Nightshift 27: Courtyard
[ falling in from the northwest corner of the rec field ]
Riddick lay stunned, face down and breathing hard. He knew he was in very dangerous territory now, and very much alone. Something wasn't clicking for a moment though. Finally his thoughts pulled together. Force field. Fuckers. His left shoulder had taken a bad hit on the way down and felt like it might be dislocated. Hopefully that was all that was wrong with it.
The killer pushed himself up onto his haunches and turned so his injured shoulder faced the wall. He slammed into it, angle correct, force excruciating... and the shoulder was back in. He grunted, unable to hide the noise. His half-healed ribs were telling him they hadn't appreciated the fall either. He regained silence and waited for a moment, turning so he could see what was visible nearby... which wasn't much, considering he was pretty much behind a small building of some sort. For the moment he concentrated on breathing and trying to shake the rest of the shock out of his brain.
