*Monday Afternoon*

I could have sworn I'd seen that Jared kid driving his car around but I couldn't figure out where he'd gone enough to follow him. It didn't really matter, the only thing I had left now was my job. Perhaps if I could just get Jessica to talk to me she'd understand I only kissed back because... I'm a fool. There is no excuse for doing what I did, I didn't blame Kimberly but I had unconsciously been shunning her. Only talking about work and whatnot.

Kimberly seemed to be getting sicker by the day and I wasn't sure why exactly. She said she felt fine and she acted like she was fine too but her skin had started to look dull. I'd found a few more agents for our cause and a few more that were powerless, evidently someone was tricking people out of their powers. That's why I'd called this meeting.

"Alright," I said as everyone was gathered in. Only Rain was absent, but I'd tell her next time I saw her and her parents. "I called this meeting to let you all know something you may not already know about our powers. There are two parts, the physical side and the mystical side. The physical side is permanent but the other is not."

"What do you mean it's not?" Someone asked.

"Let me finish before you interrupt please," I said calmly. "If you promise to do something or swear something that is untrue and you fail to uphold your end of the bargain you will lose your powers."

Someone raised a hand and I pointed. They asked, "Is it permanent?"

"I don't know if it is or not," I sighed. "The only reason I brought it up is I've found several people who had powers but had lost them due to this. The description they gave me leads me to believe it's one of our kind. So be careful before you promise anyone anything or you might end up regretting it."

They talked to each other for a few minutes, "That's all I had. Dismissed."

I had asked Mike to call the meeting and let me be in charge otherwise I'd still be just the lowly peon I always had been.
