Yup, fucked indeed. After, once again, stomping through the shrubbery of Denielle's parents' backyard property for God knows how long, we emerge at the southeast end of the house near the kitchen. I can see the freaking SUV on the other side of the fence from where we're sitting ducked between two massive planters. George pulls out his phone, set to the dimmest brightness; I have no idea what he is doing even though I am right next to him. He types several words and pockets the device again. I try to catch his eye, but he stares at something along the wall I can't identify.

Suddenly, the entire house goes dark, and a few seconds later, something hits me on the head from above.

Mother—

I look up and wait for my eyes to adjust to the complete darkness. The "something" is a free-climbing rope Oliver must've left behind when he went to college. I remember this was one of his hobbies growing up. It's hanging down from the third story window, and a head peeks out from above. I glance over, and George's Pennywise grin is back.

Just. Great.

He gestures at me, then at the window, and I mouth, "What?"

He points again, and I get what he expects me to do. "You're not fucking serious?" I keep my voice low, but I might as well have shouted; it's that silent.

Pennywise turns his usual self again. "Get your ass up that rope and into the house. You have three minutes before the backup generator kicks in, and then you can kiss the phone in your pocket goodbye. Nate was very clear about what to do when you don't follow the plan. And this is the plan."

My inner five-year-old comes out, and I mumble, "Nate can kiss my ass!"

George starts reaching for the pocket I stashed the phone in, and I jump backward. "Jeez, dude. Chill out. I’m going!" He seriously would’ve taken the phone back. Fucker.

The grin is back on George's face. He is enjoying himself immensely, and for the first time, I have the urge to clock my new friend. Scary or not.

I wrap the rope around my calf and ankle and grasp it with both hands. One more look to the side and I'm off. Thankfully, this is something we do regularly during practice, and I reach the window's ledge in no time. Wes grabs me by the belt loop and hauls me into the room. We land ungracefully on the floor, and before I can say anything, Wes has the rest of the rope pulled into the house, the window shut, and is dragging me across the hallway into another room. The door closes behind us, and when I turn, I see Denielle leaning against it. She scans every inch of me—probably for injuries—while both her hands cover her mouth.

"You're back," she breathes out.

Without another word, she launches herself at me. My arms instinctively wrap around her. Wes’s hand lands on my shoulder, and I glance over at my best friend of ten years.
