It took them a while but eventually, they made it onto the shore, the two worked quickly and hide the boat in a bush before scanning the area.
"Where to now?" Eddie asked as there didn't seem to be anywhere good to hide. "If this is Lover's Lake then Skull Rock shouldn't be too far from here, barely anyone goes there so we should be safe." (Y/n) recommends making Eddie laugh.
"Yeah, safe enough, till two teens decide they wanna bone," Eddie says making his brother laugh given the history of the rock's location. "You got a point there, but until we find a better place that's where we're heading. Besides we still need to find a way to communicate with the others, since our walkie is somewhere at the bottom of the lake." (Y/n) adds as he starts walking into the forest, Eddie stayed silent for a bit before coming up with an idea.
"I think I might know where to get one." He says quickly running into the forest catching (Y/n) off guard. "Woah, hey wait up!" He shouts following close behind him, only for Eddie to eventually lead him to a construction sight nearby where they were able to snag a walkie-talkie from a worker who had gone into the portable bathroom. After the small detour, they finally made it to Skull Rock and hide under its arch.
"Alright, we should probably try and radio them again, you know in case they're looking for us." (Y/n) says as Eddie flips through the channels to find the one Dustin was using. "Dustin, can you hear me? Wheeler?" Eddie asked once he reached the correct one.
"Eddie. Holy shit. Are you guys okay? Where's (Y/n)?" Dustin's voice rang out from the walkie making (Y/n) sigh in relief. "Nah, man. We're pretty... pretty goddamn far from okay." He says before (Y/n) takes the walkie.
"What Eddie means to say is that we're still alive and not in jail. We're hiding out under Skull Rock, do you know the palace?" (Y/n) asked. "Uh, yeah. That's near Cornwallis and-" Dustin starts off before getting cut off by Steve.
"Garrett, yeah. I know where that is." Steve says heading back to his car with the rest in tow. "Hold tight. We're coming. We're coming." Dustin says before the silence takes over once again, the two just sat in silence as they took the time to process the events of last night all over again.
"You know this is starting to become an unhealthy pattern." (Y/n) jokes but only gets a confused look from Eddie. "You know... Witness something traumatic, run away, hide, sit in silence while we process, and repeat." (Y/n) explains but Eddie still doesn't answer.
"No.. Okay." (Y/n) mutters as he bit his lip going back to his own thoughts. "Hey, what if we prank them?" (Y/n) asked again after a while.
"Prank them?" Eddie asked raising an eyebrow slightly amused by the idea. "Yeah, I mean we are wanted for murder so we should be able to have some fun while our world comes tumbling down." (Y/n) says standing up and dusting off his pants.
"We can hide behind the rock and pop out when they get here." (Y/n) says earning a smile from Eddie who nods vigorously, quick to follow his brother over as they hunch down by the rock. "Hell yeah!"
