Damien held Joe's hand, pulling him back up on his feet. Once they were both standing, he nodded calmly to the boy's question. "Yes.. and your two brothers. When I was living in Chicago, your band had fame."
He gave the hand a friendly squeeze before releasing it. "It's a good thing I was around tonight, hmm? Your parents and brothers would have been distraught. These streets.. they just aren't safe at night. But you already know that now. Ohh.. that's hardly fair, I know your name but you don't know mine. Sorry. I'm Damien Thorn."
He paused a moment, as if thinking about something. "Well.. I may know of a place for you to stay. I could arrange it. There's this nice hotel I'm staying at. Sunset Tower. If you're not opposed to the idea, yourself and Nick are welcome to pick a room there. No charge."
