The Darkness followed one of the people he was previously watching into an abandoned store, still controlling the darkness around him to keep somewhat hidden. It wasn't exactly the best way to hide, as it looked like a moving mass of darkness while he walked, but it helped. He wandered into the back, picking up a ball peen hammer. If he was going to follow these guys to see what was going on, he might as well get some extra protection in case his darkness didn't work.
The Darkness returned to following the person picking up screwdrivers in time to hear him say "... Against Zalgo." He searched the vessels memories for the name, but didn't find anything. He watched another person enter the store. The Darkness stepped on something small and he slid a little, the small object making a high pitched scratching noise that could be heard throughout the store. He stiffened up and remained still, doubling up on the darkness surrounding him to try to stay undetected.
