Default Emergency Break Broke

Hey guys! So as I as driving today I was coasting down a long hill (neutral=saved gas) and my brother thought it would be funny to pull up on the e-brake a bit, and well, he pulled it all the way up and it did absolutely nothing. Therefore, I believe somethings wrong with it, what can I do? I'm guessing the cable is shot, but being the girl I am, I don't really know where to look for it or anything.. so ANY step by step instructions would be fantastic! Thanks =)
