As Jack drops to his knees, he can feel his shirt collar tightening against his throat, and as his attacker lets go he hears something fall to the floor with a light tinkle. He doesn't get a chance to glance around and see what it is, though, as there's a blow to his back that pushes all the air out of his lungs and sends him to the floor. He manages to turn over, to kick out and hit his attacker but he's barefoot and the hit doesn't carry as much force as it would; certainly not as much as the kick to the ribs he gets from the third assailant.
From the hallway he hears a muffled cry, and he knows one of them has gotten to Chris. Fuelled by anger, he pushes through the pain and tries to land a blow to a more sensitive part of his attacker's anatomy, but he's outnumbered, and the movement only earns another kick in response.
Down the hall there's a yelp from one of the attackers; at least it sounds like Chris is having better luck than he is. Not for long, though, as while he struggles to catch his breath, he can hear the third man heading toward her.
