Jean-Claude knows he has to move quickly if he does not want the guard to step in and take this moment from him. The second he feels Eames pulling free from his bonds Jean-Claude is stepping back and releasing him, reaching behind himself to draw the blade strapped to his back just under his jacket where it has been hidden, waiting for this moment as well.

As Eames plunges the stake into Harris, Jean-Claude spins to gut the guard beside them. It will not kill him, but he does not need him dead, not yet. Just out of the way, and he doubts, with his insides on the outside as they are, that he's going to raise much of a fuss in Raymond's defense.

He turns on the pair of them, and he knows he has only seconds to take his action before the club beyond erupts into chaos. Seconds to take action and he does not have a clear blow, not with Eames so close. And while he would sacrifice many things to win this, he would not execute Eames to get Raymond as well. Not with this many witnesses.

So he steps forward, and in the blink of an eye he has his free hand fisted in the front of Raymond's clothing and uses it to shove him backwards, to catch the other vampire in surprise, to push him off balance. And to give himself enough of an opening to strike.

"For the nest, monsieur!!!" Jean-Claude cries out. And swings his blade down to decapitate the Duke of London Central.
