If Laila was being honest with herself her initial instinct was to get the heck out of there however knowing Rhee she would probably chase her down and tackle her to the ground. “M..my instincts say I am defenseless and I need a weapon, but since I don’t have one, I need to think of a maneuver to distract the enemy so I can either make a strike to my advantage or flee to safety so I can come up with a plan to defeat them.” It was the basic battle strategies that were taught at the Academy, a discipline all officers were required to take.
