John was wrapping gauze around his head and over his purple eye, making sure to get the bandage under his hair so as to not make it so obvious. He had already put some dried meat from a hamburger under the gauze and over his eye, so as to make it look swollen. Once finished, he looked himself over in the mirror and decided he'd done a decent enough job trying to blend in. Might not fool a doctor, but it should certainly trick somebody who doesn't know a thing about medical practices. 

John then opened the door to the men's restroom inside a burger joint, looking around the place with his one, uncovered eye. It was weird, this whole one-eyed concept, but it was necessary. John walked the door to leave, and a woman was approaching the door to enter. John opened the door and stood to the side to let the lady in, to which he noticed she gasped slightly at the sight of his eye. But the woman didn't speak, she just hurried through the door. John took that as a sign of success, and left the burger joint to take in his surroundings as best as he could. Now, with his disguise complete, it was on to the true matter; the gift he could sense being used nearby. So John walked up and down the sidewalk on one side of the road until the sensation in his mind peaked, and he crossed the street.

"A public library? Clever..." John muttered and chuckled to himself. This gifted was hiding out in plain sight? John was impressed. He proceeded to enter the library and followed his senses until he noticed a fairly pretty girl sitting in a chair in the corner of the library, reading a book with her hair covering her face. He hesitated a moment, and the approached to ask a simple question. "Excuse me, miss, but uh...do you know where the science fiction section is?"
