Mike hadn't gotten a drop of sleep, he stayed up all night texting the party or either going through Wills recent text to see if he was going to have a sleepover with anyone or something like that.

But Will wasn't at school, he wouldn't miss school unless he was sick and Will wasn't sick. Mike texted the party again.

After that Mike closed his phone and put his shoes on. He sent his location to the group chat and grabbed a sweater and left his house, he wasn't supposed to leave Holly at home alone but he didn't want to bring her.

He gave her some candy and told her not to tell their parents, she promised and went back to coloring on the table while eating her candy.

Mike left the house and started walking to places he thought Will Might've went, he met up with El at an abandoned park Will used to go to, he wasn't there.

"Where do you think-" El started, she cut herself off when she looked over and saw the Mike was sitting on a metal platform with his hands over his eyes.

"What's wrong?" El questioned, sitting down next to him after wiping away some tree branches.

"What if we can't fucking find him and what if the killers got to him?" Mike began to ramble on about the things that could happen if they didn't find his boyfriend.

El moved his hands away from his face. "We're gonna find him, Mike." El tried, Mike wasn't crying, El knew he wasn't gonna start crying in front of her.

"And if we don't?" Mike looked over to her, he looked sad to El.

"We Will find him. Don't worry." El pat his back and got up, pulling him up with him. "Now let's find Max and keep looking because sitting in an abandoned park isn't helping."

Mike sighed and they both started walking, Max said she was gonna be waiting at the arcade, so that's were they went to get her.

When they got to the arcade the two saw the redhead girl. She was leaning on the locked door. She spotted them and went over to them.

"Okay, so the arcade isn't open, neither is that supermarket. So he can't be there." Max stated, she pointed to the chain and lock on the door handles.

"Okay, what's the next place on the list then?" El turned over to Mike who was on his phone, already looking through the list of places they've went to and checking them off.

"Uhh, Starcourt. There's a possibility he might be there." Mike muttered and stuffed his phone back into his pocket again and turned to see how far the mall was, he could see the bright lights so it wasn't very far.
