The explosive has just begun to whine in his hand, and Jason concentrates, more sensing than counting the seconds that signify the optimal release point, arm drawn back to throw, but -
Disengaging the device, Jason lets his arm fall as her body does, the slender length of it folding to an unconscious sprawl on the forest floor. Though he's careful of a ruse, Jason comes forward anyway, and when she doesn't move, presses his fingers to her throat. She's alive, but her pulse is erratic. Shock, he decides, and after the device he's freed her from, he isn't surprised.
He pulls her carefully into his arms, hesitating only a moment before he begins to carry her towards the path. She'll wake soon enough, and if she's still fighting him, he needs to be ready to restrain her.
On this part of the island, the nearest safe house belongs to Finnick O'dair, and Jason runs.
