The boys decided to take the mysterious girl back to Mike's and get her out of the hard rainfall. And when we say Mike's, we mean Mike's basement. She wrapped her hands around his torso as Ethan and Dustin helped her onto the back of his bike. Ethan shed his blue raincoat, putting it on her, even though she was already soaked, all she had on was an oversized 'Benny's Burgers' t-shirt and possibly underwear.
Upon arrival back to Mike's, they sneak back in through the basement door. The four boys sat her down on the couch, silently wondering what to say to her, or ask her.
"Is there a number we can call, for your parents?" Mike asks.
"Where's your hair? Do you have cancer?" Dustin blurts out, signing on instinct so Ethan could see what he said.
Ethan in response to Dustin's comment slapped him on the shoulder, "Dude, the hell?" he scolded.
"Did you run away?" Lucas asked, actually concerned for the safety of this unknown girl.
"Are you in some kind of trouble?" Mike asked again.
"Is that blood?" Lucas asked, reaching a hand to her before Mike slapped it back down.
"Stop it! You're freaking her out!" Mike exclaimed
"She's freaking me out!" Lucas retorted.
"I bet she's deaf" Dustin inquired, Ethan raised an eyebrow.
"If she was deaf, she'd understand sign," Ethan deadpans.
Dustin then leaned over a bit and clapped really loud, to which the girl flinched.
Dustin looked back at the other two boys, "Not deaf" he confirmed
The dark brown haired boy looked at him with a puzzled expression, "Please stop, your freaking me out"
"She looks like if Ethan was in a nuthouse-"
"All right that's enough, all right? She's just scared and cold." Mike exhales.
The thunder outside bangs once again as Mike walks away to grab a blue shirt and gray sweatpants from the clean laundry basket for her to wear.
"Here, these are clean. Okay?" He said, handing the items forward in her direction.
They smelt like laundry detergent and had a few stains, but they weren't a radioactive hazard. She took them slowly out of his hands, before setting them to the side to take off Ethan's raincoat.
She stood up and started lifting up the shirt- "NO! NO! NO!" The boys shouted, cringing because this random girl in the woods was about to take off her shirt in front of them.
"Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God" Dustin shouted, disgusted and shocked, pacing as he does when he's nervous.
Ethan had covered his eyes, probably scarred for life. Mike just offered to let her change in privacy, pointing to the bathroom. She looked really confused, and picked up the dark blue shirt and gray sweatpants before entering the bathroom.
