Topher moved to his knees as fast as he could. Alpha was not the sort of person you wanted at your back. Or front. Or anywhere near you really and god why was he here?
"I guess you were too interested in the blood to think about running." Which is exactly what had happened. "Look, you don't-we don't need to do anything, right?" He'd like to say they could forget each other, but that was an impossibility because Alpha was the one thing in all the universe that truly scared Topher. That impossible man was a big neon sign of Topher's failure to do his job right and of the Dollhouse's failure to protect it's people.
Topher knows Alpha in a more intimate fashion than anyone else ever could or would want to. The mind was the most beautiful part of someone. Unless that person was Alpha. (Well, no, Topher did have some fascination, but it was overshadowed by fear)
With a deep swallow Topher slowly reached for the knife he kept in his boot. His heart was pounding and he could feel himself beginning to sweat. "Go away."
