please, please help me" look on her face. Riddick had to fight the urge to laugh. Harmless, my ass, his voice echoed inside of his brain. He knew full well that they had bought it as soon as Owens looked at her and his eyes widened. If the fucker would have known better, he would never had moved forward, and wouldn't have offered his hand to help her walk the last few steps. As soon as General Owens took her hand in his, Jack sighed deeply and smiled gently. She felt her heart double beat its rhythm and took a deep breath. Riddick watched her through his silver eyes covered with his goggles. That's my woman, his voice sounded inside of his brain full of pride. Riddick chuckled and followed her.
General Owens tapped Jack's hand gently and turned his attention to Riddick, who smirked. "General, huh?" He growled as he looked the man over from head to toe. "Fuck, Owens, I never thought I would see you again." Riddick chuckled as he knit his brow.
General Owens grinned. "Don't make me shoot you, Richard." He said as he gave the order for the soldiers to cuff his wrists and ankles. Riddick just stood there without make any moves, just looking as if he actually was bored to death with the security protocol. He looked around himself and noticed the soldiers that were pointing their guns at them, hidden on the top of the buildings. General Owens turned his back to Jack. Not his smartest decision. At that exact moment, Riddick arched a brow and grunted. In two seconds, Jack rushed the General from behind and pressed her shiv against his neck.
Riddick had been repeating this move with Jack again and again, during endless training sessions, on board of The Darkveil until she could do it with her eyes closed. General Owens wasn't as tall as Riddick himself, but he had exactly the same amount of muscle. If Jack could rush to him fast enough, she would be able to catch him with his guard down. She only needed a few seconds. He would never think that the girl was a serious danger, so that was her advantage over all of them. And it worked, because General Owens fixed her with a menacing gaze and lifted a hand.
"Don't shoot!" He ordered as he cursed himself silently. His soldiers looked amused. He had to admit to himself that he wasn't expecting this from her, maybe from Riddick, but definitely not from her. Jack turned the general around, making him face his soldiers. She felt the adrenaline pumping through her veins and her heart beat fast, but she managed to keep her breath even and her mind focused on business.
"Tell those fuckers to drop their weapons General, or I'll slash your throat here and now." Jack warned him through clenched teeth with a low menacing voice. Riddick knit a brow as he continued watching each and every soldier around them. Fuck, Rick. She did it, his voice sounded inside of his brain full of pride. When none of them lowered their guns, Jack pressed the shiv against his skin, but not quite cutting yet. "I have nothing to loose, so your choice." Jack hissed, applying more pressure, causing a few drops of blood to roll down his neck.
Immediately, General Owens shouted. "That's an order!" After a moment of hesitation, they lowered their guns. "Miss Travis." He said as he looked at her from the corner of his eye. "If we wanted you both dead, you'd be dead already." He added. Jack glanced at him from behind and chuckled. "I see that Riddick trained you really well." He added trying to sound nonchalant.
"I don't know who the fuck you think I am, asshole. But sure as hell, I'm not Miss. Travis. And, I don't give a shit about what you want. Now we're gonna play by my rules, and you should know that I'm not a woman to mess with." Jack hissed as she stared at him with cold eyes. Riddick smirked and moved forward. "Hey, big evil! Do you think I should introduce myself to the General here?" Jack's voice was full of sarcasm as she grinned an evil smile.
"Go ahead, Jack." Riddick answered, grinning as he grabbed the general's gun from his waist and put it against his head. As soon as General Owens noticed it, he went still.
"Now, now…General Owens, isn't it?" Jack asked as she let go of him completely. She then moved ahead of him and looked at him from head to toe. "Jack B. Badd, Richard B. Riddick's woman and a little unstable." She said in a low tone of voice, smirking an evil smile.
General Owens smiled and turned his head to face the gun that Riddick was pointing at him. "Well, Jack. You're not in danger here. We only want to escort you both to a safe place, that's all." He explained to her as he fixed his gaze on Riddick. Jack rolled her eyes and laughed.
"Sure, Owens." She retorted as she suddenly moved forward, making the blade of her black shiv rest against the General's groin. He glanced down in response, narrowing his eyes. Jack smiled and continued. "And we are more than ready for that. But with one condition." Jack added as she pressed the blade against the fabric of his cargoes, making Owens stiffen slightly. "No chains, no blindfold, and definitely no bit." She said as she fixed him with a menacing gaze, her voice cold. Riddick narrowed his eyes in suspicion, this wasn't part of the plan, but he was enjoying seeing his little Jack threaten General Owens. "You should know that I've been under so much stress lately, General. And my body is full of all kinds of shit, so I'm not sure if any of them would cause me to loose my sanity at any moment." Jack added with chuckle, causing a grin to spread on Riddick's lips. General Owens didn't answer or move a muscle, so Jack applied more pressure against him, causing the blade cut the fabric. Riddick winced slightly. Definitely a bad idea to try and piss Jack off. "They aren't my balls, General. I'm tired of this shit. Don't think for a second that I won't do it." Jack stared at his eyes, daring him to not believe her. "I'm fucking Richard B. Riddick himself, General, I'm used to mean business with a shiv." She growled and winked at Riddick.
"My woman is not fucking around, Owens. You better answer yes or say good bye to your fucking balls." Riddick growled, grinning. For a second he wasn't sure if his little Jack was going to castrate the General in front of his soldiers or not.
General Owens tightened his jaw and reluctantly nodded in agreement, flashing her with a murderous gaze. If it weren't for the direct orders he had to follow from Mr. Koemborn, he would kill this little bitch with a slow and painful death. Jack grinned and sighed a little relieved. At least, if they decided to kill them, Riddick would have a chance without restrains.
Ok, kids. Our couple had landed on Onix and we're going to discover many things next week. So until then you have to play your part on this game. Press the little bottom and tell me what do you think. Thanks.
