Smoking About You

Chapter Twenty-One

"So you're telling me.." Nancy started as she sat herself down on the couch gathered by the group

"Billy and Eddie got possessed once again while you were in a sort-of building, who was run by -"

Nancy tried to think of the name, "Sullivan." Mike answered, "Right, and he took them away?" She finished with a question.

"Basically, and we need to get them back." Robin said, "And that's why you all are dressed like it's a funeral?"

Everyone looked down at their clothes, "At least we're prepared if it becomes one." Mike joked

Steve walked inside the house, arguing with Dustin, who was behind him, "No, I can't use it. It'll never work."

"It's still morning, and you two are arguing?" Robin asked them, "Not anymore." Steve replied

"What are you two fighting about?" Chrissy asked, folding her hands together, "He won't use this super cool weapon." Dustin rolled his eyes.

"What weapon?" Nancy asked, tilting her head, "It doesn't matter -" Dustin put his backpack down to get the weapon

He pulled out a wooden baseball bat with nails pushed into it, "This one." Dustin said nonchalantly

"Is that blood?" Robin asked, looking closer, Argyle held his hands out for the bat, and Dustin gave it to him.

He swung it without hitting anyone around him, "Hey man, if you're not gonna use it, I sure will, this is sick."

"Have at it." Steve waved his hand off to Argyle, "You brought your guns right, Nance?" Steve asked

She pulled one from the holster in her belt, "Right here. Another one is in my bag."

"Great, everyone ready to go?" Steve put one hand on his hips waiting, Dustin and Mike laughed to each other

Steve dropped his hand in response, "Nancy, you're taking those two." He said, walking out of the door.

"Wait, no! Take me too!" Dustin yelled, running after him outside of the house, "I'm fine going with you." Mike added

Steve led the way to the building in Billy's car with Robin in the passenger seat, having called shotgun and Dustin sitting in the middle of the back.

"What are we going to do if someone tries to fight us?" Dustin asked, "Yeah Harrington?" Robin asked poking a bruise on his cheek

Steve pulled away, "This time, I'm not unconscious or tied down." Dustin looked at Robin, then back at Steve

"Being awake will help your fighting skills?" Both laughed while Steve rolled his eyes.

"After three years of being beat up, I hope I improved some skill." Robin put her hand on his shoulder, "Three?"

The torment from Robin and Dustin ended as Steve pulled into the parking lot of the building

Once Steve had parked the car, Nancy did as well. They were not hidden but not in open sight either

Steve put his hands on his hips as a habit while looking up at the building, "What floor do you think they're on?"

"When they took them, I think the button they clicked was up." Dustin answered, standing beside him.

"What floor were we on before? Eighth, Seventh?"

"Seventh."

"Eighth."

Robin and Mike had both said different floors at the same time after Steve had asked, making the group look

"It was the seventh." Robin argued, "I'm pretty sure it was the eighth." Mike said, crossing his arms
