When Beverly woke up, she saw Jojo smiling at her with brimming energy. She suddenly remembered that Pennywise had kidnapped her and forced her to see her past life in his mouth.
She looked around in fear, searching for Pennywise.
"Don't panic, he is gone for good," Jojo said, pointing to where the corpses of the kids were slowly disappearing.
She looked around and confirmed it, feeling relieved.
"Will he come back again?" she asked with concern, as she had just witnessed how he made her watch her life like a repeated movie.
"I don't think so. Now he must be performing his act in hell," Jojo said casually and started to walk toward the exit.
"Wait, we need to find Bill's brother and save him," she stopped Jojo and said with a hopeful face.
When Jojo saw this, he sighed...
"He is dead," Jojo answered her with a serious expression.
There was a pin-drop silence at that moment.
"How are you going to explain it to Bill?" she asked with a sad look. She knew how hard he had worked to find information about Pennywise to find his brother and save him.
"Only you can heal him," Jojo pushed the matter onto Beverly without any shame.
Jojo took her along with him to the exit and they got on his rented motorcycle. Beverly sat behind him as he took off on his motorcycle.
He made a call and informed the others that the case was solved. Everyone arrived at the hotel along with the kids they were assigned to protect.
Jojo got off the motorcycle and arrived at the hotel with Beverly. Both of their clothes were spoiled by the drainage water that flowed into the old well.
"Jojo, are you alright?" Alice came forward and asked him with concern.
"Let me check if you have any injuries," Rosalie came to him and checked his body for any injuries, her cheeks turning slightly red.
Bill, who was among them, came forward and started to search for his brother. Beverly and Jojo didn't know how to explain things to him.
"Mr. Jojo, did you find my brother? Where is he? Did you let him go home first?" Bill asked Jojo a series of questions without pausing in his excitement of meeting his brother again.
"That's..."
Jojo didn't know how to explain to Bill that his brother was dead.
Beverly looked at Jojo before sighing...
"Bill, I'm sorry, but your brother is dead," Beverly said while looking at Bill, who didn't seem to hear her sentence and started to mumble about how he was going to see his brother.
Others became quiet and looked at Bill with sympathy.
Seeing Bill in this state, Beverly and the others didn't know what to say.
"He is dead, Bill!" Beverly put her arms on Bill's shoulders and shouted at him, shaking him.
Bill started to cry on the spot, while his friends tried to console him.
Suddenly, Jojo felt someone touch his hand. He thought it was Alice or Rosalie, so he grabbed the hand firmly, enjoying the softness of it.
"Ah... Jojo, what are you doing?" Alice asked Jojo with a weird look on her face, pointing her finger at him.
"Huh..."
Jojo got confused and looked around, seeing the other Cullens also looking at him weirdly, with Rosalie standing next to Alice.
"What happened?" Jojo asked, still sounding confused.
'Wait... Wait, if Alice and Rosalie were standing there, then who was gripping my hand?' Suddenly, Jojo realized with wide eyes and looked at his arm, where the hand was grabbing.
It was the hand of a small boy wearing a yellow jacket, holding his hand with a surprised look on his face – it was Georgie.
"What..."
'Did I just simp with the hand of a child?' Jojo massaged his temples, thinking about how he reacted when he held the hand, thinking it would be Alice's or Rosalie's hand.
"Can you see me?" Georgie asked with a surprised look.
"Yeah, I can. Do you have any wishes?" Jojo asked, sitting down to match Georgie's height, speaking in a low tone.
The Cullens noticed that Jojo was speaking, looking in the direction where no one was present.
"Why are you speaking to yourself?" Emmett, who saw this, asked Jojo, placing his hands on Jojo's shoulders.
"Well, Bill's brother's spirit was here, and accidentally, I caught his hand just now," Jojo said, attracting the attention of Bill and his friends.
"Can you tell him my thanks for searching for me, even though my parents lost hope? And my wish is for him to move on from my death," Georgie said, looking at Bill, who had teary eyes.
"Can you see my brother? What is he saying?" Bill asked Jojo with anticipation.
"He said thanks for searching for him, even though your parents lost hope for him. His final wish is for you to move on from his death," Jojo explained Georgie's wish to Bill, who started to cry once again.
His friends started to console him.
After two days...
After solving the case, Jojo and the Cullens stayed in Derry for two days, enjoying sightseeing and picnicking in the forests of Derry before returning to Forks.
Rosalie dropped Jojo off at his house and went to the Cullens' house after giving him a quick peck on the cheeks along with Alice, and the car took off.
Jojo entered the house with a smug look as if he had accomplished something extraordinary.
"Welcome home, sir."
"Jojo, you've arrived. How was the trip?" Alex came running towards Jojo when he saw him.
"Well, our first case was successfully solved," Jojo said, looking at Kang and Jenny approaching him.
After some interaction with them, Jojo looked at the clock and noticed that there was still time before school started.
"Sara, is there any update I need to know?" Jojo asked while heading towards his room to get ready for school.
"No, sir."
Bella's house...
Bella hurriedly approached the truck, but her leg slipped and she fell on the road.
WHOOP...
Charlie quickly left the truck and helped Bella up.
"Are you alright?" Charlie asked with a chuckle.
"Yeah, I'm good," Bella said with a slight pain in her tone, still maintaining her emo look.
"Ice didn't help with my coordination," she said with an awkward smile.
"That's why I had to put new tires on the truck," Charlie said, pointing to the truck's tires.
Bella got into her car and started driving towards Forks High.
