Overhead the ball lightning shot away towards the exit ramp of the bridge. Egon relaxed, only to cower down into the snow on top of Janine, who had gone silent. The spitting orb wheeled around, coming in low and fast.
Hoping the grounding cable would work, Egon covered his head with his hands and buried his face in Janine's coat, expecting another blast of electricity.
…
…
…
Finally he raised his head; spinning right over them, the ball lit up the snow in stark black and white shadows, a much smaller pinpoint of light orbiting it.
No, not orbiting, herding.
The ball of lightning sizzled, lunging at Egon and Janine. The smaller light immediately placed itself between it and them.
Egon came up to his knees in the deep snow, staring upwards, glasses reflecting the energy being given off taking out and activating his PKE meter.
If his suspicions were right, what Egon was looking for was right below them – the second light just added to the evidence.
