Bastard. Albert should have fired when he had the chance, but now he's in the situation he'd worried he was in when he'd first caught sight of the self-style villain. With one variation. One chance he can't help but take. It's either that, or risk his own death and all of those civilians still in the area.

"Hand to hand? Fine, but you leave the pin in that grenade and set it down slowly. Then I'll lower the gun." Albert knows he's a man of his word and believes quite sincerely that Tom isn't.

If he's chafed by the 'little girls' comment, he doesn't show it.
