Bob frowned. "If we make a mistake, can't we just fix it? I suppose I could start using a pencil instead of a pen so that I can erase." Bob immediately wrote, "I will find five more of these pages and a pencil in the next five minutes." Halfway through writing the sentence, he turned the page so that Deedra could read it while he finished writing. That was easier than trying to explain.

Without another word, Bob took off walking, watching for the five pages and a pencil. Suddenly there was a flash of light, and there was a person walking next to him, about a yard away - an angel.

Bob looked at him only long enough to verify that he wasn't a page, then went back to searching.

"You seek power. But for what purpose?"

Bob scowled at the angel. He didn't know how to answer that though, so he didn't try.

Edie skidded to a stop and looked back and Kari, "Hi, I'm Edie, excuse me." She spun back around and ran at Anthony. She was fast, fast enough to make the track coach drool, and the captain to turn green. She used this o her advantage as she put her head down and tackled Anthony to the ground, she could feel her neck straining, but Anthony came down like a ton of bricks. Edie formed a fist, pulled back and punched Anthony in the nose. With a cry he flopped back, unconcious. Edie stood, shaking.

((I actually didn't care who saved Edie, it was more to get everyone together to meet for real))

Kari watched in amazement and respect as she watched Edie tackle the guy that had been chasing her. When Kari heard it suggested that they call the police, she noded agreement. But then she heard the sirens coming closer. "I don't think that will be necessary, Dee, I think that they're already here."
She turned and pointed in the direction of the sound.

"Hmm....i think it's....." He paused, stroking his chin.

"No. We need John...." Edward said, quite calmly, despite the fact he was freaking out.....They needed to find her, before she cleared her thoughts and....Reported them to the police.

"Eeh!"Dee was panicking. She just couldn't run away, not with the cart. She rushed to it, and tried to push it far away, but she was just too sore. It was too late to flee. A police man approached.
"What happened here? Why is that man unconcious?"
If she told him she did it out of self defence, Anthony would tell a differnt story when he woke up...
"uh, he is a dangerous guy, he tried to attack, had to defend..." She replied, trying to sound shaken up.
"Why don't you come down to the station and explain in detail."
"No,no...Must finish shift..."
"It's ok. We'll call your employer and explain the situation."
She was having touble comming up with an excuse. "Have to put away cart..."
"Fine, Where do you put it?"
"Behind store. Four blocks away."
"very well. Officer Ramone will escort you."
Dee nodded, groaning in her mind.

When a police officer came up to her he asked, "What happened here?"
Kari didn't quit know herself, but she told him what had seen happen. "That boy was runnig after a girl and it didn't look like she wanted any bit of his attentions. I get a bad vibe from him. The girl he was chasing ran off though before I could ask what happened."

The officer nodded and told her they would take him down to the station for questioning. She smiled her gratitude. Then looked over at Dee. She was disappointed that she was putting away the cart because she had wanted a drink to abate her thirst.

The officer interrupted her thaughts to ask "Why is that tree charred? And what caused it?"

She shrugged and replied, "I don't know. It was like that when I entered the park. I rather prefer to let matters like that pass from my mind. dwelling on unknowns wastes time that I never seem to have."

She was privately thinking that she had to get the officer off the trail. Kari didn't want the police to get involved with her own investigation.

At the station, they took her to the room where they question suspects. Not a good sign...The police chief and a detective sat accross from her.
"Are you calmer now?" the chief asked.
"I think so."She decided to tell as much truth as possible, in case they put her on a polygraph test.
"I will question you first. Let's start with your name."
"Deedra Ragan."
"Ok, Deedra, tell me about the burned tree."
"I was at my stand, minding my business, when a man lit it on fire, some how. I didn't catch what he looked like, nor how he did it, though. I called 911. But soon, a surprise rain shower came through, for about 10 minutes. It extinguished the tree before the fire department could get there." She explained
"And the unconcious man?"
"He was chasing a girl who had been a customer. She looked terrified, so, out of concern that he would hurt her, I ran in front of him so he would fall when he ran into me. Her boyfriend, I assume, came about then and threw a rock at the guy, missing him. the guy got up to charge, but I grabbed his pants, they fell. The girl turned back and ended up punching him in the nose, knocking him out. Then they ran away. I was just about to."
"Detective, I believe, it's your turn." the Chief said.
The detective nodded, turning his attention to Dee. "Are you aware that there havae been mysterious murders in town?"
"Yes, I have been watching the news."
"It seems very convienient that it would rain so suddenly, just as the tree was beginning to burn. No where else reported rain. Can you explain that?"
"No, sir. What are you saying?" She said, thinking, "uh-oh...Is he going to connect me to the murders?"
"I'm saying that an outside supernatural force could be my only explanation. Were you part of that force?"
"If I were, why did I call 911?"
"So you could use it as a cover! Now answer the question yes or no!"
"YES! I did cause it to rain! I found some pages that makes whatever you write come true. Only after I called 911 I remembered what I had and what I could do. I did not, and would not, EVER break the law with the pages."
The detective looked at the chief and nodded.
