Like Snow

Todd worked furiously on the blueprints at his desk while Eagle Eyes stared out the window. Eagle Eyes seemed almost at peace with his arms behind his back as he watched the ascending globes. "You work too hard." Eagle Eyes says to Todd."Somebody should." Surprisingly Eagle Eyes chuckles at the comment. "Even so, a man should not work to work. He should not deny himself the simple pleasures of life." "What are you going on about?" Todd asks. "Come here." Todd begrudgingly complies. Eagle Eyes watches Todd watching the outside. "This wasn't done by us?" "No. It's far too sloppy." Eagle Eyes says. "I'll say...but it sure is pretty." "Isn't it? It's just like snow." "Just like snow." Todd repeats. The two of them marvel at the outside world for a moment. "They've been after this for a long time." Eagle Eyes admits. "Then why don't we stop them?" Eagle Eyes appears disgusted and annoyed. "Let them toil all they want. To them they are just hunting monsters. They have no idea that they are holding reality in their hands and that they can shape it to their liking." "How do you know they don't know?" "I just do." "Are you sure you want to risk that? I mean this could be a huge game changer if they know." Eagle Eyes stares at Todd intensely. Suddenly there is a knocking at the door. He turns away from Todd to answer the door. "What news do you have?" He asks Davies. "The girl is working with Ms. Rodgers. They are attempting to break into the tower and take it over." "Good luck with that." "I agree sir, but I believe some precautions should be taken." Eagle Eyes sighs and glances back at the ascending globes for a moment. "I suppose you believe they are close?" He asks. "Yes, sir." "Very well. You have redeemed yourself." "Thank you sir. What should we do now?" "Sound the alarms." "And what about the other? The one we have captured." "He knows more. Don't give up on him."
