Chapter 2
Chapter 2/32
They surfaced New Mecca three hours later. It took Riddick ten minutes to land the small skiff. As Riddick shutdown the system, Imam was instantly behind him. He put his hand on Riddick’s shoulder. This caused the younger man to flinch as he turned to Imam.
"Mr. Riddick, why don’t you let my friend fix your leg wound before you leave for your destination," Imam suggested.
Riddick looked at Imam in shock. The Holy Man wants me to come with them, he thought..
Jack watched the twosome with a smile of hope on her face.
"Uh…you want me to come with you and the kid. Even after my explanation of why she can’t come with me?" Riddick asked.
"Mr. Riddick, I understand your reasoning but I….uh trust you. How can I not, after you came back for us with Miss. Fry, he said somberly.
Riddick suddenly thought of Fry and how she came back for him only to meet her ghostination and save him from his. She was the first person to ever challenge him to rejoin the human race. Maybe this was his chance to do just that.
He looked up at Imam and replied, "Okay Holy Man but after my leg is healed, I’m leaving."
Jack immediately got up and hugged Riddick. She told him that she was so happy he’d be coming with them if only for a little while.
"Thanks, kid!" Riddick replied.
Imam smiled and offered his hand to Riddick, which he took. The two men shook hands on their agreement and Jack was their witness. While the trio evacuated the skiff, Jack and Imam assisted Riddick. His leg really didn’t look good at all.
Once they reached the village, they were greeted with numerous pairs of eyes. These were curious eyes that were distracted by the new comers. As they were walking, Imam saw a friend of his. The two men greeted each other and Imam introduced Jack and Riddick to him. Imam asked the man where he could find their good friend, the healer.
The man informed Imam about the healer’s whereabouts and the trio was on their way. It took them 30 minutes to reach their destination. Once they reached the front door, they were greeted with a tall and slender man. He smiled as he approached Imam. Imam returned the smile and hugged his friend.
After all the introductions, the healer took a long look at Riddick’s leg. The wound was mos def infected, due to the creatures’ blood that was spilled. The healer said a brief prayer to Allah and handed Riddick a drink that he made. Riddick was hesitant at first but eventually complied. He surprisingly felt better afterwards.
It took two months for Riddick’s leg wound to heal properly. During that time, the trio became somewhat of a family. Imam took on the Father role to Jack. Jack loved taking on the daughter role and having a Father figure. Riddick…well he took on the Protector role. He took Jack under his wing and showed her some Military moves that he learned. He and Imam weren’t buddy-buddy but they respected each other. Imam offered Riddick his ear if ever he wanted to talk. Once or twice Riddick actually took him up on that. They didn’t share many common interests other than Jack. T he little 12 year-old girl had bombarded her way into their hearts someway. It wasn’t easy but Riddick began to let Jack in….really in.
Although things were going well, a deal was a deal. Riddick knew it was time to bounce. He let Jack get too close to him and that was dangerous. He knew she looked up to him and thought of him as her "Hero" and it bothered him too. He knew that he couldn’t come close to living up to that honorable title. So, he knew it was the right time to go. Like he said before, trouble just seemed to call his name and more often than not he growled back with a vengeance.
He unrestrained himself from his thoughts and gathered his things. He called Imam and Jack into their living quarters. He told them that it was time for him to go. Imam knew this day would come and wasn’t surprised. He was just worried about Jack’s reaction.
Although Jack knew he would leave after his leg was healed, she never wanted this day to come. She slowly let the tears flow down her face, making their own path. Imam gave her solace with his arm around her. Riddick instantly was by her side. He told her that he’d be okay just like she’d be with Imam. He opened his arms and she automatically found comfort in them.
After Jack seemed to calm down a little, Riddick approached Imam. They said good-bye with a handshake and a nod. Riddick turned one last time at Jack before leaving then walked away from his heart and to his destination.
"What’s his destination?" you ask. Well, I’ll tell you. It’s Earth. LA to be xxxact. He figured nothing in Sunny California would be worst than him…so he thought!
