Grab Them

Olivia marveled at Freddy' s work. The little, yellow globes were smaller than usual. They looked almost like lemon drops. "Pick up." Freddy says, snapping Olivia out of her trance. She shakes her head. "Yes, we must pick them up." Olivia and Freddy scramble to pick up the globes. They do the best they can, but they are like marbles. They scatter everywhere. Olivia and Freddy grab handfuls and shove them in their pockets. Unfortunately, they are not fast enough. The globes start to lift up into the sky. "Oh no, we were too slow." Olivia cries."I have an idea." Freddy says. He climbs to the top of the fence, and grabs the globes as they ascend into the sky. The majority whiz past him, but he was able to get a decent amount. Enough to keep up spirits. At least until a stern voice shouted "Get down from there." Sgt. Rodgers emerged from the alley.
