Fill in the Blanks lazy susanOnline version lazy susan adu4 by Dyonne van Mulekom 1 The shops closed when the movie - goers came out into the dark Mulberry Street Shopping Center parking lot . It been one of the Superman films and Susan felt inspired . Stan would not have approved of her going to the movies alone , especially not back to the place she was robbed . But he was away and she'd taken all those self - defense lessons . Now she knew a thing or two . A group of dark bushes were her and her car . She walked confidently straight through them , then she stopped . She bent down slightly , and turned to look carefully behind her . She saw the man before he saw her . Everything she'd learned in her classes went her mind : she looked at his walk , the look his shadowed face , the object in his hands . Her breathing got quicker . She thought of the hours she'd worked to earn those fifty dollars , and of the so - - so who had stolen it from her so easily . She took from her pocket the little gun that Stan had taught her to use . Then , just as the man walked past the bushes , she jumped behind him so he couldn't see .
