Chapter 5
Chapter 5
The transport to Planet Eden went smoothly for the most part. However, they hit a bit of turbulence penetrating the planet’s atmosphere. They safely landed at an underground military base. It was widely used for mercs on the hunt for collecting hefty bounties.
They transferred to a small skiff to trek through town. Such a tiny aircraft would be difficult to detect at night. Jada led them to sector 4 on the planet. Once there, they stayed aboard the skiff and set up a system, which would track Riddick’s whereabouts within the sector’s parameters.
Two hours later, the radar tracked him. He was spotted nearby a corner store.
"You’re On!" the Lt. said.
Jada grabbed the package, which the mercs had prepared for her and kissed her babygirl softly.
It hurt her to leave without Jenna knowing but that was for the best. For neither of them could’ve handled a face-to-face departure, such as this. They would’ve caused such a heart-tugging scene that even hard ass mercs would’ve felt.
Jada quickly left the skiff to follow him.
Riddick loved to do his prowling at night. Chances of being spotted were slim to none. As he picked up the laundry detergent, he felt uneasy. He knew that feeling very well and quickly changed his plan. He nonchalantly placed his basket of items behind the shelf stacked with magazines. He stealthily turned and walked out of the market. The cashier didn’t say anything for he learned the hard way.
Jada knew Riddick well enough to know not to sneak up on him. He’d have his shiv so deep in her sweet spot within seconds. It would all happen in a flash yet look like it was in slow motion. Jada kept her distance but close enough to keep up with him.
Riddick decided to take a different way home. If trouble found him, it wouldn’t find his family too. He walked down the darkened and narrowed alley. Once he had hit a corner, he laid in wait for his new friend.
Jada cautiously walked down the alley, tugging on the bag. She knew that he was waiting on his new fan. As she neared a corner, cold steel greeted her. She found a very sharp shiv pressed against her neck. She felt her body turning around and was face to face with her old lover.
"Who sent you?"
He loosened his grip just enough for her to answer. She gasped for air as she realized that he didn’t recognize her.
Well, it has been 7 very long years, she thought.
"Rid…dick, it’s me…Jada!"
"Jada?"
He knew that name but just couldn’t place the face. He removed his goggles and that’s when he recognized the petite and fair skinned beauty. Memories of his time on Planet Deep flashed before him. Images of them meeting and spending time together came to mind. Seeing Jada brought back all of those twisted memories from his past that he’d tried so hard to forget. He knew full well that he’d done his fair share of dirty deeds on that planet. He never physically hurt her but the emotional and mental scars that he left were just as deep. He just used her for his own selfish pleasures and threw her away like trash. But in his own defense he’d told her from the beginning that he was not looking to fall in love, not looking for Ms. Right just looking for some fun. Was it really his fault that she’d fallen in love?
Damn, I guess it has been a long time. It seems years away from me did you justice, he thought.
"Jada, what the hell are you doing here?"
"I’m in trouble. Do you remember that drunk fool who was giving me hell and you had to lay the shiv down on his ass?"
"Yeah, what of it?"
"Well, he’s back and looking for payback. It seems that he didn’t take too kindly of you kicking his ass. He’s been after me for the past three months. I’ve been planet hopping, star jumping and transported here three days ago. While I was buying something to eat, I saw you from across the street. Seeing you brought back a lot of dark memories. A lot of hurt and pain but your face, it’s the first familiar one I have seen in months. I’ve been coming to that same store ever since, looking for you. Riddick, I really could use a hideout man. I have no one else who can or will help me. I know you’re the last person I should be asking for anything but I really need you. I can’t blame you if you won’t help me but I really need a place to lay low for a while until I figure out what my next move is going to be. I won’t be any trouble…I swear. I remember how your domestic behavior was and…"
"Whoa, stop there. There’s something that you should know J. I’m not the same guy who dogged you back then. I have a beautiful wife and two cute kids. I’m not just living for me anymore. I gotta think about them now. We already got mercs on our necks and have managed to stay off the radar for 7 years. Look…I’m not saying no because I owe you. You took me in when I had nowhere to go and put up with my bull for way too long. Damn, I’m really sorry about all of the dirt that I did back then to you. I’d really like to help you out but I need to talk to my wife first. Damn it, how the hell do I explain who you are and about our twisted past? How will she understand why I need to help you now? We’ve gone through so much together and have managed to prevail through it all. How is she gonna deal with another woman from my past staying with us? She’s gonna kick my entire ass for this!" he said trying to control the beast.
Pangs of guilt urged him to wanna help her despite the ass whooping he knew was coming.
"Oh Damn, you really have changed. I can’t wait to meet this woman who’ve managed to do what I couldn’t. Where the hell were you 7 years ago? Uh, maybe I shouldn’t have…"
"I had that coming but don’t get it twisted. Although I have a family now, I’m still very much the hardest mothafucka you’ll ever have the pleasure of knowing. If that fool manages to track you down, he’ll have a nice surprise waiting for him. I be damned if my family gets hurt during this mess. C’mon, let’s go." He led the way towards his place and prepared himself for the beat down.

The mercs were tracking Jada and knew exactly when to make their move. Once the pair was no longer in sight, they proceeded to sneak unto the property.
