"I think they usually deduct points for killing your audience."
Catherine's tone was steady, verging on laconic, but in her mind where none could see she tensed. She hadn't even realized what she was seeing until the knife bounced, the sound leading her eyes to its final motions.
What kind of person just threw knives around? The criminally reckless... or someone in thrall to a memory. The memory of someone criminally reckless. Or just criminal.
Perhaps she should just run? Chloe's new athleticism not withstanding, she did have the longer legs, she might still be faster in a middle distance... But even she wasn't quite heedless and hard-edged enough, to make a snap decision that required discarding altogether any attempt to account for what had happened in familiar terms.
