The Bathtub Part One

Y/n POV

Mike was in the bathroom cleaning El up. Me and Dustin were waiting, when all of a sudden something comes from the walkie talkie.

Dustin rushes over to the bathroom to grab Mike and El. "Guys! It's Lucas, I think he's in trouble!"

They all run over to where I am by the walkie talkie. "You remember how he said he was looking for the gate? Well what if he found it?" I ask them.

Dustin picks up the walkie talkie that has yelling coming out of it.

Mike snatches it out of Dustin's hands. He listens to it for a minute, then looks at Dustin. "What's he saying?"

Dustin shrugs. "I don't know he's probably out of range."

"I can't feel his mind either, so he's gotta be kinda far." I add.

"Lucas, can you hear us? Slow down, we can't understand you." Mike says into the speaker.

"Yes! I copy! Did you- did you find Eleven?! You have to find Eleven, the bad men are coming. All of them! Do you hear me? The bad men are coming!" Lucas shouts.

"Mad hen. Does that mean anything to you, is that a code name or something?" Dustin says.

A look of realization washes over Mike's face. "Bad men. Bad men! Stay here!" He sets the walkie talkie down, and runs for the stairs, me and Dustin trailing behind him.

We run over to the window that's facing out front, and peer outside.

A white Hawkins Power van is sitting there.

"What's that guy doing?" Mike says.

"You don't think....." Dustin trails off.

Mike runs over to Karen, and I follow him while Dustin stays at the window.

"Mom!"

"Mrs. Wheeler!"

"Mom."

Karen holds up a finger, signaling us to wait a minute.

"Mom!" Mike shouts.

"Hold on." Karen says, then spins around to face us. "Micheal! I'm on the phone. I've told you a million times-"

Mike interrupts her. "Did you send for any repairs?"

"What?"

"Is anyone supposed to come, and do repairs on the house?" I say, masking the panic that is bubbling inside me.

"I don't understand, is something wrong...." Karen says, using hand gestures to enunciate her words.

"No, mom...."

Dustin comes crashing through the doorway. "Mike, Y/n..."

Mike holds up a finger. "One second." I can feel that panic and fear rolling off of Dustin.

"Mike!" He yells.

Mike turns to him.

"We need to leave. Right. Now." He says before turning tail and running.

Me and Mike run after him.

"Micheal!" Karen shouts after us.

Mike stops. "If anyone asks where I am, I've left the country!" Then he turns to keep moving.

Us four rush out the basement door, snatching up our bikes.

We stop to get on the bikes, and turn to our right to see.........Papa? And a bunch of other "workers" moving towards us.

"Go go go go go go go!" Dustin says, his voice raising with every word.

We start pedaling as the Lab people turn back to their vans.

"Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God." Dustin mutters.

"Dustin! Do you copy?" Lucas's voice comes from the speaker.

"Yeah, Lucas, they're on us!"

"Where are you?!"

"Cornwallis!"

"Meet me at Elm and Cherry!"

"Copy, Elm and Cherry!"

We keep pedaling, seeing a group of vans moving right towards us.

"Here!" Somebody shouts.

We go off road, down a hill.

"Out of the way, out of the way!" Dustin yells to some girls playing.

We go back to the road, and skid to a stop, Lucas right next to us.

"Lucas!" Me and Mike say at the same time.

"Where are they?" Lucas pants.

"I don't know." Dustin says.

"We might've lost them." I tell everyone.

Why did my big mouth have to say anything?!

I think as the vans turn the corner behind us.

"Go go go go go go!" Everyone starts yelling.

"Faster, faster!" Mike encourages everyone.

"S*it, s*it, s*it, s*it, s*it, s*it." Dustin chants.

A set of vans round the corner in front of us.

Ready?  I say in El's head.

One....
Two....
Three.

I furrow my brows and concentrate on one of the vans. I cause the driver to swivel into a tree nearby.

El does the same to the other van, but instead of it being turned into a tree, she throws it over our heads, causing it to crash in front of the vans behind us.

We all look at each other in shock and awe and then keep moving as I wipe the blood dripping out of my nose.

Third Person POV

Behind the kids, Brenner clambers out of one of the vans, watching them disappear over the top of a hill.
