"Why didn't you tell them the truth?" is a rhetorical question.
"Don't you recognize either of those people? Their affiliation with the group is denoted by the insignia sewn onto the upper back of their garments. What do you think would have happened if I had shown them the route that those other people took? ".
"You got that right. I could see that they were trying to protect that man".
They did not give any consideration to the consequences that could arise if the men in black discovered that they had led him down the wrong path.
After that, neither of them uttered another word. The individuals dressed in black made a beeline for the path he had been instructed to take.
