As Kahlan tried but failed to get past the closest man by feigning a move to her right and then her left, she caught a glimpse of the Mord-Sith ducking as the arm of the other man swept by over her head. The second man, his focus also on Kahlan, swung an arm behind to brush away the Mord-Sith as if she were a petty nuisance. Kahlan hoped that when she found that out she would be quick enough not to be caught and killed like the soldier lying sprawled up against the wall.
Mord-Sith were quick, but the woman’s Agiel wasn’t going to stop this threat. Out of the corner of her eye, Kahlan caught sight of the red leather of a Mord-Sith coming up behind the other man.
