Ryan could feel himself tense slightly as Eric neared him but he only looked at the man out of the corner of his eye since he was more focused on killing Thomas. The man has done quite a bit of damage, the man was quite the manipulator and he knew how to use people as well. Off of the top of his head, he could think of quite a few people who wanted him dead not just because he screwed them over but because he was just bad company all around. The man was a leech, a cheat, a thief, so many things that it made his blood boil. He didnâ€™t doubt that this man had some dirt hidden away and he had half a mind not to give a shit about it and just kill the man. Problem solved right? No. There was definitely something hidden away in that manâ€™s mindâ€¦ and honestly the thought of getting it out of him made his face light up for a moment.<br/><br/>Even if you only work for Gendahl fleet for a few years, it does grow on you and you learn some very interesting torture methods. Both Ryan and Kat knew this well, Kat especially. But Ryan has twisted those methods to his own liking and combines some older methods as well. Sure, he may just seem like another thug on the street running a group of men with big muscles but there was definitely something different about Ryan and that was why his enemies feared him the way they did. Oh he would make Thomas talk alright assuming the man did have any useful information. A smile crept onto his lips that made Kat cringe at first but she quickly regained her composure to continue keeping her leader role, watching the two men carefully. She honestly didnâ€™t trust Eric being that close to him, fearing that Ryan may very well just pull a knife on him.<br/><br/>Then again lies and betrayal was all she knew most of her life and it has turned her into an overly skeptical woman. She took a deep breath, hoping whatever Eric said to Ryan would get them out of here faster. Despite looking a bit more collected, deep down she was still absolutely terrified and really didnâ€™t want to stick around here anymore. However instead of voicing any concerns she had she only remained quiet. Kat trusted Eric enough by this point, hoping that he had come up with a better plan than she probably would think up at the moment.<br/><br/>The silence between everyone was somewhat unnerving. Not even Ryanâ€™s men said a word and she couldnâ€™t help but sit back a bit further against the couch, tense, almost expecting Riddick to come kicking the door down any moment, covered in blood, bloody knife in his hand- No, she immediately shook those thoughts away. She had to keep her leader role, keep herself together, lest she actually, assuming they get out alive, be seen as an unworthy partner in Ericâ€™s eyes. She was so sick of that so she kept her facial expression as neutral as she could. Running her fingers through her hair, she took a deep, rather painful breath and let it out slowly to help maintain that said neutrality.<br/><br/>â€œVery well, gorgeous,â€ Ryan said finally, lowering his gun and pulling the gag out of Thomasâ€™s mouth. The men that were restraining him continued to do so. â€œIf you think heâ€™s hiding something then letâ€™s find out what he has to hide. Iâ€™m warning you now, though, if he proves to be useless I wonâ€™t hesitate to kill him and feed his rotting corpse to the wolves.â€<br/><br/>Just then another man knocked on the door before entering the room. At first Ryan looked annoyed towards being interrupted again, but he didnâ€™t tell the man off. â€œSir,â€ the man began. This one was different from the other goons Ryan was in control of; there was something moreâ€¦ military about him that made Kat wonder if this man was also a former member of Gendahl fleet or perhaps another lost fleet like Ryan. Or this man could just have more experiance than the other goons, â€œI deeply apologize for the sudden intrusion, but a few of the others have reason to believe that this Riddick character is on his way here. Someone squealed, apparently, weâ€™re looking into it now. How shall we deal with him?â€<br/><br/>â€œHold him off, of course. But be careful,â€ Ryan said after thinking for a moment, â€œfrom what these people tell me heâ€™s not to be taken lightly.â€ With a nod the man was off. Looking back to Eric, Ryan spoke again, â€œI sure hope youâ€™re right about this man. If not we all might very well be pretty screwed.â€
