"Is this the back Harlow road?" I ask. Teddy nods his head. "Gordie, Vern and I will take the left you guys take the right." Chris tells us. Teddy and I walk along the right side looking for the body. "I FOUND HIM! OVER HERE!" Vern yells. We all run to where Vern is standing. I stood on my tip toes to see over the boys and when I finally saw him I felt like I was suffocating. He was laying under a bunch of leaves. The train had knocked his Keds off. We all walked down to where he was. Chris grabbed a stick and move the branches away from his face. He had a few cuts. I wanted to cry the poor kid just went to go pick some berries.
"Wasn't planning on takin' the body from us were ya?" I turn my head around and see Ace. One of the cobras. Three other boys walk down the hill. My eyes lock with my brothers. "Sam?" I say. He turns away and walks back up the hill clearly ashamed.
"We found him, we got dibs." Chris says. Ace mimicked him. "We earned him. You guys came in a car." Chris says again. Vern's brother started yelling at him about how he was under the porch. "Yeah Vern told us how you found him. Oh Billy I wished we never boosted that car! Oh Billy I think I just turned my fruit of the looms into a fudge factory!" Teddy mimics them. I start laughing at Teddy. "Who the hell is this." Ace asks staring at me. "Brooklyn Williams, Sam's sister." I say to him. He chuckles and starts to fight with Chris again.
As the back and forth bickering goes on, Ace pulled out a knife on Chris. "You're gonna have to kill me Ace." Chris says. "No problem." Then a gunshot goes off. I look over and see Gordie holding it up in the air. Ace tries to make Gordie give him the gun but he doesn't budge. When Ace realizes Gordie is serious about shooting him they walk back up the hill. "I'll get you guys for this." Ace says and then gets in his car.
I turn back and look at Ray Brower and sighed. "What now?" I ask everyone. We all decided on giving an anonymous phone call when we got back. We started our journey back in silence.
