Eric nodded at Kat and said, â€œI doubt that was a guard.â€ He got up and motioned for Kat to follow him. â€œWeâ€™re going to find out who that was, if it was someone at all.â€ He whispered pressing himself against a wall. Peeking over he went around and hopefully with Kat still behind him, followed the trail of blood. The guy obviously hadnâ€™t thought it prudent, maybe even, thought no one was following him.<br/><br/>In any case, Eric had grabbed the machine from Kat, asked for it first of course, and pushed a few buttons that helped him along. The thing was working perfectly, in a matter of minutes theyâ€™d be right on top of the person. He paused and then ducked into the shadows with Kat as a guard made his way down the hall. If he saw one more guard it would be all too soon. Muttering a curse under his breath he guided Kat along the different nooks and crannies. Obviously they couldnâ€™t use the hallways anymore.<br/><br/>As he reached the end of one he paused, there was a silhouette, someone was there. It didnâ€™t look like a guard, he was behind something. glancing at Kat he pointed ahead, wondering if he was crazy or if that was the thing they saw. But he felt like it was, it had to be. If not they just crept all over the blasted sub-levels for no reason.<br/><br/>Closing his eyes he put a finger and thumb to the bridge of his nose and pointed once more to the silhouette, indicating they should go over there. The figure seemed out of place and as he moved he thought he could recognize it, Thomas? Creeping forward he grabbed his own knife up his sleeve and held it out for Kat to take. There were two knives with him, one he was handing to Kat the other was in his other sleeve.<br/><br/>It was an old habit of his own, never leave the house without some sort of weapon, even if it as only a sharp pencil. He remembered how much the other guy cried when he stabbed him in the shoulder with that. No one things of the pen or pencil as a weapon but they could be very handy if given nothing else. Pushing that thought out of his mind he focused on the one in front of him.<br/><br/>His demeanor changed, much like it had when fighting before. It was almost catlike, predatory, as he stalked his prey. Eric paused only for an instant before signaling Kat and dashing out pinning Thomas to the wall. He really hoped Kat was right behind him if not, this was going to get interesting.
