I frequently do.
"Something might be broken..."
The words rang in his ears as if he was underwater, and he realized his ears were ringing, probably from the blow to the jaw, which could well have knocked his jawbone back into his eardrums. "I don't care," he growled, barely hearing his own voice, and he caught the look in her eyes as they both turned and sprinted after their ex-captive.
Simon was outpacing Sun, his regular running back at the university helping him, and he caught glimpses of Jim running through the woods ahead of him. "Stop!" he yelled, but the other man took no heed. It was only when he tripped over a root in the dark that Simon caught up to him, breathing heavily, as Jim rolled on the ground and leapt to his feet facing Simon, madness in his eyes. Simon ran for him, hoping his improved physical shape would help him overcome the other man. Jim, though, had on his side determination, and Simon's clumsy lunge forward was met with a punch to the face that jammed his teeth together, biting into the inside of one of his cheeks and drawing blood. He reeled backwards in time to catch another punch to the gut, which caused him to double over, winded.
It was then that Sun came running onto the scene, despite Simon, out of breath, trying his best to shout at her, to warn her away, but only coming out as a wheezing whisper of "Sun, look out-"
Even as she realized what had happened, Jim was reacting desperately, spinning and catching her across the face with a solitary punch. She hit the ground hard, and Jim turned back towards Simon, too late. Simon, despite being out of breath, had thrown himself at the other man, roaring a wordless shout of rage at his reaction to Sun's arrival. Simon caught Jim in the chest with his tackle and sent both men tumbling to the ground, Simon ending up half-standing, half-kneeling over Jim's prone body, raining blow after blow onto the man's face. "You bastard!" he roared, despite knowing the man did not understand him. "You fucking bastard!"
He had hit Jim in the face with maybe ten punches, as hard as he could, and his knuckles were bleeding onto the other man's face, when Jim reacted instinctively and primitively, lashing up with his leg and catching Simon in the groin. he screamed in pain and collapsed on the ground off of Jim, who pulled himself to his feet, his face a bloody mess. He paused for long enough to catch Simon with a kick across the temple, to make sure the anthropologist did not follow him once he recovered, and Simon's entire body spasmed once in response, as he lay curled up on the ground, moaning in pain, tears forming in his eyes. Jim took one wild-eyed look around the small clearing, and spun round, running down the hill towards the town again, both his pursuers incapacitated and at least mostly unconscious. There was no chance of the scientists catching him now.

Sun was down, laying on the ground and unable to move any of her limbs. Her head hurt the most, and blood trailed from the right side of her forehead and had seeped into her hair. She felt nauseous and dizzy; like the whole world was spinning around her. She could hear yelling, and sounds like bone cracking. She could feel the night breeze brush against her cheek. She could feel the warm hot liquid streak down her face like a misplaced tear. Pain tore through her entire body. She reached her hand out to her necklace which was a few feet from her. It had fallen off in the fall, but she reached out for it. She could not reach it. A few tears fell from her eyes when she could not reach it; such a trivial thing, but she did not cry. There were only tears. With her hand outstretched, she went unconscious.

Hey Rave, when Simon carries her back, do you want him to get or not get the necklace? It seems like the kind of thing he might forget, given, you know, ringing ears, a concussion ... At the same time, she's reaching out for it, so he could easily notice and get it since it seems important to her.
