Jason and the basketball team reached Dustin's house, they looked inside and nothing.

"We keep looking. The towns not that big. Only so many places these freaks can burrow." Jason said. They stepped down and went back down to their car. But they didn't see Lucas.

"Where the hell is Sinclair?"

Lucas went into Dustin's bedroom window, grabbing his radio to try and find him.

"Dustin. It's Lucas, do you copy? Dustin."

"Lucas? Where the hell have you been?" Dustin asked, picking up his walkie-talkie  and speaking into it.

"Just listen. Are you looking for Eddie?"

"We found him, no thanks to you."

"You found him?"

"A boathouse on Coal Mill Road. Don't worry, he's safe with Mira."

"With Mira? You guys know he killed Chrissy, right? She's with that murderer?"

"That's bullshit. Eddie tried to save Chrissy."

"Then why do all the cops say he did it?"

Max took the walkie talkie from Dustin.

"Lucas, you're so behind it's ridiculous, okay? Just meet us at school. We'll explain later."

"I...I can't. I think some real bad shits about to go down."

"Lucas. What do you mean-" Dj asked, worried for Mira. Maybe the cops knew where Eddie was, that means that Eddie And Mira were in danger.

"What are you talking about? What bad shit?"

"Sinclair!" Jason called out when he saw Lucas in Dustin's room.

Lucas turned back to face Jason, and then the radio went silent.

"Lucas? Lucas?" Max said, but no answer.

Lucas jumped out of Dustin's room.

"What the hell were you doing?" Jason asked him.

"I was... I was looking for clues."

"Clues? What, freshman think he's Sherlock Holmes or something?"

"Yo let's go."

They started to walk back towards Jason's car before Lucas spoke again.

"I found one."

"What?"

"A clue. I know where Eddie's hiding."

"Do you remember me from middle school?" Eddie asked out of the blue.

"Uh. Yeah, yeah, I do. We had science class together."

"Yea. I used to look really different then." He laughed, the two of them sat in the boat just talking.

"Yep. You really did."

"You were- you were absolutely gorgeous, I remember you being the exact same-"

"Oh, so am I not gorgeous now munson?"

"Wha- of course you are! I didn't- I didn't mean it like-"

"I'm teasing, Ed's." She laughed.

"I mean- 8th grade me was something else."

"Yeah- didn't you get in trouble for flicking everybody off in the middle of a presentation and just left?"

"Yea. That was hilarious. How do you remember that?"
