The cry had come from behind them, where their leader stood.

"All of you who are old enough to vote need to find out where your elected leaders stand," she said.

All seven were big men, but their leader stood a good four inches taller than the rest.

The leader stood to one side and waved for a couple of the men to pull it open.

The other leaders stand for a range of mainstream Democrats.

And the leader of the deadly pack was standing right next to her.

Only the leader stood intact, for he had been behind the others.

The leaders looked at each other and then one stood forward.

At last, the leader came back and stood before them.

The two leaders stood for a moment, frozen by surprise.
