"You should go with him"Steve says to Nancy, as they were looking

"What?"Nancy says, confused

"With Jonathan"Steve tells her

"No,I'm.. I'm not just gonna leave Mike"Nancy replies, Steve stands from his crouching position.

"No one's leaving anyone"Steve says

"I may be a pretty shitty boyfriend but.. Turns out I'm a damn good babysitter"Steve says, picking something up and handing it to Nancy. There's a silence

"Steve"Nancy whispered

"It's ok Nance, it's ok"Steve reassures.

There's a silence

"I see the way you look at her"Nancy speaks up, Steve give her a confused look

"Danielle"Nancy finished, Steve sighs knowing he might as well be honest

"I knew I was gonna fall in love, I didn't expect to fall that quickly"Steve admits, Nancy nods

"I know how that feels,"Nancy says.

Danielle meanwhile was pulling the kids inside, with the help of Steve after the 2 cars pulled away. The boys try to find a way to fit the Demo-dog in the fridge.Dustin starts pulling out stuff out of Joyce's fridge, to fit it in. They quickly got it in and shut it quickly. We start cleaning up the house from earlier events. Steve trying to keep the kids calm as I cleaned in around the kitchen

"I mean, these Demo-dogs, they have a hive mind. When they ran away from the bus, they were called away.If we get their attention -"Dustin started

" Maybe we can draw them from the lab."Lucas

"Clear a path to the gate."I mutter

"Yeah, and then we all die."Steve says, dramatically

"That's one point of view."Dustin shrugs

"No, that's not a point of view, man. That's a fact"Steve says

"I got it! This is where the chief dug his hole. This is our way into the tunnel. So Here, right here.This is like a hub. So you got all the tunnels feeding in here."Mike explains

"Maybe if we set this on fire "Dustin begins

"Oh, yeah? That's a no."Steve immediately says

"The mind flayer would call away his army. They'd all come to stop us. We circle back to the exit."Dustin says

"Guys."Steve says, trying to get there attention

" By the time they realise we're gone "Lucas says

"El would be at the gate."Mike says

Hey.Hey! Hey! This is not happening."Stev says, firmly

"But"The kids say

" No, no, no, no, no. No buts.I promised I'd keep you shitheads safe, and that's exactly what I plan on doing. We're staying here.On the bench.And we're waiting for the starting team to do their job. Does everybody understand?"Steve explains

" This isn't a stupid sports game."Mike argues

"I said, does everybody understand that? I need a yes."Steve repeats

"Momma Steve has come out again"I tease, Steve gives me a glare then an engine revs outside, catching all our attention.

"It's my brother,"Max says, turning away from the window. Steve and I make eye contact. This ain't gonna end well. Steve goes outside, I stand beside him

"Am I dreaming or is that you Harrrington"Billy says, taking a drag.

"Yeah it's me dont cream your pants"Steve retaliates, hands on his hips. It was kinda hot, not going to lie. Wait what am I thinking? Billy takes his leather jacket off

"What are you doing here Amigo"Billy asks,, as they walk closer to each other

"I could ask you the same thing"Steve responds "Amigo"

"Looking for my step sister. A little birdie told me she was here"Billy replies

"Huh that's weird I don't know her"Steve lies

"Small redhead? Bit of a bitch"Billy says, I go to take a step forward but Steve stops me

"Doesn't ring a bell sorry buddy"Steve says, Billy takes his cigarette out of his mouth

"You know, I don't know, this. This whole situation Harrington, I don't know. It's giving me the heebie-jeebies"Billy says

"Oh yeah, why's that?"Steve asks

"My 13 year old sister goes missing all day and then I find her with you in a Strangers house. And you lie to me about it"Billy says

"Were you dropped too much as a child or what? I don't know what you don't understand about what I just said. She's not here"Steve says

"Who is that"Billy says, gesturing to the window. I roll my eyes. Damn kids.

"Oh shit, listen"Steve is cut of by Billy pushing him down

"I told you to plant your feet"Billy says, then kicks him, I get in between Billy and Steve

"Hey! Knock it off"I say getting in his face

"Don't get involved sweetheart"Billy says. Then pushes past me. Into the house as I chase after him into the house. I run into the house to see Billy pushing Lucas against a wall. He kicks him off

"Your so dead Sinclair"Billy yells, then I get in front of him
