      Leader: Holy Moldy!

      Kid #1: What is that?... Ewww, don't touch it!

      Leader: [Young Will Jeffries, the leader of the group of kids, gazes down in horror at a mutilated body ditched on the playground] ... It's a kid...

      Kid #1: I said don't touch it, Willy! Those cops'll throw you in the slammer!

      Leader: [Will sadly gazes at the dead kid and picks up a piece of paper lying on the ground nearby] What?

      [the paper has a weird bunch of letters and numbers written on it]
