"I g-" Rocky stared as he opened the door. Eddie screamed, Rocky screamed. "Dude!"
"You scared the piss out of me!" Eddie yelled, dripping the broken bottle. "Make yourself aware. You need a bell."
"I'll be sure to knock next time." he said back with a crazy look, holding up some bags. "Hungry?"
Max pushed Rockys back so he'd walk into the shed, giving Eddie the bags as the others followed. Dustin cleared his throat. "So we got, uh, some good news and some bad news. How do you prefer it?"
"Bad news first, always." Eddie said in return with his mouth full.
"Man of culture." Rocky nodded his head from next to Max, her shoulder pressed into his.
"All right. Bad news. We tapped into the Hawkins PD dispatch with our Cerebro, and they're definitely looking for you." Dustin broke the news to him as Eddie stopped eating. "Also, they're pretty convinced you killed Chrissy."
"Like, 100% kind of convinced." Max agreed, a blue jacket on today. Rocky wondered if she realized it was the one he gave her back at the hospital last year.
"Hence why they're looking for you." the Byers boy confirmed.
"And the good news?" Eddie looked to Dustin as he held his honey combs.
"Your name hasn't gone public yet." Robin nodded her head. "But if we found out about you, it's a matter of time before others do too. And once that gets out, everyone and their shallow-minded mother is gonna be gunning for you."
"Good news, Robin. We were attempting good news." Rocky looked back at her knowingly.
"Hunt the freak, right?" Eddie asked bitterly.
"Exactly." she confirmed.
"Shit." Eddie panicked.
"Don't worry, man." Rocky shook his head, holding his arms up. "Laugh and Love are here to protect you. Always."
"Rocky, enough of the Laugh and Love." Max grabbed both arms to pull them down, he held back a grin when he felt her hands tightened before letting go.
"So, before that happens, we need to find Vecna, kill him, and prove your innocence." Dustin nodded his head quickly as he laid out the plan.
"That's all, Dustin? That's all?" Eddie gave a sarcastic smile.
"Yeah, no, that's pretty much it." Dustin nodded his head.
"Piece of angel cake." Rocky winked his way.
"Rocky." Max smacked his arm.
"Listen, Eddie, I know everything Dustin is saying sounds totally delusional, but we've actually been through this before." Robin looked down at him with a nod of her head. "I mean, they have a few times, and...and I have once. Mine was more human-flesh based, theirs was more smoke-related, but bottom line is, collectively, I really feel we for this."
