~*April 4th, 1959*~

"Whoa, is she holding a whip?" Jack asked.

Cliff leaned over his shoulder and saw a photo of a woman in lingerie with one knee on a bed holding a whip with a man lying seductively on the same bed.

She also had a black tail and cat ears.

Cliff chuckled.

Jack turned to the other page, which featured women in lingerie embracing each other.

"Has it been twenty minutes yet?" Liam asked from behind them.

They both turned around.

"What's it to you?" Cliff asked him.

Liam shrugged.

"Hey, Cliff," Jack put his hand on Cliff's shoulder, "Maybe we should ask Bobby if he wants to play 'crack the whip' with us."

Cliff sighed.

"What? It could be fun."

"Right, until Bobby flies off. Then, what?"

Jack removed his hand.

"Damn, you're right."

Jack glanced over at Keegan who was sitting on the bed.

"Better leave Keeg out too."

Cliff was about to open his mouth to respond when the sound of a loud screeching brake was heard outside.

Cliff swallowed nervously.

He looked at the clock.

It was 4:17 PM.

Cliff ran over the grass on his home's front lawn and stumbled onto a horrifying scene.

Bobby was lying on the street in front of the house, and there was a car parked close to him.

A woman was crouched down next to him and she was touching him gently.

"Hey! Get the hell away from him!" Cliff yelled as he ran over to them.

The woman stood up immediately and backed away from Bobby.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't see him!" The woman said hysterically.

Cliff fell to his knees beside Bobby, while the other three stood silently behind him.

He lifted Bobby's head which revealed a pool of blood behind him.

His usual big round eyes were squinting, his medium brown hair was matted with blood, and his white complexion looked paler than usual.

"You're gonna be okay. Alright?" Cliff told him.

Bobby didn't respond.

He could only breathe shallowly.

Cliff gently put his head back down and looked around to find that his marbles had flown out everywhere when he got hit, save for one that was near Bobby's hand.

Cliff grabbed the marble and showed it to Bobby.

"Look, Bobby. I have the marble. We'll play after you get better. Alright?"

Bobby remained unresponsive, so Cliff tossed the marble aside and held Bobby up by his shoulders, while also holding his head gently.

"Bobby?"
