[Jim looks like he wants to say more and even takes a step towards the two kneeling men but the cold look in Alfred's eyes makes him stop. He's seen Alfred in action before and knows that the man knows how to kill, he was a solider after all, but there was always a reason he held back. That reason is gone now and when Jim looks into Alfred's grey blue eyes he sees what has been there ever since he was a solider. He sees a man who won't blink when pulling the trigger, who will hit his target every time. They're sniper eyes.]
Jim. [Lee says softly and reaches out to take hold of his arm, trying to pull him away gently.] Leave them alone.
[It takes a moment but in the end Jim let's himself be lead away by Lee and Bullock who go outside to call for backup and a medical team, leaving Oswald and Alfred alone in the warehouse that stinks of death and sorrow.]
Oswald.
[It's the first time Alfred has addressed him by name and for a moment it feels strange on his tongue but he repeats it again.]
Oswald. Sir? I suspect a medical team and more police will arrive soon, so if you were thinking of leaving before then I would suggest we do so rather quickly.
[We. It just slips out but the second it does he knows it's right. Oswald is hurt after all and can't very well run on that sliced tendon of his.]
