Title: Eyes
Plot: Eyes…They can be the windows to the soul. But, for Connor, they can also be the beginning of a beautiful nightmare.
"You're late," Lester grumbled, his beady eyes narrowing at us as he spoke. I shrugged.
It wasn't like I cared what he said. He was lucky, he got to stay tucked up in his little office all day. He could very easily go back to sleep any time he wanted. Unlike the rest of us who had to have days like this.
Days like this where we were woken at 3 in the morning by a beeping anomaly detector. Days like this where we had no idea whatsoever what time we would be home.
A slight smirk came across his face. "Well, you ought to care, Mr. Temple," he said, as if he was reading my mind. "It may come in handy."
I started to say something, until Abby stopped me. She touched my forearm lightly, shaking her head at me once she glanced over and noticed the annoyed look on my face.
She knew me too well. Just by hearing what someone said to me, she would already know my reaction, sometimes even before I did.
"Come on," she said softly, wrapping her arm around mine as we continued down the corridor.
