TW: Mentions of Needles and Abuse,
There is noise inside coming from the kitchen. Dustin is throwing things off the Byers' fridge. Steve stood there, holding a Demo dog, wrapped tightly with a blanket. While Madison stood there, confused.
"Is this really necessary?" He muttered
Dustin stood there intrigued
"Yeah, it is. You both should know that this is a groundbreaking scientific discovery. And we can't just bury it like some common mammal? Okay? It's not a dog."
Madison stretches her arm out frustrated, her patience running thin. "But it's a Demo- Dog, so IT IS A DOG."
You know what? All right, all right, all right. You're explaining all this to Mrs. Byers, all right." Steve gestured to the Demodog in his arm
Madison holds onto the Demodog tail as Steve tries to shove it in the fridge. Dustin just stood there.
"What am I supposed to do?"
"Get the door, man."
"All right, I got the door."
Dustin held onto the door as Steve successfully got it in. Madison stepped away from the fridge, wiping her hands on her jeans. Steve put his hand on Dustin's hat, playfully.
"You weren't in there. Okay, Lucas, that lab is swarming with hundreds of those dogs." Mike said, his voice is low
"Demo Dogs" Dustin corrected from the kitchen
" The Chief will take care of her," Lucas said, his voice quivering a bit
" Like she needs protection" Max muttered
"Listen, dude, a coach calls it a play-in game, bottom line you execute it. Alright." Steve started, trying to keep his cool
"Well, first of all, this isn't some type of stupid sports game. And second, we're not even in the game. We're all on the bench, " Mike snapped.
"So, my point is... Steve stayed silent for a minute trying to think of what to say next.
"Right yeah, we're all on the bench. So uh, there's nothing that we could do". He proceeds to throw a rag on his shoulder.
"That's not entirely true."
The rest of the group turned to Dustin.
I mean these Demo- Dogs, they have a hive mind. When they ran away from the bus, they were all called away somewhere."
" So, If we get their attention." Lucas started
"Maybe we can draw them away from the lab," Max suggested
"Clear a path towards the gate" Mike repeated
How will we do all that?" Madison asked, uncertain
