The Rescuer Up Yonder

The next time you hear a loud whoosh in the sky over your head – look up! You might see Silicon Valley octillionaire Bill Lagos riding around on his brand new biologically engineered eagle! Yup, you read that right: The world’s most privileged people are now breeding genetically modified creatures and flying them over your homes.

And they’re also solving crimes!

Cameras rolled as Mr. Lagos boarded the eagle, named Timmy, for the first time. Dressed in a wizard’s robe and equipped with the Scepter of BUDS (Billion Units Downloaded/Sold), Mr. Lagos studied the sky before climbing awkwardly into a large golden reservoir attached to Timmy’s back. He finally stood, proclaimed loudly that the one true ring would be returned, and cracked the reins around Timmy’s neck. Looking quite inelegant, the pair shoved off and sailed boorishly into the sunset, with the loud sound of Timmy’s heaves growing more and more dim as they faded into the distance.

It was a cumbersome flight and admittedly difficult to watch. Perhaps Mr. Lagos is growing weary in his fight against humanity? The solution? Download one of his many apps today and do nothing as your personal data is harvested! Brittle ego pays for Mr. Lagos’ quest, and isn’t the most important thing in life knowing that you, too, are being protected by a magical beast riding superhero detective?

This has been a classic Real Mews story and it’s available with many others in a real book!
