"okay. i wanna run through it one more time." began nancy, turning around. all eyes were on her. "phase one."
"we meet erica at the playground. she'll signal max and lucas when we're ready." robin stated.
"phase two."
"diana or max will bait vecna. he'll go after them, which'll put him in is his trance." steve said.
"phase three?"
"me and eddie draw the bats away." dustin answered, eddie slapped the younger boy's shoulders.
"four."
"we head into vecna's newly bat-free lair, and..." lydia started, she shook the bottle that was in her hands, "flambè."
"nobody moves on to the next phase until we've all copied. nobody deviates from the plan, no matter what." everyone knew about diana's plan. she never explicitly told them but it was obvious to everyone but max. "got it?"
"got it." everyone said in unison. they all left the van, lydia grabbed melody's hand, and nodded in her direction. her first priority was to keep the young girl safe at all times. she could give less of a shit about vecna if melody got a scratch. they all exited the trailer and made their way to eddie's where the gate was. they made sure that no one could see them since they were all armed except melody.
when eddie's trailer came into view, they all made a run for it. once they were all in, they removed their backpacks with all their weapons. "be careful." dustin told steve.
"thanks, buddy." with a small pat on dustin's shoulder, steve began climbing up the rope. he paused once his head was in the upside down, then he did a flip, landing on his feet. he looked up at the others, giving them a smug look.
"what does he want us to do, applaud?" robin muttered, sarcastically. lydia smiled a bit. steve came back into view after a few seconds and dropped the mattress down.
