"You bitch," Nicki snarled, pushing 'Keith' off into a secluded corner.
"I deserve that," the young man shrugged. "For what it's worth, I really did mean to get the Medallion back to you. I just ran into some difficulties in doing so."
"You're an asshole," Katie said. Still, she wanted to hear what he had to say.
"If I was lying," he shrugged, self-depricatingly, "why would I be here, stuck in this 18-year-old body, instead of out living my own life as a grown up? I'm almost 50 now."
"That's a good point," Nicki's curiousity was piqued, "so what brought you here?"
"I got involved with the wrong sort of woman. This is my punishment. I don't want to talk about it."
"You deserve worse. Where's the medallion?"
"Her son has it. By now he might have figured out how to use it. He's about your age. At heart, at least. I want you to... charm him out of it."
Nicki nearly did a spit take. "Are you fuckin' serious?"
"I know you're reluctant to do this, Nicki, but it's the only way."
Nicki thought for a minute, then agreed, "on one condition. When this is all over... I get your body. and you take mine."
