Chapter Thirteen

Riddick tossed the guard he’d been holding above his head through the wall as Gabriel blasted a ball of flames at the other ten or so guards who rounded the corner, guns aimed in their direction.

It sounded like every alarm in the state was going off and the sprinkler system had kicked on immediately after Gabriel melted the door on their cell. So, his head was pounding, he was sopping wet, and he was pissed off enough that Riddick was starting to reconsider his don’t kill anyone plan.

Gabriel didn’t exactly look happy, either. His fire was scary enough to make the guards scurry away like little mice when he aimed it at them, but the sprinklers were dousing it before it could do any real damage.

And Riddick got the idea that Gabriel really wanted to do some substantial damage. He imagined thirty years in a pit without feeding would do that to a demon.

Gabriel shook a hank of wet hair off his face and gave Riddick a palms-up gesture. “She’s got to be on this floor somewhere. I can feel her energy.”

Riddick was about to tell the bastard to quit feeling his wife’s energy when the door to what looked like a tiny interrogation room slowly opened, and he caught a quick glimpse of Harper’s now-soaked curls.

Oh, thank you, Jesus.

His gaze moved over her quickly, assessing her for injuries. She had her hands lifted in surrender with a metal cuff dangling from one wrist, and she looked good and pissed off, but other than that, it seemed she was unharmed. He took his first solid, deep breath since he woke up in a cell without her.

Then he shifted his gaze past her and saw why she was so pissed off.

A guard was right behind with the barrel of a semi-automatic rifle pressed into her spine.

The guard was only a little taller than she was, dressed in military fatigues like all the other fuckers in the building, and he looked fidgety. He also had what looked to be a busted nose and a gash over his left eye that—if Riddick hadn’t missed his guess—had probably been caused by Harper’s elbow.

That’s my girl.

“Take that fucking gun out of her back now,” he snarled at the guard.

The guard’s eyes darted nervously between Riddick and Gabriel. “No way,” he said. “You’ll kill me.”

Gabriel nodded. “You’re right. I would. But he told me not to.” He turned to Riddick. “Have you changed your mind about that, friend? Should I go ahead and kill this one?”

Riddick mulled it over for a half second or two before Harper frowned at him and shook her head to indicate that, no, it was indeed not OK to kill the fuckwit who had the gun pointed at her. He sighed. “No. No killing.”

Gabriel looked disappointed for a moment, then said, “Fine, but just remember that you never said they had to be comfortable. Just not dead.”

And with that, Gabriel lunged at Harper, moving so fast he would’ve been invisible to the normal human eye.
