"JUNKYARD"

<•—•> "This is Randolph Road, right here." Lucas explains as he pushes a stick into the dirt of the junkyard. "The fence starts here and goes all the way around. And this is the lab right here." Lucas places a cup in the middle of the "fence".

"Why would they put a fence around a lab if..." Samantha starts.

"There's nothing to hide. The gate's gotta be in there somewhere. It's gotta be." Lucas finishes.

"Well, who owns Hawkins Lab?" Dustin questions.

"The sign says 'Department of Energy'," Lucas tells them.

"Department of Energy? What do you think that means?" Dustin questioned.

"It means Government. Military." Mike said loudly.

"Bad men," Eleven added. Samantha grabbed her hand with a smile.

"The bad men can't find us for now," Samantha reassured. "We need a plan."

"But why does it say energy?" Dustin mumbled.

"Just trust us," Mike said. "It's military. My dad told me before."

"Mike's right. There's soldiers out front." Lucas agreed.

"Do they make, like, lightbulbs or something?" Dustin asks.

"Idiot." Samantha flicks the back of Dustin's head before turning to Eleven.

"Do you know what's in there?" Samantha asked.

"Danger." She replied.

"They probably make weapons... to fight the Russians and commies and stuff," Mike answers.

"Weapons." Lucas breathes.

"Oh, Jesus, this is bad," Dustin says with wide eyes.

"Really bad. The place is like a fortress." Lucas says.

"So, how do we get in?" Samantha asks.

"I don't know, I thought you'd have more ideas. You are the best plan-maker." Dustin said with a groan.

"Okay. Great." Samantha sighed.

"We can't go home. We're fugitives now." Mike says. All of their heads turn when they hear a helicopter whirring.

"Shit!" They all whisper.

"Shit," Eleven says after them.

"We're gonna die. We're all dead!" Samantha panics before seeing an abandoned bus.

"Come on!" Mike yells as he follows her sight. The five run to the bus, Samantha at the end. Lucas and Dustin push their bikes under the bus while Samantha yells at them to hurry. They rush to the bus and Sam closes the door. They all rush in between the seats so they can't be seen.
