Just as she promised, Lana was there at 4:00 on the dot. Jan ran out with a
big smile on her face.
"Lana!" She called "Lana!"
Lana caught her eye and waved to her, Jan ran down the orphanage stairs.
"Are we still going to the mall?"
Lana nodded "Of course we are"
Jan smiled from ear to ear.
"Great! Just go and sign me out"
Lana and Jan walked into the orphanage. Lana signed her out and they took Lana's car to the mall.
"So, Jan" Lana asked her "What are your favorite stores?"
Jan thought "Well, I haven't been to the mall in a few months but I like Claire's and Gadzooks"
Lana smiled "I love Abrecombie and Finch and American Eagle"
"Lets go window shop!" Jan exclaimed and Lana laughed.
Lana talked to Jan about normal 12-year-old things, First crushes, favorite TV shows and all of that. Jan held a shirt up to her chest.
"This is so beautiful, but I can't afford it"
Lana looked through her wallet "Let me get it"
Jan shook her head "Lana, It is 17.50!"
Lana held out a $20 bill.
"Don't worry about the price, Let me buy it for you"
Jan smiled gratefully and bought the shirt. When their feet ached they bought some milkshakes and took a brake sitting on the bench.
"Are you having fun, Jan?" Lana asked
Jan nodded "So much fun, even more than yesterday!"
Lana smiled "Great"
Jan sipped her milkshake and then froze suddenly.
"Lana, something is going to happen," She said quietly
"What?" Lana asked
"Lana, I can feel it something bad is going to happen," she said almost frozen with fear
Lana tried to calm the shaking girl down "Jan, nothing is going to happen"
"Lana, something bad is going to happen, please, we have to get out of here"
Jan got up and took Lana's hand, as they walked into a store they looked out to see a guy holding out a gun on a few people. They both froze in shock as the policemen tried to calm him down. They tried to yank the gun out of the guy's hand. They wrestled with it, until they set the trigger off and a few bullets lodged right on the bench where Lana and Jan were sitting the police handcuffed the guy
"You are so lucky those two girls moved" one of them hissed
They took the guy threw the crowd. Lana, still in shock looked down at Jan, who had tears in her eyes.
"Jan?" Lana said soothingly
Jan looked up, on the verge of crying.
"Jan?" Lana tried again "How did you know that something was going to happen?"
Jan started to cry.
"I'm so sorry I didn't tell you, Lana. I just wasent sure how you would react"
Lana thought for a second "With that Wendy's yesterday that was blown up.. You..You Knew it before it happened..."
Jan sobbed "It started when I was 10, I'd always know what would happen before it did, It would play like a movie in my brain. It is so scary"
Lana put her arm around the crying girl
"Oh God Jan"
Jan looked at her with sudden panic.
"Lana, you can't tell anyone, especially not the orphanage! They'd put me in labs and experiments! and.. and.. and.."
Lana hugged Jan before she went on the verge of hysterics.
"C'mon, there is someone I want you to see" she said quietly to the girl.
"Lana!" She called "Lana!"
Lana caught her eye and waved to her, Jan ran down the orphanage stairs.
"Are we still going to the mall?"
Lana nodded "Of course we are"
Jan smiled from ear to ear.
