[ ...not much of a waiting room, this one, is it. John makes an initial survey of the place when he gets shoved in- a check for accessible doors, windows, ventilation shafts- and eventually winds up finding a place to stand. He'd take a corner, honestly, but they're already occupied.

And as it turns out, demanding answers from the guards is useless. Couldn't have guessed that from spending time walking among the other residents. He tries it anyway, quite calmly and efficiently, just in case.

From there he shifts his attention to trying to help whoever else got picked up and escorted to this place (oh, especially the ones who weren't so lucky as to calmly march in with their hands up- another day, another abduction). Options are sadly lacking in quick medical care as well at the moment. He can't do much more than look them over and try to ask around for spare layers to tear up if people come in bleeding. Makeshift bandages, anything to apply pressure with. Work with what you have, or so it goes.

When it gets down to it, there isn't really a better option than waiting. Just what he gets for getting curious.

At least they're not slapping on collars while they go. ]
