It's less than Kate hoped for but better than nothing, the contact sending a jolt up her arm, pain blooming in her knuckles. For a half-second she savors it, and then Johanna has her arm, using her follow-through against her.

She's pulled off-balance, her arm caught and turned behind her. She lashes back, with the back of head and hand, trying to throw them into Johanna's face. They're probably easily dodged, but at least delay getting her on the ground. She keeps her feet for another moment, trying to stop an insole or drive a heel into shin. While trying to free her arm, of course, but it's difficult without wrenching it, and she's a little wary of tearing up her elbow again so soon.
