I was sitting next to Max at a table while Mike explained to Hopper what was happening.

"The Mind Flayer it built this this monster in Hawkins." Mike said.

"To stop me and El, to kill them and pave a way into our world." I added.

"And it almost did. That was just a tiny piece of it." Nancy said.

"How big is this thing?" Hopper asked.

"It's big. Thirty feet at least." Johnathan said.

"Yeah, it sorta destroyed your cabin. Sorry." Lucas said and Hopper sighed.

"Ok so just to be clear, this...this big fleshy spider thing that hurt my sister and El is some gigantic weapon?" Steve asked.

"Yes." Nancy said.

"But instead of like screws and metal, the Mind Flayer made it's weapon with melted people?" Steve questioned.

"Yes exactly." Nancy confirmed.

"Yea ok I'm just making sure." Steve said nodding his head.

"Are we sure this thing is still out there. Still alive?" Joyce asked.

"El and Lola beat the shit out of it but yeah, it's still alive." Max said holding my hand.

"But if we close the gate again..." Will said.

"We cut the brain from the body." Max finished for him.

"Kill it." Lucas said.

"Theoretically." I corrected.

"YooHoo!" Some yelled from behind us.

I turned my head to see a partly bald headed man in a white t-shirt and shorts. He was waving paper in his hands like a mad man. I furrowed my eyebrows confused on who this guy was. He walked towards us slamming the papers in his hands on a table.

"Who is this guy-?" I mumbled pointing at the man.

Max just shrugged her shoulders. My gaze fixed on Eleven, she started to walk towards on of the trash cans digging through it.

"I'm sorry who are you?" The guy said pulling me back into the conversation.

"Erica Sinclair who are you?" Erica sassed.

"Murray....Bauman." Murray said.

"Listen Mr. Bunman I'm not trying to tell you how to do things. But I've been down in that shit hole for 24 hours, and with all due respect you do what this man tells you're all gonna die." Erica said.

"I'm sorry why is this four-year-old speaking to me?" Murray asked.

"Ooo wrong move." I whispered.

"I'm ten you bald headed bastard!" Erica yelled at the man.

"Erica!" Lucas said.

"Just the facts." Me and Erica said at the same time.

Murray fixed his gaze on me with raised eyebrows and I raised my hands up.

"Stop." Max scolded me smacking my shoulder.

"She's right you're all gonna die. But you don't have to excuse me, sorry may I?" Dustin said.

"Please." Murray said faking a smile.

Hopper went to grab one of the guns from the dead Russians.

"Well that's settles it he's gonna die. They're gonna die." Erica said.

"Yep most likely." Dustin agreed.

"You guys survived." Lucas said.

"Barely, we could've really used you guys down there." Dustin said.
