In the early morning fog, there is a small group of people waiting for the coffee shop to open. Since it is a 24-hour coffee shop, the neighborhood is puzzled. There are ten people milling around the outside of the shop. They are: Lucas Shaffer, Otis Baumer, Syrius Hawkins, Xaiver Holland, The Detective, Spartacus Moore, Cleake, Abigail Watson, F. John Jeffery, and Evie Jakyl. Evie and Lucas, and then Lucas with Otis. Otis and Abigail. The Detective and Spartacus should chat as well.
The temperature is around 55.
Bus #17 that rides down H St. attempts to turn right and go pass the coffee shop, but for some reason stalls as it is turning. It is blocking H St. and allows only one way traffic on popular. Not much traffic is back-up since it is 7 AM. As the morning progresses the traffic gets worse. By 9 AM traffic is a problem. The bus driver gets off the bus and is smoking a cigarette. Shaniqua Washington walks-up to the driver, clearly irritated by something and they get into an argument.
Meanwhile, on the other end the the block, from 6 AM to 7:15AM customers can get a free waffle when he/she buys a cup of coffee. There is a line forming in the mist of the fog.
The radio station, WTF, is playing a morning mix: On Melancholy Hill by the Gorillaz, there there-Radiohead, Mr. Blue Sky (ELO), 4:33 (John Cage), Wannabe - The Spice Girls The Wall by Pink Floyd.
