Since Kat didnâ€™t take anything neither did he. Keeping his attention fixed on Ryan he had the feeling they were in trouble. Eric didnâ€™t quite like the fact that Ryan was being so upfront about anything, at the mention of his father he looked like he got angry so Eric made a mental note not to bring up something like that, ever. The conversation was heading into dangerous territory for them and he got the impression that Kat was pretty much thinking the same as he was.<br/><br/>He couldnâ€™t quite get it here was a man who Eric guessed pretty much kept things close to the chest, telling them things he otherwise probably wouldnâ€™t have said. Since there were times his curiosity got the better of him he frown and asked, â€œWhy are you telling us all of this now, what purpose would it serve, if any. What is it about Thomas thatâ€™s got you so worked up over him? From what I could tell from the conversation we had before and the other one Kat and I had with those four guys, heâ€™s someone who knows how to manipulate people,â€ pausing he said, â€œI would think that a man of your stature would be able to counter that sort of thing.â€<br/><br/>The minute those words left his lips his mind sent out a warning to the rest of his body. It was telling him to quite while he was ahead or someone would get hurt. â€œIâ€™m sorry, I didnâ€™t meanâ€¦â€ pausing he tried to rack his brain for something anything to salvage this. He looked to Kat and gave her an apologetic look before he turned his gaze to Ryan once more. â€œI am really sorry, I did not mean to be rude. Sometimes my curiosity is a little overpowering.â€ He really hoped Ryan would understand if not he wasnâ€™t sure what would happen.<br/><br/>The door was knocked on and then a man pocked his head in. â€œSir, Angela is here, she said she has something important to tell you. She was quite insistent and started to make a bit of a scene outside.â€ He man looked to Kat and Eric frowning at them both. It was clear that he didnâ€™t approve of Ryan being alone with them but he didnâ€™t say anything to the boss about it.<br/><br/>A womanâ€™s voice was heard in the hallway, she sounded agitated and upset. â€œLet me through.â€ The voice said pushing the man inside, she didnâ€™t even wait for Ryan to say she could come it. â€œSir, I wanted to inform you of a certain someone, I found wondering down the street like they owned the place.â€ Angela said looking quite please with herself.<br/><br/>The man on the floor glared at her as he picked himself up. â€œYou want me to throw her out sir?â€ He asked hoping he could.<br/><br/>Eric watched with interest, glad that he was off the hook, for now.
