Shawn: The Day Before School And Something Is Wrong
Shawn considered what to tell him, and settled on a variation of the truth. "Umm, I think I saw her yesterday evening, before my birthday party. She was over at Bradford's house, he's another kid that lives in the neighbourhood." It was dangerous, and he probably wouldn't have done normally, but if the officer went over to speak with Bradford, that would make it harder for him to do...whatever his next awful plan was. At the very least, if he got interviewed, that would be time he couldn't spend on doing other things.
