"Let's go so you can get ready for your next class," Amos suggested.
Joanna left with Amos but she couldn't stop her heart from feeling uneasy.
Joanna attended a few more classes with Amos by her side the entire time.
Just when Amos and Joanna got ready to attend her last class for the day Amos received an urgent call from one of his men.
He had no choice but to leave Joanna to attend the class alone.
"I will join you and your little man later so expect me back soon," Amos gave her his word before he left the campus in a hurry.
Attending the last class without Amos felt different since she has gotten used to always having him around but she tried not to let it affect her concentration.
She had hoped Amos would return before her class ended but unfortunately he didn't so she had to go to pick up Anthony alone.
Joanna hailed a cab outside the campus and when they got close to Anthony's school she called his cell phone.
She informed the boy whose school had closed about thirty minutes ago that she was almost at her school.
After the man dropped Joanna off opposite Anthony's school Joanna took out her cell phone from her backpack ready to call Anthony's line one more time.
She was about to place the cell phone on her ear when an excited voice called out to her.
Raising her gaze she was surprised to see Anthony waving at her from the opposite street.
"I told him to stay inside so why did he come out," Joanna muttered and waved back at the smiling Anthony.
"Wait there. I will come to you," Joanna instructed.
Joanna patiently waited for the road to be cleared of cars. After waiting for three minutes they were no longer cars in sight so she started approaching where Anthony stood.
As she walked the excited Anthony who was too anxious to wait moved towards her.
"I told you to wait, don't you ever listen to me?" Joanna scolded and continued walking.
Anthony and Joanna were about four steps away from each other when a strange wind blew past her.
Immediately she raised her hand and tried to protect her eyeballs. When she dropped her hand Joanna was shocked beyond words to see that she was standing exactly where the cab man dropped her some moment ago.
"What the hell just happened?" Joanna asked in utter bewilderment.
She was still thinking about what happened when she recalled that she was with Anthony before the earlier incident took place.
Before Joanna's brain could assimilate what was happening she saw a car driving towards Anthony at top speed.
At that moment Joanna's legs weakened causing her to stagger backwards. She was so shocked that her mind went blank at that instant.
"Get out of there, Anthony," She heard her voice scream even in her subconsciousness.
Those standing close by also screamed for Anthony to leave the road but the boy stood there like a statue waiting to be smashed into a million pieces by the moving black car.
Seeing that Anthony didn't move a muscle Joanna whose heart was almost at her mouth tried to go to his rescue but to her dismay the strange wind she felt earlier brushed past her for a second time, forcing her to remain in a spot.
"And what in heaven's name is going on here?" Joanna cried out.
Joanna hasn't felt so scared in all her life until today. As the car drew closer with each passing second, her pounding heart felt as if it would jump out of her chest any moment from then.
Joanna tried everything within her power to defy the strange force and go to her little brother's rescue but nothing worked.
All her powers chose to be useless at this dying moment. Even her new skill failed to work.
"If you think that I will watch my brother get killed in my presence then let me tell you that you are the biggest liar on earth...," Joanna muttered, her fists clasped.
She closed her eyes and summoned all her powers. "Because Joanna Anderson is not someone to easily mess with," She concluded.
Her eyes flew open and in a flash, she was standing beside Anthony.
Immediately, she picked Anthony up and they disappeared together.
If she had arrived even a second late the car would have crushed Anthony in a way none would have fathomed.
Just like magic, the car which looked like it was being controlled by some invisible force came to a halt after it missed its target.
All these things happened in a matter of a minute.
At the right corner of the large street, a lady was seen squatting with her hands clutching the boy in her embrace.
Even though they were out of danger her heart was still pounding like she just completed a marathon race.
Joanna was still grabbing Anthony this way when a hand touched her shoulder from behind.
"Get your hands off me," Joanna yelled and beat the person's hand away as if she had just been touched by the devil.
"Miss Butterfly, it's me, Ray," He introduced himself following her harsh treatment.
Joanna slowly tilts her head without letting go of Anthony. The way she grabbed Anthony was as if he would disappear the instant she let go of him.
"R-Ray...," She called out, surprised to see him there. "What are you doing here?" She demanded.
Her grip around Anthony's right hand tightened when she got a glimpse of the earlier car parked in the middle of the road.
Raymond followed her line of sight when he noticed that she had been gazing at a spot for over two minutes.
"I know what happened must have scared you but he is safe now so you can relax....,"
"Relax?" Joanna retorted. She slowly stood up to her feet. "Did you say I should relax when someone boldly tried to murder my little brother in my presence?" Joanna raved.
Her murderous glares which were focused on Raymond were as if he was responsible for the earlier incident.
"Big Sis, are you...," Anthony choked on his words the instant he got a glimpse of her fierce glares.
