Alfie goes down, but he reacts quickly. Grunting in pain when his arm is wrenched, he twists himself around underneath Watson, so they're face-to-face instead of Alfie being face-to-floor. His free hand evades John for a moment, but in the end, it's pinned down. He lets it go limp - he'll wait for the right moment, then try jerking it away.

"What do you imagine is gonna happen here?" Like Watson, Alfie is calm. His eyes are narrowed, calculating, and he doesn't break eye contact.
