sorry for any mistakes x
It had been nearly five years since Riddick has seen Lafayette and exactly fifteen days, three hours since Riddick had escape from prison. He had ditched the stolen craft and borrowed another one when he made a quick stop at a planet he couldn't remember the name off. His next stop was to find the Holy man Riddick had been listening out for when he had escaped from prison. But sadly and to Riddick's utter frustration no sights of Lafayette or that slimy merc Johns had been seen or heard of. Riddick was hundred per cent sure that Lafayette was no longer going by that name, which made finding him with or without Johns harder. With a frustrated growl the escaped criminal landed, pulling up his hood Riddick departed from his stolen craft and headed for the house of the holy man in the city of new Mecca, hoping that the man could tell him what happened after being thrown back into the slammer, with no sign of the younger convict.
Riddick stayed clear of big crowds instead keeping to the back streets, trying to find the holy man's house. Many people in long coloured garments were about, shopping and living there day to day lives. Riddick made it to a two story stone house, with big windows and doors. With quiet and skilful movements Riddick looked around in case anyone was around before slowly and quietly trying the door handle. Finding the door unlocked the convict walked in, closing the heavy wooden door behind him with hardly any sound. Hearing no sounds in the house Riddick guessed the holy man and his family were not home, but couldn't be sure Riddick sat in a seating area, hidden from view from the front door waiting for the holy man to show.
Nearly fifteen minutes later Imam walked down a hill of stone stairs on his way home to his family, passing a couple and their daughter who he greeted before continuing with his journey home. Relaxed and unaware of the intruder that occupied his house the holy man walked in through is front door before grabbing hold of the banister, ready to walk upstairs to his wife. A voice hidden in the shadows stopped the holy man in his steps, with caution steps and worry for his family; the holy man retreated from the stairs, casting a quick look up to the rails above, just as the voice said.
"Five years ago four people escaped that planet, a holy man, Johns a Merc and… Lafayette. Johns chucked me back into the slammer, which you know… but what about Lafayette?"
The holy man stood there stunned, unable to answer the convict's questions, with worried eyes Imam kept casting looks up at the floor above hoping to his god that no harm would come to his family.
"You were the last man Johns talked to before they both disappeared, what do you know?" Riddick inquired, his eyes glowing with an underlying threat.
"There is no simple answer-"the holy man uttered before he was silence by a sharp blade pressed against his throat. With his eyes still glowing and the blade place firmly against the holy man Riddick growled out quietly.
"Simplify It then-"
"Johns dropped me off here after we escaped, that all I know, have not heard from them since."
With suspicious and untrusting eyes Riddick lowered the blade, trying to get the holy man trust. Riddick walked slowly to one of the big open windows while keeping Imam in his view. Imam casted my last look up at the second floor of his house before turning around and facing Riddick. He knew the only way to get the convict away from him and his family would be to tell what he knew.
"We are threatened with invasion from above it is my job to protect my family.-"
Riddick turned to the holy man and saw the worry sketched on his face and by the worrying glance he kept throwing to the upstairs floor, he knew his family were home. In a blink of an eye the blade was back against Imam Neck, an impatient Riddick ready for answers, with a shaky breath Imam began to speak.
"Two years ago Lafayette tracked me down, - he was a mess bruised, scarred and blood covered him head to toe. I asked him what happen he wouldn't tell me or where Johns was. He stayed for three weeks until one morning he was just gone I found out after he was running from Mercs again-"
"Where is Johns?" Riddick interrupted.
"dead- killed by Lafayette apparently, there relationship was fine until year after they escaped something went wrong in Johns head and well you can probably guess what happened to your friend to end up in the state he was in-"
Riddick tightened his grip on the blade before asking. "Where is Lafayette now?"
"Last I heard he was caught and imprisoned on the planet where it is so hot you cannot walk on it."
"Crematoria"
Imam nodded his head shakily as confirmation before closing his eyes and praying to god that Riddick would not kill him. Hearing noises above the holy man opened his eyes to find Riddick no longer there. Looking around in confusion no sign of the convict was seen; Imam looked up and come face to face with the confused and amused face of his wife. With a shaky breath Imam hoped he had done the right thing in telling the convict, shaking the visit from Riddick from his mind Imam made his way upstairs to his wife and daughter, hoping he will never see Riddick again but doubted that very much.
