The Forest (Near The Lab)
Lucas sighed to himself, looking down at his compass as it's needle suddenly shot to the left, pointing off of the path that he was on, "What the hell?" He thought out loud as he dragged his bike off of the path, rolling it through the piles of leaves in his way.
Trudging his bike up a tiny but steep hill, his eyes widened. There was a tall fence, lined with barbed wire and no trespassing signs. Tall and thick trees surrounded whatever was on the inside of the boarder, blocking it from Lucas's sight.
Looking down at his compass, Lucas's eyes filled with worry as the needle flicked back and forth until settling down, pointing at the fence. Looking back up, Lucas glanced to his right and left, seeing the long stretch of fencing going as fast as his eyes could reach. He couldn't even see the end of it, "Aw, man..." He mumbled in a tired tone as he started his long trek, determined to find (Y/N) and Will.

Hopper looked down for a moment before looking her dead in the eyes with the most determined eyes she had ever seen, "We're gonna find them. Both of them."
"Yeah, like Terry found her daughter?" She replied in a doubtful tone. Hopper clenched his jaw and looked down, "We're close." Joyce sucked in a shuddering breath and looked over at him, shaking her head, "Twelve years? Twelve years she's been

Hopper said, quickly cutting her off as he gave her a serious look, "You know what I would give? For a chance?" He asked her as his mind tortured him with memories of his late daughter, Sarah. Joyce gave him a sympathetic look as Hopper's radio went off, breaking the tense silence, "Hey, Chief, you there?" It was Callahan.
