The Escape
Riddick easily got to the hangar without being detected even though he had a captive with him now.
Once reaching Toombs' ship, he managed to take out two of the crews loitering there. They never knew what hit them. He strapped Bryant onto a cot behind the cockpit and tight up her hands and legs.
By the time the others realized what had happened, the ship had taken off into the night sky.
When they reached orbit, Riddick saw another ship entering the planet. He plotted course on the navigator console and set the ship on auto pilot.
Sore and vulnerable from the rape she had endured, Bryant fell asleep on the cot tired from the painful excitement. Riddick turned around and saw her sleeping.
"Make yourself comfortable little girl, you're gonna be here for awhile," he thought.
In Toombs'Ship
Ashka Bryant's eyes opened slowly to a strange surrounding. She didn't recognize the room she was in and through hazy vision she saw a black space with white dots in them.
Her brain woke up bit by bit to an uncomfortable feeling of being wet on the lower part of her body.
She sat up suddenly on the cot and her eyes watered from the stinging sensation between her legs. She remembered the violation on her body.
She also remembered where she was even before her eyes focused on the windscreen of the ship.
The black space with white dots was the space and stars. She saw Riddick sitting in the pilot's chair, sipping something in a cup.
The ship seemed to be moving at normal speed and the sight on the windscreen looked familiar, like Ursa Luna. She doubted it was Ursa Luna, the planets were aligned wrongly.
The sound of her getting out of the cot alerted Riddick. He turned his head slightly and watched her from the corner of his eye.
He put the cup down on the control console and said, "Don't try anything stupid."
Swaying erratically, she found a little lavatory cubicle in the back. It was fitted with a sink and a mirror.
She splashed water on her face and took off her khakis and panties, finding them spotted with dried blood. She splashed water on her crotch and used the paper towels next to the sink to wipe the blood away.
Sitting on the lavatory, she cried as she struggled to pee through the burning sensation. She talked to herself, thinking about how she was going to escape from this maniac.
Angrily, she screamed profanities at Riddick. The thought of cutting his throat from ear to ear consoled her rage.
After cleaning herself up, she walked to the cot and stared at him. "What're you gonna do with me? Why didn't you just kill me?" she snapped at him.
Riddick stretched himself like a cat and said, "I'm selling you to a brothel once we get to the Taurus system but before that I need to make a stopover."
She wiped the tears on her cheeks with her shirt sleeve and asked, "How long have I been here?"
"Two days," he answered.
Bryant had been sleeping for two days since they left LV 426. They must have traveled quite a distance so far. She wondered about the stopover and planned her escape.
