CHAPTER SIX.
1x06: The Monster
After yesterday's horrible events, Sam forced everyone to retreat back home. She told Mike and Dustin they would all reconvene at Mike's tomorrow morning—which was now today.
"I'm guessing Eleven never came back," Sam said, announcing her presence to Mike.
He had been kicking down the fort Eleven was staying in, destroying it with frustrated anger he couldn't contain. At the sound of Sam's voice, he startled around in fear. Then he accounted for Sam's analyzing features.
"Shit, Sam! What the hell?!" Mike hissed, trying to recover from his instinctive responses of his panic.
Sam was unapologetic, shrugging her backpack off and setting it onto one of the basement's sofas. She took a look around the place as if she were an art connoisseur, ignoring Mike's annoyed glare.
"Dustin's not here yet?" Sam inspected, making a really obvious conclusion.
Mike scoffed. "You could knock, you know? I thought my mom was coming down here! She could've found..."
"Nothing?" Sam finished with a raised eyebrow. She gestured around the empty room and the now-decimated fort. "Because it looks like there's nothing down here."
"Now is not the time to try and be funny," Mike snapped. He looked like he was trying not to burst at the seams. Her eyes widened when he whipped around to start pacing.
"Someone's still cranky," she muttered under her breath.
"I heard that," Mike said, scowling.
She shrugged innocently. "Heard what?"
They heard a knock upstairs from the basement door, and Sam really did look like a hypocrite, because she flinched in fear of who was coming down here. Then she remembered her own words and calmed down.
"Dustin?" Mike called.
"Yeah, it's me!"
"Alright, you can come down!"
The basement door creaked as it was shifted open. With the sound of thumping marches down the stairs, Sam slowly saw Dustin come into view.
"Holy shit, I can't stop—oh, hey, Sam!" Dustin's frenzied face switched to beam at Sam.
Sam waved. "Hi!"
Dustin nodded, faced Mike again, then, "Holy shit, I can't stop thinking about what happened at the junkyard! I mean, I got no sleep, dude!"
