This really was becoming way more complicated than Ryan hoped it would be. “It really does seem that way, doesn’t it?” The more Eric spoke the more he was convinced that something was definitely missing, or that they might be over thinking things a bit too much. Either way he knew that everything here was connected in some way or another; it was just a matter of finding that missing piece. Once they did, he was almost positive that everything would make sense and they could get to the bottom of this mess. From what he could gather, a lot of information seemed to be straightforward; nothing seemed too obviously out of place, which did not help when they were trying to look for clues. Straightforward did not always mean useful. But Ryan was sure there was something useful here, and he had a feeling that he might know how to get to missing information.<br/><br/>Part of him wanted to mention he knew how they might be able to get information, but he liked that it was just the two of them. For now.<br/><br/>“I’ve got nothing…” Ryan said, sighing heavily. The more he thought about this, the more he was reminded of why he had decided to leave the military. He hated this kind of work. Staring hard at the documents for what seemed like an eternity, something had suddenly finally caught his eye. “Although, I do think we might be looking too much into it.” He looked to a specific part of the documents. At first glance it looked like just an old document, but he was sure that there was something more. “I think this one was tampered with a lot more than we thought. It even has the most redacted information, and if you look here,” he pointed at a few numbers that had a single paragraph near them, “it looks like someone tried a little too hard to cover up whatever they’re hiding.” There was not a lot of information, but it seemed shoehorned in.<br/><br/>Ryan smirked a little, “There’s always a weak link somewhere, someone who gets a little too nervous. Maybe we’ve found that here. What say you?” For a moment a thought crossed him, making him wonder if he should look at some of the old military records he had stashed away. Stolen records often held a lot more secrets, many of which were overlooked, it was never really known what could be found in them. He kept them around for fun, but maybe there was something useful. Perhaps later, he thought to himself. He was far too tired to do any digging around, and he wasn’t sure how useful his information would be anyway. There was a good chance none of it would be relevant. A note was still made in the back of his mind to take a look, whenever he and Eric were done here, just in case.
