Re: O'Brien, Taisce, Ellie, OPEN.
Her arm had come loose from O'Brien's grip for a moment. Perfect timing, too. She grabbed hold of the handle to her machete with both hands to bring it up to block what appeared to be a billy club. That would have hurt like a bitch had it connected, the assailant had naturally put some force behind it.
Swinging her arms around and in a downward motion, before he could swing again, she brought the handle of the machete into the base of his ribcage. It worked, her opponent dropped to his knees. Taisce placed a foot on his billy club and gave a good kick with her knee. His nose would most likely be broken. It didn't take much pressure to break a bone, Taisce remembered that much.
As he fell backward, releasing his weapon, she reached down to pick it up. He'd be less of a threat if he got back up. Fists were easier to deal with.
Bringing herself back to Ellie and O'Brien again, pushing her way through more would be assailants, she came back to hear Ellie telling O'Brien that she wasn't going to be going with them, but that she'd meet them later. "You be careful," she directed at Ellie. She waited for O'Brien's go ahead. She'd prefer him to climb first, because he had a firearm, she could help Ellie fight off attackers long enough for him to get most of the way up the fire escape. Or at least out of most of harm's way. Then she'd follow.
