Seventeen suspicious-looking, mostly-armed, and not-quite-heterogeneous individuals congregated on<strong>the</strong> street corner. At least one of <strong>the</strong>m looked lost."You don't know where to go, do you?" Conor asked.Ludlow tried to ignore him. He gazed out at <strong>the</strong> street and tried to look as though he knew exactly wha<strong>the</strong> was doing."Figures," Johnny Utah muttered. "We're just going to stand around here until someone takes us away."John Constantine casually lit a stolen cigarette and smoked, shifting h<strong>is</strong> position a little such that he wasdirectly beside <strong>the</strong> 'No Smoking' sign that marked <strong>the</strong> entrance to a restaurant."Someone has to know something," Shane said.
