The remaining men stared at Kat with anger in their eyes. They looked like they were about to jump her, depending on how loyal they were to Ryan. She had seen how that man keeps his men in line. She could probably use that to her advantage here, and get what she came for. It if wasn’t here, and fell into the hands of the enemy, and if it turned out Eric was dead after all, she was going to owe Ryan an apology.<br/><br/>“You little bitch!” One of the remaining men said as he crouched down near the man she had shot, checking for a pulse. “You killed him… You fucking killed him!”<br/><br/>“He had it coming,” Kat replied. “Now, step aside or you’ll be meeting him soon.”<br/><br/>“Oh really?” One of the men laughed. “Well, when you get to the other side you can tell him how much we’ll miss him.” The other two men in the group cracked their knuckles threateningly. She wasn’t intimidated by their threats. Having been through this song and dance before, she simply did not give a shit. She instead had gripped her gun tighter. Her brow furrowed slightly as one man pulled out a knife. Was he really going to use that against her? These thug types were all the same.<br/><br/>She was about to shoot another man, when suddenly a familiar voice sounded.<br/><br/>“What’s going on?” Looking behind the men, she noticed Ryan standing leaned against the wall, arms folded over his chest. There were two others with him, heavily armed, looking like they were ready for war. He didn’t look too pleased about the situation. When he noticed the dead man, he frowned a little and ran a hand over his face. The look he gave his men afterward made them cringe. When he noticed Kat, he let out a sigh, “You didn’t have to cause a scene, you know. I’m assuming you’re here for Eric?”<br/><br/>Kat nodded slowly. “That’s right.”<br/><br/>“Fine, come on. I’ll take you to him.”<br/><br/>She could tell Ryan was pretty upset about her killing one of his men. It was probably a stupid move, now that she thought about it, but she really didn’t care. She would apologize to him later. Right now all she cared about was speaking with Eric. Hopefully he leaned something about Tony, and why the military was involved with all of this. Also, he needed that code… and she had a lot of explaining to do.<br/><br/>Once they got inside the hideout, Ryan was the first to speak up, “It wasn’t anyone looking for a fight. It was just Kat.” He then brushed past everyone and went to where Eric was.
