That night, Mikes voice cut out. He stopped talking and you could hear something in the background. Like, manic laughter.
A WEEK AND A HALF LATER UWU
"Jonathon?" I open the door slightly to my brothers room.
"Will. Hi." He turns to face me.
"Do you know where Derry is?" I ask.
"Yeah doofus, we're moving there." He messes with my hair.
"Yeah but I..." I stop and glance at his desk.
"Can I borrow your computer?" I ask him. He backs away from his desk.
"Sure." He stands up and turns on music. I'm too distracted to listen.
Search: Derry, Maine in...
I'm not finished typing when the first result shocks me.
"What about Derry?" My mom asks, coming in with two bottles of water.
"N-nothing" I stutter, quickly shutting off the screen.
"Mom have you heard from Mrs. Wheeler?" O ask. She shakes her head.
"Not since Thursday." She answers.
"Two days before." I say to myself.
"Two days before what?" She asks.
"Can I go find the guys? And Max and El?" I ask, standing up. My mom nods.
"Don't stay out after 9. Who's house?" She asks in that annoying mother way.
"Probably Dustin's." I tell her.
"You will be at Dustin's house and Jonathon will be coming to pick you up at 9pm sharp. Understood?" I nod. I run to my room, grab my walkie talkie, and try to get ahold of Dustin.
"Yolo." Dustin answers abruptly.
"Can I come over? It's about Mike." I explain.
"Yeah. Come over now. My mom isn't home." He tells me.
"Okay be there in 10." I grab my backpack and put my walkie talkie in it. Then, I head out to the garage to grab my bike.
"Dustin!" I call, parking my bike outside the garage.
"Hi Willy! Dustin should be upstairs." His dad says gently.
"Thanks Mr. Henderson."
"Dustin! I'm here." I call.
"Dustin?" I repeat.
"Dustin I swear if you jump out at me..." I swing the door to his room open. He's not in there. I notice something in the corner so I go to pick it up.
"What's this?" It looks like a deflated red balloon.
"Huh?" Is Dustin missing too?
