Chapter 31

We're driving to go see Eddie and bring him some food. Nancy and Robin were in the front while Max and Lucas were in the back seats leaving Dustin, Steve , and I in the trunk. 

"Not to be a wimp, but can I sit in the car for this visit 'cause this is gonna totally and royally suck?" Robin complains.

"It won't be that bad Buckley," I tell Robin.

"It'll be fine," Nancy says.

"I just can't stand to see those dull eyes of Eddie's break again. I really, really can't."

"At least he can drink himself into feeling better," Steve talks with his mouth full."

"Hey, no talking with your mouth full," I warn Steve.

"Why don't we give it a trial run ?" Robin asks. "Hey, Eddie. Uh, good new first this time. We got you some Dustin-approved junk food and that's six-pack you requested. Oh yeah, and we found Vecna, only bad news is that he's in that other, darker, much scarier dimension, that we told you about. Oh and the gates closed, so we have no way of getting to him. He's entirely shut off to us, so basically you're screwed. And, no, I know you were already screwed, but now you're doubly, triply screwed," Robin rants.

"Robin, we're not going to put it like that," I shut her thoughts down.

"We're one step closer to finding Vecna. That's what we say. That's what's important." Nancy says.

See, Robin? Positive spin can make the difference," Steve sticks a Pringle in his mouth while he talks. I shove him and give him warning eyes. I don't even have to talk for him to know what I'm thinking. He swallows the Pringle and mutters 'sorry.'

We hear Nancy say, "oh shit," and we turn to see what's she's looking at. She stops the car and we all get out of the car with Nancy leading the way.

"C'mon, this way," she walks in front of us. We stop to listen to the sherif talk to the news camera. He talks about a killing at the lake and how they all think Eddie did it.

Eddie could never do that. That fact he's being framed for this is insane. It's bizarre. How could they think nerdy, D&D, Star Wars watching Eddie would do this? It's unbelievable.

"This is not good," Steve mutters to us.

We then hear Eddie talk from Dustin's Walkie Talkie. "Dustin? Can you hear me? Johnson?"

"Eddie, holy shit, are you okay?" Dustin asks Eddie.

"Nah, man. Pretty...pretty goddamn far from okay."

"Where is he?" I ask Dustin to ask Eddie.

"Where are you?" Dustin asks.

"Skull Rock. Do you know it?"

I take the Walkie from Dustin, "yeah, of course I know where that is. Who do you think I am? A loser?"

"Y/n," we could hear Eddie chuckle.

"Eddie, we're coming," I give the Walkie back to Dustin and I lead the way for everyone. Steve rushes up to me and starts walking by my side.

"How do you know where Skull Rock is," Steve asks protectively.

"Steve, we were young teens in high school. Of course I came up here with boys."

"Well, I'm the king of Skull Rock. I should be leading the way," Steve argues.

"Mhm, sure Steve," I smirk to myself. "You're acting like I wasn't popular at this spot too."

Steve tries to make out words but he can't.
