"Well kid, your house is officially a crime scene." Hopper sighed. "And I know it was no one downstairs because I was there, but what about you too?" Hopper asked. "Did either of you leave the room, even for a second?"

Will and Mike looked at each other before shaking their heads in response.

"Well, Mike you can't stay here today." Hopper said.

"Well where am I supposed to go?" Mike asked quietly.

"You can stay at my place, I'm sure my mom wouldn't mind." Will shrugged. Mike nodded in response.

"Well I have to go question everyone else. Though I'm their witness," Hopper sighed mid-sentence, "it's my job." Then Hopper walked off.

They had already searched the house and found nothing except for Chrissys body.

Mike looked at Will. Will looked back.

Mike gave that 'you ready?' look. Will nodded. Mike got some stuff from his house, put it in his car and drove to Wills house, with Will of course.

———

Everyone, including El, Lucas, Jason, Dustin, Max, Steve, Robin and Eddie were all at Wills house discussing.

"So we all want to know who the killer is right?" Will asked. Everyone nodded.

"Well we seem to be the targets, so if we're all here, they might show up." Mike said. "Let's split up. Every duo gets a Walkie-Talkie, if someone gets a call from the killer just notify us. You can pick the person you're with."

Eddie and Jason went together, Steve and Dustin, Robin and Lucas, Max and El, and Mike and Will. Mike have each duo a Walkie-Talkie.

"They are all ok the same channel already. Remember to notify us if you see the killer and/or get a call from them. And tell us you're location." Will said before they all split up.

Jason and Eddie went to the tiny basement of the Byers house.

Jason side eyed Eddie. "I don't trust you."

"I was with you when Chrissy died." Eddie rolled his eyes.

Jason shrugged. "Fine, but I'm still staying away from you." Jason walked to the other side of the basement. Then something appeared behind Eddie.

Jason's eyes widened. "EDDIE BEHIND YOU!" He shouted. Eddie looked behind him.

Eddie kicked the killer in his private area and he fell to the ground.

"THE KILLER IS IN THE BASEMENT, I REPEAT THE KILLER IS IN THE BASEMENT!" Jason yelled into the Walkie-Talkie. Then Eddie ran over to him because the killer stood back up. That's when everyone entered the room.

The killer then ran away.

Then they heard noise coming from the radio.

"Max is the killer!" They heard Mike yell. The teens/adults looked around and noticed Max missing.

Then Max entered.

"I'm sorry im late, I was taking a piss." She said as she ran in.

Everyone looked at her with eyes of shock.

"What?"

"Get the fuck away from us!" Jason yelled as he pushed everyone away from her.

That's when Mike entered.

"GET AWAY FROM THEM!" He yelled.

Max looked at him confused.

Then she looked back.

"I don't know what's happening but I promise I am not the killer." Max cried as she walked towards the group. They all walked as far back as they could.

"Oh shut up!"
