  The commander stood between Daphne and Steve now and smirked at the doctor. Robin was turned over her shoulder to watch and Daphne kept looking between the metal clamp on her nail, the doctor, Steve, and the commander.

    "It is your small, curly-haired, friend?" The commander questioned. Steve grinned almost giddily at the thought of Dustin and replied, "Oh, curly-haired. Great hair. Small. Kind of like a 'fro, yeah."

    Steve stared up at the commander again. His face was still a mess and the blood was drying on his face at this point. "He's long gone, you big asshole," he laughed, "and he's probably calling Hopper, and Hopper's calling the US cavalry. They're gonna come in here, commando-style, guns a-blazin' and kick your sorry asses back to Russia. You're gonna be two pieces of toast."

    Once again Steve started to laugh with Robin and Daphne following right behind him. They tried to hold it back, but it just kept coming out. The commander leaned down to Steve who was barely paying attention. "Is that so?" Steve grinned, titled his head in the endearing way he always did, and nodded, "Yeah."

    The three let out a belly laugh again and the commander stood back up and turned toward the doctor who was still holding onto Daphne's finger. Both had evil smirks plastered on their faces.

    Then, out of nowhere, the alarm started to sound throughout the base again. The same alarm that blared when their presence was discovered. They all snapped their heads toward the door. The commander's face dropped suddenly as he looked at the three teens.

    A smirk spread over Steve's face as the commander glared at him. He shrugged knowingly at the Russians before they could hear others yelling and running around outside of the door. It actually made the commander look worried, especially after what Steve had said just seconds before. He instructed the doctor to stay while he went to investigate what was happening.

    Then, suddenly the other door, in front of Robin, burst open with two familiar faces and a scream. The doctor looked up in shock when Dustin stuck a long taser into his chest. The doctor stumbled back as the electric shock flowed through his body and fell to the floor twitching slightly before laying still.

    "Hey! Henderson!" Steve exclaimed while Dustin started to untie his restraints. "That's crazy I was just talking about you."

    "He was. He was just talking about you," Daphne chortled behind Dustin knelt on the floor. "Oh my God!" Robin exclaimed as Erica worked on her restraints.

    "Get ready to run," Dustin instructed as he got Steve free and then turned to Daphne to get her out.

    "Come on, let's go!" Erica exclaimed and led them out of the room and down a few halls and turns. Steve, Daphne, and Robin were stumbling behind the kids and trying to keep up with them. Dustin ended up having to take Steve and Robin by the wrists and Erica take Daphne until they came to one of the red transport cars.
