When I arrived I was told to sit in that now famous chair of perpetual waiting for Miss Davis. I hoped it would go a good as it did the last time. ... She saw me from down the hallway waiting for her and I the look in her eye made me very nervous. For some reason the butterflies in my stomach were the size of pigeons. She came over and held her hand out for the paper in my hand. I handed it to her and she opened the door and motioned with her hand for me to enter with a twist of her wrist. . "What are you talking about?" I said. I've done things differently." No you didn't," he replied. "While, I understand that your memories ofthis day are 20 years old, today has gone nearly exactly the same as itdid the first time around. Everything down to even playing with yourselfin the shower." Hey. Wait I didn't..." I tried to interject. "But I kicked ass on myComp-Sci project. I aced this drivers' test." Tony aced that project too. Tony passed the drivers test. Did youforget?" He chucked. Her face flushed briefly, he guessed from anger. "What kind of greeting is that?" she demanded. There was no humor in her look when she said it."It's not a greeting," he retorted, once again amazed at his own boldness. "It's a curse against my bad luck." Bad luck?" I guess I should be happy I made two years without anyone finding out where I was. What year in school are you?" Since she had books with her, he knew she was a student."I graduate in two weeks." Damn! Damn! Damn! I came that close. " I know that, Zack, an' they know that. But that's their way of sayin' 'Thank you.' Jus' accept the gifts an' go on 'bout your business. It would be best if you didn't go flashing them thin's around in public or any of us talkin' about 'em, because them amulets would attract thieves an' murders like flies to honey. Now, let's git back to work."Meanwhile, a different kind of meeting was taking place in San Francisco's Chinatown. A lavish, multicourse dinner was being served in the private.
