That's her cue. Evie launches her rope across the street and jumps off the roof, swinging down to the balcony that Alex had come through. Evie wastes no time dismounting and rushing into the room. This is bad. And exactly what she feared would happen.

Evie reaches into her boot and pulls out a slim stake. Without any hesitation, she threw the stake just as she dropped to one knee behind cover. The stake flew towards Millicent, striking her in the calf to distract her. From behind cover, Evie let fly with another smoke bomb, plunging the room into fog. Using the fog as cover, she came out from crouching along a desk, and placed herself directly behind the guard.

A hidden stake up her sleeve flies out and find it's way into the guard's heart. He drops, and Evie steps away. Now it's just them and Millicent. Evie doesn't wait another second before drawing her sword, ready to step in where Alex needs her.
