When it hits (Riddick Love Story)

TEN

"Aright big boy, chill out" Doll has finally let the dog out after he chewed through the small chair in the room, and almost broke the door down. He sat down happily with his head tilted and tongue sticking out, he was quite excited.

"Could you grab that doll in the chest over there?" Doll pointed to the chest in the corner of the room next to the chair where the flyer of the ship sits, I walked over and unlocked it picking up the large doll. It had red curly hair made of yarn, a pink dress with floral print and big blue eyes.

"Why do you guys have a doll in here?" I glanced at her from over my left shoulder, the dogs eyes got enormous once I pulled the doll from the chest, her expession went from enjoying the company of the dog to sadness.

"The last man we were hunting down broke into a familys home, he killed the parents and took the little girl hostage but Johns shot him before he could hurt her. The little girl's name was Sam and she gave that Doll to John's as a thank you gift for saving her life, but everytime he looks at that doll he gets angry. He gave it to me a few weeks ago, I'm guessing he couldn't handle it anymore" She bit her lip while the dog kept nudging her, what a sad story... I held the doll in the air taking a deep breath.

"You were gonna give it to the dog weren't you?" I asked, she didn't respond, "So yes, I actually don't think it's a good idea" I gently placed the doll back into the chest, closed it and locked it. The dogs eara went down in dissapointement, then the big door was open letting rain in while Johns came in and slammed it shut.

"Moss and Luna are dead, I've got the cells though but we're going to have to move fast those things are every where" He was soaked and didn't look us in the eye but walk past us to front opening the padlock and slipping the cells in. The lights flickered on and the ship roared to life, I stood up and brushed myself off.

"Where's Riddick?" I patted my sides nervously, he sighed and sat in the seat messing with controls.

"Dahl I need you up here" She got up leaving the dog in the corner of the room, she glaned at me with an uncertain look and sat in the seat next to him.

"Stop avoiding the fucking question Johns"

"We were almost here and he got hurt, I had to get the cells here" He sighed flicking on a switch, the hedlights came on and the whole room went black leaving the buttons glowing.

"Wait you left him? Out there alone?" I think I might have shrieked because Johns glanced at me like I've lost it but then returned to the controls.

"I had to, and relax I'm going back right now" When he said that a slight bit of relief ran through me, "But I need you to know there's a 50% chance he'll be alive and a 50% chance he's dead, so don't get your hopes to high"
