"Bei dir geht ja nichts ab, sagte Bobby. Lass mal die Flinte sehen, meinte Kevin. Ted möchte die beiden so gerne beeindrucken, denn Freunde gewinnen ist schwer, wenn das Haus schon zum Verkauf steht, weil die Eltern in der kleinen Stadt keine Arbeit mehr finden. Er zeigt ihnen das Gewehr, geht nur einen Moment aus dem Zimmer. Da fällt ein Schuss, und Bobby liegt tot auf dem Esszimmerboden. Man kann an etwas schuld sein, auch wenn man es nicht getan hat."
