We meet like normal, like we planned. You make sure he knows you're coming, but don't tell him where, so he can't show up.
And then, right after you've told him we're about to meet, you drop out of contact for a bit. A day, maybe two. You don't answer any of his messages, no matter what he says - because if you do, the plan is ruined. Understand? He needs to think you're hurt, badly, possibly dead. He will suffer, and he will feel guilt, and that will make him reflect on his careless actions.
[Whether or not it would stick once he realized the truth is another matter entirely - Alfie is inclined to think that it wouldn't. But he doesn't need to share that thought with Ecks.]

he heavily implied it
and he's a freaking gang lord
so stay away from him if you don't want to get caught between us and hurt

[The plan is shocking. She has never considered a lie on such a grand scale. She doesn't understand the sheer scope of it even as she points out what she sees as a flaw.]
He will see that I am talking to other people on the network and he will know that I am not dead or very hurt.

Oh.
[That makes significantly more sense. It also comes with the possibility that other people will think she is very hurt or dead and also suffer.
They will not trust her when they know she has lied. Doctor House will not trust her, like Doctor Watson does not trust her.]
I understand. Will you really hurt me?

You're thinking, therefore you are a person.
But I think feeling things make you even more of a person. Empathy, sympathy, they're all important. Caring for others makes you a better person, too. Not that you should never be selfish, because you should - you, as a person, comes first.
I don't think you can only be part of a person. I think, the second you have your own thoughts, you are a person, and that's that.

[His heart skips a beat. Fucking Alfie Solomons and goddamn her. She shouldn't matter.]
then don't bother calling if he hurts you
find another doctor
