Part 3, Chapter 10, Section 1 Summary: “Bill Denbrough Gets a Cab”

Bill wakes up in the Derry Town House when Mike calls. Mike says they are all meeting that day, but that Stanley is dead. He wants to give them all the details at the same time. They agree to meet at a restaurant at one. On his cab ride to the restaurant, Bill notices how much the town has changed. Everything looks new, but he feels like “the old Derry was mostly buried under all the new construction…but your eye was somehow dragged helplessly back to look at it…to look for it” (488). He remembers that a bird had chased Mike, and that something bad had happened to a kid named Patrick that had involved a refrigerator, but he doesn’t remember details.

At the restaurant, Mike is already there. Mike looks older than Bill expected, and exhausted. They go back to a private room where everyone else is waiting.
