Eric didn’t miss the undertone comment in his words. He knew what was hidden in them and it made him smile a little. He would make a good addition and he would have a lot of fun with it too. In his mind he made a mental apology to the old woman who’d straightened him out in the first place. There was a brief mental image of her beating him up again upon hearing of his return to that life. It made him shiver but he’d given his word.<br/><br/>He leaned back against the wall listening to the rest of Ryan’s words. The tone was not hard to miss and he didn’t blame him for it one bit. “I’ll do that. I’m also curious to know what they’ll think; when they find out I’ll be joining them soon.” He said with a small smile. In his mind he was thinking, if I make it that long. There was a lot to sort through and a lot left to do he wondered if they would be able to pull it off before they were all basically killed. The military was involved in this, he knew it he just didn’t get why. What purpose did they have to involve themselves? Shaking the questions off for now he watched Ryan leave and moved to follow.<br/><br/>Pausing in the doorway he held his ribs and let out a few short breaths. The pills must be wearing off because they sure hurt a lot more than before. He rested against the doorframe for a moment or two before heading downstairs. He plastered a smile on his face and joined in the fun, for a little bit. He would have to work some but he didn’t want to, not yet. He wanted them to enjoy their little party first; unless Ryan had already started inquiring.
