They carried on walking in silence all hoping that the craft was close and all keeping a close watch out at the darkness around them. For once Lafayette was quiet and walking with the holy man instead if being near Johns. Riddick looked over at Johns and saw him gazing at Lafayette with a suspicious gaze. The convict turned his head to the younger convict and saw that something had changed about the boy. He still had that cheeky confident crazy air about him but something was,…. of about him. Riddick's thoughts were interrupted by Lafayette stopping and grabbing his head in pain, all the survivors stopped and looked at him, just as he fell to his knees with a sound of pain. Johns went straight over to him and said.
"Stop messing around, we need to keep moving!"
Lafayette kept sitting on his knees, his hands clenched around his head, with pain clear on his face. Johns kneeled down in front of Lafayette who had started rocking back and forwards while mumbling some words that none of them could make sense of. The merc grabbed the younger mans shoulders and asked.
"Lafayette? Can you hear me? Stop messing around!."
With still no response and time running out for all of them, Riddick walked over and grabbed the younger convict. He repeated his name a few times and lightly shook him. Lafayette's head shot up with a wild look in his eyes and meat eye to eye with Riddick who had a worried look on his face. The wild spark in Lafayette's eyes started to slowly melt away till it was completely gone. Riddick slowly stood up bringing Lafayette with him and asked.
"You ok?"
Before Lafayette could answer Johns butted in.
"Of course he is ok, the little Shit Is just playing with us!"
Riddick didn't even give Johns a second glance before pulling the young man with him as he started to walk. The others started to follow all wanting to know what the hell just happened to the black haired boy, but instead went back to watching out into the darkness and making sure their touches were still shining bright. Johns gave a annoyed noise while watching closely at the two convicts in front of him, which were walking to close together for Johns liking. He knew they were up to something and didn't like the look that Lafayette gave the older convict. The merc was itching to go and break them up but couldn't as he had ended up having to drag the power cells. He kept a close watch out at the darkness and went over and over his plan in his head, while watching the two figures up ahead with a smirk on his lips.
Riddick glanced at Lafayette every couple of minutes trying to figure out what the other man was thinking but he kept coming up blank. The younger man had noticed Riddick's glances at him but decided to ignore them, as he didn't think he had enough energy to explain what happened. He looked at the man walking next to him and there eyes met, when Riddick looked away he had seen the promise in the other mans eyes and understood what Lafayette was saying. Riddick silently swore to himself that he will get a explanation from the younger boy at a later date. Lafayette was relived when he saw the understanding in Riddick's eyes and couldn't wait to be of this planet with Riddick by his side.
Riddick didn't know how long it had been before they had to stop again. The older convict turned to see what the problem was and saw that Johns had dropped the leads that were connected to the power cells in exhaustion. Riddick shared a amused smirk with Lafayette and laughed when the merc told Riddick to bring the power cells while he grabbed Lafayette round his upper arm and dragged him ahead. Riddick glared at the back of Johns head and started to drag the power cells while keeping a look out.
The group stopped when Riddick did. Fry came up next to him and asked.
"Is the Craft there? What's the problem".
Riddick continued to look out into the darkness and replied.
"We cant go that way."
Fry nodded and realised what the problem was. She looked and around and tried to figure out another way to go, but every where she turned she couldn't see anything other then darkness. The dirty blonde haired women turned back around to Riddick but he was no longer standing next to her and was now heading towards a place she couldn't really see, but could just make out the outline of two big cave wall's very far apart. They all followed after Riddick in silencing all hoping that he was leading them to a way to the craft. Fry walked slightly quicker when she saw that the convict had stopped. When the blonde haired women had caught up and was now standing beside Riddick, she asked.
"Can we get though?"
After a long pause. Riddick replied,
" I only see one way.. That way. it's the only way off this damn rock…. Keep close together."
"What about the cells?" asked the holy man.
Riddick glanced at Lafayette who was still be held by Johns in a tight grip and replied to the Holy mans question.
"Ile take those"
Riddick lowered his black goggles and said.
"Move"
When the group hesitated, Lafayette asked.
"Sure you can handle those, Big Boy?"
Riddick looked back at the younger convict who wore a flirty smirk on his red lips. The older convict gave the black haired minx a confident teasing smile and turned back around and said louder then last time.
"MOVE!"
The group started to run with Riddick on there heals dragging the power cells behind him, all of them trying to ignore the constant screeching that the creatures were making above them.
