<Johns> ::nudges Riddick:: He is gone.
::standing in the doorway, in full gear including gauge at his side::
<Riddick> ::opens his
eyes and blinks at the man standing in front of him. The sight of the weapon makes him immediately
tense and he sits up, scowling:: What
the fuck are you talking about? We're
in space. He can't just disappear!
<Johns> ::shrugs and moves out of the door
still glaring at him:: Why don't you tell me Riddick? Was that his plan? You
come distract me while he changes the nav.? Why did he leave you behind?
<Riddick> ::pulls on his clothes quickly and moves toward the
pilot's console in the front of the ship.
His eyes scan over the note and he growls, pounding his fist against the
wall.:: I'll fucking kill him. Somehow, I'll kill him. ::looks at Johns:: And how the hell should I know?
I thought the plan was to drop me off so you two could go off on your
honeymoon.
<Johns> ::visibly ruffles and drops hand to
gauge:: Bullshit! I knew all along he wouldn't leave you. But I guess he wasn't
that in love? ::narrows eyes and watches him for a moment:: Where did he
go, who's the friend?
<Riddick> ::bristles
as the man puts a hand on the weapon and crosses his arms across his
chest:: I got the same note you
got. And I don't know anymore that you
do, Johns. So whatcha gonna do
now? Kill me and blow a hole in the
hull? Then we both die. Not very smart.
<Johns> ::looks down at his hand and blinks::
I wouldn't hurt you. ::looks up at Riddick confused:: Not after… I wouldn't
hurt you. ::shakes head and slumps down in the pilots chair::
<Riddick> ::arches a brow and eyes the man skeptically:: So you're saying that you're *not* taking me
back to that hell hole?
<Johns> ::shakes his head no looking down::
No, No, We just need to stay together, that way when he comes back for you…
<Riddick> ::backs away::
What do you mean "we" just need to stay together? And I wouldn't bet money on him coming back
for anyone. He got pissed off when I
challenged his authority and he bailed.
Simple as that. *I'm* sticking
to the original plan and bailing on the next rock we land on. You're welcome to try and get some hacker to
unscramble the ship's log and try to figure out where he landed. But you'll be doing it alone!
<Johns> He will come back for you, he loves
you. He said so. ::looks up at him:: And since I love him, I follow you. I can
help you. ::smiles softly:: I can be useful. Even watch your back for you.
<Riddick>
::mumbles:: Until I drop the
soap in the shower. ::looks up at Johns and shakes his head:: No.
I can't and won't be responsible for another person. I'm looking out for me and no one else.
<Johns> What? You want to take a shower?
::smiles and totally ignores the rest of what Riddick had said.::
<Riddick> ::rolls his
eyes and exhales loudly:: Look, man,
forget it. It's over. Finished.
Done. Just drop me off and go on
your merry way.
<Johns> I can't do that. ::sternly:: So I
will have to come with you. It won't be so bad. ::shrugs:: I will follow you
anyway, you might as well just let me help you.
<Riddick>
::glares:: You *will not* come
with me. You try to follow me and I
will kill you. End of discussion.
<Johns> Please, Don't. ::blue eyes are
floating as he is almost pleading:: I do not want it to be like this. Not like
this. I just can't miss the chance of seeing him again. Not for you, not for
anyone.
<Riddick>
::growling:: So go find
him! Track him down! Surely you're smart enough to do that? You are NOT going anywhere with
me. That's final!
<Johns> ::laughs:: How do you track down a
God?
<Riddick> ::looks annoyed::
With hell hounds. How the FUCK
should I know? Look, the ships computer
has the location where he stopped.
Start there! He's pretty unique
looking. Should stick out like a sore
thumb.
<Johns> ::nods at him but doesn't seem to
agree:: Did you love him too? ::chews lip and watches his face intently::
<Riddick> ::frowns::
I don't know the meaning of the word.
Never been loved, never been in love, nothing. It makes you weak. And I
can't afford to be weak.
<Johns> You thought Adams was weak? Because
he loved you? What makes you so special? That he loved you? ::stands and
circles him looking him over:: I mean yeah, your good in the sack, but so am I.
::stands in front of him and crosses his arms over his chest::
<Riddick> ::smirks
and crosses his own arms across his chest::
Adams said a lot of things.
Things we know now were total bullshit.
I didn't believe him for a second.
And if you did, you are a bigger fool than I thought, Johns.
<Johns> Oh? He never told me he loved me. But
I knew he would say anything to get you out. ::reaches out and lightly touches
Riddick's cheek before dropping his hand:: He loved you so much, he had me
thinking I loved you too. I wonder if that was one of his powers? One of the
ones all God's have to confuse mortals when they are near them.
<Riddick> ::flops into the co-pilots seat and begins
reprogramming the ship to land on the nearest ANYTHING:: That's it.
I'm definitely going to kill him for leaving me here alone with
you. I don't care how long it
takes. I'll *find* a way.
<Johns> ::sits down in the pilots chair:: You
know I can't let you do that. Please don’t make this harder. ::smiles:: I can
be really good, It won't be so bad. ::suggestively::.
<Riddick> ::clenches his jaw and blinks slowly:: I don't care how *good* or *bad* you
are. I'm getting off this ship. And I'm doing as quickly as possible. ::looks at Johns and narrows his eyes:: And I'm doing it ALONE!
<Johns> ::nods:: We can burn that bridge when
we get there. ::reading over the message again:: What promise did he make too
you? And what promise did you make to him? And What the fuck is a jabberwocky?
::looks up innocently::
<Riddick> ::looks at him levelly:: I promised him I wouldn't kill you. But in about 2 seconds I'm going to break that promise with a
vengeance!
<Johns> ::lifts brow:: And what did he
promise you?
<Riddick> ::looks away::
To get me outta that place. ::resumes setting the new course and then
slides back from the console:: He said
he wouldn't leave me there. And he
didn't.
<Johns> It sounds like he is promising to
find you again in this message. ::smiles ruefully::
<Riddick> ::looks at Johns, unimpressed:: It's a big universe. I seriously doubt it.
<Johns>
How long till we
land? ::stands up and walks a few steps away before looking at him again::
<Riddick> ::glances at the screen and then back to
Johns:: An hour. There's a small space station not too far
away. You can leave me there.
<Johns> There is nothing I can do to change
your mind? I mean about letting me come with you? ::sadly::
<Riddick> ::eyes him suspiciously:: No. Nothing.
<Johns> Pity that. I wish you would at least
think about it. We still have an hour to change course. ::smiles and walks to
the back of the ship to sit on a crate and watch Riddick. Soft smile on his
face, but his eyes are very heartrending::
<Riddick> ::shakes
his head:: I've thought about it
enough. I'm not gonna change my
mind. You're staying. I'm going.
You follow me or try to change the course and I'll kill you. Understand?
<Johns> I wish you would have accepted me, my
offer. I really do. ::looks Riddick over once more then his eyes turn from sad
to hard and his demeanor changes to menacing:: It's too late now. I have a
friend who is a Merc. I got him to shadow us when I found Pierce missing.
::drops hand to gauge and clicks off the safety:: Looks like since you
are too stubborn to let me have the chance of finding him with you out, I have
to take you back to slam, so I can keep an eye on you.
<Riddick> ::slips his hand down, fumbling along the edge of
the chair, wrapping his fingers around one of his discarded boots from
earlier.:: Oh you think you're gonna
take me back now? Keep an eye on me? You ain't that good, Johns. I'll do whatever I gotta do to stay out of
that place. Bet on it.
<Johns> ::levels gauge at Riddick's groin::
Think about it! I will blow your dick off. I was not crazy about you sticking
it in him anyway. But don't worry, We land, you run, My friend tracks you down.
You still have a chance of getting away. I really don't want to hurt you. And I
won't kill you because he loves you and would never forgive me. But I will,
blow your legs off, so you can't run. ::hard smile::
<Riddick> ::watches
Johns carefully and approaches him slowly::
You won't kill me? And do you
mean that you'll let me at least get a head start on your friend? I mean...if he's so good...he'll catch me in
no time. Right?
<Johns> I won't try to stop you, I do
not want to hurt you at all. I won't if you don't make me. We could have been
happy traveling together. I didn't want it to happen like this. I all but
begged you to change your mind. ::looks sad again:: I am sorry you're not able
to bend, even just a little.
<Riddick> ::pauses at the last words and smiles
slightly. Maybe Pierce was right. It's worth a shot.:: So if I let you go with me, you gonna call
off the merc? I don't like a shadow.
<Johns> ::watches him warily but puts the
gauge away:: When we land I will send him away. He thinks your Adams, I told
him Riddick escaped. He will be more worried about finding you than if I
decided to stay on the run with Adams.
<Riddick> ::nods::
Yeah, I imagine I am a bigger criminal than Adams. Who knows?
You friend may find him before we do.
<Johns> ::stands up and looks at him:: You
mean it? ::still unsure::
<Riddick> ::nods::
We'll find him together. As long
as you don't try to ship me back to slam, I'll stay. You call another merc friend and I'll split and leave you
bleeding on the floor. Okay?
<Johns> ::smiles:: It will be okay, really,
All I want is to find Adams. I will even watch your back for you. ::bites
bottom lip and studies him carefully:: I will stay out of your way. I will go
back to being whipped if you prefer me that way.
<Riddick> ::shakes his head:: You just watch your own back.
Something happens to you while we're running from the other mercs that
are *bound* to be looking for me, I won't be able to do much. We'll find Adams together and then figure it
out from there. ::locks his eyes with
Johns:: I'm putting a lot of faith in
you, Johns. Don't make me regret it.
<Johns> So we are okay? You won't try to
leave me anywhere? ::moves closer and places a hand on his forearm:: Promise?
::looking up at him blue eyes slightly dilated::
<Riddick> ::puts on his most reassuring face and smiles,
nodding slighly:: We're okay. And I won't leave you unless you're dead or
dying ::teasingly:: Okay?
<Johns> ::grins wickedly:: So will I ever get
to suck you off? ::lifts eyebrow:: Why couldn't I when you let Pierce all but
stick his dick in you? Or did you let him do that too? ::tilts head eyes
glittering mischievously::
<Riddick> ::looks
surprised but chuckles softly:: Pierce
never fucked me. But blow jobs aren't
out of the question. Why? You looking to kill time before we land?
::grins mischievously::
<Johns> ::smiles and licks his lips before
dropping to his knees and looking up at him:: Did he ever try to? Or was the
answer just no?
<Riddick> ::chuckles
and watches Johns:: He never
tried. But the answer still would have
been no.
<Johns> Why? ::reaching up to toy with the
fastener of his pants:: When it is done right it feels incredible. ::bites his
bottom lip remembering when Riddick did him right and blushes::
<Riddick> ::shakes
his head and smiles:: Maybe. But I'm content to NOT know everything. It's just not my deal.
<Johns> ::giggles:: I
see. ::gently rubbing his face across Riddick's Hips and thighs, as he unfastens
his pants::
<Riddick> ::watches with silent amusement for a moment
and then tilts Johns head:: I don't get
you, Johns. It wasn't that long ago
you were beating the hell out of me and now look at you. Care to explain the change of heart? I know you're not just doing this to keep
Pierce happy, cause he's not here anymore.
<Johns> No, ::looks up at him seriously:: Now
my job is to keep you happy until you lead me to Pierce. I don't have to do
this if you don't want. What ever you want is fine with me. ::stands and goes
back to sit on the crate::
<Riddick> ::refastens his pants and gives Johns a
smile:: Don't worry about keeping me
happy. Like I said, we're okay. ::turns at the sound of a beeping noise
coming from the console.:: And it looks
like we're close to landing. ::moves to
the pilot's chair and settles in:: You
might want to get settled yourself.
<Johns> ::moves to the co-pilot's chair and
straps in. Watching Riddick as he lands:: What's the plan now Riddick?
<Riddick> ::gestures to the com unit:: You call off your dog. ::smiles::
Then we go looking for Pierce.
<Johns> ::smiles and nods:: No problem. I
will just step out onto the docks and talk to him.
<Riddick> ::swallows but nods and opens the doors before
climbing out of the pilot's chair::
Fine. Just hurry.
<Johns> Okay, Be back in a second or two.
::turns to look at him one more time when he reaches the ramp:: Will you be
here when I get back. ::watches him carefully::
<Riddick>
::chuckles:: You really think
I'm gonna try and leave with a merc right outside the door?
<Johns> ::backs part way down the ramp:: So
you will wait until I call him off to leave then? ::his demeanor changes again
to stiff and hard::
<Riddick> I told you
I wouldn't leave you unless you were dead or dying ::grinning:: I'm not going anywhere.
<Johns>
Sure you changed you
mind after I had you by the short and curlys. I wish I had been able to talk
you into it before I knew you were just lying to stay out of Slam. ::draws his
weapon and shots the door panel so it will not close again:: I am sorry it had
to be this way Riddick, Really I am. But I don't believe you. You already told
me you wouldn't keep a promise to a man who loves you. I know you will fuck me
over the first chance you get. Plus you threatened to kill him. I can't allow
that.
<Riddick> ::hardens his gaze and drops the smile:: Oh so now you're Billy Bad Ass? Fuck up the door so we can't go after your
boyfriend? Well that's fine by me. ::walks closer, brushing against the blasted
door and stealthily lifting a piece of the jagged metal and palming it.:: It's your call. Go get your merc friend.
I ain't running. I got out
once. I'll get out again. That's a promise you can believe.
<Johns> And I will track you down every
time you do that’s a promise you can believe. ::distracted by the Merc walking
up the plank behind him he makes the error of turning his head and dropping his
weapon slightly:: Koren, Riddick's here, he has to be taken in alive.
<Riddick> ::slips up
behind Johns and closes his eyes, lowering his aim and stabbing the blond deep
in the back with the makeshift shiv::
Hope you're a forgiving man, Pierce.
I tried. ::whispered as he drops
the body and opens his eyes to see the merc's gun leveled on him.:: And so it begins again.
<Koren> ::seeing the kids mistake of dropping
his gun I quickly pump out a few tranq darts into the big man before he even
had the kid shived, Pulling out my own gun I level it at him, I do not care
that much if I take him in alive. But It would be best too, seeing how he is
special.::
