You all rush out the house immediately
***moments later ***
You than arrive to this building as Dustin barges in.
(This is the scene where they start calling hella ppl tryna to find Eddie )
Dustin: hey Steve
Steve: you see this
Dustin: how many phones do you have
Steve: someone was murdered
Dustin: how many phones do you have
Steve: two why
Robin: Technically three if you count Keith's in the back
Max: three works
Steve: what are you doing, and who's this chick
Dustin takes of his bag
Steve: what are you doing
Dustin than throws his bag over the counter knocking some tapes down
Steve: WOAH WHAT ARE YOU—
Robin: My pile !
Dustin than jumps over the counter himself while knocking tapes down himself in the process
Steve: no, no, no! My tapes ! Dude.
Dustin than goes to a computer as Steve yells at him in confusion
Steve: What are you doing man ?!
Dustin: setting the base of operations here.
Steve: Base of operations ?
Dustin than types something on the computer
Steve: get off of that
Dustin: No I need it
Steve: For what ?
Dustin: For Eddies friends phone numbers
The hearing of Eddie's name catches your attention and you watch and pay attention to what's happening on the other side of the counter
Steve: your new best friend you think is cooler because he plays your nerdy game ?
You laugh
Steve looks at you
Steve: and who are you
YN: oh Im a friend of Dustin's
Dustin looks at Steve annoyed
Dustin: Eddie, yes. I never said that
Robin: seriously guys, maybe on a Monday you can play around like toddlers but it's a Saturday. It's our busiest day
Dustin: Robin, I empathize, but this cannot wait
Steve: oh my god
Robin: Cause what calling all Eddie's friends is an emergency
Dustin: CORRECT!
Steve walks behind Robin
Steve: you want me to strangle him or you what to?
Robin: We could take turns
Dustin: Could you fill them in while i do this
Robin: fill us in on what
Max than goes over it explaining it to Robin and Steve as you listen
After Dustin finds a list of Eddie's friends Robin Max and Dustin pick up a phone and question Eddies friends for any clue to where he might be
You stand by the counter just thinking, how did this all happen, you than look over seeing this Steve guy walk to this girl handing her a tape
Steve: alright, doctor Zhivago, it's a double VHS. It's long but that's because it's filled with action band romance and a little bit of suspense
Woman: So, my boyfriend won't like, totally puke when I bring it home
Steve: oh, you.. your boyfriend? Uhh, no. No. He's gonna... he's gonna love it. Yeah.
The woman buys her Tape walking out the store with her bag
Woman: see ya
Steve: yeah see ya later. Alligator.
You laugh
Steve: what's so funny
YN: nothing
Before Steve could respond max says something
Max: hey guys, I might have a lead
Robin and sadistic look back at her
Dustin: seriously?
Max: yeah. Apparently Eddie gets drugs from some guy named Reefer Rick, and sometimes Eddie crashes there
YNs HEAD: drugs ???
Robin: sounds promising, where does this Reefer Ricks guy live
Max : see that's the thing, no one knows. He's more of a... a legend than someone people actually know
Dustin: what about a last name
Max: I don't know that either
Steve: bet the cops know the last name
Max: what
Steve: cops. I mean listen if this Reefer Ricks is actually a drug dealer. I Guarantee you he's been busted at some point. Mean he's in the cops system
Dustin: the cops ? Really Steve that's your suggestion
Steve: I mean I just think they should be filled in on what we know, what's going on
Dustin: you think Eddie's guilty don't you
Steve: woahh, I believe innocent until proven guilty, all that constitutional shit, I just, you know, don't think we can rule it out
Max: that's precisely what we're trying to do here, Steve
Dustin: and maybe we'd have a little bit more luck if you spent less time trying to find a girlfriend and more time trying to find Eddie
Steve: oh well somebody has to attend the customers
Robin: especially if their babes, right?
She winks at him
Steve: hey, not fair, okay ? I attend all customers equally babes and non-babes alike. We've got a very big selection in here. It can be super overwhelming for people
Robin: yeah it can be
Robin than goes to the computer typing something on it
Max: what are you doing
Robin: maybe we don't need a last name
Robin: twelve ricks have accounts here
Max: that's a lot of ricks
Robin: so let's narrow it down, las test rentals are annie and dumbo Rick alderman's latest, chances our drug dealer has a family
Max: not likely
Robin: all right. Rick conroy. Sixteen candles, teen wolf and the stone
Max, Steve and Dustin: No
Robin: okay, Rick joiner, mask, footloose and grease
Max Steve and Dustin: nah
Robin: Rick Kimbeough, the blue lagoon and splash
They laugh
Steve and max : definitely not
Robin: okay. Rick Lipton, fast time at rodeno y high, cheech and chinga next movie, cheech and Chong's nice dreams, cheech and chunga up In smoke
Steve: bingo
Max: Lipton ?
Robin: spelled like the tea. 2121 Holland road
Dustin: that's our by livers lake
Max: middle of nowhere
Robin: it's a perfect place to hide
We than all run out into Steve's car
**we arrive **

Max: Hey guys ?!
We all walk over to max looking at a shed
We walk over to the shed and go inside hoping to find Eddie
We all search
Robin: hello, is anyone home ?
Steve than grabs a stick and hits this boat with tarp in it
Dustin: what are you doing
Steve he might be in here
Dustin: take the tarp off
Steve: if your so brave, you take the tarp off
Max: hey look over here, someone was here
Robin: maybe he heard us, got spooked and ran away
Dustin: don't worry Steve will get him with his oar
Steve: i know you think your funny Henderson, considering the fact that everyone in this room had nearly died a hundred times, personally I don't think I find it funny I'm the slightest —
Something than jumps out the boat with tarp and everyone screams
Steve: wait wait wait wait wait woah woah woah
Steve yells as a man pushes him to the wall holding something to his neck
Dustin: EDDIE EDDIE STOP EDDIE EDDIE ITS me Dustin, it's Dustin this is Steve he's not gonna hurt you right Steve

Eddie sniffs
Eddie: you won't believe me

Eddie sighs
Dustin: look what I'm about to tell you might be a little.. difficult to take
Eddie: okay
Dustin: you know how people saw Hawkins is cursed, Therye not.. way off, theirs another world, a world hidden beneath Hawkins's, sometimes it bleeds into ours.
Eddie: like ghosts and shit
Max: their are some things worse than ghosts
Dustin: these are monsters from this other world, we thought they were home, but they've come back before, that's why we needed to find you
Max: if Therye back again, we need to know.
Robin: that night, did you see anything ?
Max: dark particles, maybe ?
Eddie shakes his head
Dustin: it would almost look like dust, swirling dust
Eddie: no man, there was nothing you could see or, uh or touch, you know, I tried to wake her, man, she couldn't move, it was like she..she was in a trance or something
Dustin: or under a spell, a curse, under vecnas curse.
Steve: who's Vecna
Dustin: an undead creature of great power.
Eddie: a spell caster
Dustin: a dark wizard
Eddie than looked up at Dustin than he saw you his eyes widened
Eddie: YN? What are you doing here
YN : to help
