Steve was the last one to fall through the hole, grunting in pain. He wore the same goggles and bandanna as the rest, but he pulled it off a little more.

The brunette finally settled on his feet, taking in the tunnels. "Holy shit." He breathes, spinning around to take in every angle. "Uh yeah." Darian breathes from beside him.

"Uh, yeah, I'm pretty sure it's this way," Mike calls out, flashing a light on a homemade map. "You're pretty sure, or you're certain?" Dustin asks, making Mike whirl around in annoyance. "I'm 100% sure. Just follow me and you'll know." Mike says, turn back around to lead the charge.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, hey, hey, hey. I don't think so." Darian exclaims, finally taking in the reigns a little, they may have manipulated him on being here, but he wasn't about to let his kid brother lead. "What?" Mike asks confused.

"Yeah, what Darian said about a million times if any of you little shits die down here, me and Darian are getting the blame. Got it, dipshit?" Steve asks, approaching Mike with Darian in tow. Steve reaches over and snatches the gas can from Mike's grasp.

"From here on out, I'm leading the way. Come on, let's go." Steve orders, Darian lifts an impressed brow, following after him. "Come on, you heard the man," Darian states

Everyone scrambles after Steve. "Hey, a little hustle!" Steve exclaims

....

The tunnels seemed endless, it was almost exhausting. "God." Lucas breathes "What is this place?" Max asks

Darian takes in the slimy-looking walls, grimacing. But dirty walls were the least of worries, which sounded ridiculous. He should be at Jamie's place, ranting about Billy. But now he couldn't do that, Billy had to ruin it, he had to be a complete asshole.

"Guys, come on. Keep moving." Steve orders

Everyone hustles forward, suddenly they hear screaming. Everyone turns and bolts towards Dustin. Dustin continued to scream and wither on the ground. "What happened?" Steve asks, worried. He flashes the light down on Dustin's squirming floor.

Dustin whimpers. "It's in my mouth! Some got in my mouth! Shit." Dustin hisses, screeching and coughing while everyone stands over him. "Shit," Lucas whispers
