Les Shields has come to "Seekers of the Lost," an agency that specializes in reunions. After having attended his tenth high school reunion, he failed to meet up with a particular classmate and is eager to locate his whereabouts. The receptionist states that some information came in on him and steps out to locate it.

However, it isn't she who returns but Craig Fenimore, the man in question. He appears affable enough, but Les reveals him to be the chief nemesis of his junior high and high school years. Though currently a success, Les is still haunted by Craig's indignities, which include verbal and physical taunting, terrifying his disabled younger brother, and stealing one of his most treasured possessions: a fourteen karat gold guardian angel medallion that his grandfather had given him on his sixteenth birthday. In order to move forward, he needs to purge himself of these memories and longs for one opportunity to settle the score. Craig surpasses that thought with one of his own, and the reason he has come to see Les: to ask for his forgiveness.

After confronting some demons of his own, he learned the liabilities of his former persona: earning the fear of everyone, but the love of no one. He admits his transgressions and has turned his life around by learning how to give. He reminds Les of the many good memories associated with those years and urges him to place his concentration there, and on the future that is resplendent with possibilities for him. Les accepts the apology and Craig leaves. When the receptionist returns, she reports that Craig Fenimore had died in 1992. On her desk is a trinket she holds up. It is the guardian angel medallion of long ago, validating Craig's word and reminding Les of the timeless power of forgiveness.
