Eric opened his mouth to answer but was shocked when Tony did it for him. A small frown formed across his face but he said nothing. If anything it looked like he was disappointed in not being able to relay the message whereas in fact he was suspicious at how readily Tony had answer. Who was this guy and what was he doing there? Eric was glad Kat felt the need to question him about it later but he was bursting to know. He was also curious how he was going to get a message to Ryan and thank him for everything.<br/><br/>“Once we leave the territory I’ll go on ahead. I want to be sure we have everything. There are some things I stashed I’d like to look in on too.” He looked toward Kat. “I’ll be fine on my own honest, this isn’t the first scrape I’ve been in where I’ve turned out like this. I’ve managed before and I’ll manage again.” In his eyes he spoke of recon for Ryan. If the guy was still around he didn’t want Tony near him.
