A/n Sorry there's not loads of Max and Ziggy in this chapter but it will be worth the wait hehe😁

"Holy fuck, you're going to get us arrested!" Steve shouted as Ziggy drove across a junction at 30mph without looking, "all the cops were going this was anyway." She looked at him and smirked, "eyes on the road!" He shouted again.

"Oh my god Steve, you're giving me a headache." Robin said from the back seat, "I'm giving you a headache?!" He turned around in his seat to face her, "well you'll have a permanent headache when Ziggy crashes this car and you're bleeding out from your head on the side of the road!"

"It's never that serious Steve." Dustin said in a calm voice, shaking his head at him, "I think she's a better driver than you." Nancy grinned, "you're all idiots." He huffed, "cheer up buttercup-" Ziggy's eyes quickly averted onto the road in front where loads of cop cars were blocking it, it was on a road right near the trailer park, "oh shit-"

There were loads of news crew and members of the public panicking and taking pictures of the scene, "oh my god- is that Nancy?!" Robin leaned between the cap of the driver and passenger seat, "yeah." The rest of them answered in unison, "let's go." Ziggy got out of the car as everyone followed behind her.

Nancy was being interviewed by the cops and hadn't even noticed them, "what the fuck." Dustin pointed to the white sheet behind, "is that a body?!" Max questioned as Nancy finally looked up. She stared at the teens in relief but looked as if she was holding back tears.

"So you're saying that this thing that killed Fred and Chrissy it's...from the upside down?" Nancy questioned, they were now all sat on a bench just outside Max's trailer, "if the shoe fits." Steve replied, "that's our working theory, now whether or not he's doing the bidding with the mindflare, we don't know." Dustin explained, "all we know is that this is different, something new." Max added, "doesn't make sense." Nancy stated, "it's only a theory." Dustin returned.

"No, Fred and Chrissy don't make sense, I mean, why them?"

"Maybe they were just in the wrong place? They were both at the game." He carried on,

"And the trailer park." Ziggy chimed in as Steve looked around, "we're at the trailer park...uh, should we maybe not be here?" They were all looking around now, "there is something about this place, Fred started acting weird the second we got here."

"Acting weird as in?" Robin asked, "scared...on edge, upset."

"Ziggy said Chrissy was upset too." Max said, "yeah but not here, she was crying in the bathroom, at school."

"Serial killers stalk their prey before they strike, right? So maybe Fred and Chrissy saw this Vecman." Robin started, "Vecna." Dustin corrected her, "I don't know about you guys but if I saw some freaky wizard monster, I would mention it to someone." Steve furrowed his eyebrows.

"I mean, maybe they did." Ziggy replied, "Chrissy told me she was seeing Ms. Kelley, if you saw a monster,  you wouldn't go to the police, they'd never believe you but you might go to your-"

"Your shrink." Robin finished the sentence for her.

The teens all got up from the bench and went to get in Steve's car but Nancy started walking away, hoping not to get noticed, "whoa, whoa Nance." Steve said but she kept walking, getting everyone else's attention, "Nance!" He repeated and caught up with her as she stopped and turned around, "Nance where are you going?"
