There was a small part of Ryan that felt relieved that Eric suggested they retreated. If there was something else they could do, he had a feeling Eric would definitely have known. “Alright.” He said with a glance over his shoulder at his men. If they were going to protest, the look on their leader’s face was enough to keep them their mouth shut. It would take some serious balls to speak out against Ryan whenever he got into his military mode. It was one of the reasons he has been the leader of his gang for as long as he has. “My best tracker would be Alfred. He has always served me well.” The man tensed a little when he heard his name called, giving a nod to confirm that he was. He didn’t look like much compared to the rest, he was a tracker after all, but he was pretty trustworthy.<br/><br/>“At your service” Alfred smiled a little and mock saluted. “Is there anything specific you need of me?” Though the answer was obvious, Alfred liked to hear specifics.<br/><br/>“Not at the moment. Just follow them, and report back to me anything that you find.” Ryan said in response which sent Alfred on his way. The man slipped out of sight right when the vehicle the enemy was using was driving away. He really did not want to deal with this… but it was for Eric, not to mention Eric really did have a point. There was a lot on the line and he could not just abandon her. Fucking military. Getting caught up in this shit was bad enough, but knowing that it was his ass on the line as well was a little irritating. The best he could do for now was rough it out and hope for the best. He knew how tough Kat was; the look in her eyes when he first met her was still engraved in his mind. There was little worry of them breaking her.<br/><br/>Letting out a slow breath, he looked to an alley, “Let’s head back to the hideout for now. If we’re quick enough, we shouldn’t run into too much trouble.” Turning his attention to Eric, he couldn’t help but smirk a little. “Do you think you’ll be able to hold up until then, or do we need to have someone carry you?” He was positive it was obvious to Eric and his men that he wouldn’t mind carrying him. To some it might seem like it, but he would not view it as an inconvenience. Hopefully it wouldn’t have to come down to it. In the short time he has come to know Eric, it was obvious he liked to do things himself so he was sure he’d manage. Coming from the streets, that was understandable. Once they were back, though, he would get him some medical attention and let him rest immediately.
