He gasps out loud in anguish, his hands clawing at her boot. She smirks down at him and points her gun, sneering, "This is it for you, loser."

With a burst of energy, Edward shoots forward and closes the distance in two bounds before slamming into Evelyn.

He's able to make her lose grip of her weapon, but he ends up hitting his head on the tiles as a result. Momentarily dazed, he barely registers her fist lunging against his jaw. His head twists at the punch, her weight threatening to crush him. He chokes as she wraps his hands around his throat, squeezing tightly, rage in her eyes.
