So this was it. Honestly Kat also believed that there was no way of getting out alive; they were only delaying the inevitable. It pissed her off so much that she couldnâ€™t do anything to come up with a plan to get out and the more she thought the more frustrated she became. She kept quiet on the couch, moving over slightly when Eric came to sit back down, not daring to say a word. Her hands were shaking again and her mouth felt dry. For the first time in a long time she was indeed feeling scared for her life. Kat was always someone who jumped in, guns blazing, not really caring if she got through something or not. Since she was dealing with a man like Riddick, that all was changing, probably because she knew their chances of getting out of here were slim to none. Maybe she really did deserve what was probably coming to her and as for Eric, she was beginning to feel that he deserved a better leader, someone who could keep it together better than she could.<br/><br/>She was feeling like a complete failure right now. Briefly, her mind went back to the hotel, and she wondered if all this could have been avoided if she could have brought herself to kill Riddick. Maybe she was afraid to kill him though she very well could have. Then again if it was known that she killed a captain, rogue or not, that would not look good for her. Perhaps she had been taking her job into consideration more than her fear or confidence that she and Eric could leave like nothing happened. But even thenâ€¦ maybe she should have killed him. Her mind ran circles almost as if scolding her, she shut it out as best she could and focused on what was going on in the room.<br/><br/>Thomas was not saying anything at all. The man looked terrified, even more than she was at the moment, and it made her wonder just what the man was hiding herself. He seemed to be shutting everything out and focusing just on her as well. Kat couldnâ€™t help but wonder if she really did know this man from somewhere; the more they kept looking at each other the more she was convinced. What bothered her was she could not place her finger on how she knew him, or even where she could know him from. Was he a member of the fleet? She barely remembered her time with Gendahl fleet, so was he with Shalona? It was all confusing to her but she definitely knew him from somewhere. The thought of voicing that crossed her mind but suddenly another one of Ryanâ€™s men came into the room.<br/><br/>Ryan had been interrogating Thomas at the time even if the man wasnâ€™t talking when the man came in. The look on the manâ€™s face said it all and Ryan leaned in to whisper in the goonâ€™s ear. More whispering, great, but this time Kat could have sworn she felt her skin crawl when a familiar voice was heard. When the man was sent off she was relieved. But she couldnâ€™t help but grab a pillow sitting on the couch, gripping it tightly as Ryan spoke to them, â€œJust as I suspected, the man seems useless. However, since it appears weâ€™re out of time maybe we can get some last minute information out of him.â€<br/><br/>Kat took that as a good time to voice her own concerns, â€œI think I know him from somewhere as well. I donâ€™t remember, but I know Iâ€™ve seen him before.â€<br/><br/>â€œYou might want to hurry up and spill it. Your friend is probably mowing down my men right now as we speak.â€<br/><br/><br/>------<br/><br/>â€œOh so thatâ€™s where she had gotten to,â€ the man who was sent to hold Riddick off said when he glanced at Angelaâ€™s condition. His eyes were distant when he got a good look on her. â€œI donâ€™t understand why you brought her back to us alive. Obviously sheâ€™s useless if she lead you here; you should have just killed her or left her for one of the other gangs to pick off. Nevertheless I do appreciate you bringing her back to us. She has served us well despite being so useless.â€ He suddenly pulled out his gun and finished her off, trying his best not to wince since he knew he was going to catch hell from Ryan for killing her later. But Ashton was not someone who acted out if he didnâ€™t know what he was doing. He was told not to take this man lightly and so he would not.<br/><br/>After shooting Angela, his gun remained at his side. He looked around to the men that accompanied the rogue captain, smirking slightly. â€œWith all the commotion that woman made, I was expecting a one man army storming in through here. Iâ€™ll admit Iâ€™m a little disappointed to see you have company with you. Are that woman and that man really that dangerous?â€ Despite the nature of the question, Ashtonâ€™s face was kept neutral. He has seen a rogue captain only one other time before, and he had killed the man with his own hands, which ended up getting him kicked out of the military. Rogue captains were something the military would rather deal with on their own terms and not have soldiers eliminate them, oddly enough. He knew better than to make small talk, but he also wanted to stall some time. He sure hoped Ryan knew what he was doingâ€¦ honestly he wasnâ€™t sure if he could hold this man off for long.<br/><br/>Suddenly another man stepped into the room and tapped Ashton on the shoulder. The goon whispered in his ear before backing off and getting away as fast as he could.<br/><br/>â€œLooks like the boss has given you a personal invitation,â€ Ashton said, turning his attention back to the man standing before him. He tried his best not to show his concern for his bossâ€™s decision. What the hell was that man planning? Did he have a death wish? He has given up trying to figure Ryan out years ago, but the man was like a brother to him and he wasnâ€™t about to let him throw his life away like this. Nevertheless he did his best to keep calm.
