Eric paused when he thought heâ€™d heard a nose. Dropping to a crouch he strained his ears to see if it came again. The walls may be made for a ship, but some of them were easy to hear from. â€œDid you hear that?â€ he whispered not daring to say anything louder than that. It had been awhile since they had been in the sublevels and already theyâ€™ve had to bypass a few guards. This had to be the area where they were keeping Thomas. Looking in the direction he had assumed the noise came from he pointed down that way to Kat then put a finger to his lips. Standing in a half crouch he went to the wall and stuck his ear to it. Nodding his head he pointed to the wall then indicated the thing he had built. Holding up his hands he indicated how far away it had to be in order to work and yet be silent.<br/><br/>It was his masterpiece if he did say so himself, though he hadnâ€™t pulled it out of his assâ€¦to his disappointment. Heâ€™d had the parts awhile and had even planed how he was going to put it together, the only problem was he hadnâ€™t had time to do it. Glancing up he pulled Kat into the shadows as a guard came down the hall. How he hadnâ€™t noticed the two of them made no sense to Eric but then again some of the men they hired for guards werenâ€™t all that bright. Nodding his head he whispered right in her ear, â€œsorry.â€ Edging a little further out of the crevice he peered out and motioned for her to follow. The guard was standing where they were going to go and silently Eric came up behind him, grabbed him around the throat, covered his mouth, and put him to sleep. When the guy woke heâ€™d have a splitting headache.<br/><br/>Looking at Kat he pointed to another one facing the other way in the same sort of stance as the first one. If he turned around it would be the end of their little adventure.<br/>--------------------<br/><br/>â€œOf all the incompetence, how the hell could you let them slip through your fingers like that?â€ Murdock shouted at a very terrified security attendant. He was furious, they had finally gotten the robots under control but neither Kat nor Eric were anywhere to be found. â€œIf they get off this ship, or go to any of the secure sections of the ship it will be your head.â€ He said as he walked out and went to his office.
