Alex didn't rest for too long.  Liz was holding her own but the hunter was obviously an expert.  She heaved herself onto the branch and unlooped the rope.  She winced at the pain around her ankle and gave it a wiggle.  It hurt like the hoolies but miraculously it wasn't sprained or worse; broken.  She pulled the rope to her and gave it a good yank.  She glared at the hunter and waited until his back was square to her and then pushed of, her legs straight out to kick him in the back.  She wanted to get him back for hanging her upside down and maybe a little angry payback for all the crap she had been through.
