Mike leans on Mary Sue, his ankle hurts but he tries to be strong and fight the pain back, besides, he used to hurt himself a lot, when he hang out with the Losers club, especially when someone, most likely Richie, suggested to play war, all of a sudden he feels pathetic, the way he fell from his bike was pathetic, he is just glad his friends were not there to witness the scene, Eddie would have probably had a heart attack ( "We should really go to the hospital, Mikey, that's pretty bad, you could have broken something, that ankle is swollen, please we should go, according to my mum..." ) or worst of all, and he shivers while he thinks about his name, Henry Bowers, but right now his main goal is to save Richie's sister, he can't even imagine would would had happened if Bowers had arrived earlier at home, the thought is so messed up he doesn't even want to find an answer. They run towards the Bowers farm, Mike bites his tongue, the pain is almost unbearable.

"Are you ok?" Mary Sue asks, but the boy doesn't answer, something has caught his attention, with horror, he notices Belch's Trans Am in the garden, but no one is in there.

"Fuck ... Fuck ..." Mary sue starts crying, she is on the verge of a panic attack.

All of a sudden, she feels a hand on her shoulder, and she lets out a terrified scream, but when she turns around, with relief, she sees Angie in front of her, red cheeks, crazy hair, out of breath, like she's been running for miles.

"Oh, thanks God, you're here! I was so worried! Listen, I... "

"MARY SUE, HOW DID YOU DARE?!"

In five years of their friendship, Marie Sue has always considered Angie a sweet and quiet girl, but right now she looks like the devil. From what she remembers, she had only seen her like that one time, when his brother Richie was playing baseball in their garden with Bill and Stan (Eddie's mom does not allow him to play, because she says he has asthma), and he accidentally broke a window while their parents weren't at home. She went crazy, Mary Sue was almost scared for the kid.

But right now, she is yelling at her, not at Richie.

She lowers her eyes guilty, she deserved it, after all.

"Do you realize the risk I took? Who knows what would have happened?!"

"Yes, sorry, you're right, you see...Mike, he fell and he hurt himself, so I took him home, oh my God, what an idiot I'm very sorry."

"Mike?" Angie calms down, she has just noticed his brother's friend. "Mike, you look fine, are you ok?"

"Yes, Angie, and you? Are you ok?"

"Yes...yes.." Angie is breathing deeply, now that she knows that Mary Sue left for a good cause, she calms down, besides, she has her book now, and nothing bad happened.

"You made it! Your book!" Mary Sue points it, she's excited.

"Yes, thanks God"

The sun is going down. "Maybe it's better for you girls to go home, it will be dark soon." Mike says, the whole story is crazy, he doesn't even know what to think about it, that girl really intruded in Bower's house, she must be even crazier than her brother.

"Yeah sure, uh Mike?" Angie looks at him.

"Yes?"

"Could you please not tell my brother about this? It's complicated..."

Mike smiles "I bet it is, don't worry, I will just forget about this"

"Thank you, I appreciate it" Angie says, relieved, she is exhausted.
