Was able to get loose from him under the water and I had gotten the blade from my ankle just as Smith jumped on Lydeckers back.
I embedded my blade into his chest under the water. It wasn't easy but I did it. Then I was yanked up onto the back by Smith.
When he told me that I should stick to reporting I glared at him only to look down at the corpse. Yeah, the head was cut off and he did that but I had gotten him first. I wasn't one to just let things go so I threw back my fist and punched Smith in the jaw. Then I jumped back into the water turned the corpse over and pulled my blade out of it's heart. Rinsed it off in the water and got out on the other side of the bank. Leaned down and put it back in it's sheath.
