Walter glanced at Eric out of the corner of his eye, “I can’t kill her, no, but that doesn’t mean I can’t have fun with her.” Kat couldn’t help but smirk a little at that, which seemed to only make things worse but at this point she didn’t care. This rivalry was something that he had held onto for far too long. Pride was always his downfall. His composure was almost completely gone, the more the past began to spill over, the words had really gotten to him. Or so she thought. Perhaps what Eric had said was making him falter more than the rivalry that had been between them. His full attention was back on Eric now, and he looked like he was about to prove something. Kat just sighed inwardly. Men. She thought of doing something to ease the situation, knowing she was the initial cause of the fire.<br/><br/>This had evidently gone a little out of hand.<br/><br/>“If you remember anything from our days in training, let me ask you this: Do you really think I’m afraid of you?” Kat said in a low voice. The glint was still in her eye, but there was also something dangerous in her countenance in general. She was hoping to keep Walter’s attention on her instead of Eric, hoping he would slip up, but her words seemed to fall on deaf ears. The man still held the knife at her throat as if he was going to cut her, but nothing happened. His attention was still right on Eric which was not what she wanted. Kat spoke up again, hoping to change that once and for all. “Have fun with me? Well, you know I do like to have fun… I bet you don’t even have the balls to use that knife. Go ahead. I dare you to slit my throat.”<br/><br/>“Not yours.” Walter said in reply. He backed away from Kat, moving towards Eric now. It could have been her imagination, but in Kat’s opinion Walter was being a little too careless with that knife. Perhaps it really was just for show and he didn’t have the balls to use it. “My boss insists that you are kept alive. I can’t disobey my orders, as tempting as it is to have a little fun. Maybe I’ll just have fun with your friend here instead.” She clenched her jaw, using every bit of willpower to not speak out and say something rash.<br/><br/>---------------------------<br/><br/>Nothing.<br/><br/>Ryan has searched a fair bit of the area, and has found no sign of Kat or Eric anywhere. Where could they have been taken? Whoever had kidnapped them was most likely very skilled. He was going to have to be careful.<br/><br/>“Ryan?” He turned to see one of his men approaching him.<br/><br/>“Have you found them?”<br/><br/>“No. But there is an area that is currently heavily guarded. There’s an entrance to an old building, off the beaten path. They have the same insignia on their jackets that Thomas was wearing.” The man gave a small smile, like he was a child in a candy store. “I think it might be worth checking out.”<br/><br/>Ryan took a moment to think about it. It might be worth taking a look, but he didn’t want to just storm in, guns blazing, and then find out that they were not there. Anything dealing with Thomas gave him bad vibes, though… “Alright. Lead the way, dear Kenneth.”
