Had Ami's reflexes been on anything like Chloe's level, this would have been the perfect time to execute a hasty Lass Scamper out of the way, or even a graceful Youth Roll. Unfortunately, she only had the reflexes of a perfectly average untrained human teenager, so the maneuvers she actually used were a Stupid Babyflail followed by a Dumbass Shuffle. But she did go left, so she had that going for her at least.

She scrambled behind the concrete bench end and took cover. She could hear at least one heavy vehicle in the distance, but was it the bus or a truck? It was still too far to see. Meanwhile she peered cautiously out at Chloe and the cat, the latter of whom still seemed to be deciding which way to turn its attention. Which way would kitty choose to go? The suspense is terrible!
