Riddick got handed the sled to push while I walked next to him. I would've helped but he wouldn't let me, he's such a stubborn fucking male. Up in front of us were the rest of the idiots. I hear them talking bout us and complaining about Rid and I being free of chains.

"So, you click your fingers and they are one of us now?" Shazza says looking to Johns.

"I didn't say that." He replies.
"At least this way I don't have to worry about you all falling asleep and not waking up." He says smiling at her.
I scoff at his comment. If I wanted her really dead she'd be dead already trust me. "I wouldn't kill her in her sleep that's too boring" I say to Riddick. He chuckles quietly at my childness.

"So, can I talk to them now?" Asks the boy/girl.

"No!" They both basically yell at the kid.
The Paris guy drops his fancy drink and it rolls over to me and Rid.

"Blast!" He says as he turns and hurriedly rushes to the bottle before Riddick grabs it, but he's to late as Riddick picks it up from the ground first. Paris looks up at him scared I smirk.

"Paris P. Ogilvie." He says sticking his hand out for Riddick to take trying not to look scared shitless.

"Antiquities dealer, entrepreneur." He tells us proudly. Riddick grabs his hand firmly shaking it as he introduces himself.

"Richard B. Riddick. Escaped convict, murderer." He tells him smiling at his nervous reaction to his confident reply.
I laugh from my spot next to him as both men look at me and I just give them an innocent look. "What?" I ask pouting slightly. Paris sticks out his hand to me with a lustful look in his eye.

"And you are?" He asks me. Oh yeah I haven't been introduced to the others except Fry and Johns. I smirk he's such an idiot to talk to me so freely.
"Jade." I simply reply not bothering to shake his hand. Riddick gives him his famous deadly stare as he opens the bottle ready to drink it all just for that.

"That's a good Shiraz. It's a lovely drop." He tells him, but Riddick ignores him and puts it to his lips starts drinking it.

"It's very expensive." He says trying to convince Riddick that he shouldn't drink it all I smile a little at his pathetic way, but Rid ignores him and downs the drink in one go.

"By all means, please. Help yourself." Paris says giving up looking like an overgrown child.

When we arrive at the geologist looking building the others start working on seeing what they could do about the ship that was discovered by Fry and some other stuff that they found, but I wasn't paying attention. I just mindlessly look out to the sky. So bored.

"We are getting there." Says Fry I look to her snapping out of my thoughts seeing her in the ship. I put my arm through Rid's intertwining our fingers together as we are standing a little ways from the ship with others around it checking it out.

"We've got enough power for a sys-check, but we'll still need more cells." Fry states.

"How many are we talking about?" Asks Johns.

"Let's see, we got a 35 gig draw." "The other ship takes 20 gig cells, so that'd be 5." She says looking back at him.

"Five total to launch." She keeps going.

"Thirty-five kilos each?" Johns says.

"Well, that's pretty heavy." Says Shazza.
"You know that old sand cat out there?" "I might be able to get it going." She tells Johns.

Me and Riddick get bored of their conversation and head over to another building looking around but I do hear Johns say.

"Do it if you can. But if you need a hand... Where'd they go?" He says looking around for us I'm guessing.
Johns comes and finds us near the coring room I'm leaning against the wall watching Riddick look around. I spot Johns coming and sigh annoyed.

"Let's go." "You're missing the party. Come on, boy and girl." He says tapping his leg like he would to get dogs to follow him. I grit my teeth together clenching my fists at his comment. Oh I can't wait to shove my shiv up his annoying morphine ass.
Riddick just looks over at him as he walks away he turns back to the cover and checks the name and pulls it off revealing Jack who looks like a mini Riddick. I smile how cute he/she wants to be just like him. S'got a little crush on my man.

"Missing the party. Come on." Is all Riddick says to him. He extends his hand to me and I gladly take it. We walk and follow Johns.
"Looks like the kid has taken a big liking to you my love." I tell Riddick smiling
Riddick just shakes his head at me and I laugh "It's cute." "Got a little crush." He just shakes his head again as we walk.

Apparently they got some water from an old machine that they got going, and were just hanging out around this empty ugly ass looking room.
I stand on Riddick's left leaning agains the wall with my arms crossed across my chest. I see Johns looking at my chest and I give him a glare. I scan my eyes at everybody around this room that were being a little too relaxed when there are monsters out there, and three suns that are about to be hidden behind a big planet and they are just here sitting sipping water!
This is why I hate humans. All they ever do is fight each other and steal and kill people. Not to mention tons of ''em treat women like fucking objects it pisses me off. That's why I prefer to be around animals or nature, well Riddick too obviously.

"All praises be Allah, for his many blessings to us." Says the hoodoo man. I lean my head back agains the wall closing my eyes for a sec. I'm tired.

"What?" I hear Jack say confused. I instantly open my eyes seeing everyone looking at him/her with surprised questionable looks on their faces. I just let out a laugh at them shaking my head. Jack really is a cute kid.

"It's the winner of the look-alike contest." Says Paris in a mocking tone. Ugh this guy, just let him be a kid. "Shut up asshole let the kid do whatever they want." He looks my way and literally shrinks into himself. Rid pats my ass in warning while trying to keep me cool. I look at him annoyed. I clench my fist tight and close my eyes again taking a breath.

"Who were these people, anyway? Miners?" Asks Paris after a minute of being quiet.

"Looks like geologists." Says Shazza showing him a piece of geology crap.

"An advance team, moves from rock to rock." She keeps going.

"Nice of them to leave so much stuff here." Says Fry in a irritating voice looking around.

"Why did they leave their ship?"

"It's not a ship. It's a skiff and it's disposable." Says Johns.

"It's more like an emergency life raft right?"
"They probably had a big drop ship take them off planet." Says Shazza. "Are you sure?" I ask her before Rid can say his piece.

"These people didn't leave. Come on." Riddick tells them putting his goggles back on over his eyes.

"Whoever got Zeke got them."
"They're all dead." I add in.

"You don't really think they left with their clothes on hooks. Photos on the shelves." Riddick tells looking over at them crossing his arms over his chest looking delicious as ever. This man was built amazingly well! I'm sure grateful he's mine and that I can look at him. I take a breath and calm myself.

"Maybe they had weight limits." Shazza says sarcastically at him. I pop myself off of the wall and unwrap my arms from my chest and look her dead in the eyes "You better watch yourself." I say to her "Your really starting to piss me off." I'm seriously over these people. She looks away from me with anger in her eyes. I scoff and lean back into the wall. Typical don't want to fight me. I'm dying for a fight. I need to loosen my tight irritated body.
Riddick continues to say
"I know you don't prep your emergency ship unless there's a fucking emergency."

"He's fuckin' right." Copies Jack.

"Watch your mouth." Johns and I say at the same time. Jack ignores John and looks my way. I give him a pointed warning look.

"He's just saying what we're all thinking." Fry adds.

"So what happened? Where are they?" Someone asks.
I notice the holy man looking around for his little one.
"Has anyone seen the little one? Ali?"

"Has anyone checked the coring room?" Riddick tells them. Shit no the kid better have not gone in there alone.
