~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Me, Harrington, and Dustin were in the back room trying to translate the Russian code Dustin had found on his way back home.

Robin had heard everything and had come in to try to help us.

"Let me help I know Russian"

I couldn't say anything before the boys had automatically told her no. 

"Come on y'all aren't being very quiet and I'm tired of scooping"

"I think she should help, I mean she did say she knew Russian and none of us do."

They all looked at me, one happy face from robin, a confused face from Dustin, and last of all a slightly irritated but surprised face from Harrington.

"See thanks Jen"

She knows my name?

She knew my name?

Wait......OMG SHE KNOWS MY NAME

How?

When?

What?

Harrington and Dustin have never called me Jen which means she knew it before hand. How long has this beauty known my name. 

"Yea of course, plus another girl would be great and really helpful."

I smiled and she smiled right back at me.

Wow her smile is really pretty, I hope I get to see her smile a lot more. 

She came towards me and gave Steve the scooper. He took it in disappointment and headed back into the front. 

Robin sat next to me and looked at us ready to listen.

Me and Dustin began to play the tape for her. Step by step she had helped us figure out what the Russian's were trying to do and what they had said. 

~Hours Later~

"Okay so it's saying The week is long. The silver cat feeds when blue meets yellow in the west. A trip to China sounds nice if you tread lightly.  What does that even mean?" She looked at us in confusion and we were just as confused as her.

"Are you sure you even read that right cause that doesn't make any sense."

Me and Dustin looked at each other and just shrugged. I looked back at Robin to see her mumbling to herself so I went to the board to try to help her.

"Hey don't worry about it to much the mall is already closed and we should all get ready to head home."

She nodded and we began to pack our things and close up the shop. As we are walking Harrington goes off to a machine.

"Quarters who has quarters"

We looked at him as if he was going crazy and just gave him what he needed.

"This music is the same from the tape"

Dustin didn't believe it and tried to tell him that this music could play on this machine anywhere.  

Then Harrington told us just what we needed to know...That the Russians were right her in Hawkins, Indiana. 

It had all of us seriously thinking about it, but we didn't know what we could do right then right there with no sleep and with stressed minds.

We started heading out and Harrington had offered us a ride but only Dustin said yes so he drove home with Harrington. 

I went to my bike and got ready to bike off before Robin had come up to me.

"Hey Jen I don't know if you remember me from school but in case you know you ever need help with school here's my number."

I smiled as she handed me a piece of paper.

"Thanks Robin, I'll use it."

I watched as she walked away before I had gotten back on my bike and headed home. 

That night that girl was all I could think about. Who knew a girl like Ms.Robin Buckley would truly exist.
