Two pairs of muddy bare feet walk through the wet grass and dirt in the afternoon daylight.
A face with shiny brown eyes stare down at a small restaurant across from them.
The dirty face looks at the person who looks similar and nods before dragging them down to the building.

Who are they?
011 and 012, the two experiment escapees from Hawkins Laboratory.

Twelve eagerly pushed the door open, Eleven walked timidly behind her.
The fresh aroma of fries and burgers bloomed in the air.
Twelve discovered the source of the scent and began munching on a burger and fries, she looked to her sister who had a nervous look on her face before catching her eye and pointing to a tray of chicken nuggets and fries.
Eleven quickly stuffed her face with chicken nuggets and fries before a loud voice bellowed,
"HEY!"
The owner yelled at the thieves.
They looked up, guilty, swallowed, grabbed the food and ran, he chased after them.
He grabbed eleven in his arms and shook her lightly,
She was terrified.
"you think you can steal from me boys?!"
He scanned their faces, their shaved heads.
He suddenly realised that these weren't boys
"What in the hell?" he quietly mumbled to himself.

The two girls sat in his empty restaurant as he cooked up some more burgers for them.
Once he passed them to the girls, they immediately began eating.
They were starving.
They hadn't had good food in a long time.
Heck, they never had had any good food.

"Geez."
"Your parents forget to feed you?"

They didn't answer, they just concentrated on eating.
They didn't even spare him a glance as he asked his questions.

"Is that why you ran away?" He continued.
"They, uh..... they hurt you?"
"You went to the hospital, you got scared, you ran off, you wound up here, is that it?"
They stopped eating and stared at him.
not replying.

"All right..."
He grabbed their food out of their hands and pulled them closer to him.

They continued chewing,
"I'll give this back, all right?"
"And you can have as much as you want, all right?"
"Maybe even some ice cream." He offered.
They just stared at him, as small crumbs slowly dropped from their lips.

"But you gotta answer a few of my questions first, all right?"
"We got a deal?"

No answer.

"All right, let's start with the easy stuff."
He held out his hand in front of twelve,
"My names Benny, Benny Hammond."
She just stared at it.
Then back at him.
"See?" "Like this, here."
He tried grab her hand, but she attempted to pull it away.
"I got you, don't worry, it's okay."
He held it warmly.
"Nice to meet you." he shook it up and down slowly.
"Yeah, and you are?"

No answer.

He sighed and put her hand down.
He saw the mark.
The numbers on her wrist.
She noticed him looking at it so she pulled her arm back and frowned.
