Perhaps you'd just prefer that the man end up missing you completely and just leave, however if you gain a benefit by hiding until you have the upper hand then you will take it. So you keep yourself huddled underneath when you hear the office doors open and know that Kovacs is sure to be suspicious from the sight of your snooping about and messing with his computer. Though he couldn't expect a trespasser, he does approach with confusion by the sound of things, as if checking about the room first in case one of his kids had been in here as he expected.

Already it was tense when you were hiding and he merely was in the same room, but when the guy actually makes his way around to the desk finally to check on his computer, you could reach out and grab him normally. It's only fortunate that he remains standing for if he sat down in the chair and rolled up to the desk he would probably hit you. You try to remain as quiet and still as possible, even breathing low with the helmet on. When he gets this close though it occurs to you that you're not going to get a better chance to make your move, and very nearly do so until you hear the keyboard being used. Is he logging in to see if anything has been done? Whatever the case you give it until he stops typing and it sounds like he's using the mouse, before acting.

In a rapid action you reach your hands for both his ankles to grab and pull. Though you don't just drag him down to the floor, you cause him to fall when he stumbles back in alarm at being surprise grabbed by someone. At that you clamor out from under the desk and get into a tussle on the floor with the man, trying to gain the upper hand however you can. Although Kovacs is an older fellow, he's still a grown man while you're a young woman so you quickly find that in sheer strength, even if he isn't some tough guy he's still stronger than you. You're only elastic after all, you don't have supernatural strength or anything like that... yet. Maybe in time if you kept with with building muscle and fitness you could contend, but for now you're at a disadvantage in this regard.
