The man really knew how to tick me off. I sat there and stewed over my thoughts to the point where I didn't even hear or see Johns and Riddick till they were already in fornt of me.
"So, Riddick, you workin with Johns now?"
"I made him an offer. And I'll make the same one to you too." I stood there and thought about it. Well, if Riddick trusted the scum bag that much than I guess I can trust him just enough to hear him out.
"Go on." He smirked at me.
"I'm tired of chasing you two so, help us get out of here and I'll stop hunting you. I'll tell 'em you died on this planet." I looked at Riddick who I noticed didn't have any chains on or any thing.
"All right. But I swear you get in my way and I'll ghost ya quicker than anything. Got it?" He nodded.
"As you wish." I got up and followed Riddick and Johns out the door. Cold stares were thrown at us. These people didn't like us. Especially Riddick. Frankly I didn't care for them much either. We went looking for a settlement and it took a good long time till we got there. By then though I had come to realize just how thin the air was. I sat on my knees trying to catch my breath when a breather dropped in front of me. I looked up to see Jack smiling at me,
"I thought you could use some." I took a few deep breathes and then handed it back to the kid.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome." I walked around and ended up following Riddick to a coring room. It was locked…from the inside? I pulled on the doors when I felt Riddick's breath on my neck. I shut my eyes tight and could feel his lips grazing my neck,
"Riddick I swear," I turned around just as Johns came around the corner,
"Hey, you two are missing the party." I walked around Riddick who pulled the cover off the machine above us to reveal a terrified looking Jack. Riddick smiled at him,
"You're missing the party." We met up with Fry in the "lab" or at least what was left of it. Apparently there was going to be an eclipse.
"What the dark? Are you all afraid of it? The empty nothingness of a black void that you can't see through."
"Have any of you seen my youngest boy?" We all looked around and then heard a scream we ran to the coring room and stopped outside.
"It's locked from the inside." My heart pumped and I felt a horrible pain in my stomach. Something was wrong. We broke through and searched the place, Riddick opened a door and creatures came swooping out. And the kid…well…he was dead.
"Like I said, it ain't me ya gotta worry about."
