I stared at him. Me?!?!?!? What the heck did I do!?!?!? But then I heard it, more like smelled it.

"I'm sorry ya feel that way Riddick." Johns. The Meth head "cop".

"You're the only thing worse than what's out there." He came closer to me and grabbed my chin. He smiled at me. What the heck? I didn't say a word! If Riddick gets me ghosted by this freak I will come back from the dead and murder him.

"Pretty thing… isn't she Riddick." His lips moved closer to my face and I could feel his breath on my face. I could see Riddick tense. A small smirk played at my lips. Is somebody jealous? I decided to use this to my advantage. I wrapped my leg around Johns and kissed him. Johns was surprised but he kissed back and Riddick…well… I could see every single muscle in his body jolt and those eyes burned with anger. His hands went to my sides and that was as far as I would go. It was fun to screw with Riddick but gosh I'm kissin a meth head here. I pulled back and head butted him.

"What the heck was that for?!"

"You're a lousy kisser." He scowled at me and used the butt of his gun to hit me in the stomach.

"Who's laughin now sweet face?" and with that he left. Riddick stared at me. His body was relaxed but his eyes burned.

"Go ahead. Ask."

"Why?"

"Did I make you angry?"

He didn't say anything. I pulled a key out of my shoe and unlocked my cuffs. I strolled over to Riddick and got as close as I dared,

"Guess I did. Ya see Riddick, it's not so fun having someone toy with your emotions is it." My lips just barely grazed his and I turned and left,

"See ya 'round Riddick." I stopped just as the kid came out in front of me. My heart froze. Crap. Crap, crap, crap.

"Don't worry. I won't say anything. You're not as bad as they say are you?"

"Don't worry kid. I only kill if ya get in my way." That seemed to satisfy him.

"Well then, let me get out of your way." He side stepped and continued walking.

"What about him? What about Riddick?" I kept my back to him so he wouldn't see the pain that would be etched across it.

"The man got himself there. He can get himself out."

"But aren't you two together? Aren't you his-" I whipped around not caring if he saw,

"Don't you dare finish that sentence if you want to keep your tongue! There is no Riddick and I. There's only me. He doesn't go with me and I have nothing to do with him." I turned my back from him.

"Did he hurt you?" My breath caught in my throat.

"A long, long time ago kid. But I don't dwell on the past."

"So about him…"

"Let him rot in hell." I walked on.
