"You're positive that was Dart?" Lucas asked Dustin as they all walked down the track

"You're positive that was Dart?" Lucas asked Dustin as they all walked down the track.

"Yes. He had the same exact yellow pattern on his butt." Dustin clarified.

"He was tiny two days ago." Max pointed out.

"Well, he's molted three times already. He sheds his skin to make room for growth like hornworms." He informed all of them.

"When's he gonna molt again?"

"It's gotta be soon." Dustin estimated. "When he does, he'll be fully grown, or close to it. And so will his friends."

"Yeah, and he's gonna eat a lot more than just cats." Steve said jokingly.

Lucas grabbed Dustin by the shoulder and stopped him from walking further. "Wait, a cat? Dart ate a cat?"

"No, what?" Dustin shook his head. "No."

"Uh-oh." Clara muttered under her breath.

Steve didn't get the hint to keep his mouth shut. "What are you talking about? He ate Mews."

"Mews? Who's Mews?" Max asked the older boy.

"It's Dustin's cat."

"Steve!" Dustin shouted to get him to stop.

"I knew it! You kept him!"

"No! No. No, I... No, I..." Dustin tried denying but gave up when Lucas didn't believe him. "He missed me. He wanted to come home."

"Bullshit!"

"I didn't know he was a Demogorgon, okay?"

"Oh, so now you admit it?"

"Shut up!" Clara exclaimed, all of them look at her. "Dustin, I'm sorry about Mews and Lucas, sorry that he didn't tell you but you both need to shut the hell up because we have more important things to deal with here. Okay?"

"Now, I heard screeching that way." Clara pointed to the side of them. "So, be prepared to whoop some Demogorgon ass because they're heading towards the lab where your friend and my little brother is at so let's go. Now."

Clara started to walk towards the noise which left the group to stand there, a little frightened. They all looked at each other before they followed Clara to the lab.

They walked through the set of woods until they reached the Hawkins Lab where Will and Mike resided at. They went into the property cautiously as they noticed two figures near the entrance of the property. Clara led them where the figures stood only to see her sister, Nancy and Jonathan Byers.

"Clara?"

Clara pursed her lips and waved awkwardly. "Hey."

After that, they all caught up on the supernatural drama. Clara told Nancy and Jonathan about what shenanigans they all got into and they informed her of theirs. Turns out Nancy and Jonathan were doing their own detective work.
