That was a good point. If they were handed everything then it would be too easy. So far, things have been anything but too easy. They had been through Hell and back trying to figure this damned thing out. Now, they were so close, all they needed to do was crack the code.<br/><br/>“The usage of ink does interest me quite a bit,” Kat nodded slowly, feeling her curiosity build. She was starting to fall into a state of mind where she was eager to keep going, in spite of how worn out she was. “Who would have thought that documents like this were still made…” The more she went through everything the more she wondered whether or not she could the code but looked confident nonetheless. Desperately searching the depths of her mind for that code, she paced a little, letting everything sink in, and trying to think of what that information could be about.<br/><br/>“I haven’t seen ink in a long time,” Ryan said. “There might be a place that still uses it around somewhere. This place has a little of everything.” He let out a sigh and folded his arms over his chest, furrowing his brow in thought. What he said was interesting, to say the least. “I’ll have to do a search, or have one of my men do it. That may take awhile.” He looked at Eric out of the corner of his eye and added, “If we want to rest, maybe we should have a few of my people look into it. I do have more connections than the mindless brutes you’ve seen, after all. What say you?”<br/><br/>“Sure… we really should rest.”<br/><br/>“Excellent. Should I call them now?” Ryan was pretty exhausted as well, it went without saying.<br/><br/>It was tempting to ask him to do what he could. But, on the other hand, as interesting as it was Kat wasn’t even sure it was worth the risk, if Ryan did call in some of his men. She was already on thin ice with them as well; it might not be wise, or else they might run the risk of something breaking out between everyone. That worry was constantly on her mind as much as she hated to admit it. So she took a moment to think about it, continuing to stare at the documents that were before them, hoping to find some kind of alternative.<br/><br/>Running a hand over her face, Kat nodded, “I think anyway that we can be subtle about it would be the best thing to do. We have Tony to worry about, after all, I don’t want him to find us and get in our business again.” She looked at Eric and said, “After all… I think we’re ok to rest, at least for the time being. Right?”<br/><br/>------------------------------------------<br/><br/>Tony was backed into a corner. On one end, he had that bitch telling him to get a move on, and on the other had a few other people he needed to report to.<br/><br/>Couldn’t they all be a little more patient? This work was delicate business, and hey, it wasn’t his fault that Kat was slippery. He would not deny that he had greatly underestimated her but he sure as hell deserved more credit. This was hard work. But instead of whining, he was just going to trudge through this. It would all be over soon.<br/><br/>He hoped.<br/><br/>“Yeah, yeah. I’m hurrying… hold your horses,” he grumbled. It took a hell of a lot not to add ‘<span style="font-style: italic">woman</span>’ at the end of that sentence.
