He hoped they could find out. If it was who he thought, that man had a way of making information and or people disappear. Thomas came to mind, it seemed only those close to him or who had been there knew. The crew were in the dark as far as he knew though that was not a sure thing. Eric had never been good at understanding that man. Shifting gears he went to Kat and nodded his mind refusing to accept what he felt in his gut.<br/><br/>“Possibly? This has all been meticulously planned and swept under the rug. To make a blunder like this doesn’t make sense.” He said looking over the pages again. Ryan was quiet and he couldn’t see why not. Fingers clenching to fists he frowned at the words leaving Kat’s lips. Thomas, the one who’d given them nothing but grief. He was not the bad guy? He was going to expose a deep secret?<br/><br/>Closing his eyes Eric shut everything out to think. The puzzle seemed to be growing yet he had a feeling it was not actually. Kat and Ryan may feel it too but he knew he at least was not yet ready to face the implications of what that may mean. Opening them slowly he had been able to acknowledge what Kat had said about Thomas. It pained him to even consider but it did make sense, she wasn’t crazy. As much as he could he forced his focus to them and was going to put in a few words when the intrusion happened.<br/><br/>His hand would have gone to a knife when he remembered where his things were. To think it was already at Ryan’s, everything he’d brought, well most of it. Some of it was back on the ship. Eyes following the men if he’d thought they were going to be more he would have lent a hand. “Agreed.” Eric said feeling like a rat in a maze always searching for a way out. Going to Ryan he ripped off a small strip of cloth from his shirt, it was long enough to be able to do that, and bound Ryan’s gash. He did it quickly and efficiently no reason to fuss, it wasn’t as deep as he’d been concerned about.<br/><br/>The three of them wouldn’t be able to take everything so Eric did a scan of what he could before grabbing the rest with Kat and Ryan. For what had to be left he destroyed. They were copied already and he made a few backups and copies just in case. He had no idea where they were going to but was growing tired of running. T wasn’t what he wanted to do and he wondered what the others thought about it.<br/><br/>Following close to the others he was grateful to be doing something. It may be awhile before they get answers; damn he hoped not. A slow frown touched his brow when he spotted a woman standing in their way. She didn’t look threatening nor did she move when they got closer. “You will not find the answers you’re looking for by running away.” She said which made his frown deepen.<br/><br/>“Unfortunately Tony figured out too much and got himself killed. Shame really, for someone trained by Thomas he could have done so much more.” She said casually leaning against the wall in that narrow back alley. Should you they attack she may run, though if they used for her…the news of Tony’s passing didn’t really phase him because he didn’t know the man but this woman’s words piqued his curiosity.<br/><br/>X X X X X<br/><br/>Not long before the intrusion…<br/><br/>“What do you want me to do?” She asked the holographic image of her leader. He looked agitated and when he got into a mood sometimes her mission were a pain. Tony was dead and they had no intel on what he’d told the killers before he passed.<br/><br/>“Go to them and keep an eye out. I do not want anymore harm, well any needless harm to come to them. Find out what they know, how much and report in when you can.” His tone became dark, “do not let them push you out.”<br/><br/>She nodded slowly, pain indeed. She would have to give them a name, she doubted V would do it. Five was not a name. “I will keep you informed.” She said letting him terminate the call. Standing she came up a few names but her favorite was; Vivian.
