We went to the mall to buy some food and drinks for Eddie.

I parked my car and took the bag. We all walked to the house again.

"Delivery servcice." Dustin smiled.

We gave him the food and then sat down.

"So we got, uh, some good news and some bad news. How do you prefer it?" Dustin asked.

"Bad news first, always." Eddie replied.

"All right. Bad news. We tapped into the Hawkins PD dispatch with out Cerebro, and they're definetely looking for you. Also, they're, uh, pretty convinced you killed Chrissy." Dustin spoke.

"Like, a 100% kind of convinced." Max added.

"And the good news?" Eddie asked.

"Your name hasn't gone public yet." I replied.

"But if we found out about you, it's matter of time before others do." Robin added. "And once that gets out, everyone and their shallow-minded mother is gonna be gunning for you."

"Hunt the freak, right?" Eddie asked.

"Exactly." Robin replied.

"Shit." He mumbled.

"So, before that happens, we need to find Vecna, kill him, and prove your innocence." Dustin said.

"That's all, Dustin? That's all?" Eddie asked ironically.

"Yeah, no, that's pretty much it." Dustin replied.

"Listen, Eddie. I know everything Dustin's saying sounds totally delusional, but we've actually been through this before. I mean, they have a... a few times, and I have once." Robin spoke, "Mine was more human-flesh-based, their was more smoke-related, but bottom line is, collectively, I really feel we got this."

"Yes. We usually rely on this girl who has super powers. But, uh, those went bye-bye, so.." Steve spoke.

"She lost her powers. But I still got them. I can protect you." I spoke looking at Eddie.

"Yeah... there's nothing to worry about." Dustin said.

Eddie looked at us confused.

Suddenly, there was sirens wiling.

"Shit." Steve mumbled.

"Tarp." Robin spoke.

Eddie hid behind the tarp and we walked to the window. There was police car and an ambulence car.

[...]

We got into Steve's car and followed the police.

Steve stopped when we saw Nancy talking to the police. I got out of the car quickly and looked at her. She smiled when she spotted us and waved at us

[...]

"So.. you're saying that this thing that killed Fred and Chrissy, it's from the Upside Down?" Nancy asked.

"If the shoe fits." Steve replied.

"Our working theory is that he attacks with a spell or a curse. Now, whether or not he's doing the bidding of the Mind Flayer or just love killing teens, we don't know." Dustin spoke.

"All we know is this is something different. Something new." Max added.

"Doesn't make sense." Nancy spoke.

"It's only a theory." I spoke.

"No, Fred and Chrissy don't make sense. I mean, why them?" Nancy replied.
