His hands relaxed as he heard Ryanâ€™s words. Wow, they really did come from different backgrounds. He had chosen his life in the military because he was tired of all the bull at home whereas Ryan had chosen the life he was in now. It put things into a bit of a perspective. He did have to admit, there were times he missed the streets, he did miss some of the people but not very much. A smirk touched his lips when Ryan had mentioned killing his father, that didnâ€™t seem like such a big thing to Eric, then again what happened to his step-mom brought a smile to his face. Morbid yes, but true all the same.<br/><br/>Looking to Ryan he recognized the crappy position he was in. He had no choice but to be there or risk jail time. Then again, he had a feeling Murdock wouldnâ€™t have jailed Ryan anyway. If it hadnâ€™t been for the presence of the rest of the crew he could picture Murdock letting Ryan walk away with nothing in return. He wasnâ€™t going to voice any of that, he didnâ€™t think it appropriate.<br/><br/>He too didnâ€™t wish to talk about the past anymore, it brought about to many memories he wished to forget. Releasing his death grip from the railing he went to Ryanâ€™s side using one of his fast footed tricks from the streets. He wanted to surprise him and if he just walked up to him that wouldnâ€™t be much of a surprise, then again this was Ryan he probably saw him coming anyway. Making himself a little taller he planted a kiss on Ryanâ€™s lips. â€œIâ€™m tired of talking, the past is past right? Iâ€™m just glad to have met you.â€
