This doesn’t really seem like the right time to answer a question like that one with yes. He’s also not really being given much of a chance, as Alec can’t seem to pull away. (He’s also not certain how much he wants to try, but that’s a completely different matter.) Still, there’s a different between running and being dragged, and Alec gives it another moment.

“The world’s probably ending,” he says instead. “And you want me to run?” Okay, maybe that’s being a little extreme, but this is also apparently a man who’s carrying a gun and maybe if Alec is lucky he’ll just shoot him in frustration. That seems like it would be both quick and dramatic.
