[It's stupid of them both. Kate's distracted, too, and by the time Steinbeck realizes the Enforcer is coming towards them, he's too close for Kate's bow to be of any use. Kate reacts on pure instinct, stepping back and trying to pull Steinbeck with her, but she's too slow. Luckily for them both, the man seems to have lost his other weapons, and he's armed only with a baton. Unluckily for them, he brings it up in a short, brutal arc, and Kate isn't quick enough to react before it smashes into her temple. She goes down, out like a light, and crumples to the ground.]
