Okay, so maybe there was a part of it that was kind of... well, he wouldn't use the word fun, exactly, but exhilarating. Intoxicating, certainly. Regardless, he doesn't like the idea of the kind of fun Charlie has in mind, especially not when Charlie's skin burns hot under his touch. He moves his hand away from Charlie's shoulder, knowing he's pushing his luck, knowing he has to stay calm enough to help all of them -- to help Ned get out of this mess unharmed, to help himself make up for what he did to Ned in the first place, and to help Charlie avoid doing something he'll regret later.
As they go into the house, he tries to think. If only he had a goddamned cigarette, he'd be thinking a lot more clearly now. "What's your plan? What're you gonna do with him?"
If he can find out what Charlie wants to do, what his goal is, maybe he can talk him into something else.
