TWENTY-NINE | NEVER CHANGE, DUSTIN HENDERSON

"This is the War Zone." Eddie slams down a phone book. "I've been there one time. It's huge. It's your one stop shop for everything you need for killing things."

"Do you think fake Rambo has enough guns?" Robin looks down at the book entry. "How is any of this legal?"

"Lucky for us it is. This place is just far enough outside of Hawkins. As long as we steer clear of the main roads, we can avoid cops and angry hicks."

"If we're trying to avoid angry hicks, maybe we shouldn't go to a store called the War Zone." Erica says.

"Normally I'd wholeheartedly agree but we need weapons." Nancy says. "It's worth the risk."

"But is it worth the time?" Dustin asks. "It'll take all day to bike there and back."

"Who said anything about bikes?" Eddie smirks.

"You have a car that we don't know about?" Steve asks.

Eddie faces Steve. "It's not exactly a car, Steve. And it's not exactly mine but it'll do." He smirks. "Hey Red you got a ski mask or a bandanna or something?"

✧┄──🔥┄──🔥┄──🔥┄──✧

Eddie pokes his head around the corner of the trailer park, wearing Max's old Michael Myers Halloween mask. A mask that Dustin and Lucas immediately recognized as soon as she pulled it out.

They sneak across trailer park to a caravan and Eddie climbs through the window, face planting as soon as he lands.

He takes the mask off. "That was suffocating." He locks the door as everyone else climbs through the window. He takes the wire cutters out of his bag and gets to work.

"Where'd you learn this?" Steve comes up behind him.

"The other Dads were teaching their sons how to fish or play ball, mine was teaching me how to hot wire. I swore to myself a long time ago that I wouldn't end like he did, but now I'm wanted for murder and soon enough grand theft auto. So clearly I'm living up to that Munson name."

Robin comes up behind Steve. "Eddie I'm not too thrilled at the idea of you driving."

"Oh I'm just starting this sucker. Harrington's got her. Don't you big boy?"

He swipes the wires and the engine starts alerting the homeowners.

"Shit go!" Steve climbs to the wheel. "Everyone hang on to something."
