We all help Bill set up the map of Derry in his garage.

Me and Mike both close the garage door. Then Bill turns on the projector.

"Look, that's where G-G-Georgie disappeared. There's the Ironworks and the black spot." Bill said.

"Everywhere it happens, it's all connected by the sewers." Bill said. "And they all meet up at the well house." Bill added. "It's in the house on Neibolt Street." Stan said. "You mean that creepy old house that the junkies and hobos like to sleep?" Richie asked.

"I hate that place." Beverly said. "I always feel like it's watching me."

"That's where I saw it. That's where I saw the clown." Eddie said. "T-t-thats where it lives." Bill says as Eddie takes a breath from his inhaler.

"I can't imagine anything wanting to live there." Stan said.

"Can we stop talking about this? I can barely breathe. This is summer. We're kids. I can barely breathe. I'm having a fucking asthma attack. I'm not doing this!" Eddie ranted. He then rips down the map.

"What the hell! Put the map back!" Bill tells Eddie. Eddie shakes his head 'no'.

Then, the projector keeps flipping through family photos from Bill's family. "What happened?" Bill asked. "What's going on?" Stan asks. "Oh my gosh." I say.

Then, the projector stops on a certain photo where his moms hair is covering her face. The photo then starts to zoom in on Georgie. Then it starts to zoom in on his mom. Each time the photo changes, the hair moves out of his mother's face. It reveals the clowns face. The same clown I saw in my basement.

"What the fuck is that!?" Richie shouts. "I don't fucking know!" Eddie shouts after Richie. "Turn it off!" Beverly shouts to Bill.

"Turn it off! Turn it off!" Stan yells. Mike then kicks the projector to the ground. The scream tilts. The clown from the photo is gone. Then, the projector keeps changing photos again.

It reveals the clown again. This time, it's a more blurry photo. The photo changes again, except the clown disappeared again. Suddenly, the clown pops out from the screen and starts chasing us around the room. We all go into the corner over by the garage door, except for Beverly. She is against the wall as the clown is right in front of her.

Ben then opens the garage door. Then, the clown disappeared.

Beverly then walks over to us. "Thank Ben." Beverly says as she puts her hand on his shoulder. Then, she goes over to Bill and hugs him.

"It saw us, and it knows where we are!" Eddie announces. "Yeah, no shit." I say.

"It always did." Bill replies to Eddie. "So let's go." Bill says as he walks out of the garage. "Go? Go where?" Ben asks. "Neibolt. That's where G-G-Georgie is." Bill said. "After that? Are you crazy?" I say. "Yeah, it's summer." Richie said. "If you say summer one more f-f-fucking time." Bill said. He then grabs his bike and starts to ride off. "Bill! Wait!" Beverly calls out.
