When Eric started moving again to follow whoever had been there she had not hesitated. She was still a little shaken by that, more taken by surprise of someone else being there than the ghosts in her mind, than anything but she quickly snapped back to her more serious and vigilant demeanor. When he asked for the device, it was given to him without hesitation as well. They followed the light trail of blood that had been left behind, taking care not to step in any of it. When guards were present again and obviously more alert than they had been earlier Eric used the device and guided her through areas of the sublevels she hadnâ€™t even known existed, keeping up right behind him all the way. This was not good, not good at all, and she was sure that they were thinking the same thing. Whoeverâ€¦ whatever was there was something they had to deal with.<br/><br/>And soon they had found what they were looking for and for some reason she felt it had been a bit too easy. Especially if this was who she thought it wasâ€¦ If it was, she was pissed that these idiot guards let their guard down around a man like him. Now that she knew what she was up against, not that she wouldnâ€™t have if she didnâ€™t know either way, Kat looked to the figure hiding out and gave a nod as Eric gestured for them to move in. As always she kept behind him.  Though she had not thought to take a weapon with her, she could use her fists if needed, there was a small pang of regret now and she wished she would have brought something.<br/><br/>It was a relief when Eric handed her one of his knives though the urge to use it was slowly staring to build. Despite this she only watched in silence as he moved in quickly, moving as fast as he had during that fight, and pinned Thomas against the wall.<br/><br/>Thomas let out a brief yell of surprise when he was jumped and looked at his attacker in the eyes, gaze falling to the knife after a moment with a smile. â€œWell shit, that was quick. A lot quicker than I had anticipated, guess I should have thought out my little escape plan better, but then again I wasnâ€™t expecting you. You Shalona fleet guys really arenâ€™t half bad after all. I feel like I should reward you or something.â€ He chuckled somewhat inwardly as he relaxed his posture. â€œSo what are you planning to do with little old me? I donâ€™t have to go back into that cold, dark room do I? The man guarding me wasnâ€™t even nice enough to give me something to drink. Iâ€™m still pretty parched.â€ He fell silent for a moment. Kat only watched the two men in silence while she kept the knife tight in her grasp.<br/><br/>She looked to Eric briefly before her own demeanor took a slight change; her eyes were distant, cold, and she held the posture of someone who was definitely more than willing to jump in and use that knife if it was needed. Since Kat had given Eric lead position she decided to let him call the shots here and just kept her distance silently. There were things she wanted to know personally about Thomas like why he was so familiar. And she also found it was a bit odd how nonchalant he was being about getting caught unlike the other day when he was about ready to piss himself. Compared to her impression the other day, this man was talkative, perhaps a bit too talkative, but it intrigued her a bit as to why.<br/><br/>And he seemed to answer that for her, â€œIs that you, Katherine? Iâ€™m surprised to see how much youâ€™ve grown over the past eight years. Though I am a bit taken aback that youâ€™re not the one pinning me to the wall considering we trained under the same mentor.â€ Thomas looked back to the man who held him hostage, named Eric if he was remembering correctly, â€œIâ€™ll guess that youâ€™re her new partner? Interesting.â€
