Coming alone would have been a death wish, judging by the video recording of Eric with Bryan in the Hologym. As if she needed more proof that year than her husband's appearance that Juliet never truly knew someone, her partner had been lying to her all along. He didn't have as good of an excuse as David for hiding it; not when he had planted himself right in the middle of a facility using supers as pawns. Every action taken that involved him or could have involved him since he joined the Regiment was now under investigation. That included a lot involving Juliet, as his co-handler, which meant that she couldn't afford to botch this arrest. Her own reputation was now on the line for it.
So she'd involved as many other people as she felt safe recruiting. There were other handlers there, and perhaps too many members of the security team, as well as a few select agents. There were too many unknowns about what Eric could do, but she felt sure that they outnumbered however many people he could affect at once. They had all been instructed not to make eye contact, and to cover up as much skin as possible; pheromones were a hard one to detect and combat, but limiting skin exposure for their absorption could at least limit it. They only needed to get him to the holding cells from his room.
That was where they started; lined up outside of his room in the humans' quarters. Juliet led the charge, feeling personally responsible for this, while the others lined the hallway. Taking a breath, her gaze turning steely, Juliet raised a fist to pound on his door.
"Eric? It's Juliet. Can we talk?"
