Paul began dating 16 year old Dorothy ' Dot' Rhone. For Paul, Rhone dressed like Brigitte Bardot. To Dot, Paul was loving and attentive. The Casbah was run by Mona Best. Her 18 year old son Pete was becoming a pretty good drummer. John, Paul and George changed the band's name to Johnny and the Moondogs. This was the so the group could be in a talent contest. 

While John was attending art college, he became friends with Stuart Sutcliffe. Sutcliffe helped John with his art. Paul was jealous. John moved out of his Aunt Mimi's house and moved in with Sutcliffe.

Things were not going well for John, Paul and George as a group. John and Paul had stopped writing together. As a music group, they had no name and no drummer. Their gigs were mostly art college dances.

One day, John asked Sutcliffe if he wanted to join the band as a bass guitarist. Paul knew he couldn't play. He was not happy.

Adam ran into Cain's home. He noticed Sarah on the floor next to broken furniture and shards of pottery. To Adam, it looked like violence had occured.

" Where is he?".

She did not reply.

" Sarah, where is he?".

She pointed around at the damage. " He's gone".

" Did Cain kill my son?".

Sarah began to cry. " Yes".

" Sarah, tell me where he is?".

Sarah stared at Adam. " I don't know".

" Sarah". Adam whispered. " How could you have done nothing?".

" I was scared". She glanced around the room. " I thought he was going to kill me".

Adam stopped at the crest of a hill. He stared at the valley below. It was filled with grass. Adam knew the area well. It was between Abel's pastures and Cain's fields. Then Adam noticed a patch of grass which looked depressed.

He walked downhill and then through the clearing. He walked up to a spot where the grass looked sickly. On the crushed grass, Adam noticed a pool of liquid. Adam examined the liquid with his fingers. It was blood. Then Adam noticed clumps of hair. He bent down and examined it. The hair was very light.

Fear came over Adam. Abel's?. That's impossible Adam thought to himself. The Almighty promised protection. 

Then Adam noticed footprints leading toward the river. He followed them. At the river's endge, Adam noticed more footprints. They were human and fresh. The footprints were probably only a day old. 

Perplexed, Adam scratched his chin. Cain?.

As Cain walked, a storm was raging. He was happy to be free of Abel's presence. He savored his final blow. That feeling frightened him.

Cain was hoping killing his brother would make the voice go away. The voice did not leave. 

Cain walked into his house. Sarah again was standing by the window.

" What's wrong Sarah?".

Fear had come over her face. " Your father was here asking if I had seen your brother?".

" Already?".

She stared at her husband. " You know your father will find him".

" I was just angry". Cain frowned. " That's why I did what I did".

" I told your father nothing".

" You know my brother is not coming back".

" What is going to happen to us?".

Cain walked through the doorway of their home. His wife Sarah was standing by a window. She was waiting for him.

Cain walked up to her slowly quietly a vision came to him of his brother on the ground dead.

Sarah's eyes stared at the stained figure in front of her. She knew what he had done.

" Sarah, I need your help".

She did not reply.

" My bloody hair". He whispered. " I need you to cut it".

She wiped her eyes. She nodded.

Cain sat down. She took a knife. She began her work. 

After a while, she stopped. She stared at her red stained hands. She began to cry.

Cain walked out of the house. Rain began to fall. He sat down under a large oak tree. He closed his eyes. A strange peace came over him.

Again, Cain could hear a strange voice in his head. 

" Bring the body to the river".

Cain wondered ' Why?".

The voice came again. " Take him to the river and wash himself".

Cain grabbed his brother's body by the neck. He began dragging him toward the river. Cain remembered how he felt as he made contact with Abel's skull. As he was killing his brother, Cain felt power and pleasure. He felt like God.

When he came to the river's edge, he threw his brother"s body into the icy water. 

" Cut it off".

Cain slowly started to wash the blood out of his hair.

The strange voice came back. " Go to Sarah your wife".

Cain stared at his gift by the altar. It was caked with dry blood from Abel's offering. Cain stared at his brother. " You have always played me for a fool".

" You have made your choices". Abel's voice hesitated. " And I have made mine".

" Father prefers you". Cain lowered his head. " He always has".

Abel looked at his brother. " I have done nothing to you".

Cain, now with hate in his eyes, stared at Abel. " Let's fight like when we were kids".

When Abel turned his head, Cain seized him by the throat. He picked up a nearby stone. He gripped it hard. With that hard rock, Cain began smashing it into the back of Abel's head. Then Cain began screaming. He smashed that bloody stone into Abel's head several times. He didn't stop until liquid, flesh and bone came out of Abel's head and torso. 

Cain knew his brother was dead.

Then a thought came to Cain. ' What now?'.
