BROOKLYN WAS CROUCHED DOWN and she had snuck across the garden with her hand locked around her brother's arm as he dragged her across. JJ and Pope rushed behind them, keeping low. It was more terrifying than it was earlier, one of the main reasons why it was so scary down there was because John B would be going down the well in complete darkness with only a flashlight. Brooklyn, being the worried sister that she was, of course, panicked and begged him not go down but he insisted as the other two boys were too scared.
Brooklyn covered the bottom half of her face with one of her brother's bandanas to stop dust and shit flying everywhere.
"Holy crap, you know what this is? It just hit me. Pope, look." Pope looked over at the blonde who removed his mask. "This is C.H.U.D. Full C.H.U.D."
"What is he talking about?" Brooklyn asked.
"Cannibalistic humanoid underground dwellers? Have you guys not seen that film?"
"Nope."
"Can't say I have, no."
"It's actually a good film. It's about cannibals that live in the sewers and under New York City, and it's like-."
"Babe, shut up." Brooklyn snapped, receiving a glare from John B but he shrugged it off because he had more important things to worry about.
"All right. How deep do you think this is, Pope?" John B asked, looking down the well.
"I don't know." He sighed.
The boys started to get John B ready so they could lower him down into the well. As Brooklyn watched her brother be harnessed up, her anxiety grew deeper and stronger but she remained as calm as she possibly could.
"Hey, boys. I have one request." John B groaned.
"Yeah?"
"Don't drop me." He demanded. "Hey, sis, don't panic. I'll be safe." John B pointed over at his sister who was chewing down on her nails, her eyes looking over at him for a second before he was lowered down by JJ.
JJ pretended to slip. "Okay! You're gonna die first, for sure."
"All right, just keep payin' it out nice and slow like that." Brooklyn shone the torch down while the boys slowly lowered him.
"Keep goin'."
"Wait, hold on one second. I'm gonna get situated." Brooklyn looked over at JJ to see him struggling with the rope. She rushed over to him, trying to grab the rope but before she could, the boy had slipped.
