Erik Snowden
Adam spoke next, demanding they tell them who killed Aidan. As much as Erik agreed to want this whole thing over with quickly, that meant the death of the person who'd done it- Billy. And considering his relationship with the man he wasn't about to let that happen. He'd die for Billy before he let someone touch him. But because his boss had a treaty with Adam's boss, there wasn't really anything he could do without making a mess. Erik was stuck and he hated it, the frustration painted on his face. Edwards then spoke to him again, the same demand leaving his lips. Erik just scoffed and rolled his eyes. "You think just 'cause my boss and your's have some pact made that I'll be nice to any of youse? You're a fuckin' putz!" He spat. "Speakin' o' fair, you don't think that hit was fair? Considerin' you blew up a nightclub and attempted murder? Succeeded with some, even. What, the Irish don't believe in an eye for an eye?"
Jeremy's words only back up his own and Erik looked between Edwards and Adam to see their expressions. He was sure neither man cared about the lives lost and threatened during the bombing, but it didn't matter. What mattered was wasting time and trying to figure out some sort of game plan. With the four of them all split up it was difficult to plan anything accordingly. They outgunned, outmanned, outnumbered, and out-planned. What the hell were they supposed to do? One of the main things Erik worried about was Billy. Knowing how awful he felt about Aidan and that it weighed heavily on him, Erik worried he would spill his guts. When Billy told him the news he'd nearly been a wreck. Erik allowed him to talk about it openly and without judgment - considering, Erik had killed before - in order to feel better. Sitting here now and thinking about it made him wonder; would Billy crack so easily?
Before Erik was able to open his mouth, Jeremy decided to take the blame. He quickly turned his head to look at him - a confused and shocked expression on his face. Since Erik hadn't been present in Dublin - something he couldn't even lie about - the shock could be read as him being surprised it was Jeremy. However, he knew Jeremy knew better. He was shocked that he would admit to something that wasn't true- and so quickly. He justified it with some truth in saying Aidan was in the wrong place and the wrong time. Knowing the story of what happened, Erik was able to discern the truth from the lie. Still, he couldn't wrap his mind around what Jeremy was doing nor why.
