When the stranger finished the beer, he gently set the glass on the bar, turned to Zoie and said, "Where Do We Go From Here?"
Puzzled, Zoie replied, "I don't think that's a real song."
"Sure it is," said the stranger.
"Who sang it?", asked Zoie.
"Ummm, Burt Bacharach," he said.
"You made that up!" charged Zoie. "I hate you!"
With that, the stranger grabbed Zoie by the shirt collar and began to thrash her. In doing this, the jade amulet was torn from Zoie's neck. Zoie suddenly felt a peculiar feeling wash over her.
