"I swear, if I'm dying tonight because of you, I'm gonna haunt your ass so hard, Harrington!"
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah! I'm gonna go full Poltergeist and shit!"

The answer for how they were getting weapons came when Eddie grabbed the phone book, slammed it down open on a page and declared, "Check this out. The War Zone."
Rowan peered over his shoulder, and saw along withe everyone else the image of an action guy surrounded by guns, bombs, and what looked like rocket launchers or bazookas while WAR ZONE was declared in bold letters. Rowan's eyebrows raised. From the ad itself, it didn't look like a place Rowan would willingly step foot in, but it looked like the place they could get weapons and supplies to kill Vecna.
"I've been there once," Eddie said, and Rowan side-eyed her best friend as he went on, "It's huge. They got everything you need for, uh... well, killing things basically."
"You think fake Rambo has enough guns there?" Robin criticised before she pointed at it. "Is that a grenade? I mean, how is any of this legal?"
"Didn't you literally talk about the police station having grenades, Robs?" Valerie pointed out, and her girlfriend looked immediately sheepish.
"Well, lucky for us it is, so..." Eddie said with forced cheer before he pressed his finger to the ad, right over the address. "This... this place is just far enough outside of Hawkins. As long as we steer clear of main roads, we oughta be able to avoid cops and, uh, angry hicks."
If Rowan could, her eyebrows would be raised higher. If they were trying to avoid the latter, this place would be the last place they should go to. And yet, they needed the weapons...
"If we're trying to avoid angry hicks, maybe we shouldn't go to some store called the War Zone," Erica pointed out with her usual sass.
"Normally, I'd agree, but we need the weapons. So I think it's worth the risk," Nancy decided.
"Me too," Lucas agreed.
"I agree. Normally I'd rather we not go there, but we need as much firepower as we can get. So I think the weapons outweigh the risks," Rowan concurred,.
"Yeah, but is it worth the time?" Dustin questioned. "It'll take all day to bike there and back."
"Not to mention biking back will take longer when we have the weapons," Cami pointed out. "That's time we don't have."
"Who said anything about bikes?" Eddie asked, making everyone look at him.
"What, you got some car we don't know about?" Steve questioned.
"Yeah, because last time I checked, Munson, you don't have your van," Rowan reminded.
"It's not exactly a car, Steve, or my van, Graveswood," Eddie said, standing up as he looked at Steve and Rowan. "And it's not exactly mine. But, uh... it'll do."
