[he was in danger, at home. he was maybe half an hour out from his inevitable death. perks of being on the wrong side of a man who is the very embodiment of revenge-seeking behavior]
[but at any rate, Damien doesn't need to be told twice. he's not sure he'll be able to get to somewhere where Aiden can't find him, but fear is a more powerful motivator than despair, so he takes that opportunity for escape with both hands and starts to hobble away as fast as he can and no matter how much it hurts. (and it does hurt. he's in some degree of physical pain near constantly)]
[Aiden's shadow, meanwhile, does try and take a shot at him, but when the dagger connects, the shot goes wide. he turns on Cole then, fire-bright eyes focusing on him, instead. rather than try and shoot him, however, he trades the gun out for a tactical baton, which he swings at Cole as he steps into melee range. he'll catch up with Damien later]
