Ryan could not agree more. “You’re right. I think it’s time to call it a night, we can look at everything in the morning when we’re more awake.” Now that the second wind has worn off, he was starting to feel like his body would shut down and he’d fall asleep without warning. He wanted to keep going, he really did, there was something that didn’t sit well with him that he couldn’t put a finger on. Unfortunately he knew he did not have the energy to keep going, and he would be pushing himself too hard if he tried. Calling a night was probably the best thing right now. However calling it a night right here and now did lead to a small issue. Where the hell were they going to sleep? Ryan could sleep in his bed… but Eric… well… “Do you want to head back or spend the night here?”<br/><br/>--------------------<br/><br/>There was a lot of tension between the four men in the room. Ever since they got back with the woman, it has been nothing but excuses coming out of their mouths. Gregory, the leader of this little group, could start to feel a headache coming on, and it was slowly getting to him more and more the more they talked.<br/><br/>“What do you mean she’s still unconscious? Damn it, Harlan, how hard did you hit her?” Gregory homed in on the man named Harlan, looking like he was ready to tear him apart. “All three of you had better hope she wakes up soon… we need her.”<br/><br/>“I didn’t hit her that hard, I swear! I think she’s pretending.” Harlan replied hesitantly.<br/><br/>“Well then get her to cooperate.”<br/><br/>“If I remember Kat like I do, that won’t be easy. That woman is stubborn as all hell.” Another of the three men spoke up.<br/><br/>“Well, Walter, if you remember her so well then you can be the one to get her to share what she knows.” Gregory rubbed the bridge of his nose. If only Thomas were here, he’d know what to do about this situation. When he heard from a man he had on the inside that Thomas had been killed he knew he had to work faster. Part of him still wondered if the man had intended to get himself killed, and if so what was his big plan? He had managed to tear the Gendahl fleet apart, causing chaos to erupt, and tamper with a lot of important information that could very well destroy a lot of thing. They had also been stuck with order to capture Katherine, left for them prior to Thomas running out in the open so to speak.<br/><br/>“You’re the boss,” Walter sighed, looking to the man who had not spoken up yet. “I’ll need you to send out a message to a few of our inside men.” He handed him a slip of paper and patted him on the shoulder. It had been Thomas’s idea to keep in contact with one another the old fashioned way. Worked like a charm. The man nodded and was on his way.<br/><br/>Gregory grinned, “Good.” Despite the headaches they caused, these men could be trusted. The fact that they had turned against their own fleet and the entire military to fight for Thomas’s cause had been enough proof of their trustworthiness. “You’re all excused. I’ll get to work on plans B and C just in case she does not have everything we need. At the very least, she will be useful for… other things.”<br/><br/>The men nodded and were then off to take care of business.
