They brought him to a small separate room but didn’t chain him just yet. “So we can do what we want huh?” The man who’d damaged him asked his friend. “That’s what we were told Trent.”<br/><br/>Trent looked down at Eric lying on his side a little blood seeping from the wound. “Wake him.” Before the other man could do that Trent said; “do it without damaging him Scott, we need him to be able to talk to us.”<br/><br/>Scott nodded and went to into a pouch at his side. He took out an herb and placed it near Eric’s nose. Eric’s eyes opened and he quickly backed away eyes stinging and side aching. “What the…?” He started when he saw the two men before him. His eyes began to water as he slowly stood his hand going to his wound to cover it up instinctively. “You woke me? Sure that was a good idea?” He asked with a small grin on his face.<br/><br/>“I think we will be alright.” Trent replied as he walked forward. “You killed a friend of ours. I think you know him; Jack?”<br/><br/>Eric closed his eyes and sighed. Great, revenge match. He really doubted this was the main reason for his abduction but it was there none the less. “You sure you want to do this?” He asked keeping his body relaxed; waiting for the right moment to strike.<br/><br/>“I’m sure.” Trent said as he threw another punch.<br/><br/>Eric dodged awkwardly out of the way only to be hit in the side by Scott. He cried out, he couldn’t help it, and collapsed to the ground. He spit out some blood and stood once more on wobbly feet. “We have to keep you alive, but that doesn’t mean we can’t damage you a bit.” Trent said a slight glint in his eye.<br/><br/>This went on for a few more minutes until Eric was leaning heavily against the wall his breathing ragged and his side bleeding more. His injuries from the street fight had pretty much all healed accept the side. This little beating was going to be the end of him if they were not careful. As if sensing this they easily grabbed his arms and bound them as he was half dragged half walked toward Kat’s room.<br/><br/>“We’ve got a friend for you.” Trent said as he walked in with Eric half dangling from one arm. He just tossed him in and let him lie on the ground hands still bound behind him with cuffs. Rolling over slightly Eric looked at Kat and tried to give her a grin but it looked like crap.<br/><br/>“Seems we got ourselves into some trouble again.” He said feeling guilty. He should have been there, he should have been of some help. It might have gone almost the same way but at least Ryan would have been there. “Sorry about this, I thought a nice stroll would do me some good.” He said hoping she would understand what he was saying. He was glad he’d partially hidden the pack, well he’d just dropped it but the only one who could open the touch pad was him. He may or may not have tampered with the settings to adhere only to his directions.
