The woman chuckled. “I couldn’t say for sure why. I feel as you do about Tony but orders were sent and I obeyed.” She turned back to face them the look Ryan was giving her made her wary. Kat and Eric she felt she could work with but Ryan was the wild card. Why did he have to be there? Eyes going to Eric, or maybe not. She thought when she saw him. He seemed to have a similar look to him that Ryan had though not as much.<br/><br/>Looking back to Kat she shrugged. “As far as the one giving the orders, I wouldn’t doubt his intelligence. For all we know he did that to make sure Tony was dealt with.” I don’t ask.” Her attention shifting when Ryan’s words cut through her thoughts.<br/><br/>She opened her mouth to speak out, those words cut out as searing pain washed over her, body collapsing to the ground. Jaw clenched tight, most of her scream muffled behind her lips. Eyes full of hate and fury turned toward Ryan. She could kill him yet, get revenge for what he had done. But, even with those thought she was a good little soldier and she would do nothing. She was ordered to help, ordered to make sure Eric and Kat got to where they were supposed to go.<br/><br/>“What the hell?” She seethed voice full of the pain she felt, the anger flowing through her. “I wasn’t….” Her words cut out as she sucked in a breath. Even small movements were bad. Dammit. Why? She could understand taking precautions but this was just ridiculous. She should have been more upfront, more open from the start. Perhaps, no she was sure even then Ryan may have tried something like this. She couldn’t be sure. He was, not easy to read. “I was sent here to help. Nothing more.” She said through gritted teeth.<br/><br/>Eric couldn’t believe it. He’d wanted to do something but this? There was a small grin on his face. His own eyes caught Kat’s. He’d ‘played’ along too though he had wanted to do something similar. Looking toward the woman who appeared like she would love to kill them all yet something was stopping her.<br/><br/>“Who sent you?” He knew she’d mentioned something but he wanted her to be straight. Survival was strong with her but he wasn’t sure how much or if loyalty was above that. “Why even bother with us?”<br/><br/>The woman shook her head a chuckle coming from her for a moment before the pain hit. “Afraid to disappoint but orders mandate silence, and this is nothing compared to what could happen with him. “She sucked in a breath, her words confusing Eric. He was to tired for all of this.<br/><br/>“I can tell you this, you know him; have for quite some time, and he doesn’t want you dead. Do not ask me why I don’t know. You are supposed to do something but I have not been given the details. I had my own mission before getting pulled.” Sometimes her teeth gritted as she spoke but it was all clear and understandable.<br/><br/>Eric took a few steps forward until he was beside Ryan. The woman looked to them then to Kat. “The only one we did not know about was him. Her eyes flicked to Ryan. Blood seeped from her fingers, hands going for something to stop the flow. She was getting cold.<br/><br/>The ‘him’ was pulling at Eric, who was ‘him’? The woman was growing pale and he could tell she was getting weak despite how she wanted them to see. Leaning in some to Ryan he turned his back to the woman, eyes going to Kat because he wanted her say as well. “What are we going to do with her?”
