Blindside question.

So, this is probably going to sound ridiculously easy to some folks, but I'm having some trouble passing those things that are going down the street while Case and Dawn are on their way to Case's office. I keep getting hit by them, and, consequently, dying. How do I get past those things? I think it's a timing issue. Either that, or I'm going the wrong way. On which side of me do I want the fountain? Also, I should walk forward only when the sounds have past to the other side of me, right That's what I've been doing? Any help would be appreciated. I've always had trouble with games where you can move in all four directions. I thought I would enjoy Blindside, though, so I grabbed it. Thanks, Shersey
