Cheif Hopper walked into the bar and made his way to a booth, and sat down. 

"Cheif-O!" Dr. Sam Owens aid.He was the the head scientist at Hawkins Lab when they started running tests on Will, you know.

"How's the leg?" Hopper asked. Dr. Owens had his leg chomped on by one of the demo-dogs at the lab which led to serious injury.

"Better, but I'm pretty sure my football career is over." The 2 men chuckle. 

"Hey, I got you a little something.." Dr. Owen's says, he reaches in the bag he had with him and gives Hopper an envelope. 

Hopper was confused but he didn't ask any questions and opens the envelope and peaks inside. It was adoption papers got Eleven, or Jane Hopper.

"Congratulations, Pops.." Owen's said.

"I thought.."

"Sometimes I impress even myself. Still, I'd let things cool off for awhile if I were you.." 

Hopper sniffles, "How long is awhile?" 

"If you wanna be safe, I give it a year.." the Doctor said.

"A year?"

"What about one night out?" Hopper asks. 

"One night? What is so special about one night?"

Chapter 16 (Tatums POV)

    THE SNOW BALL 

"Son of a bitch! Son of a bitch.." Dustin yells.

"Where did you last see it?" My mother asks.

"Right here. Where I put it." Dustin says, pointing to a spot on the kitchen counter.

"What is in there? That's so important anyway?" I ask.

"I got it!" Dustin says. He holds a brown paper bag, he rushes to his room with joy. I had no idea was he was keeping in the bag but whatever. 

I plop onto the sofa next to my mother and sigh.

"So you and this Steve guy are dating?" My mother says breaking the silence between us.
