Hunky isn't exactly the word that comes to his mind right now. It's more along the lines of OH SHIT.
Except he can't even get those words out. On TV, there hero always faces these situations with jaw set, steeled nerves, and fists ready for a beatdown. That's the sort of hero Alfred wanted to be. Not this. Not, when faced with a killers breath at his ear and back turned, reacted like a wild animal. He'd like to say his shout is an act of defiance to the killer's demand for silence, but it's a flimsy explanation; it's more of an involuntary screech, like a fox who has just wandered into a trap and heard the cage slam shut behind it. Alfred jumps, tries to spin around. His elbows fly back to push the man away, or at least break some ribs so he can escape.
Fuck it, let the police handle this one. He just wants to make it out of here alive.
