Chapter5

Jaz sat silently on the mall roof top as she watched the last bits of sunlight slip away. She was listening to her mp3 player and was on her last battery, after this she wouldn't be able to enjoy the distraction of music for a long time. Jaz had been saving the last of its power for a time like this, when she wanted to push out all the bad things and just pretend that life was normal. She was imagining being with her family on a vacation somewhere watching the sunset when someone pulled at her arm. It was Paul and he looked panicked.

Jaz pulled out her head phones and tried to calm the boy so he would made sense.

"Take a deep breath then explain to me what happened." Paul reminded her of Justin, her little brother. Paul was younger but just as smart.

"On the east side of the building," he said slower this time "I saw a group of kids running, at least I think it was a group of kids, I heard screaming so I'm sure it was kids, grownups don't scream. Do they? I mean they've been acting weird lately but I don't thin-"he was begging to ramble again so Jaz cut him off.

"that's enough. Go run and find some big kids, or if you see nick or Jordan tell them to check it out, K?"

"what about you." He asked worriedly "will you be alright getting down stairs from here?"

"I'll be fine, but hurry those kids probably need our help." Jaz stood up and began limping her way to the door after Paul. She felt useless injured, she could do nothing to help, but even still the pain she felt physically was nothing compared to how she felt on the inside.
