The two men smiled as they stared down at Eric gasping for breath. They didn’t knock him out when they picked him up and began to carry him to their favorite place. His feet dragged behind him and his held lolled forward. They had him by his arms which would do nothing to help him. A few doors down from where Kat and Tony hid the two men unceremoniously tossed Eric inside.<br/><br/>Closing the door they locked it. The one man had a limp from where Eric had kicked him and Eric knew that limp would be there for a while unless it was treated right away. “You might want to get that looked at.” He said crossing his arm across his chest. He was testing his ribs; none were broken only bruised. If he could breathe out a sigh of relief he would but right then he had to deal with these two.<br/><br/>The man smirked and in the most clichéd of all moves he punched his hand indicating he was going to pummel Eric to death…mostly. He had heard what their boss had said; he was wanted alive. Using the wall for support he stood and faced the two men. “You got me out numbered but without that sneak attack you really think you can beat me?” He asked knowing he really wasn’t in any condition to fight…not at full capacity.<br/><br/>He really hoped Ryan got his message. Though the man had said Eric left Eric really hoped the man also found that note…it explained everything…at least as much as he could given the short period of time he had to write it. The contents basically stated; ‘I don’t want to risk open war with you or your men and Adam. It is better if they all believe it is the work of the military. There should be no association with you or anyone you know or have contacts with. It will seem as if I am there all by myself. The outlines of the robots should help you out in the future I’m sure if I don’t see you again.’<br/><br/>It also went on to say something along the lines of he hoped Ryan didn’t hate him for it and that one day he considered leaving the military for a change of scenery…if he made it out of all of this alive. Pulling himself back to reality Eric let out a few breaths and said; “If you’re going to do this make it quick I have to get going.”
