[REWRITING] When He Sees Me, Steve Harrington

015 Unfortunate Development

CHAPTER 015. UNFORTUNATE DEVELOPMENT

THEY'RE BOUND TO GET CAUGHT.

Laurie doesn't mean to be so pessimistic, but they've almost been caught numerous times during their journey down the not-so-endless passage way, narrowly dodging the passing guards as they followed Steve's lead and hid behind one of the carts the Russians have been using to transmit their cargo.

At the end of the long hallway was the main headquarters of the Russian base, Dustin coining it as "The Hub" and Steve seemed to grimace at the name for a reason Laurie is unsure of.

For a moment the girl was stuck in place, almost like a deer in headlights as she finally came to realise just how many Russians were in Hawkins after all, scientists hauling the acidic green liquid and soldiers with large guns following them with every step.

Steve had to grab at her hand and yank her down with the rest of the group, and Laurie was far too entranced by the alarming amount of guns she'd just seen to listen to their scolding whispers about how someone could've seen her.

Her heart is racketing against her ribcage, so much so that she's certain Steve can hear it because of the way he turns his head to look at her, lips turning down slightly and gaze softening.

God, she hopes they make it out alive. She needs them too, because how are the cops going to stop this? And what would her parents think? Or her brother? Laurie is almost certain that if she were to die down here, her family would be left in shambles trying to figure out where she "disappeared" to and why she never come home.

Her mom would probably be left an empty shell of the woman she once was, far too broken to have the energy to cry after some time. Her father would probably never stop weeping because his little girl is gone. And her brother, James, would probably find himself going insane because he's barely getting by whilst trying to pick up the pieces of his barely there parents.
