[people don't just 'help', where he's from. (he's still caught so off guard by how genuinely nice people are, here.) not to mention the fact that he considers himself honorable to a certain degree. (he let Aiden talk to his sister, as promised, as their investigation progressed.) he'll owe Cole because he wants to. it's a matter of personal pride. he'll repay that debt somehow, later]
[right now, he barks out a laugh and tries not to think about the fact that, when he gets home, it will be Aiden, and no one will be there, then, to keep him from getting shot in the head]
Right, well --
[the bad news, to go with the good news, is the fact that he has to pause, as the sound of the train approaches and then ebbs again, and when it does, as he turns away from Cole and back in the direction he was going, however briefly, there's another Shadow Aiden waiting for him. swearing, Damien cringes and half-ducks, bringing his hands up to protect his head for as little good as that'll do him against a gun. Cole might have to step in, again. as far as he's concerned, he has no means of fighting back. he has no means of fighting back, when Aiden comes for him, back home]
