Go towards the commotion.

It takes a bit of time, but you finally reach it - it seems to be some kind of pillar. A large pillar, three stories high at the very least, made up purely of... some kind of striped animal? Some kind of giant weasel with something like tiger stripes over parts of its body. It's kind of hard to see, because there's a pretty wide police cordon around the thing.

"Move along, citizen!" a police officer tells you while you look. "This area might not be safe."

"Uuuhhh.... Okay then."
Eta stood there for a few more seconds, unsure of what to do.
"So... everything sorted out with that guy who was stalking me?"

"Not sure. The guy is in the backroom along with Schlomo and Ansie. They should be able to figure things out."

"...I see. Well then. Luz? Trey? Do you have any questions for the corpulent bovine?"

Mind if I ask why exactly the area isn't safe?

"Oh. Good. Good."
...
I hope that's not him I'm hearing.
...
"Okay. See you later!"

Go off in search of clothing stores. Specifically something selling something comfortable, something that Lois would probably like. Look at the displays together, see if anything catches her eye.

"...I see. Well then. Luz? Trey? Do you have any questions for the corpulent bovine?"

"No," Luz says flatly.

"No," Trey agrees, though very quietly.

"That settles it, then! You kids should go see Mr. Lee now that you're both straightened out. You should go as well, John!" the cowman says, then abruptly disappears into the ground.

"That was... colossally fucked up," Trey observes after a moment.

Mind if I ask why exactly the area isn't safe?

"That pillar of extinct animals over there may be explosive - don't panic, it'll all be under control soon. But all citizens should keep as much of a distance from it as reasonably possible in the event of something going wrong. We don't know what could happen."

John takes his wallet out of his pocket and looks inside of it.

"I should still have enough money left for some chow and booze. Lots and lots of booze. You kids want some, or do you want to go straight to that bastard Lee?"

"Fuck it, let's get it over with," Luz says, and Trey nods. "Let's go over there and kill that piece of shit," she then adds, which prompts a nod of rather hateful agreement from Trey.

"Motherfucker needs to pay," he says, nodding increasingly vigorously, his eyes becoming slightly wild.

"Whoa whoa whoa. Really? You're going to try and kill him? You saw what kind of friends he can summon right? There's no way you'll walk away from that alive."

"Yeah, but at least that smug fucker's not going to get away with it if I have anything to say about it. And to me, that makes it worth it."

"And I'd say watching that guy die would make me pretty happy, too. For just a bit, before the cow tracks me down and I'm tortured forever. And maybe even after that."

Try to touch the pillar, if they'll let me do so.
Otherwise, light another match.

"I...I need to go. I need to go and drink for about a month straight. I'm not even going to try and stop you, every time I'm with you I fuck it up for you."

John puts his hands in his pockets and sighs

"I'm done, done with Lee and done with this magic bullshit. You go do whatever you damn well please, I'm going to drink until I can't remember any of this. I hope I'll see you two around some time."

He holds out his hand to Trey.

He holds out his hand to Trey.

"Good luck with that," Trey says, shaking your hand. "If you need us, we'll be in hell," he adds, chuckling bitterly.

"Or somewhere like it, anyway. Time to do a bit of magic stuff, Trey. We'll need to be ready," Luz says, grabbing Trey's arm and pulling him away. "Happy trails, John! Hope you don't royally fuck up drinking yourself to death, for what it's worth!" she calls out to you as the two kids are already a slight distance away.

"Happy trails...eh?"

Go to Chow's chow, grab some take-away chow. Then head to the liquor store and buy the cheapest bottle of whisky they have. Then head home and consume both.
