Eddie had to process that information. It was hard to picture Bill having friends outside the loser's club; they were so close. If there was someone else their age that didn't give him a hard time over his stutter or bully him in other ways, that was cool though. Talking to an author was a very Bill thing to do. He finally decided Dan was telling the truth and anyone closely connected to Bill had to be okay.
Eddie was shaking slightly. here were too many fresh memories of the clown. The name. The dead kids. That voice. The diseases and germs. It came back after a night, instead of twenty-seven years. He couldn't fight It alone,or even with Bill and Richie; all the losers had to stick together. He started to calm when Dan mentioned Derry. Ben's maps were all of Derry. Bill had traced the clown's movements. All in Derry. "Okay."
"Yes." Eddie answered right away, without thinking of how Dan would do it. He looked at the phone suspiciously. "Where's the cord? What end do you hold up to your ear?"
