The sudden shove in the back managed to turn an ungainly flop into an ungainly tumble of limb but they were both inside at least.

The sound of a gun being cocked made Kaz freeze midmotion so that he was on his hands and knees. His black hair was partly obscuring his face from above and Kaz used this to glance around for more than one pair of boots. He didn't see more so it was just the one. Whether or not he had a gun aimed at him or if it was aimed at Tony instead, Kaz acted. Fast as a striking snake he used his hold on the bar of his cane to use the crow's head handle like a hook and yanked the one wearing that single set of boots off of their feet. There was a spate of gunfire but the gun was pointed harmlessly at the ceiling. Without stopping in between, as soon as that person's body hit the floor, Kaz was sitting on his chest with his knees pinning the arms beneath them. There was no audible ratchet sound but between one instant and the next, there was suddenly a knife in his hand. Before anything could be said, Kaz used his knife to slit the soldier's throat.
The blood from the wound was forceful at first and spattered the front of Kaz's jacket and shirt but Kaz stayed where he was until the soldier was definitely dead. Then Kaz wiped his blade clean on the soldier, put the butt end of the hilt against his wrist, now there was an audible ratchet sound as the catch engaged, and the knife vanished up his sleeve. Once he was off the soldier, Kaz finished getting to his feet with the assistance of his cane.
"How do you plan to make it out of here and to the blinking light, then?"
