While the hacker froze when Optimus spoke as he disabled the guard's leg, she acted quickly enough - with the time she had - not by pulling away and starting for the door, but quickly changing position until she had the minibot she was still connected to in front of herself.
"... I'm really slaggin' tired of scrap like this," Cliffjumper hissed, while the hacker (briefly, if nervously, chuckling), keeping an eye on Optimus now pointing the gun at them, pulled the chain free where it was attached to the wall, wrapping it around one arm.
She had no weapons, but she was still attached to Cliffjumper's insides, and she did have the minibot mostly between herself and his bodyguard.
"You could leave, you know. I can even make sure you'll be let out without any problems." She smiled tightly, the grin widening slightly as Cliffjumper stiffened. Oh, she knew an Escort like that probably wouldn't take that offer; he'd been paid, he had his ethics and a reputation, but any little emotional upset in her actual target let her slip inside just a bit further.
