Eric didnâ€™t say a word as Kat took a place beside him. He had heard her words and had planned to tell her about that after they were out of there. Looking up at Ryan he smiled one of his best smiles and said seriously if not somewhat playfully, â€œIâ€™ll keep that in mind.â€ One more bow and he followed Kat out of there. He was relieved even though he thought a little more highly of Ryan as more than just a leader of thugs. Stefano and Marcelo followed their leader back down the stairs.<br/><br/>He walked silently beside Kat for a while until she spoke. With both hands behind his head as he walked he laughed a little. â€œI donâ€™t know about that it seems Ryan, the one who stopped the others, has taken quite a liking to me.â€ He let his laughter subside and said more seriously. â€œI will keep you in mind the next time I think about it. I â€˜m not used to having a partner actually come and get me. Normally I have to get out of things myself.â€<br/><br/>Gazing up at the sky he sighed and took in the nice cook air. It was nice out there and he almost didnâ€™t want to go back to the hotel. â€œI plan on explaining everything once we get back to the room. It might pique your interests at what I learned.â€ The events of the day flipped through his mind like a book and he organized them accordingly. It was going to be an interesting discussion when they got back.<br/><br/>It didnâ€™t take as long as Eric thought to get back, it had seemed like forever when he had left with the goon squad but no it was like no time at all. The manager was standing in open front door glaring at them both. â€œDo you have any idea what you have done.â€ He started but Eric cut him off, â€œIt will be just fine.â€ He pulled some money out of his pocket and gave him what he thought was an adequate amount and said, â€œThis should be enough right?â€ The managerâ€™s mouth went wide and his eyes gleamed greedily. â€œThat would be plenty, have a wonderful night.â€  He had said and took his spot behind the counter again counting out the money.<br/><br/>Eric glanced over at Kat and shrugged giving her an â€˜I donâ€™t knowâ€™ look. Whistling he put his hands in his pockets and walked to the room pausing to let Kat in when she walked over. Sitting down on his bead he faced Kat and said, â€œI think I know who the guy weâ€™re looking for is. Well at least his name, Thomas. It is what Ryan said to the men, he was asking about where he was. Apparently he has gone missing. It could be nothing, but for all we know Thomas is in something deeper than we thought and heâ€™s laying low. My guess is Ryan and his gang find him before we do. What do you think our next move should be?â€ He had gone completely into serious mode as he spoke, something off about his normal persona but this was a job and he took them seriously.
