Evelyn breaks into a trot, gripping the knife so that it doesn't fall out of her sleeve.

The boy tries to wheel around and fight Evelyn off, punching at her for two bashing...

 

Desiree calmly walks forwards so she can keep Evelyn out of the line of fire and shoots again. Black smoke pours from the boys' throat as his body starts to deflate a bit.

Desiree squeezes off one more shot, then, thanks to the assault coming on him from three sides, the boy seems to burst like a broken balloon, filling the hall with acrid-smelling smoke.
