"Take care!" Kevin calls, raising his voice as he half-stumbles over a crack in the ground. "He doesn't need to touch you to choke you!"
It's something he has to say for the sake of their lives, but it also has the effect of causing the Enforcers to pause, and in those few seconds of hesitation, Kylo's way is clear. Kevin stays that and starts to follow, but the Enforcer commander reaches his side then, grabbing Kevin's shoulder -- the right one, not the one on his blind side. He's worked with Kevin before.
"Not you," he snarls. "Not with that injury. We'll chase him; you call your friends."
Kevin starts to sneer, only to realize abruptly that if he'd sent the call out sooner, more urgently, his friends might have already been there and there might not be native Enforcers struggling out from beneath that cart. Kicking himself, he summons whoever is available and tries to set Kylo Ren's back on fire.
It doesn't work. The clarity from earlier is gone now, diluted by his annoyance at his own self.
