chapter fifty-nine
[ the end of it all ]

the sun had set and it was now night. the group were all in the RV, going over the plan to take vecna down.

"okay," nancy spoke, "i wanna run through it one more time." she told the others who all nodded.

"phase one."

"we meet erica at the playground." robin answered, "she'll signal max and lucas when we're ready."

"phase two."

"max baits vecna." steve speaks now, "he'll go after her, which'll put him in his trance."

"phase three?" she looks directly at dustin and eddie.

eddie helps her up and she climbs through, landing right on the mattress. steve held out his hand and she grabbed it, "wait wrong hand, fuck steve!" she yelled at him, quickly switching it.

soon everyone made it and all headed outside.

holy shit, this was really happening.

"hey, guys, listen." steve stopped and turned around, "if things here start to go south, i mean, at all, you abort."

"steve..." melissa sighed.

"i mean it." he said, looking right at her.

"draw the attention of the bats. keep 'em busy for a minute or two. we'll take care of vecna." eddie and dustin nod, "don't try to be cute or be a hero or something. okay? you guys are just-"
