She sits next to him, knowing that he looks at her. Obviously, she is still thinking about the fact that she saw him with flowers, ready to speak with Nancy and not her. That part still hurt Elvira, but she couldn't say anything about it, at least not yet.

"Eyes on the road" Elvira tells Steve and he turns his eyes fully on the road. Dustin is giving him a weird look from the backseat, trying to understand what happened between them.

"Wait a sec. How big?" Steve asks Dustin and Elvira.

"First it was like that. Now he's like this" Dustin says showing with his hands Dart's size.

"I swear to God, man, it's just some little lizard, okay?" Steve says, not believing at him.

"It's not a lizard" Elvira says.

How do you know?" Steve asks her.

"How do I know if it's not?" She asks and looks at him.

"How do you know it's not just a lizard?" Steve raises his voice.

"Cause I saw it" She says.

"So?" Steve asks and lifts his shoulders.

"Because his face opened up and he ate my cat" Dustin says, interrupting the two of them.

"Is that a good excuse for you?" Elvira asks, avoiding his gaze. Steve stares at her, ready to speak but he decides not to.

Steve parks the car in front of Dustin's house. They get out and he opens the trunk. He throws the keys to Dustin and grabs his nailed baseball bat. Elvira closes the trunk and together, the three of them walk to Dustin's basement, outside his house.

"I don't hear shit" Steve says and Elvira scoffs.

"He's in there" Dustin says and they get cloeer to the door. Steve looks at the red mist that's keeping the door closed.

"What's that?" He asks.

"Me" Elvira says and turns her gaze to him. Steve looks at her eyes glowing red as he simply nods.

"All right, listen, kid. I swear, if this is some sort of Halloween prank, you're dead" Steve says, flashing Dustin's eyes.

"It's not" Dustin says.

"All right?" Steve asks him.

"It's not a prank!" Dustin says again.

"It's not?" Steve asks again, but this time he looks at Elvira.
