“Brett!” Rachel admonished.
“And now we know why
you
haven’t been winged yet,” Clay muttered.
“Oh and I just love yours,” Brett shot back sarcastically.
“Yo, let’s stay on track,” Tyrell said. “We don’t have a lot of time. You know what I’m saying?”
Mavis glanced at a three hundred-foot time piece. Instead of minutes it measured days. A team of angels suddenly converged on the piece, they peacefully floated around it, then as if pre-arranged, six flew to the bottom and six soared to the top, then they flipped it. Rocks the size of beach balls slipped down. “You’re right. We’d better get on it, time is running out, and we’re wasting it by all this bickering.”
“Okay guys let’s review the files,” Brett said. The only sounds were birds singing and water crashing against rocks while they read their information. “He says that there’s a looking glass for us to view the subjects,” he said as soon as they were done.
“A looking glass?” they murmured to themselves.
Mavis pointed to a pond that was so still it looked like a mirror. “What about that?”
Their eyes widened, that pond wasn’t there a second ago. No matter how long they were in Heaven, they still weren’t used to His powers. Brett led them to a pool of water.
They all peered intently into the pond, an image of a lady and man eating dinner in a restaurant materialized. “I see our first project.”
“She’s pretty,” Clay murmured. She looked like an old girlfriend.
“She looks so happy and in love. It looks like she has everything, what are we supposed to do with her,” Mavis wondered.
