Riddick had to admit, she had guts. Memories of them from back then flashed across his face. â€œI seem to have left some sort of impact on you havenâ€™t I?â€ he smiled, she didnâ€™t know anything. Well she didnâ€™t know anything that concerned them, maybe her partner knew more. If that was the case he was going to have to get that information out of her. He paused when there was a knock on the door. â€œIâ€™ll be right back.â€ He said pleasantly to Kat. Turning away his face changed to a complete opposite of his attitude toward Kat. His manâ€™s eyes showed his uncertainty but he kept the rest under control.<br/><br/>â€œWhat do you want?â€ Riddick growled once they were out of the room. The man flinched and said, â€œWe have a problem, turns out her partner is dead. We found a dead body covering his description. We are bringing it in for analysis now.â€ It was the best news Riddick had heard all day, smiling from ear to ear he said. â€œGood work, now I just have to tell Kat the good news.â€ He looked down at his wardrobe and said, â€œThis is not good etiquette for special occasions.â€ He turned and started to walk to a room they, commandeered for their purposes.<br/><br/>The man nodded and let out a breath of defeat. There were times he wondered about his officer, he was psychotic and brilliant at the same time. It was a dangerous mixture he didnâ€™t care to be around often. Grasping the doorknob he walked in and almost stopped in his tracks.  He had been in the room only once before when she was alright, and then again when he went to grab Riddick, he hadnâ€™t even paid attention to the woman. Looking at her was one of the reasons he didnâ€™t like to work with Riddick. Shaking his head he walked into the bathroom and grabbed a cloth and some water. He set the bowel down on the desk next to her and with a sideward glance noted she was bound by handcuffs that drew blood from her wrists.<br/><br/>â€œIâ€™m sorry about this maâ€™am.â€ He said and stooped down with a cloth and began to carefully wipe away some of the blood grime off of her face. He was gentile and he figured she might take this as either a kindness or try to bite his fingers off, either way he wanted her to be alright. â€œThere are some bandages in my room I could get for you if you like.â€ His words were soft and he looked sincere. He really wanted to tell her everything but it wasnâ€™t the time.  Glancing back at the door he whispered in her ear, â€œbelieve nothing.â€ Standing he nodded at her and took the water and bowel away. â€œI want you to do something for me,â€ he said when he got back. Taking a seat across from her he said. â€œIâ€™m going to pretend to hit you I need you to play along if that is alright miss. I also need for you to play along act as if everything he says has an effect on youâ€ He said looking her in the eye.<br/><br/>Riddick returned looking like a completely different person. He had changed from his uniform to regular plain old jeans and a t-shirt. Smiling he said, â€œmy dear Iâ€™ve heard horrible news, it seems your partner is dead. My men found his body not that long ago. I am so sorry.â€ He said not meaning any word of it. It was great news, with the partner out of the way he would have no problem breaking her. Sitting down he said, â€œIâ€™m sure you will appreciate my concern for your well being, I just want to know a few things and then Iâ€™ll set you free.â€ Laughing in his head he thought of the many different ways to free her, well from her life that is.<br/><br/>------------<br/><br/>Eric was a little caught off guard when Ryan gave such a passionate kiss back after Eric himself had pulled away and apologize. To his surprise he practically felt the same thing Ryan had in that instant. It was as if all of his troubles had gone away. If it had been any longer he probably would have been lost to it. It was Ryan who pulled away that time. He felt the hunger in the manâ€™s lips and the way he had held him. It was almost like Ryan had changed to a completely different person than when Eric first met him. For a few moments he was out of breath and in order to tell Ryan his plan he would have to get it back.<br/><br/>It took a few minutes but once he got it he smirked and said. â€œIâ€™d say itâ€™s good, and you donâ€™t have to get into too much trouble with it either. Iâ€™m the one jumping out of the frying pan into the fire.â€ He stood up a little shakily till he got his balance and walked to stand beside Ryan. Keeping his voice down he said, â€œI am going to die, well not exactly but if there is someone you know who can deal with a type of drug it might work.â€ Turning to face Ryan directly he said, â€œI need someone of a small stature, someone who could fit the part of a member of the Gendahl fleet. We are going to infiltrate the hotel like it is just an ordinary building. It has to be someone who can play the part well. If I know anything about the Gendahl fleet they are vicious and even a little vane. They wouldnâ€™t think about damaging their own men. Youâ€™re men said they were everywhere right. We need to know how many there are in a group and how easy it would be to lure one of those groups away to be dealt with.â€<br/><br/>He sighed and began to walk back and forth. Stopping he smiled, â€œIt might be a long shot but I think I know where they might be holding her. You said that she was in the hotel Kat and I, were staying at right, well I think they might be ballsy enough to keep her in the room we got.â€ He was nervous and he really hoped Ryan would like the plan. It was minimal risk to him and it would keep him out of it as much as possible. Eric didnâ€™t want anything to happen to this man.
