We drive down to lover's lake, to find Reifer Rick's lake house.
We drive into a darkened dirt driveway, parking in reverse.
We all quietly hop out of the cruiser, grabbing our bag of equipment.
We walk up the front steps, our shoes click-clacking quite loudly.
"Reifer Rick!" Dustin shouts loudly against the front door.
"Stop screaming!" Steve whispers
Robin knocks on the front door, "Eddie?" "Eddie?" She repeats.
"Is anyone home?" I say through the thin window.
"Hmm." Henry says, as he's looking at fresh broken beer bottles on the dirt road.
"What is it?" I ask.
"Broken bottles, nothing all that great," he sighs heavily.
"Is it fresh?" I ask.
"Somewhat." Henry replies.
"Guys..." Max says from afar.
We follow behind her as she leads us into a tin sheltered boat shack.
"Looks like someone's been here." Max says, pointing at fresh beer bottles.
"Maybe they heard us and ran, maybe we spooked them." Robin says.
Steve grabs an oar, walking over to the tarp-covered boat, poking it repeatedly, and harshly.
"Just take the tarp off, Steve!" Dustin scowls.
"If you're so brave, then you take it off!" Steve argues.
"Whomever they are, they aren't very clean.."
"Eck.." Max says, holding a damp paper bag, seeming as it's from a fast-food restaurant.
"Well, whoever they are, I'm sure Steve will get them with his oar." Dustin says sarcastically.
"Quit it, you two!" I whisper-shout.
A brief moment of silence.
"AH!" Steve yells, being pinned against the wall, someone flying out from under the tarp.
They put a broken glass beer bottle against Steve's throat, pinning him against the metal, tin wall.
"EDDIE!" Dustin yells.
"Hey there buddy, woah, woah calm down." I say calmly."
"This is Steve, Steve wont harm you, right Steve?" Dustin asks.
"Right," Steve agrees.
"Put down the oar, Steve." Dustin says.
"Okay, okay, I'm putting down the oar." Steve says, raising up his hands slightly as a surrender.
"Eddie..."
"We're here to help you, we're on your side."
This is Robin, she's in band, remember? Dustin asked Eddie.
"Yeah, doo,doot,doo!" Robin imitated her trumpet, and this is y/n your friend, and Henry, her boyfriend, he plays DND with us, and there's Max, your neighbor, yeah?" Dustin explained to Eddie.
"No cops, I swear on my mother!" Dustin exclaimed.
"Yeah on Dustin's mother," Robin and the rest of you agree.

Eddie slowly lowered his hand, releasing his hold on Steve's neck.
Steve gasps, "Oh my god." He sighs.
"H-How did you guys find me??" Eddie asks.
"Henry found Rick's adress through the Family Video computer, but anyways, that doesn't matter." I explained.
"All that matters is you're the number one suspect right now."
"And that we believe you, we're on you're side." Max and Dustin explain.

"You wouldn't believe me.." Eddie whimpered.
"Try us." Max said.
...
"Chrissy.. her bones, they, they twisted in all the wrong places, pointing the opposite direction of how they're positioned... and her jaw, he jaw snapped, swinging open to the right.. and, her eyes, her eyes.. they were like, sucked into the back of her skull, from the inside.." Eddie explained, with terror planted all-over his facial features.
"Holy shit." Max exclaimed.
"Oh shit.. that's so sick." I stared in shock.
Henry squeezed my hand in comfort, not saying a word.
"Yeah.."
....
Sirens come blaring through the dirt roads, passing by and stopping in the middle of the street, next to lover's lake.
"Shit, shit tarp!" Robin exclaimed.
"Tarp!" Dustin and max say in unison.
We all panicked, sneaking out of the boat-house.
...
"What was that?" I asked.
"Perhaps, something happened nearby." Henry assumes.
"Maybe." I say.
"I'll drive you guys home." He ssid to all of us.
We all get to our houses safely, and majorly tired.
