Rescue hadn't been a thing Dominic was expecting or looking for, and he was pretty sure that this wasn't a rescue anyway. He didn't recognize the man, and he didn't know the right way to answer the question. It was a dangerous question.
Of course, Dominic didn't have many options, other than the truth. While he was generally considered a bookkeeper he was a common enough fixture at certain types of meetings that lying could easily be discovered. And as he was, he was at least a made man, not to be easily taken out without consequence, as unreassuring as that felt.
Still running high on the adrenaline of the moment, Dominic resisted the urge to check his wounds, see how bad his injuries were. His hands were steady where he held them near his sides, a little raised. "L'alleanza." The Covenant. Plenty respected and feared, as a general rule. Dominic was certainly afraid enough of them.
