Eric was crouched low behind a door he’d slipped through when he saw some more guards coming. He was still looking for the exit and getting very annoyed at the layout of the building. Why the hell would anyone want to work in a maze? He thought when he slid back to hide from a few guards running past him. He slipped out when the cost was clear and quickly ran down the corridor. He almost ran head long into another guard when he silenced him with a few short moves.<br/><br/>He was getting tired and his side was beginning to ache more but he had to keep moving. Meeting up with Kat and getting out of there was the most important thing they could do. The thought of that shadow, the shape and the way it had moved. He had thought it was Ryan, he was sure it was. He could tell that it was but part of him wondered if it wasn’t just wishful thinking. He let out a long sigh and went around the corner only to be met by a handful of guards heading his way.<br/><br/>Muttering a small curse he quickly backtracked and kept going not sure if they’d spotted him or not. It was when he heard the walkie go off did he realize, yep they spotted him. Running as fast as he could he tore around corners eyes scanning for anyplace that might be good to duck behind. He found one rather quickly and disappeared. The guards hadn’t been close enough to see where he went and he’d been lucky they hadn’t turned the corner yet when he changed direction.<br/><br/>He followed the path for a bit until he saw another guard. Ducking low enough so he wouldn’t be seen he started to make his way toward him. There was a twinge in his side as he moved that made him stop. The smell of blood coming to announce the treatment had been…temporary. He held his side and grimaced. Damn…they were either clever or that was all they had either way he was not happy now. He could still move alright but it hurt more. He stayed low until he saw the guard he’d been coming up to get tackled.<br/><br/>Staying quite he moved a little closer until a smile spread across his face. “What brings you here?” He asked quietly enough so Ryan could hear, not daring to say his name while the guard was still…alive or conscious. It was Ryan, he was sure of it and instead of staying in his shadow he got out so Ryan could see him at least. Holding his side he smiled and looked around a bit knowing the others would be there too.
