Well, the fact that Ryker's pokemon were missing as well was as good an indication as any that something was wrong. Or Ryker had decided he was sick of the limelight and up and left, but given how fired up he'd been the night before that seemed unlikely. The backlash that Hyacinth got from some of the other gym leaders was fully expected though. He highly doubted that a number of them would listen to the fact that he wanted them to keep their noses out of the police's investigation. It was like he'd never met most of them. He had no intention of jumping into the thick of things unless he absolutely had to, if only to keep the others from doing something too stupid.

Instead he let his eyes flick lazily from person to person as they all leapt to refute what the chairman said. Hestia and Astrid were no surprise, but Mika's usually friendly demeanor being upended by the situation was certainly something. Sure they could all go running around like chickens with their heads cut off trying to figure out where Ryker was, or they could sit around with their thumbs up their asses. Neither option was particularly appealing.

When some of the other gym leaders started to step out he figured that was the cue that the meeting was as over as it was going to get. If the others wanted to continue to fight with Hyacinth that was their prerogative. Nordrin was on the right track, he had his own business to run and the gears would keep turning with or without Ryker there. For now at least. He gave Hyacinth a nod, [color=0076a3][b]"I'll be headed back to the clinic then should someone need something of me."[/b][/color]

He pushed out the door and noted Bianca leaned up against the wall. He stepped out of the way of the door to lean against the wall next to her. [color=0076a3][b]"You alright?"[/b][/color] He kept his eyes fixed on the wall across from him, but there was some genuine concern trapped somewhere in his voice.
