At Ericâ€™s comment about Thomas being a manipulator, Kat could see Ryan tense a bit and she couldnâ€™t help but wince slightly. She was half expecting them to be killed right then and there and just to be on the safe side she moved her hand closer to her gun for security but did not make any move like she was going to remove it from its holster. However, Ericâ€™s little apology seemed to do the trick and the man returned to a calmer state and smiled at the two faintly. It was the strangest thing, and she made a mental note at how quickly the man was able to change moods.  If things were to get out of hand she wasnâ€™t sure how well it would go. For now she decided to play it safe and hope for the best, hope to get them out of there safely. Though from the looks of things, whenever Eric spoke, the man seemed to listen more to him. Maybe she should let him talk a bit more from here on out, maybe they would have a better chance at surviving.<br/><br/>Ryan looked like he wanted to say something, but there was a knock on the door suddenly and a man peered in the room. He glared at the man and spat, â€œCanâ€™t you see Iâ€™m in the middle of something!?â€ But before the man could respond, a woman came barging in the room explaining that she had seen someone strutting around the place like it was theirs. This seemed to intrigue Ryan, who raised an eyebrow and snorted. Katâ€™s own curiosity was beginning to rise though she did her best not to show it too much. â€œReally? Someone has the balls to come into my territory and act like they own it? If this is the case then why are they not dead, Angela?â€<br/><br/>The man standing by the door looked about ready to throw her out but Ryan raised his hand to stop him. He then looked to Eric and Kat with a slight look of disappointment before he stood from his seat again with a sigh. â€œThis is unfortunate. Lucky for you, since I seem to be the only one who gets things done around here,â€-he glared at Angela and the man by the door-â€œit looks like I have things I must deal with so this conversation must be put on hold.â€ There was only slight annoyance in his voice when he spoke; his tone was somewhat grim and his facial expression mirrored his annoyance in a sense. He went towards the door before pausing and looking over his shoulder, smiling mostly at Eric, â€œOh, but donâ€™t think youâ€™re free to go. Iâ€™m not finished with you.â€ With that he left the room and left Kat and Eric alone.<br/><br/>Once the man was out of sight Kat, who let out a sigh of relief, releasing all her bottled up emotions in one breath, glad that was done and over with. Shortly after she did so she immediately looked to Eric and spoke in a low voice so only he could hear her, â€œI think thatâ€™s our queue to leave.â€<br/><br/>She stood from the couch and looked for any possible exit but they were all heavily guarded.  She sighed and thought for a moment. They could always fight their way through, very easily, but from the looks of things they were significantly outnumbered. She did not doubt their fighting skills, they were clearly exceptional fighters. Playing it safe was the best bet for nowâ€¦ then again what if they stayed? As much as she did not like the idea she couldnâ€™t help but wonder what would happen to them once Ryan returned from taking care of whatever business he had to take care of. On the other hand she didnâ€™t want to find out since he was essentially giving them the choice to leave despite the guard. Perhaps he was testing them, the possibility of that also stood. Either way she didnâ€™t like it and knew there had to be a way out somehow.<br/><br/>If there was she would definitely find it. Right now, she just needed to get her head together and think of something. The thought of taking in so much responsibility and letting old habits do the talking again made her chuckle to herself. She just brushed it aside by looking at Eric, speaking somewhat playfully to help her ease the mood more, â€œUnless you really do want to stay here.â€
