Michael #8
They swift exchange continued in the same spirit and when she dodged even the follow up strikes from his cane, he knew, that he found worthy prey.
Ignoring her taunt completely, the murderer raised his blade, waiting for her next strike. At the moment, he was sure she was stronger than him, but it didn´t discouraged him. On the contrary, this wasn´t the first time h was hunting someone stronger than himself and if he learned something during the previous encounters it was that for many people it was hard to play on his home turf.
Unbuttoning her cloak, she threw the soaked piece of fabric against him as a distraction to hide her next move. But Michael wasn´t waiting for that. Dropping his center of mass down, he fell directly into back roll, letting both the cloak and her fist to pass above him.
In one seamless motion, the hunter rolled back on his feet, swiftly disappearing behind the heavy curtain of falling water.
The distraction Elaine used worked both ways, if he couldn´t see her, she couldn´t see him. And unlike her skeletal tattoo and neon colored hair. His dark suit was very hard to see in the murky weather, especially when he hide himself in the shadow of a nearby building.
Standing without a motion, he waited for an opportunity to strike again. This strategy could be considered “cowardly”, but Michael didn´t care. He wasn´t warrior, and never claimed to be one. He was hunter and so strategy like this was simply part of his nature.
