Eric’s gaze flicked to Ryan and he noted the irritation there. Kat had been the one to cause the trouble. He let out a long slow breath but didn’t say a word. He understood the position they were all in and opted to keep his big mouth shut no matter how much he wanted to tell her off. Then again he really wasn’t much to speak since he was practically leaving her on her own after this. He felt bad and in a way he was glad of Ryan’s attempt to lighten the mood.<br/><br/>At the mention of being gentle he arched a brow as if to say; ‘are you serious? This guy hates me.’ He had to admit the look Ryan gave the man and the others reaction to it made him smile slightly. It was something he missed about this life. Then again it was also something he hoped he wouldn’t have to go back to. He was reminded of the fact he would be under Ryan’s rule, and that was iron clad and there didn’t seem to be room for discussion. Part of him wondered what his position would be and he was, in some ways, worried about it but that was for another time.<br/><br/>When they left he looked toward Kat and listened intently to her words. He studied her body language and the way she said certain things. Something was bothering her that was for sure and he was well aware of the fact she had some pretty intense news to tell him. When she mentioned Tony he only nodded. He already figured that though the fact he’d left her alone, and that he was a double agent only piqued Eric’s attention more. Perhaps they could learn something from him or get something out of him. Being a double agent it might be harder than normal but there were ways to do it and he was sure between the two of them they could think of a few creative ones. He was in complete agreement with Kat though he didn’t know it; Tony was not to be trusted.<br/><br/>“I think I already knew that.” He said at the mention of the code. It wasn’t so much as knowledge exactly as in he had a gut feeling and his gut never really let him down. “I can’t really explain how but it doesn’t really surprise me.” He said reassuringly. He was not mad that she’d kept it from him and he didn’t blame her for it. “If our positions were reversed I would have done the same.” He added then bit his lip.<br/><br/>“Since you basically confessed something important I think I should also.” He started wondering how he was going to get it out. “I’m in trouble Kat. I mean I will be if I return to the military. I sorta…kinda…started a turf war.” He said moving slightly away from her. “It was between Adam and Ryan. I killed Adam and quite a few of his goons to help Ryan out of a tight spot. If I go back to the military and they find out about it…” He stopped not really wanting to say it out loud. The best case he would be court-martialed and have an ‘accident’ somewhere down the line. Worst case he would be made an example of. There have been no incidents of interference for years and here he did a big one.
