Unlikely Allies

Chapter 15

Passion fully ignited before Nadia and Riddick could reach the bedroom. So, they exploded on the living room floor. The lovers were engulfed in total ecstasy. Lips kissing, tongues swirling, hands groping, bodies intertwining, legs wrapping, hearts beating…luv making.

IN THE SAFE ROOM

As Johns continued to bang on his chains, his vision began to come back. He could make out shapes in the darkened room. He pulled and pulled on his chains of hell until he heard them squeak. The induced moans of Riddick and Nadia were making him ill.

“Yes! That’s it…just a lil bit more and I’m free,” he said anxiously.

Within minutes, his chains broke and he fell to the hard cold floor. When he fell, he scraped his head on a rigid box. As a result, his vision had slowly started to clear.

“Just can’t keep a good Johns down y’all,” he gloated gleefully.

He scanned the room for a door that would lead to his escape. In the far-left corner, there was a door boarded up with two pieces of wood. Johns rushed towards his freedom and tugged on the two plaques of wood. Fortunately for him, they weren’t bolted down tightly.

As Johns pulled the wood out of his way, he grabbed the rusted knob and turned it. The door didn’t want to give way at first, but it eventually opened.

“Ahhh fresh air, see y’all later,” Johns said as he ran out of hell like the Devil he was.

Every step that he took brought him closer to freedom. As his foot touched the shoreline, he heard a loud booming voice that cut through his corrupted heart.

“Where Ya Going…Billy Boy? We Ain’t Done Wit Cha’ Yet,” Riddick said with a shiv-happy smile on his gorgeous face.

" Aww, isn't this cute, my hired slut-killer and her sadistic lap dog. Grreat work Nadia, I taught you well. So Riddick, did she do that thang with her tongue? Yep, she did cuz I had that same look on my face too. Oh, and Rid, I hope that you enjoyed it too because that was just a loan. And now it’s payday!!!” Johns smugly said as he smiled diabolically.

Nadia’s lethal fists connecting to Johns’ left cheek was the only sound heard. The force from the blow made him stumble where he stood. It felt so good that she punched him two more times, avoiding his attempted blows to her ribs.

“You Sick Demented Fuck!! As I’ve Said Before, You’ll Never Get To Taste This Chocolate Honey!! Nadia bellowed out as she tried to punch him again.

This time she missed but he didn’t. His jab caught her in the stomach then she fell backwards a few steps.

Riddick stealthily rushed Johns and shived him in his leg. The cut was only minor but it was enough to raise the stakes. Johns now had the chance to kill two birds with one stone. He would ghost the convict and then take a dip in that chocolate milkshake.

“Your Ass Is A Ghost!!” Riddick growled out, ready for The Shiv-Down!

Johns ran towards Riddick and they locked horns, like two devils in hell’s ring. While struggling for the shiv, Johns sucker punched Riddick in the jaw. Riddick then head-butted him and Johns grabbed his face. The two devils began to wrestle and tumbled into the water, making waves with their body weight. Johns managed to pry the shiv out of Riddick’s strong hands and shived him, tearing his black t-shirt

. Nadia rushed to the scene and threw her baton to Riddick. He caught it with ease and swept Johns’ leg. Water was splashing everywhere as Riddick pounced on his prey. Nadia stood helpless, watching the battle for their freedoms unfold. Finally, a body stood up, in a cloud of mist. It was so dark, that she couldn’t make out its owner.

“Riddie?!!” Nadia roared out.

“Fuck, Show Yourself….Or I’ll Ghost Your Ass!!” She said while pulling her gun out of her holster, just in case.

There was no answer.

The body continued to walk towards her.

Nadia then fired a warning shot towards the figure.

There still was no answer.

As the form stepped out of the water, Nadia could see a shiny object in his left hand.

Oh My God, The Shiv. This has to be Riddick, she thought.

As the body came closer, she asked, “Why didn’t you answer me when I called your name?”

Within seconds, Nadia found herself face-to-face with…Johns.

In that moment, Nadia died inside. The man that emerged from the water had not been the love of her life but the slave driver she called boss.

Johns, the man whom she knew would kill her for her actions. Johns took Nadia into his arms and tried to forcefully kiss her. She squirmed to avoid him.

"Come on Ms. Steele it's…it's my turn!!" He said.

"Fuck you!" She screamed and spit in his face.

He grabbed her arm, whipping the spit away with his free hand.

“Good, I like it rough." He said, pushing her to the ground. "I paid for my ticket. I want it and since you won’t give it to me, I am taking it by force." Johns dropped to his knees.

He tried to mount Nadia but she struggled.

Nadia became hysterical. "No…No!" she screamed. "Riddie…Riddie Please."

She watched the water, still calm and wondered what happened to the love of her life. Johns left himself open and she went straight for the balls.

With one swift kick, she left him speechless. "You bastard!" She said as she stumbled to her feet.

She stepped back and landed a kick to his grill. Johns regained his stride and dived on her. His nose bleeding heavily.

“You know Ms. Nadia. We set your purrty lil ass up. I didn’t “just happen” to find you in that alley on Planet Deep. You See, Scott Is My Brother!! He called me and told me to come “rescue” you, after he was done with you. Every since he lived in that place, we had this really great scheme going. He’d find unsuspecting teens and rescue them from the streets. Once Scott had gained their trust, he’d call me. I would then “recruit” them into my world. Did you ever wonder how somebody so illegitimate had so many legitimate things? We didn’t think that you would last, but you did.”

Johns ambushed Nadia. They both staggered and began to tussle, as they fell to the ground.

“Can I Hop On This Train of Terror Too?” A very pissed off Riddick asked savagely.

Nadia’s heart began to beat again; she had been given her life back. She was alive.

“Riddie, Oh My God!’ Nadia cried out breathlessly.

Riddick viciously tried to hit Johns’ sweetspot with his shiv…and missed. It was the feel of his prized possession that helped him regain consciousness, in the ocean.

“Oww, Shwwww…. Johns howled out in excruciating pain.

“I’m here vow, Nadi,” Riddick comforted.

Riddick helped free his Queen from the poisonous claws of the evil serpent with two legs.

He grabbed her bloody, yet daintily hands and pulled Nadia to her feet.

He then caressed Johns’ back with his boots. He pressed so hard that a loud cracking sound was heard.

“Did You Hear What He Said About Scott?”

“Yes I did, I’m sorry baby. You okay?” Riddick asked Nadia, giving her a quick once over.

“I’m okay baby. It’s nothing that we couldn’t handle. Just ghost that fucka once and for all,” She bellowed out.

She leaned over and gave a soft peck on her lover’s inviting lips. Nadia then sauntered a few steps away from The Battle of Devil vs. Beast.

“Hey, Billy Bad Ass. Not Afraid Of Da Beast, Are You?’ Riddie growled out.

With one swift swoop, Riddick shived Johns in his sweetspot…and didn’t miss.
That was the final nail in the devil’s coffin. Riddick dumped Johns’ lifeless body into the ocean. Nadia ran to him as they watched their blue eyed monster sail away to hell. The gates of hell had finally been closed.

They got dressed after they calmed down some. They had to find Scott’s trifling ass and ghost him too. Nadia and Riddick searched around and found out that Scott stayed at the same exact hellhole. They caught the first transport to Planet Deep and paid ol Scotty boy a much-needed visit. Nobody heard his horrified cries that echoed through the darkened halls.

Two months later, the authorities had found three bodies in the ocean. One was badly decomposed and resembled gollum. Later, the body was identified as Dylan Blackwell.

At last….vengeance was their’s…and they takes it.
