[edit] 7th Heaven Passages
- Henry Jablonsky couldn't see the boys clearly. The one called Hawk has snatched off his glasses and put them a mile away on the fireplace mantel, a good thing Jablonsky reasoned at the time.
- Hawk reached out and stroked Peggy's baby-blond hair, then pattered her damp cheek. "We're going to open all of your presents now, Mrs. J and yours too, Mr. J", he said. "Then we'll decide if we're going to let you live"
- "No, No, Mrs. J," Pidge said stuffing the sock back into his captive's mouth. "No don'ts. This is our game. Our rules."
- Hawk bent over, said, "Sorry dude, Mrs. Dude". He took the sock out of Jablonsky's mouth. "Say goodbye to Peggy"
- He screamed,"Pegg-yyyyyyy" as the Christmas tree bloomed with a bright yellow glare, then went up in a great exhalation of flame.
