"Huuuhhh"
Dustin huffs his third sigh of the night, which is followed by awkward coughs. He sounds like a grandpa from the 60's recovering from a cigarette addiction and every so often he turns his head, giving us obvious side glances. We continue trailing through the eery woods. Cigarettes and Steve walk ahead, leading the path. They hold up their shining flashlight creating the only light in the dark night. Max and I trail behind them, my arm snug across her shoulders.
As we approach Hawkins's lab, a familiar voice yells through the woods, "Hello! Who's there?"
Two figures stand in the distance as we continue to walk. Dustin and Steve bring their flashlights closer. Familiar faces brought the familiar voice.
"Steve?" The voices yell sync
"Nancy?"
"Johnathan?" Dustin and Steve yell, step closer towards the pair.
"What are you doing here?" Steve's face scrunches with an unreadable expression.
"Looking for Mike and will." Nancy answers
"They're not in there, are they?" Dustin point towards the dark building.
"Not sure." Nancy's voice waivers
*Roarrrrr* our heads follow the sound of screech's echoing from the large building.
"What the fuck was that?" Steve's questions
"I don't know." Johnathan mumbles.
"Will and Mike aren't in there, they can't be." Nancy reassures, reading Jonathan's expression.
"Well, when was the last time you guys saw them?" Dustin ask
"I-um" I stop myself. When was the last time I'd seen Mike and will? My hands swing by my side. I'm not sure what to do with them now that max is no longer in my hold. I zone all the rambling out and look over at max. Her gaze focus on the conversation happening before us. Her face looks even prettier on its side. Her nose is a perfect little bump, like a baby's nose. And, if you lean close enough, you can see the freckles that litter her cheek; complimenting her skin.
"The powers back on!" Nancy yells, causing me to detach my eyes from Max.
The dark building suddenly starts to glow as the lights shine through the glass window one by one.
"Okay, guys come on." Steve's says pulling on the gate.
"You have to remotely open the gate idiot." Dustin says watching Steve struggle to open the still gate.
____
"Let me try." Dustin ask eagerly pushing pass Johnathan
"Hang on..." Johnathan says focus. He continuously presses on the uncooperative button
"Let me try, Johnathan!" Dustin steps in front of him impatiently
Dustin presses the button with no luck for him either "Son of a bitch! You know what." He sighs in frustration and clicks the button a few more times
"Any day now." Max sighs
"I got it, just one more second."
"You've been saying that for 5 minutes."
[buzzzz]
a buzzer goes off as Dustin forcefully slams his finger onto the button one more time
"Hey, I got it!" Dustin jumps excitedly "I got it! Easy peasy."
we laugh at Dustin expanse as the gate slowly falls open
"Okay, you guys wait here." Nancy tells as as she grabs Johnathan sleeve. They rush through the gate.
"Where they going?" Steve ask to no one. His face set to a glum expression.
"Wouldn't you like to know" Dustin teases "Gonna let Byers steal your girl? If you really like her Steve you gotta fight, showing up to her doorstep with whimsy flowers isn't gonna cut it."
"Yeah, Henderson of course you would know. Steve says lazily swing his bat or would you?" He looks between me and max with low eyes before looking back at Dustin.
"Oww!" Steve yells a rock fly's his way from Dustin direction.
-------
"Guys!" max yells breaking the awkward silence thats been created between the four of us. We look toward the gate. Screeching tires are heard from a near distance. A deafening horn and blinding headlights come our way as two cars speed through the gate.
"move!" Steve yells we jump away from the entrance. The first car continues past us, the second car stops abruptly next to us It's the Hawkins police truck and chief hopper yells from the diver seat. "lets go!"
I not sure why hoppers here or why hes yelling at us to get in his truck i dont say anything as
We smoosh into the backseat, Steve takes the front. "What happen in there?" I'm the first to ask
"the creatures they-" hopper starts i look at him through rear view mirror siting at a perfect angle for hoppers sight. The night is glum, water rolls down face I sure if its tears or sweat. His voice is damper than usual but his neck shines even in the dark night. Maybe a little bit of both.
"the demogragons?"
"-yeah, they got bob" His damp voice now has gone dry like a towel put into the dryer. It was definitely sweaty.
no one says anything else for the rest of the ride. We sat in silence the wind whistles through Dustin's window as we make our way to the Byers house.
