“Nice work, dear Eric,” There was a bit of a smirk on Ryan’s face as he watched the scene. There were a few guards still lingering outside, probably either looking for Eric or making sure everything was destroyed. Several of Ryan’s men really seemed to enjoy watching the robot do its thing. There were a few mumbled of agreement when Eric mentioned how fun it was, as well as a sense of wanting to join in the fun. A look from Ryan had kept them in their place, telling them to stay focused on more important things, and they obeyed. They knew better than to get on his bad side in a situation like this especially with Eric injured like he was. It was a miracle that they have not spoken up about that as well. Then again, it was yet another thing that was not needed and they were aware of that.<br/><br/>A quick signal was given when the guards looked away after noticing the robot.<br/><br/>The group moved as fast as they could with Eric injured. Ryan seemed to be in complete control right now. A look of concentration was on his face, moving in front of the group like any leader would, keeping an eye on everything, and if were to look in the mirror he’d probably be brought back to his days in the military. You can take a man out of the military, but you can’t take the military out of the man, that was something he heard someone say to him once. At the time he had laughed it off and thought nothing of it. Now, he couldn’t help it. This was a serious operation, he has not done anything this dangerous in a long time, he was pretty nervous, excited, among other things, so it was natural that he would reawaken that mindset just to survive.<br/><br/>After awhile, they came to a bit of a roadblock. “Shit… Stay down.” Ryan muttered in a low, soft voice as held up his hand and then signaled for the group to keep low. His military habits were definitely starting to come out a lot more now. His men seemed a little confused, but didn’t say anything and just followed along. Up ahead, he could see a few more men talking. The group also seemed to have Kat with them. She was bound by rope, hands behind her back, and unconscious, unharmed from the looks of things. He gestured for Eric to come and take a look. Here was where things were getting difficult. The smell of fire was more evident out here than it had been. He was sure it would draw the attention of firefighters or other authorities. People he’d rather not deal with if they were to go in.<br/><br/>“We could try to go for her, but we’re outnumbered. Any bright ideas?” He asked Eric once he was close enough. Personally, he wanted to leave her. He had Eric, and that was good enough for him… but he knew he could not. Not yet anyway.
