The group pulled up to 2121 Holland Road. The sun has already set, and it was dark. They all got out of the car and Ruby went to check the name on the mailbox that was just on the edge of the driveway. On it, was written in relatively big white paint.

"Lipton"

"We're in the right place. You can ring the doorbell, Dusty." She called out to her friends as she walked back over to the doorstep, where they were all standing.

Dustin obeyed and rang the doorbell. The rings echoed through the house, but no one answered. He was frustrated, so he rang a couple more times, before pressing the button relentlessly over and over again.

"Okay. Well, that's settled. I guess he's not here." Steve talked, but Dustin ignored his words and began knocking and banging on the door.

"Eddie! It's Dustin!"

"Great." Steve shrugged.

"Look, we just wanna talk, okay? No cops, I swear. We just wanna help." Dustin continued to shout as Robin shone her flashlight and looked inside through the windows.

"Eddie!" Dustin banged even harder on the door now.

"Shh." Robin shushed him, but he yet again ignored the remark and rang the doorbell continuously.

"Rick! Reefer Rick." He tried to yell the drug dealer's name now, maybe it'll make a difference. But it didn't.

"Don't scream that." Steve almost whispered.

"Rick!" Dustin continued shouting.

"He's not there. Just..." The former Hawkins High king still tried to convince the boy.

"Reefer Rick!" The young boy yelled again.

"He could just be really high." Dustin explained his actions, now in a soft manner.

Max, Robin and Ruby were looking through the windows, trying to find any signs of someone actually being there. But then Max began walking, turning a corner until she was out of sight.

"Maxi." Ruby whisper- shouted, catching up with the redhead. "Maxi. Where are you going?"

"Maybe there's a shed or something that Eddie could be hiding in, I don't know. Let's look." She explained as they both looked around and noticed something on the edge of the lake. They could still hear Dustin and Steve bickering.

"Is that a foot?" Steve asked.

"No, that's a shoe." Dustin sounded like he was done. It made the brunette giggle before she heard Max yell towards them.

"Hey, guys?" They all came over to where the two girls were already standing. "I think we should check that boathouse out." Ruby spoke before begging to walk to it.
