John's usual beaten track was solidly contained between the Ministry and Euston Road. His work occasionally took him out of the way, but as a rule he was a creature of habit, treading the same paths every day, in and out, back and forth. He'd rarely ventured further east than Whitechapel, really, and certainly not into the strictly Muggle sections.
Tonight, though, he'd been out in Bow Road on a report of a cache of cursed objects showing up in a bin in a Muggle parking lot, and - after a few hours of fruitless undercover interviews, which he was rubbish at in the first place - he'd decided he'd better just head back to the office to file his report, murky as it would have to be. Finding a place to Apparate unseen wasn't as difficult here as it usually was in other parts of the city, and he'd just found the beginning of a promising-looking alley when he began to hear some decidedly strange noises. Rather than turn back to the main road to find another concealed corner, he decided to push on. It was probably just some idiots brawling behind a pub, but in this line of work you learned to be paranoid. His fingers tightened around his wand as he turned the corners toward the source of the disturbance, but he didn't expect to have to do anything other than show up to run them off.
