"Good morning Eleven."

"Morning Eleven."

"Unit is meeting in room B."

Eleven nods her head, her going to make her way down the large hallway, her being in the base of the GuardRunners, her going to make her way inside of the room where all of the unit is, her seeing Mike Dustin and Suzie as well as the others standing around.

"Hey." Mike smiles at her.

"Hey." Eleven says back, her going to look around a little. "Where's Max?"

"Not sure, she normally isn't late." Suzie responds.

"Alright unit." Hopper, the commander says while he makes his way inside of the room, him looking around a little bit. "Where is Sinclair? And Mayfield? They are both on this unit."

All of the guards go to look around. "Not sure sir, we haven't seen them at all today." One of the guards mention.

All of them look towards the door when they head a knock on it. "Enter!" Hopper says.

A guard enters inside of the room, him going to close the door behind him. "Commander there is something that you should know."

"What the hell happened to your face?" Hopper questions, looking at his black eye and the bruises on his face.

"Well...." He trails off. "Last night...well really earlier this morning—"

"Get to the point!" Hopper yells.

"Lucas left." The guard mentions. "He didn't want to risk anyone."

"You let him leave?!" Hopper exclaims.

"Sir he wanted to and—"

"Which meant you opened the door!" Hopper points at him madly. "We are trying to find a cure!"

"He still didn't want to risk anything, he still wanted to be known for all of the good that he has done." The guard mentions. "I didn't want to take that away from him he wanted to leave sir."

Eleven's eyes widen, her going to quickly make her way out of the room, the others following her closely behind, all of them having the same train of thought as they begin to follow Eleven, all of them going to run towards Max's quarters.

Eleven quickly opens the door to her room, her going to look in her closet to see some of her clothes missing, some of her weapons missing as well.

"Guys...." Steve trails off, him looking at the nightstand to see Max's radio laying neatly on the nightstand with a note by it as well.

Eleven turns around, her going to brush in front of Steve and pick up the note. Her heart begins to beat more faster while she looks at it, her going to just slowly shake her head.

"Well?" Nancy questions with a stressed shrug, everyone else looking at Eleven.

Eleven slowly goes to turn to look at them, her looking down at the note before she looks back up at them. It now explains the bruises and wounds on the guards face, and why Max was so bothered the night before during the celebration.

"She went after him."

Our mission is to protect and save the innocent, I am doing my job.
