Mary (a small girl); Mary's grandfather; The Parker Twins
She was a sweet little kid --- selling flowers on the street -- to help out the family, no doubt! I don't know what made me look up, but what I saw made my blood run cold!
When Archie saves a small girl from injury, he's given an interesting newspaper as a reward by her grandfather. The paper has stories in it from the one day in the future -- and Archie sees disaster in the headlines.
