In the back of her mind she knew Eric was right about fighting their way through the men not being a good idea. There were just too many and they were only two people and heaven knows Ryan probably and more men lurking about the streets once they were free so the word of their escape would be out faster than they knew. More than likely resulting in both of them being thrown in some room again and not ever leaving this planet alive, she thought to herself, rubbing her eyes while she thought. There were so many things running through her mind and her old habits were slowly crawling to the surface to hinder her rational thinking. Call her crazy, but it was almost a bit intensifiedâ€¦ She wasnâ€™t sure what to say when he suggested that one of them stays behind. Perhaps this was because she had not really expected him to agree that there was something off here.<br/><br/>â€œSo you feel it, too? It practically drips off the walls,â€ She said, sitting back on the couch. For a moment she just looked down and closed her eyes. Her trigger finger was saying to march out of that door and kill everyone outside but she kept her cool. There was no use being reckless, especially when it came to this gang. Sure, the goons themselves were incompetent but Ryan was not like them at all. There was almost a sense of fearful respect that she felt for the man. â€œI felt there was something off the moment he brought us here instead of the hotel but I didnâ€™t want to bring it up in case I was wrong. I guess nowâ€™s the time to bring it up.â€ She paused for a moment then looked at him, â€œDo you think Ryan seemed a bit nervous to you when he was speaking to us?â€<br/><br/>It could be just her. Maybe Eric had caught it as well, or maybe she was just reading the man wrong. Either way she wanted his opinion. They were in this together after all, and she reminded herself again that this was one partner she did not want to lose. She couldnâ€™t live with herself if that happened and that being said she wasnâ€™t sure how well to take the whole one of them stays behind thing. Kat thought deeply on that one, making sure that she made the right choice.<br/><br/>Ryan seemed to like Eric more than he liked her so it was likely that Eric should stay behind while they searched for her and brought her in. Then again what if he got hurt for helping her escape? She did not doubt the manâ€™s cruelty in that sense. Or worse, what might happen to her instead if she got caught. And even when she escaped, where would she go? There was a chance that they would have the city locked down so it wasnâ€™t like she could run back to the hotel, grab her assault rifle, and head back quickly to come get Eric. She might not have another choice though, as she desperately searched her mind for alternatives. Taking a deep breath herself she looked at the floor again and exhaled softly. Playing leader for a partner who she gave a damn about was difficult.<br/><br/>It was almost funny, but at the same time this situation was serious and she would do her best to be as professional as possible. Hopefully without spilling bloodâ€¦<br/><br/>â€œThere is definitely something more to this that weâ€™re missing. I wish there had been more information on our mission,â€ she half muttered in irritation. â€œAnd,â€ she spoke up again, â€œI think you might have a better chance surviving longer than I would, if one of us must stay behind.â€ Her tone revealed how unsure about her decision she was but the look in her eyes said she had confidence in him. If this did not workâ€¦ No, she didnâ€™t want to think of that. They had come too far now to give up It was time to play a bit dirty. â€œRyan definitely seems to like you more than he seems to like me. You strike me as someone that Iâ€™m sure could use that to your advantage.â€
