Unexpected

Guns and Roses.

"He's here." He almost yells as he rushes out of El's old bedroom.

 

 Everyone scrambled to grab their weapons, 

 

Dustin and Eddie, daggers roped into sticks and trash can caps with nails poking out the front. 

 

Steve, his bat. 

 

Robin, an ax. 

 

Nancy, her rifle with a sawed off tip, and other assortment of guns, pockets filled to the brim with ammo.

 

"Nancy? Do you happen to have a rifle that doesn't have its tip sawed off?" He asked, he had to get over the fear of his old rifle, and now was the time.

 

Nancy looked at him baffled but passed him another rifle she had hidden." We bought two in case the first didn't work.Here ammo, be safe" 

 

He loaded the rifle with ease just like the one they used to own. Just how Lonnie taught him. All those years ago.

 

He braced himself pointing towards where he felt the chilling feeling of Him the rest followed suit. 

 

Bam!

 

Bats came in and overwhelmed them but he was ready and started shooting them down, some just damaging, others, full on killing them. The rest, starting to harm the swarm of bats. 

 

All of them circling his sister.

 

They knew what He wanted, his sister, Eleven. And he'd be damned before he gives up and lets Him have her.

 

 Someone, most likely Dustin, passed Boris and Argyle the sticks with daggers and a cap with nails poking out the front.

 

He wasn't keeping score, but he got a lot of them down before they retreated. He started stomping down the injured. They walked out, he put the rifle on safety, put the strap on and that's when he started to panic.

 

"They know where we are, we need to leave now." And everyone agreed. "But where?"

 

"I know a place." Murray said. 

 

"We split into teams the Californian, the Russian rescues, and the Hawkins force." Dustin says while smiling his signature grin. Names all thought by dustin.

 

"Team one; Californian; for Will, Boris, Mike, Johnathon, Argyle and El.  The team that saved El and helped her 'piggy back'." He states and he couldn't really disagree with him.

 

"Team 2; Russian rescues; Ms. Byers, Hopper, Murray and Dmitri. For saving Hopper from the Russian base."

 

"Team 3; Hawkins force; Me, Steve, Robin, Erica, Max, Lucas, Nancy and Eddie. For being there defending Hawkins while they were gone."

 

They split up into cars. Steve a RV and took the "Hawkins force" 

 

His team went into the pizza van they arrived in.

 

And moms went in a government car the government lady left behind for Hopper. Hopper's car went first where they are supposed to follow, they went second and Dustin's team went third. They raced against the clock. They went way over many speed limits.

 

"Will, where did you learn to shoot a gun like that!" Mike asks. "Da, where did you learn how to shoot?" Boris backs him up.

 

He sort of slumps in his seat, he didn't like the answer, "Lonnie showed me. He wanted me to 'man up!' And 'hunt like a real man!' But I never had the heart, I couldn't even hit a bunny without guilt, so I stopped after he left." That answer gained a silence from the rest of his 'team'. He watched as Jonathon looked in the rearview mirror and looked at him with sympathy. 

 

They made it, 2 hours later to what Jonathan says to be Murphy's home. 

 

As Murphy opened the door, he cringed, it reeked of liquor and smoke, sort of boris' room but 10 times worse. 

 
B

oris sort of inhaled and said "ah, reminds me of my father." He tried to lighten the mood but no one's mood was lifted other than Will, he sort of laughed. "Tough crowd" he cringed.
