"The Comedian"<br/>
<br/>
To Clara, Toby replied, "Yes, I imagine that it did.  Like I said, this isn't a place of theme-park faeries.  The 'Spook' probably wasn't a genie, I don't know enough faerie lore to tell you what it was, but imagine something powerful, near immortal and pissed about being locked away in a glass bottle.  For those faeries' sake, I hope one of them escapes to call in the cavalry and the heavy magical artillery."<br/>
<br/>
Cassie then marched by them in a huff, reminding Toby of the old bit, 'Which is strange because she got here in a Buick', headed toward the lights, down the path of death and decay. She'd pissed off the drifter, Josey, who angrily shouted at her departing backside.<br/>
<br/>
To Clara and Josey, Toby remarked, "That young lady is a death looking to happen."<br/>
<br/>
Then Toby sighed, "But she is headed in the direction that we're going.  That said, I'm going to walk and do my best to make sure I arrive in one piece at wherever it is we're going...."  He was going to add that he didn't want to arrive in the middle of a firefight and they couldn't likely do anything but he remembered seeing a stopper on the flying and now broken glass bottle.  <br/>
<br/>
First to Clara he said, "There was some kind of writing on the cork, wasn't there?"<br/>
<br/>
Then to Josie he said, "Josie, please run back and get the cork that was stoppering the bottle before it broke.  We'll wait here for you."</span></span></span>
