Chapter 3: Running
Jack had been wandering around for several hours, not really paying attention to her surroundings all that well. It was starting to get dark, and she hadn't found a place where she could stay for the night yet. I'm not going back! I won't go to that stupid school! But she was also starting to miss Riddick. Stupid lug could have at least stuck up for my side! Didn't even say anything, just grunted! She kept wandering but soon found herself falling back into old habits, looking around for any teens like her that were a little short on the guardian side of things. Catching movement out of the corner of her eye, she turned to see several teens enter an alleyway that others on the street seemed to avoid. Bingo! She followed the teens into the alley and found herself faced with a door. When she reached forward to open the door, it swung inward, revealing a smoky dim interior that called to her. So caught up in what lay beyond the door, she didn't notice the huge bouncer who stood at the door watching her.
"Well, you going in or not?" he asked quietly. Not quietly enough though, cause Jack still jumped backwards as if she had been scalded.
"What is this place?" she asked, walking a few steps closer, her curiosity getting the better of her.
"This here is the only place in New Mecca where animals can go to be animals!" he laughed out. "Think fight club, thrown in with bar, dance club….you name it, this place has it. 'Course, perhaps this isn't a place for you?" Jack looked up into his eyes and felt her own harden.
"What, don't think I can handle it?" She practically growled. The bouncer only raised one eyebrow and ushered her in. Before she got lost in the crowd though, she could hear him say, "We'll see, kid. We'll see."
Riddick couldn't believe that the kid had already found the belly of the beast. Should never have let her walk out that gate! When I get my hands on her though…. He walked up to the door and as it swung open, he could just see Jack disappearing into a large crowd. He didn't even glance at the bouncer, but just strolled in, intent on finding Jack.
He took a long look when he was fully in the club and noticed a raised platform with an ominous looking chair filled with a soft looking man. His animal was screaming at him to find Jack, but the crowd was too large for him to search for her. He would have to make his presence known, gain control, and then have her come forward. Right, this plan doesn't have tons of problems with it! He thought to himself as he headed to the platform.
Once he arrived there, he saw two big goons standing at the foot of the stairs, keeping people away. Stepping up to them he growled out, "I'm here to see the boss." The two goons looked to each other before one answered, "Yeah, we'll he's busy. Come back later." Riddick just pushed his goggles up and smiled. "I was hoping you would say that." He punched one guard so hard that he went down, while the second turned to deliver his own punch, Riddick ducked underneath his punch, bringing his knee up to wind the guard. Followed by a quick punch, and the second guard went down to join his companion. All of this had not gone unnoticed by the man sitting in the chair. He stood up as Riddick came up the stairs.
"I haven't seen a man be that stupid in quite some time. What is your name, stupid man?"
Riddick didn't even bother answering the man, just pulled a shiv and slid it deep into the man's belly. "My name is Riddick," he whispered to the dying man as he pulled out his shiv and let the man fall down the stairs. Everyone in the club was staring at Riddick as he held his shiv up and said, "Any man, woman, who thinks they have the stones to take me….can try." When no one in the club moved, Riddick moved to sit down in the throne like chair. But before the crowd could move on with their particular entertainment, they heard a large shout and one name.
"JA-A-A-CK!"
