The three of them were taken early in the year. Billy Corey was taken driving his '74 Ford LTD after tossing his girlfriend into a mirror. Teddy "Maddog" Creed knifed an old lady for her pocket change at the mall and was taken. And Kev Buckingham was taken after holding up some video store in the suburbs.
The three of them had taken the deep six. But the three of them would be back. Soon.
