Murdock laughed and shook his head. â€œIâ€™ll have to agree with you there. Though to be honest this look doesnâ€™t suit you.â€ He added a slight wink to show he both was kidding and his appreciation for it. He looked to Eric once again after the young man was greeted and couldnâ€™t help but smile. He really likes him doesnâ€™t he? He thought to himself as he moved a little closer to Ryan.<br/><br/>Eric nodded his head a bit enthusiastically to Ryan unable to speak. He could feel his cheeks redden slightly and wished slightly that Murdock wasnâ€™t there.<br/><br/>â€œNo, no, you are not late at all, I appreciate all you are doing. I will have to talk to the police down on the plaent. They wouldnâ€™t want to keep me waiting, besides, they owe me one also.â€ He smiled wide and said, â€œif you keep it up and I might be able to make everythingâ€¦disappear.â€ Murdock said patting Ryan on the shoulder. It was one of the things he had wanted to mention before but there were too many people to say it. â€œI thought it would be nice to give you a clean slate for everything you are doing for us.â€ He paused a moment and looked to Eric. â€œI am going to assume you know how to do this, under the radar of course, I cannot have any of my crew doing anything illegal.â€<br/><br/>Eric looked at his captain dumbfounded. Did he just hear correctly? Finding his voice he said, â€œyes it is possible but it will take me awhile, especially if I have a, tag along watching my every move.â€ He said wishing his heart would stop pounding so hard whenever he happened to look at Ryan.<br/><br/>â€œI see your point. Perhaps Ryan would like to remedy this? Your cyborg should be in the shop for a while until they can figure out what had happened to her so this is perfect.â€ Murdock responded partly answering Ryanâ€™s last question.  â€œAs far as you staying old friend, I thought it might be awhile since we have much to discuss.â€ He had caught Ryanâ€™s little hint and motioned to Eric. â€œI am assigning Eric to be your guide, he knows this ship inside and out, no one would be better than him.â€<br/><br/>â€œThank you sir.â€ He said looking to see if it was alright to start now.<br/><br/>Murdock chuckled and pulled Ryan aside a little. â€œKeep an eye on him and please try to behave. Heâ€™s already given me a headache with a runaway robot I do not need anything else.â€ He was relaxed, probably more than he should be but then again he was also growing tired. That incident with the robot was still being resolved even then. Smiling he said, â€œI will leave him in your capable hands then. Take your time, have some fun, weâ€™ll talk either tomorrow sometime.â€<br/><br/>Eric couldnâ€™t hear what they were talking about but he was sure it had something to do with him. It might just be his imagination but he couldnâ€™t help it. He really hoped Ryan would be alright, would the crew know to leave him alone or would Eric have to intervene? He had no idea. What was he going to do?<br/><br/>â€œEric, you might as well start. I will inform the crew to leave the two of you alone, there should be no more incidents like when you arrived. If there are problems do not handle them yourselves. Especially you Eric, you are in enough trouble as it is.â€<br/><br/>â€œYes sir.â€ Eric said saluting.<br/><br/>â€œAt ease.â€ Murdock said after he too saluted. â€œI will see you both tomorrow.â€ He left leaving Eric alone with Ryan for the first time in a while.
