Eric watched with mild interest. He’d seen it before, the taking over of a new territory. When he was part of his old group they’d done it once…it was basically the same as here only on a smaller scale. He looked around watching the faces of all of them as Ryan took charge. He crossed his arms but held his knife at the ready. No one was going to keep him off guard. When people had slowly began to drift toward the ‘Square’ he pushed off from the wall pausing a moment to make sure he didn’t fall over.<br/><br/>He was not in good shape no matter what he looked like. It was taking his old tricks to make himself appear better than he felt. One hand casually brushed against his ribcage to test out how badly damaged he was. From the quick going over it was, bruised and that was it. If everything went alright this would be easy but there were always complications. He hoped none of them would show up otherwise it would be that much harder to get back to Kat. Just the thought of seeing her angry face sent a shiver down his spine.
