Stefano saluted and ran up the stairs ready to tell the two of them exactly what the needed to hear. It left Eric and Ryan there on their own. Eric stopped putting his hands up, â€œalright, alright, thereâ€™s no need for violence.â€ He said laughing nervously. Great now what. He thought unable to come up with anything other than telling the truth.<br/><br/>Taking a deep breath he could taste the newly freshened air and said, â€œThe woman from the dinner isnâ€™t my sister, sheâ€™s my partner.â€ He clenched his fists together to try and snap himself out of the delusion of getting out of this without getting shot. He was too far away and he guyâ€™s defenses were up, there was no way he would be able to get the gun away like that. Going on a leap of faith he continued.<br/><br/>The dull light cast shadows over his face hiding his eyes momentarily. â€œWe are part of the Shalona fleet. Iâ€™m a subordinate.  My officer is the woman at the dinner, my partner. The reason we came to this planet was for a top secret mission. I canâ€™t really explain it even if I wanted to, the information we got was a little vague. That is all I am able to say.â€ He said keeping to the truth. â€œNormally I would ask things of you but as it is I feel we are at your mercy.â€ As he said that he had placed both hands palms in against his sides and bowed halfway.<br/><br/>â€œMy only request is you call off your men, if it is who I think is upstairs then she is more that qualified to kill every one of them.â€ All of his will power was in those words. â€œI do not think it would be wise to attack her if sheâ€™s cornered, she has a way of doing things that most people donâ€™t expect.â€ Nothing of what he said he knew for sure here but he had a feeling it was true. There was a lot he had to learn about his partner but she seemed like the type to know how to handle herself in a fight. She got that far after all.<br/><br/>Straitening himself up, he looked into Ryans his blue and green peppered eyes were pleading, lively, and hopeful.  This was his last hope if Ryan didnâ€™t take it he didnâ€™t know what he would do, let alone how Kat would fare. These men were serious, sure the others were technically grunts but this man, he had a different air about him.<br/>-----<br/><br/>Stefano had opened the door and said, â€œThe chief gives us the all go. We can kill her; he wants the other one alive.â€ His eyes were greedy and dark as they stared at Kat. â€œI see the other one is dead, did she do that?â€<br/><br/>Marcelo nodded and smiled a deep smile. â€œThis is going to be fun.â€ He said advancing. His eyes were hungry as he pulled out a rather large knife. â€œCome here, missy. I wonâ€™t call you a bad name, thatâ€™s mean.â€ He said as he lunged at her. Benito was next and came up on her right flank. They were both going for but Stefano remained  behind. He was too much of a gentleman at least thatâ€™s what he thought.
