He saw his small friend imprisoned beneath the gigantic wire mesh
trash can.

David pushed aside his younger brother and lifted the trash can off
Bryan. He gently retrieved his friend in his hand.
"Well, how did Bryan get shrunk?" David asked.
"Uh, we're not sure," Daniel said. "But you can't tell anyone. Both of
you have to promise to keep quiet."
David frowned, but Jack smirked. "And if we don't?"
