Our other main characters are quickly introduced, Teddy, Chris, and Vern. Each having their own roles in the group and character. Vern tells them how he overheard talks about a dead body being found, and how they left it. They all eventually decide to go to find it to become famous. Chris takes a bunch of stuff for supplies including a gun, and they all head out in search of the dead boy. Eventually they realize no one brought food and make a stop at a junk yard.

They relax and throw rocks into a can while talking about random stuff. Eventually our main character loses a bet and goes to get the food. The shop there gives another memory about his brother. Afterward we get a character moment where Teddy shows a lot of care for his father. Understanding that while he burned his ear off he knows that he was a hero at Normandy during WWII.

I'll start with another great moment of character from Chris. While being as young as he is he pushes Gordie to pursue writing telling him how good he is. While Gordie speaks against this idea, Chris insists saying that it's his father talking. Chris also says that if his parents are too broken to watch out for him he will.

Later they reach a bridge there is nowhere to get out of the way if a train crosses while they are crossing. Naturally they cross to make it to the body quicker. However while they are crossing Gordie notices that a train was suddenly coming. They all run and Gordie, and Vern have to jump down a decent distance so the train doesn't hit them. Somehow they are completely uninjured.

The boys decide to take another shortcut, not learning from their last dangerous shortcut choice. They encounter a decently deep pool of water, although they don't realize how deep it is so they suddenly drop in. They mess around in it a bit before realizing the pool is infested with leeches. They begin peeling the leeches off of each other after rushing out of the water.

They think about turning back. As Chris, Vern, and Teddy fight about whether they should. Gordie yells at them and says he isn't turning back.

They eventually reach and find the dead body. At the same time as Ace and his group. Although Teddy, and Vern fold and leave Chris refuses to leave the body behind for them. Ace gets out his knife and approaches Chris fully ready to kill him. However Gordie fires a warning shot with the pistol Chris had brought. He points it at Ace and clearly shows him that he is not the only one fine with killing.

Gordie decides for the group that they should just leave the dead body behind, and make an anonymous call. The boys arrive back in town, and all head there separate ways home.
