Riley had to collaborate with Eric for the worlds sake. Now the reason for this is because underground mole people were attacking the all great statue of liberty. The accountability of Eric wasn't that great Eric could betray you any chance he had. Their goal was to blow up the sewers and subways. They had to follow procedure because it was a direct order from the General. Riley had his faults too because when anything awesome happened Riley had to blog it. His website was www.rileycoyote.com. But Riley was grounded from his browser for being weird. He couldn't publish his blog because you know. Well in other words they lost because Riley was blogging the whole time in secret and Eric drowned trying to save the world.
