John looked around frantically. Damn. Everything looked alike right now. They had lost Teyla and Ronon in a scramble to avoid a crowd of children.
"You don't know?" Rodney sighed.
"At least you didn't lose me," John pointed out.
"For all the good that has done," Rodney muttered.
"Let's go over there and catch our breath." John pointed to a brick wall that seemed quiet.
"Okay, okay," Rodney nodded. They put down their packs and Rodney dug out a power bar. "Oh. Chocolate chip!" Rodney grinned. He tore off the wrapped and took a bite.
"Should have brought water," John commented.
"I'm not sure it's worth the risk to get a drink," Rodney nodded as he looked around the plant he was standing behind. "That mob is pretty unruly."
"I know," John agreed. "I can wait."
Rodney looked speculatively at the wall. "What is this for?"
John had thought of shelter, not as anything else. "If we follow it, maybe we can get out of here!"
"Let's go, then!"
It worked!
John took a deep breath of fresh air as Rodney asked, "Okay, we got out of the mall. Where did we park the car?"
