The plan came together quickly. Nobody was one-hundred percent sure if the plan would work or if it even was a good plan, but they were willing to try anything at this point. Everyone's main focus was getting Will ready for interrogation. Beth had only known Will for a small amount of time but she hoped that Will was still in there somewhere.

The interrogation room was set up in the Byers' garden shed in the backyard. Hopper and Jonathan were the ones that cleared out all the fans, old furniture, boxes that haven't been used in years, and lots of other things, that formed a large pile. Nancy, Brandon, and Steve were assigned to use anything they could find to cover up the inside of the shed to make sure Will didn't know where he was. The kids were assigned to look through the trash and the kitchen cabinets to look for anything to cover up the shed.

Mike and Max were searching in the kitchen, while Lucas, Dustin, and Beth were outside, digging through garbage. Beth couldn't believe that just a couple of days ago they were looking for a lizard, and now she was looking through trash to make sure some monster from a different dimension didn't find them. Dustin was the first one to break the silence. "Hey. I'm...I'm sorry about Dart and all. I guess I just thought that he was...my friend. I was wrong. I broke the rule of law, so if you want Max or Beth to take over my spot in the party, I understand."

Beth sighed, "No I can't do that."

Lucas sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, "I'm not going to do that Dustin."

"Beth...I'm...I'm sorry if I came off as bitchy towards you, I guess I was just upset about Dart and I took out on everyone else-" Dustin explained.

"It's fine Dustin...really." Beth smiled.

"I saw you holding hands with Max on the bus." Dustin explained. Beth remembered that but that didn't mean anything.

"She was scared...so I comforted her." Beth stated, talking about Max.

"Maybe but I could feel it." Dustin stated, making Beth pause her search through the trash.

"Feel what?"

"The electricity." Dustin stated. Beth took a deep breath and sighed when she heard that. She didn't feel electricity between them both. She didn't even know if Max liked girls and if she liked her. Dustin grabbed a bunch of crumbled up newspapers and took them over to the shed.

"Do you feel the "electricity" towards us?" Beth questioned Lucas.

Lucas stopped what he was doing to look at the girl, "I don't know. I mean during that moment she was scared and needing someone. You were next to her so she grabbed your hand. But also they way she looks at you, it seems she's into you."
