“You should get out of the park,” the Night Spider said. “It’s going to be dark soon. Not a safe place.”
A wide, confident grin. “It’s okay, I’m with my mom.”
Trudging along the path about a hundred feet away was a large, lumpish woman pushing a blue baby stroller. She was moving slowly and looked tired.
“So wacha doin’, spyin’on people?” There seemed no hostility or disapproval in the boy’s question.
“Peregrine falcons,” said the Night Spider.
“So what’re those?”
“Birds that hunt other birds. They live in angles and on ledges of buildings high up and snatch other birds right out of the air.”
“Sounds neat.”
“It is neat. That’s why I’m a bird watcher. In case your mother asks what the stranger you were talking to was doing. Bird watching. It’s my hobby. I especially like peregrine falcons.”
The boy raised his eyebrows curiously. “So these falcons just fly over an’ grab the other birds, like pigeons or somethin’ just flyin’ along, an’ then eat them?”
“That’s pretty much it. They do it fast. Things flying along up high aren’t as safe as they think.”
“And you watch it?”
“That’s why I’m here. I watch it and write down what happens.”
The boy started to say something more, but his mother called sharply and he waved a hand and bolted away to join her. His sneakered feet made soft slapping sounds on the paved path.
The Night Spider watched the slight, receding figure for a while, then raised the binoculars back to his eyes.
Found the correct window. …aren’t as safe as they think.
