Chapter 2
Sarah, Ava, Ray, Nora, Nate, Mick, and Mona go to the place where the article said the bodies were found. "Mona, you're up. We need Wolfie to track down John's scent. I snagged one of his ties so you can get his scent." said Sarah. "Okay." replied Mona. After Mona transforms into Wolfie, she sniffs at John's tie. "Got it, this way." said Wolfie. The team follows Wolfie in the direction she ran off in. As they were following Wolfie through the woods, Sarah notices that Ava was frowning. "What's wrong, babe?" Sarah asked Ava. "It's nothing really, I just feel kinda bad about what I said to John, I didn't mean to bring up the whole Dez-thing." replied Ava. "It's okay, Ava, he knows you didn't mean it. John's just having a hard time accepting his break-up. It sucks cause John just loves Dez so much." Sarah said. "I still can't believe Dez would just leave like that after everything John went through to save him." said Ava. "Maybe he was just scared. After all, he was in h*ll." Sarah responded. Ava sighs shaking her head. She and John may not always see eye-to-eye, but she felt really sorry for John and his broken heart.
Meanwhile, in an abandoned hunting shed, six children were held captive in a small cage. They were all scared, huddled in a corner. "I'm scared!" cried a little brunette girl. "I want my mommy!" sobbed a red-head girl. "What are you going to do to us?" asked a dark-skinned boy. "Just let us go, ya bloody psychos!" shouted a boy with glasses. "You said you'd keep me safe! This doesn't look f**kin' safe!" yelled Young-John. The smallest girl was clinging to the red-head trembling and crying. "I lied, of course, and it was easy. You brats are so gullible and stupid." replied the kidnapper. "Who the h*ll are you?" asked Young-John. "Just call me Mr. Harvey." he answered. "Now, all of you quit your whining." Mr. Harvey told them. The mysterious man goes to the other end of the shed and prepares for the ritual where he planned to sacrifice the children.
On the Waverider, Charlie and John had went through two bottles gin. Charlie had only drank a little bit from each bottle, John drank the rest. So, while the shapeshifter was only slightly buzzed, the exorcist was completely and utterly drunk. John tries to get up so he could get more alcohol. "Woah, woah, I think you've had enough." said Charlie pulling John down when he began to sway on his feet. "Come on, jus one m'r drink." John slurred. "No way, handsome, I'm cutting you off." Charlie told him holding onto his shoulders. "So, ya think I'm h'ns'm?" John asked. "Well, yeah. In fact, you're the sexiest man I know." replied Charlie. Then out of nowhere, the two started to drunkenly make out. Things became more heated when Charlie began to undo John's tie, but then she instantly came to her senses. As much as she enjoyed kissing him, she knew the situation was all wrong. "I'm sorry, mate, I can't do this...i-it isn't right. You're schnockered, I'd just be takin' advantage of ya, and I don't want to do that. Besides, this isn't what you want, I'm not the one you want." Charlie said with her hands on John's chest, keeping him at arms length. Suddenly, John's lower lip quivers and he starts crying.
Charlie is shocked, she doesn't know what to do. She's never seen John cry before; she's seen him angry and she's seen him depressed, but a crying John Constantine was completely new to her. "H-Hey now, it's alright, don't cry." Charlie said trying to comfort John. "Y-You're right, I-I don't want you...I want Dez, but...but h-he hates me." John cried. "Are you sure he hates you?" Charlie asked. "He told me he didn't want anything from me and then left. And he hasn't called me since. He hates me...I deserve it, I guess. I always manage to make the people I care about hate me." John answered. "I don't hate you." said Charlie. "Why?" John asked her. "Cause you're my friend, and despite what you think of yourself, you're a lovely person and I love having you around. You may be a little rough around the edges, but on the inside you're so sweet...like a pineapple." Charlie answered. Comparing him to a tropical fruit makes John laugh. He leans forward and rests his head on Charlie's shoulder, hugging her. She returns the hug and rubs circles on his back. Next, John goes completely limp as he passes out against Charlie. She shifts him so that he is on his side with his head in her lap.
