Another flip, covering ground as much as it launches him upward -- to another truck, not to the concrete floor, but the next carries him down and towards Ava.
His folding knife isn't weighted for throwing. Too bad. You deal with what you have.
It's in his right hand, pulled out mid-flip and flicked open in the crouched instant between one jump and another, held horizontally with the blade along his forearm like a knife-fighter (which isn't inaccurate), but it's not his primary goal right now. Murder on the grounds of Milliways, even in self-defense and down in the garage, is more trouble than he wants.
A good solid (left-handed) uppercut to Ava's solar plexus would solve a lot of problems, though.
