You grabbed your backpack, which was on the table. Dustin shoved Steve and Robin in the back of one of the red car things. You drove while Dustin and Erica were stuck next to each other. Steve and Robin were in hysterical laughter. "What is wrong with them?" Erica asked as you made a sharp turn. "We were drugged," you answered. "Then why aren't you acting all crazy?" Dustin asked. "Because I," you grunted, "Speak my mind. I lie every now and again, but I don't pretend to be a completely different person." You arrived at the place you needed to be. Dustin had a key card. You dragged Steve and Robin into the elevator. Dustin used the key card to get the elevator moving.
You guys got out of the elevator. There were two Russian guys with guns facing in the other direction. You all, as quietly as possible, slipped into a door, which you knew, got into the mall. You guys ran down a hall to the movie theatre part of the mall. You all went to the there that was playing "Back to the Future." You sat with Steve and Robin, while Erica watched the movie, and Dustin went to find a way out of there. At one point, Steve and Robin started walking away, and you, not being able to stop them, followed them to the bathroom, where they threw up, and you coughed out a hell amount of blood. You had to sit there with them and babysit two people who were just slightly older than you. You were sitting with Robin in one stall, while Steve was in the other. "The ceiling stopped spinning for me," Robin stated, "You?" "Holy shit," Steve muttered, "It stopped. Think we puked it all up?" "Maybe. Ask me something," Robin said, "*In Russian accent* Interrogate me." "Okay," Steve chuckled, "Sure. When was the last time you...pissed your pants?" "Today," Robin answered. "What?" you asked. "When the Russian doctor took out the bone saw." "Oh, my God," Steve laughed. You chuckled a little. "My turn," Robin declared, "Have you...ever been in love?" "Yup," Steve said, "Nancy Wheeler. First Semester. Senior Year." He pretended to shoot his chest with a finger gun and imitated a gunshot. "She's such a priss," Robin said. "Turns out, not really," Steve sighed. "Are you still in love with Nancy?" Robin asked. "No," Steve shook his head. "Why not?" "I think it's 'cause I found someone who's a little better for me," Steve replied, "It's crazy. Ever since Dustin got home, he's been saying 'You gotta find your Suzie. You gotta find your Suzie.'" "Wait, who's Suzie?" Robin asked. "Dustin's girlfriend," Steve answered, "The point is, this girl, the one that I like, it's somebody that I didn't even talk to in school, and I don't even know why." Robin bit her lip. "Maybe It's cause Tommy H. would've made fun of me," Steve continued, "Or, I wouldn't be prom king. I mean, Blade's right, it's all just a bunch of bullshit, anyways. Because, when I think about it, I should've been hanging out with this girl the whole entire time. First of all, she's hilarious. She's so funny. I feel like this summer, I have laughed harder than I have laughed in a really long time. And she's smart. Way smarter than me. Y'know, she can crack top-secret Russian codes, and she's honestly unlike anyone I've ever met before." Robin huddled her legs to her chest and buried her face in her knees. "Robin?" Steve asked. Robin sighed deeply. Steve slid under his stall, over to hers. "What do you think about this girl?" Steve asked. "She sounds awesome," Robin shrugged. "And the guy?" Steve asked. "I think he's on drugs. And he's not thinking straight," Robin chuckled. "Really?" Steve asked, "Cause I think he's thinking a lot clearer than usual." "He's not," Robin stated, "Look...he doesn't even know this girl. And if he did know her, like, really know her, I don't think he'd even want to be her friend." "No, that's not true, no way is that true," Steve denied. "Listen to me, Steve, it's shocked me to my core, but I like you, I really like you. But I'm not like your other friends, and I'm not like Nancy Wheeler," Robin explained. "Robin, that's exactly why I like you," Steve said. "Remember what I said about Click's class?" Robin asked, "About me being jealous? And obsessed?" Steve nodded. "It isn't because I had a crush on you. It's because she wouldn't stop staring at you," Robin sighed. "Who?" Steve asked. "Tammy Thompson," Robin chuckled, "I wanted her to look at me. But, she couldn't pull her eyes away from you and your stupid hair. I didn't understand because you would get bagel crumbs all over the floor. And you asked dumb questions. And you were a douchebag. And you didn't even like her and...I would go home...and just scream into my pillow." "But, Tammy Thompson's a girl," Steve shook his head. "Holy shit, you're stupid," you sighed. Steve had a moment of realization. "Oh..." he mumbled. "Tammy Thompson, she's cute and all, but, I mean...she's a total dud." "She is not," Robin chuckled. "Yes she is, she wants to be, like, a singer. She wants to move, like, Nashville and shit," Steve laughed. "She sounds like a muppet," you laughed, "She's practically tone-deaf, have you heard her?" You all started laughing. Dustin busted through the door. "Okay, what the hell?!" he exclaimed. "They're older than me," you chuckled, "I can't take care of everything."
You got Steve and Robin out of the bathroom and you all blended with the crowd. Suddenly, you saw the two Russians from earlier ahead. "Abort," you whispered to Dustin. You all turned around and started running. You went down the escalator and ran to the nearest hiding spot. You were all behind a counter. You waited there for a while. All the Russians almost got you. Suddenly, a car started blaring and it was thrown at the Russians. You all came out of your hiding spots and looked at El, who was on the second floor, with Jonathan, Nancy, Lucas, Mike, and Will. They rand down to you, and they had a discussion. You weren't included in the discussion. Suddenly, El fell over. "El!" Mike exclaimed. They all rushed to her aid. "My leg!" she cried.
