We're Not Gonna Take It (Eddie Munson Story)

Ten

*Laura's P.O.V*

After getting everyone caught up with mom's story about her brother, we all sat there. I learned the two new people's names. Lucas and Nancy.

"So what now?" Lucas asked.

"We have to find Venca and kill him," I said. "We also must get Jason to shut the hell up before panic flows through the town."

"It's only a matter of time before the cops come here looking for us," Eddie says. Eddie was sitting next to me.

"It's true," Max says. I sighed and looked at mom. She was worried.

"We could always stay at Reefer Rick's place. Considering he is in jail and no one looks out there," I tell Eddie.

"Jail?" Mom asked.

"He is the one who supplies me with the drugs," Eddie says. "Use to." Mom looks at us.

"You already know my history of alcohol and drugs," I tell her. "No surprise I made a friend who is a drug dealer." She nods her head.

"How long will you be gone?" She asked.

"Until we can clear our name. Probably have to kill Venca," I said. She looks at me. 

"Kill him. He killed my mother. Took my father's eyes. And killed me," She says. "I'll try and keep everyone from going insane." I nodded.

"I guess we have to find his lair," I said.

"No way," Steve says.

"Why?" I asked. "What are you guys not telling us?"

"His lair is in another word. We call it the upside-down. It's a world like ours, but darker," Dustin says.

"Well then. I'll be the one going," I said.

"You have to find a gate," Max says.

"And how do we find that?" I asked.

"Whenever the mind flayer attacks someone, they open a gate," Nancy says. I sighed.

"I know three gates," I said. "One at the trailer and one in the woods. And probably another one where that other kid died."

"Don't you dare think about it Laura," Eddie says.

"I have to stop this. I brought it here after years of him being asleep," I tell him. He looks at me worried. "But for now Eddie and I will hide out at Reefer Rick's place until we figure out more." They all nodded. I get up.

"I'll drive you guys to Reefer's Rick, then I'll come back and pick you up," Steve says.

"Do you guys need snacks?" Mom asked them.

"That would be great Ms. Reeves," Dustin says. I help Eddie up. "Laura." I turn to see Dustin throwing me a walkie-talkie. I looked at him. "It's to keep in contact with us."

"No shit. But don't you think those idiot cops are gonna know?" I asked.

"I have this thing called Cerebro," Dustin says. I looked at him. "No one will be able to hear us if we are on the same frequency."

"Gotcha," I said. "Be safe. And if you find anything." I held my walkie-talkie.

"You should start at my house," Mom says.

"We will go there as soon as Steve gets back," Max says.

"Keep your headphones and your favourite song close Max. He will try to attack again," I said as I grabbed my headphones and walkman. Steve, Eddie, Mom and I walked upstairs. Mom went to the kitchen to make snacks for the rest of the group.
