[Maybe he would've backed down, but not now. Maybe he would've let him go with a stern talking-to like he did with Beckett (well, a stern talking-to and a hammer to the back of the head, but whatever). Doesn't seem like an option now. The glass shard comes out and Charles' eyes go wide.
His hand's shaking and it's so stupid. This is so stupid. What is he doing? Why was he so convinced this guy was out to get him even before he was? But now he is. The bloodstains on the glass only confirm it. Jesus, did he attack Charlie with this?]
Whose blood is that? What ever happened to "I don't want to hurt you"?
[His voice is a raw blend of fury and fear. He doesn't have time to hide it anymore, there's already a knife in play, or there might as well be. His left hand creeps up toward his coat pocket.]
