Rynn was standing in her cell when Ben came into view. He stood there for a bit, studing her before reaching his hand through the bars in hopes she would take it. She did. Ben caressed the top of her hand with his thumb while looking into her eyes.

Believe it or not this was Rynn's first time in Crematoria and Ben has helped her along the way, not that she needed, it but she still accepted it and now Ben has become kind of like a friend to her. She did put some trust in him but not completely, like Riddick.

"I know you've heard the rumors." Ben broke the silence.

Rynn finally looked up into his eyes. "Rumors?" She acted like she had no clue what he was talking about.

"Come on, Rynn. The rumors about Riddick. Him getting caught. Word is he's headed here. You should be jumping for joy, girl." Ben trying his best to cheer her up but it did no good. The last time she seen Riddick they had that fight, she got caught and that landed her here.

She started to groan and clutch at her stomach where that damn merc sliced her open. "I need morphine."

"No." Ben quickly interjected. "What you need is antibotics."

Rynn looked around, with an attitude clearly present on her feminine features, before mouthing back. "There is none here, is there?"

"No."

She had gotten a bad infection from that knife and this dirty place wasn't helping her wound any.

"Then go fetch me pain killers!"

"Rynn..." Ben was starting to get worried about her, like Riddick had. All she has wanted was morphine ever since she got here and she had managed to get Ben to find her a dose but one does wasn't enough.

"Ben..." She warned.

"I'm worried your getting hooked on the stuff-"

Rynn's pain forgotten and with lightening speed she yanked her hand out of his and grabbed onto his shirt collar pulling him hard against the cell blocks, smacking his face against them. She was seeing red. Her rage, anger and withdrawls were not to be messed with. "Get Me What I Want Or Get The Hell Out Of My Sight!" With all her force she shoved him back, causing him to stumble a bit before regaining his footing.

Ben being defeated yet again agreed. "Fine." He mumbled, discouraged, going and finding what she wanted, returning about ten minutes later with needle and vile of morphine in hand.

She quickly snatched them, taking the needle out of the sanitary package filling it up. She has been injecting the morphine into her arm rather than her tear duct, it took a few more seconds to feel the effects but it was much easier to inject that way. Plus needle into the eye, well that just flat out sucked.

She felt a pinch as she hit her vein with ease and with her thumb she pushed on the plunger to inject what she has been wanting. Soon her face and body relaxed.

Ben watched helplessly, keeping silent the whole time. There was no sense in speaking up. It wouldn't do any good. He knew Rynn was in pain but more importantly he knew she was undoubtdly hooked on the stuff.


"Destination reached. Unlocking manual control." The female voice of the computer announced.

"Alright I've got seven hundred degrees on the day side. Three hundred below on the night side." Ava informed Toombs as they were preparing to land.

"If I wasn't in hell. I'd rent this place out and live in hell." Toombs hated Crematoria. Everyone did, but that was his decision to go there for Riddick's million dollar bounty he wanted.

Doors to the place opened, sliding to the underground of the slam. They slid right on inside beating the sun that would have fried them in seconds.

"Skiddish, Toombs. Very skiddish." Riddick not impressed at all with the way his crew flew.

Another set of doors opened as Riddick went down some steps with chains on his wrists that were connected to his ankles and not to mention every crew member of Toombs' having their guns pointing at Riddick ready to fire if he tried anything.

They strapped him on the underground ride that was like an elevator car that is used to hoist the coal onto. Flying along the rails they reached the end in under five mintues. Riddick even knew how fast the car was going.

"So, this is Riddick?" The head leader wasn't at all too impressed.

How stupid was he?

"Big, big trouble." One of Toombs' crew inputted, making Riddick smile.


An hour had passed and Rynn was feeling really good. She made her way down a hallway hearing the big doors slide open, hearing commotion from above. It sounded like Toombs arguing about not getting his full cut from the arrival he just brought in but it wasn't just any new arrival.

It was him.

"You should have taken the money Toombs." Riddick said as he was being lowered below.

It was like Rynn snapped back into reality for a moment when she heard his voice. She quickly darted to hide behind some big rocks, dragging a long chain behind her. She croutched down, contining to watch Riddick as he twisted and turned his body, swinging the chains and spinning fast so his momentum would pop the chains and he would become free of them and he was. Riddick was a thing of beauty to watch. He landed on his feet like a graceful cat.

She noticed him taking in a deep breath and letting it out slowly with a slight growl. He knew she was here. Truly here. He could smell her the instant he entered the slam, even before being lowered below. He could also smell another scent coming from her that didn't sit too well with him.

He wasn't able to quite put his nose on it yet as some of the inmates wasted no time in gunning for him. He took them all out with ease but a so-called sneaky inmate thought he would get Riddick from behind. He knew he was there but Rynn moved from her hiding spot to use her chain like a lasso and wrap it around the inmates neck, jerking back on it, snapping his neck. His body landing on the ground with a thud.

She saw a smile appear on her man's face as he turned around taking his goggles off, more like ripping them off, so his shined eyes could get a clearer look at her. His mouth started to water. Taking her in. Rynn looked completey the same, maybe a bit skinnier, looking a bit more fraile, but the same. Wearing a white tank top and jeans that hugged her curves nicely.

Rynn did the same to Riddick. Took in the sight of him. God how she missed him. She moved her stance a bit, pulling on the chain, wrapping it around her arm like you would wind a hose up. The lovers continued to take one another in. Not really able to take their eyes off each other. After all they hadn't seen each other in months.

"There are inmates and their are convicts..." Ben appearing.

Rynn saw him approach Riddick from the side. Riddick knew he was coming even without her line of vision.

Rynn was grateful for Ben at that particular moment, he was the perfect distraction to make herself scarce and when Riddick returned his eyes to where Rynn originally was she was nowhere to be found but she still had her blue eyes on him.

"...So, which are you?" Rynn could still hear Ben questioning Riddick in the distance.

"Me?" Riddick's deep voice spoke placing his goggles back over his eyes and with a cocky smirk replyed. "I'm just passin' through." Before smoothly walking away following Rynn's scent to her cell.


Yay! The two are about ready to reunite but will it be a happy reunion, seeing Rynn is still dealing with her little addiction? You'll have to keep reading to see. Also next chapter should be longer. :)
