The echoing of the water splashes and collective murmuring of the losers' were the only things that could be heard in that narrow sewer.

. . .

Eddie had been taken. He'd been taken by that evil, trans-dimensional alien clown. And he'd left the traces of—hopefully not his own blood— behind, smeared grossly across the walls of his very own living room. He was trying to protect his mother from that son of a bitch, and had been captured instead. Richie only found out what happened when he finally gathered up the courage to visit Eddie's, atleast by his window, and found those clues Penny had left behind. The moment he did, he informed the rest of the losers— and though he still had slight tension with bill— they managed to cool it off through the respect of wanting to save their close friend.

Sonia? She couldn't be helped.

He couldn't even keep track of his own wellbeing worrying about Eddie. Mrs K was probably even worse. Especially since she saw IT take him in real time. Richie shivered at the thought of that thing laying it's grubby hands on his best friend.

Stop thinking about that.. Hes fine. Eddie's strong as fuck. He won't let some stupid clown get the best of him.

. . .

Richie and Bill were leading the group through the tunnels and through the greywater. Richie was particularly determined, he wasn't one to joke about his friends' safety, especially Eddie's.

The group stumbled to a stop as they turned a corner into a wider room of space. Huh, another sewer checkpoint. They directed their flashlights around, squinting to see if they could catch anything. Bill froze.

"G-guys.." He murmured, pointing his flashlight on the point above a huge mountain of sewer junk. Was that...? "The missing kids.." Bev whispered, as if she could scarcely believe it himself.

They were... Floating. In the air. The bodies moved in gyrations around the trash, it was a disturbing sight quite frankly. Though, Richie couldn't dwell on that too long before his eyes locked onto something else floating in his peripheral view.

Fuck, another body. ...it wasn't just any body though.

"H-holy fuck.."

It was Eddie's.

(do we love rhis scene so far say yes say yes...)
