🎈 CHAPTER 26🎈
°Carlita's POV°
We quickly started making our way out of the restaurant after we paid our bill. "That's what Pennywise does, right? He fucks with us. So, Stanley's probably fine." Eddie says.
"Mikey, do you have Stan's number?" I ask the man taking out my phone from my pockets.
"Yeah."
"Hey, Richie." A small boy called out, grabbing all our attention.
"How'd you... How'd you know my name?" Richie nervously asks, staring at the kid. "The fun's just beginning. Right?" The boy says, putting us even more on edge, and the kid having a creepy smile on his face didn't help the situation.
"What he said, is it..." Eddie tried asking, but he trailed off, uncertain himself. "Listen. You think this is funny? All right? Think this is some sort of game, huh? Well, fuck you, all right." Richie says to the child.
"Rich, be careful, dude." Bill tells him, but Richie didn't hear a word as he kept on yelling, "Fuck you! I'm not afraid of you!" The poor kid looked completely startled.
" 'The fun's just beginning.' The line from your act, dude. I'm a fan." The kid says, shutting Richie up, two adults was making their way towards us.
"Are those your parents?" Richie asks.
"Yeah."
"You want a picture?" Richie asks awkwardly.
"You okay, Dean? Come on." The boy's father tells him. "I think I'm good." The kid says going to his parents in a hurry. "Okay, cool. He's a good kid." Richie says to them as they walked in the opposite direction.
"Jesus, Richie. You don't remember a line from your own show?" Eddie asks him. "I don't write my own material." Richie admits walking faster. I kept on trying to call Stanley's number.
"I fucking knew it! I fucking knew it!" Eddie points out.
Outside I was finally able to get a hold of someone from the Uris residence.
"Hello Mrs Uris. I'm Carlita Horner, a very old friend of your husbands, I apologize for calling this time of the night." I say to the woman on the other side of the phone.
"You lied to us. That's not okay." I hear Eddie say to Mike behind me. "Yeah, first words out of your mouth should have been like, 'Hey man. You want to come to Derry and get murdered?'. 'Cause then I would have said no." Richie states.
"Guys." Ben says, trying to hear what Stanley's wife was saying.
"Fucking entrapment, man."
"Oh... He passed." Mrs Uris says, you could hear that she has been crying, meaning it did happen recently. "When did he pass?" I asked her, taking a glance at Bill who was holding in obvious tears, my own tears started running down my face freely.
"Yesterday. It was horrible, the way he died. His wrists. In the bathtub. I'm sorry. I have to go." The woman says. "We're all very sorry Patty." I tell her. "Thank you." And she hang up the phone after that, as my tears kept flowing down my cheeks, I felt someone's arm around my shoulders trying to comfort me, turning only to see it was Bill.
"Stanley. Pennywise knew. He knew before we did." Eddie says.
"We have to stop him. I have a plan." Mike states, but I knew it wasn't going to be easy to convince everyone to stay, I myself just wanted to get away. "I got a plan. Getting the fuck out of Dodge before this ends worse than one of Bill's books. Who's with me?" Richie states, hand in the air, Eddie also lifting up his arm in agreement.
Bill crying himself, I could only pull him into a hug, he didn't hesitate to put his arms around my waist.
"We made a promise to each other." Mike reminds them. "Let's un-make the promise." Richie says loudly. "Richie, other people are gonna die." Ben points out. "Other people die every day, man! We don't owe this town shit! Plus, I just remembered I grew up here, like, two hours ago. So, I'm fucking leaving. Fuck this." Richie says in a raised voice, making his way to his car. "I'm sorry, man, I'm with Richie." Eddie states.
"Eds, please."
"Listen. What? We stay, we die, that's it? I'm gonna go back to the inn. I'm gonna pack up my shit, and I'm gonna drive to my home. I'm sorry, man. Good luck." Eddie tells Mike, turning around walking away.
"No. Eddie. Please. Please, Eddie! Eddie, wait!" Mike calls after the man, but he didn't listen and got in his car.
"You should have told us, Mikey!" Ben states, following Beverly, probably also going back to the inn.
"Bill. Carlita. Please, guys. I'm begging you. Please. Just listen to me, guys. Please." Mike begs us, Bill let's go of me, as I wiped away the remaining tears, turning to Mike completely. "What are you gonna say? What could you possibly say that would make any kind of a difference? They're all gone." Bill asks, having a pretty good point.
"Come on. Let me show you guys something. One thing, and if you two want to leave, you can leave. Just let me show you this first. Please." Mike begs looking at both of us with desperation, Bill and I looked towards each other having a silent conversation, seeming to get to an agreement.
