â€œAgreed.â€ Eric said to both points. He was relaxed, sort of, as relaxed as he could be after hearing that message and standing next to someone who would kill him as soon as he let his guard down. Katâ€™s words drifted to his mind and he sifted through all of them, ordering them in his head and analyzing each one. She had a good plan; she was aware of the situation and wasnâ€™t letting her emotions get the better of him. Unlike he did, boy did he think that was stupid now. He arched a brow at her last statement but shook his head. â€œI do know of a place but I have no other plans, this was pretty much it.â€ His voice was just as low as hers, he too had heard it. all of his senses were on high alert for any and all noises.<br/><br/>â€œWatch him.â€ he said as he bent down, removed Thomasâ€™s knife, turned him over, and lifted him up putting him over his shoulder military style. With Tomas secure he nodded to Kat to follow. He had to be extra careful to not hit Tomas on anything, it was extremely difficult but he managed it somehow. Alright maybe Thomas had a few bumps and bruises because Eric wasnâ€™t a saint, he couldnâ€™t dodge each and every bump in the road. Once they reached the spot he had thought of, he rummaged around for some rope and then flopped Thomas on a chair, searching him first for any concealed weapons that he could use to get out of his bindings.<br/><br/>Taking the rope he tied Thomasâ€™s hands to the armrests, his legs to the chair legs, his chest to the back of the chair and his thighs to the seat of the chair. Each not as something different, but all of them were secure. â€œYou can check them if you like.â€ He said to Kat backing away from the man tied in the chair. Thinking about it for a moment before she went to check he pulled her aside, Thomas still in his line of sight. â€œWe donâ€™t have to torture him. He trained with you right? If that is true then he would know the same things you do, and he would be just as tough to break. I suggest we do something a little different. If you like you can follow my lead.â€<br/><br/>--------------------<br/><br/>Murdock was leaning forward in his chair, rubbing his temples when a knock came at the door. â€œEnter.â€ he said dropping his hands to lay in front of him crossed. â€œNews.â€ He said staring at the young cadet. She looked terrified at being there. Normally she was on the ground doing things, thatâ€™s why she was a cadet. â€œNothing yet sir, weâ€™ve searched everywhere but there is no sign of them.â€ She said her voice high pitched with nerves.<br/><br/>Shaking his head Murdock leaned back and sighed. â€œif youâ€™ve looked everywhere then theyâ€™d be found.â€ The cadet tensed, â€œyes sir.â€ She saluted, Murdock saluted back and she left. â€œWhy am I surrounded by idiots?â€ he thought, the only ones who seemed smart on this ship were, Dr. Samantha, Kat, Eric, and now Thomas.
