*By Luck of the Draw*
They watched with aticipation as a tall muscular man wear goggles silently closed the door behind him and walked down the hall, it was go time. Stealthily the three shadows crept into the pitch black room their only source of light being the machines monitoring the body before them. Two of the three slowly moved to either side of the hospital bed while the other kept watch over the door, there was no telling when that beast of a man would return. It'd been hell just to get him out of the room, he'd been there every day since the woman had been brought back, unconscious and barely alive. Speaking of the woman. . .it was a fucking mistake for the bitch to be alive, there was no way. She had to be super human or robot, but a regular human? Not possible.
One of the two shadows pulled a long seringe from their pocket and tapped it a few times as the other stood just as a precaution. The first shadow brought the needle down making a slow decent to the surface of the woman's skin.
*********
Jack had been deeply in her healing sleep when her instincts had kicked in. She'd known Riddick had left, she'd known he been there from the second she was rolled out of the ship. Riddick. . .so loyal, he cared so much. She knew he was constantly at her side, she could just feel it but now. . . something was very wrong. There were three presences in the room none of them being that of friendly nature. Jack tried her best to wake herself from her state of mind but it was nearly futile. If she could just pull herself from the dark haze of sleep. . .if only.
*********
The needle had almost made contact with the skin when, without warning, the woman's arm reached up and grabbed him by the neck bringing the man down to her level. She quickly pulled him into a tight headlock to the point that if he so much as moved a inch he'd end up killing himself she then wretched the seringe from his grasp. In the speed of a bullet the woman then reached across to the man at the other side of her bed pulling him to her with the sergine in hand stabbing him in the throat and injecting the deadly liquid. Then returning her energy to the man in her arms she twisted his neck killing him instantly. Surely wasn't human. The third shadow man melted into the shadows, since his companions had failed he wouldn't.
*********
Jack's senses had finally come to just as the needle was about to pierce the skin enabling her to take her asailants by pure surprise. . .now that was damn near luck. Two down, but where was the third. Her vision was blurred to the point of not being able to tell a body from a piece of furniture, fucking drugs! Jack ripped her I.V. from her arm trying to find the third person. She tried using her senses but everything was still in a haze, everything up until now she'd been using just instinct and general naviguessation to find. Just then the door burst open a presence moved towards her. She kicked up her leg, a blow which surely could have killed anyone. . .but Riddick. He caught her leg in mid-air and set it back on the bed.
"Jack it's Riddick. . ." He didn't seem to be getting any response.
Jack continued to whip her head around furiously looking for the third man. . .nothing. Could Riddick not feel him? Had he fled? Suddenly Riddick embraced Jack in a hug. Her vision clearing a little she saw the shadow coming closer and closer a shiv raised high in the air. Jack's hands fumbled at Riddick's belt finally finding the cold metal handle she was searching for. Her hand snapped up revealing a gun and without a second thought Jack pulled the trigger sending the third and final man flying into the wall his brains splattering on the wall. Rididck turned seeing the man for the first time. So he hadn't known.
Jack let a heavy breath leave her lips, she slouched back down to the bed. Riddick could take care of the dead bodies himself, her sleep was calling to her again but before she'd let it envelope her Jack looked into his eyes, "Emotions cloud survival instinct, gotta be more careful Dickey." With that she was gone. . .back to her healing state. It'd be a quite a time before she'd wake up. No, it'd be soon. She had to train her soldiers and get even with Moran of course. Game on. . .time for war.
