They were at a gas station that evening, trying to figure out some way to get back to Hawkins, but every kind of transportation seemed to be unavailable.
"LET GO! I NEED THEM!" Oscar all but shrieked as Will struggling to keep him from getting inside the station.
"OSCAR REMEMBER WHY YOU QUIT, YOU'RE QUITTING FOR MIKE!"
"I LIED!"
Cigarettes were right there, he could practically smell them.
Oscar finally got out of Will's hold and ran for the front door, only to find himself frozen where he stood. "EL YOU'RE THE WORST!"
El merely shrugged, wiping at her nose when blood started to form. She stared at a billboard in wonder for a moment.
"I think I have a way of protecting Max, from here." She told them, getting everyone's attention.
She started drawing on the window of the car with her finger. "This is Max. When One attacks, he'll be in her mind. But I can do that too. I went into mama's mind, into Billy's, I can go into Max's. She can carry me to Vecna. I can piggyback. I can fight him from here."
Mike's eyes widened. "You really think that would work?"
"A bathtub would help." She added.
Oscar scowled. "Yeah but we don't exactly have a shit ton of salt lying around do we?"
"How much salt are we talking dudes?" Argyle questioned.
"A lot." Will huffed.
Argyle hummed. "Would six hundred pounds suffice?"
"You know a place that has six hundred pounds of salt?" Mike asked in disbelief.
Argyle smirked, and then began to...measure El? They weren't entirely sure but El was obviously uncomfortable. "Oh yeah, it'll work. Let's go!" He hurried into the car, the others scrambled to follow.

They went to a Surfer Boy's Pizza.
"You've gotta be shitting me." Mike deadpanned.
Argyle gave the man at the counter some of his drugs, and just like that they had the entire place to themselves and access to everything in the kitchen.

"Hey Oscar-" Will started.
"SHHHHH!" Oscar hissed. "I'm trying to listen!" He snapped.
Will's eyebrows furrowed. He looked over to see Mike and El talking and laughing at one of the tables. "Seriously?"
Oscar spun on his heel to glare at Will. "Will, the world is ending, our friends are potentially going to die tonight, I don't have my cigarettes and I haven't had a full nights sleep in days. Let. Me. Have. This."
Hands held up in defense, Will nodded. "Yes sir."
"I-I don't know..." Mike started, making Oscar turn back around and listen in. "I guess I just...I wanted to say-"
Argyle dropped a pizza down on their table. "Surfs up, Romeo."
"OH MY GOD-" Oscar all but roared. Will barely grabbed him before he could run over and kill Argyle.
"Okay- Okay, let's go somewhere else." Will insisted with a nervous smile, dragging him to the kitchen.
Jonathan was there stirring salt into the makeshift tub.
"Oh, hey Jonathan. We can take over. We wanted to talk anyway." Will insisted, grabbing one of the giant wooden pizza spatulas.
Jonathan's eyes widened. "Oh, okay."
