Chapter eight: The Spy

An hour or so later, they came upon a clearing which was the old junkyard. It was the same as the last time both Dustin and Phoebe had been there. The bus was still there, but even more, rusted and scorched from the sun.

The sides were still lined with abandoned cars and sheet metal. The sun shone brightly over the large area, and it was actually quite nice out if it weren't for the fact that they were trying to capture a mini Demogorgon.

"Oh, yeah. Yeah, that'll do." Steve nods before starting down the hill and taking his sunglasses off, which he had put on a few minutes earlier. "This will do just fine. Good call, dude."

They started to arrange things, and put their plan in motion. The rest of the meat in their buckets was poured into a pile in the middle of the junkyard.

"I SAID MEDIUM WELL!"

The trio looked up, finding that a smiling and waving Lucas Sinclair standing atop a hill with the familiar redhead standing next to him. They started to walk down the hill towards them, and the redhead smiled and waved slightly towards them.

Steve had a confused look on his face as he looked at the redheaded girl, "Who's that?"

"Max," Phoebe answers as Dustin is too busy frowning at the fact that his best friend is with his crush. Steve gives her a look, wanting to know if it's the Max. She nods, and he purses his lips before she nods, and he purses his lips before rubbing her shoulder.

As Lucas and Max come over to them, Phoebe avoids Max's gaze, and grabs Lucas's arm, "We need to talk," she said dead serious. They walk over behind an abandoned car and kneel down.

Both Phoebe and Dustin wanted to know why the hell Max was here when Lucas knew what they were doing. Dustin's eyes widened once Lucas explained, "you told her?"

"So what?" Lucas asks.

Phoebe scoffs, "So what? Don't you realize that you just did? She could get herself in a lot of trouble for god's sake, but bringing her here is even worse! She could get hurt, Lucas!"

"Yeah, we all agreed not to tell her and to look for Dart." Dustin agrees "who you conveniently found." Lucas states "are you suggesting that I'm lying?" Dustin questions. Phoebe was about to talk but quickly shut her mouth, knowing that he did lie, but doesn't wanna tell Lucas about it.

"I'm saying you have a creepy little bond with him," Lucas says "yeah, that was before he turned into a Demogorgon." Dustin defends.

"And you haven't heard from Mike?" Lucas questions, looking between both of them. "Either of you?"

"No." They say together.

"Or Will?"

"No."

"Hopper?"

"No! No one is around!" Dustin yells, annoyed. "Why do you think I'm with Steve Harrington? Thankfully, Phoebe was with him, but the only reason he's here is that I couldn't get in contact with any of you something's-"

"-Wrong. I agree." Lucas interrupts, nodding "which is why we need as much help as we can get." They hear a grunt come from Max as she lifts sheet metal and sets it against the bus. They all stand up and look at her. Lucas sighs, "She didn't believe me anyway."

"You probably didn't tell it right," Dustin says. Phoebe chuckles and agrees, "that must be it. It's better that she doesn't believe it. It keeps her safer, but I still don't think it was a good idea."

"Don't worry Phoebe, I didn't tell her about your powers, it's your secret to tell, not mine" Lucas says to Phoebe who was thankful for it and smiles.

Lucas sighs, and holds out his hands, "Well, we
good?"
