Something about her changed him, awakening an obsession that went beyond desire—he needed her completely. Now she finds herself drawn into his dangerous world, hanging out with him and his gang in the small town of Castle Rock.Being one of the most feared people in Castle Rock was nice for Ace. He loved it and drowned in the pleasure of being feared. When he met her, his life changed. For better or for worse? Nobody knows. He eventually got her to hang out with him and the rest of his gang.

It's about mid-day in September of 1959. He was sitting in the back of a truck, shining a piece of metal he had found. His switchblade idly in his other hand as he held it against the metal. He was staring at her as she talked to Eyeball.
"Hey, baby, c'mon over here." He called out, the nickname slipping out of his lips. He wished they were together. He'd make her be his.
