YN POV

————

Lucas laid out a few sticks and drew a line into the dirt next to one:
"This is Randolf Road, right here."

I pointed at the end of one stick: "The fence starts here, and goes all the way around."

Lucas took a can, placing it in the middle of the sticks: "And this is the lab, right here. The gate's gotta be in there somewhere."
"It's gotta be", I repeated.

"Well", Dustin said, "Who owns Hawkins Lab?"

"The sign says Department of energy.", I answered.

"Department of Energy? What do you think that means?", Dustin asked.

"It means Government", Mike answered, "Military."

"Then why does it say Energy?", Dustin asked.

"Just trust me, all right?", Mike said, "It's military. My dad's told me before."

"Mike's right!", Lucas joined, "There's soldiers out in front."

I nodded, looking at the party.
"Do they make, like, lightbulbs or something?", Dustin asked.

"No, weapons...", I thought out loud, "to fight the Russians, and commies and stuff."

"Weapons!", Lucas mumbled, looking at El.
Dustin gasped: "Oh Jesus, this is bad."
"Really bad", Lucas said.
"That place is like a fortress", I continued.

"Well what do we do?", Duatin asked.
Mike looked at us: "I don't know , but we cannot go home. We're fugitives now."

Dustin looked up, stuttering: "Uh.. Guys? Do you hear that ?"

I looked up to see a helicopter flying our way: "Oh we are so fucked."

I got up, pulling Dustin and Lucas up with me: "C'mon, we've got to hide!"

We shoved our bikes under the old bus at the junkyard as quickly as we could, having difficulties.

I pulled the bus door open, quickly, pulling El in and then trying to help my friends with their bikes.

"Go, go, go, go, go!", Mike exclaimed.
"Come on!", Dustin complained, "Come on!"

We shoved the bikes under the bus, quickly climbing into the bus.
Mike and I pulled the door closed.
"Get down!", Lucas yelled, pulling me onto the floor.

I tripped, falling onto the floor, panting as Lucas exhaled shakily next to me:
"Holy fuck."

The helicopter whiring got louder and louder. I heard my friends breathing loudly and looked over to Mike, who was already looking at me.

I sighed, looking at the windows.
"Mental!", Dustin exclaimed.

I sat in the bus, looking at my friends every once in a while, while I breathed heavily, worrying about what would happen if they found us.

——

As we sat in the bus for what felt like forever, we suddenly heard something coming from Mike's device:

"Mike, are you there? Mike, Y/N? Are you there?"
I looked at Mike in shock.

"You guys heard that?", Dustin asked.
"Is that Nancy?", I asked.
"Guys, it's Nancy."
I nodded.
