015, jesus, Dustin!

  Right after school Reese went to Dustin. "Does anyone copy? This is a code red. I repeat a code red!" Dustin yelled into his headset. Dustin turned around to see Reese walking towards him. "You okay, Dustin?" Reese asked him as the boy started to continue digging a grave. She looked into the grave seeing a cat laying there. "Is that Mews?" Reese asked him, a very confused look on her face.

  "Yes! It's a very long story, come on!" He yelled at her. Reese looked back at Mews' grave one last time and walked after Dustin. "You know that when you mom is gone I'm in charge of you. So if you die I will murder you." She said sprinting towards Dustin. "I'd already be dead." He corrected her. "I'd dubbel kill you." Dustin stopped at the basement.

  "Why do i have the idea we're not going to find anything good in here." Reese asked the boy who shook his head. "Because we aren't going to." He said and after that, he told her the whole story.

..

  "So let me get this straight. You found a slimey thing on the street and decided, 'oh, let's take it home!' and after a little while he grew bigger and ate Mews. And you think it's a demogorgon?" Reese asked him. Dustin nodded aggressively. Reese nodded. "makes sense."

  Dustin walked over to his and Reese's bike, since she decided to bike to the Henderson's, it wasn't far from her own house. Dustin got on his bike. "You coming?" He asked the Cooper girl. Reese sighed and ran to her bike. "What exactly are we going to do?" She asked Dustin, biking as fast as she could to keep up with him. "Looking for Mike, Lucas and Will. they're probably at Mike's." He said and the two drove to the Wheeler's house.

..

  When they arrived at the Wheeler's house Dustin threw his bike on the ground and ran to the house. Reese, who was trying to keep up, ran after him, trying to catch her breath. "Jesus, Dustin, are you trying to kill me?" She asked and Dustin rang the doorbell. When no one opened he rang again. and again, and again, and again. Reese grabbed Dustin's hand, still out of breath. "Stop, maybe they're just not home." She suggested, still trying to catch her breath.

  After a while mr. Wheeler opened the door. "Your line has been busy for over two hours, mr. Wheeler. Do you realize that?" Dustin asked the man. "Oh, I do realize." He said and took a quick look at Reese who was standing there, her hands on her knees, still catching her breath. "Is Mike home?" Dustin asked the man quickly. "No." Mr. Wheeler stated shaking his head. "No? Well, where the hell is he?"

  "Karen, where's our son?" He yelled to mrs. Wheeler. "Will's!" Karen yelled back at him. Mr. Wheeler turned his head back to Dustin. "No one's picking up there." Dustin sighed. "Nancy. What about Nancy?" He asked the man. Mr. Wheeler sighed and turned his head again. "Karen, where's Nancy?" Mr. Wheeler yelled. "Ally's!" back at her husband, clearly being annoyed. "Ally's." He told them calmly. "Our children don't live here anymore. You didn't know that?" He joked, his voice still calm.

  "Seriously?" Dustin asked the man. "Am I done here?" He asked back at him, clearly getting annoyed. "Son of a bitch. You're really no help at all, you know that?" Dustin shot back at the man. Reese grabbed the boys arm. "I'm sorry we bothered you mr. Wheeler. And I'm sorry for Dustin's behavior." She fake-apologized knowing that mr. Wheeler was clearly not interested in where his kids were. She then walked away.

  Dustin and Reese picked up their bikes when a car passed, getting Dustin's attention. Reese walked away, her hand holding the bike, when she heard Dustin drop his bike again. "You coming, Spengler?" She asked the boy, turning to him. Dustin looked at the car, Steve getting out of it. He had a few flowers in his hand and he was muttering something. "Jesus, Dustin just come." She said but he held up his hand shushing her. Dustin walked over to the older guy. "Steve." He said and Reese sighed, still standing there with her bike in her hands. "Are those for mr— or mrs. Wheeler?" He asked. Steve looked at the flowers. "No."

  "Good." Dustin said and grabbed the flowers out of his hands. "Hey. What the hell? Hey!" Steve yelled at the younger boy, running after him. "Nancy isn't home." Dustin quickly stated. "Where is she?" Steve asked him. "Doesn't matter." Dustin quickly said. "We have bigger problems than your love life. Do you still have that bat?"

  "Bat? What bat?" Steve asked him. "The one with the nails." Dustin said as if it was obvious. "Jesus christ." Reese muttered, also dropping her bike now, still standing where she stood before. "Why?" Steve asked. "I'll explain it on the way." He said, getting into the car. "Now?" Steve asked. "Now! Reese, come on, we don't have all the time in the world!" He yelled at reese, Steve now realizing she was there too.

  "You know I still have my mop! You could've asked me to bring that!" She yelled back at Dustin, before turning to Steve. "Hey." She said and got into the back of the car, Steve also getting in. On the way Dustin explained everything.
