Chapter 6

Chapter 6 (Steve's POV)

"This is a code red, I repeat. This is a code red. Does anyone copy it? We are innocent children, and we are trapped under Starcourt Mall. The Red Army has infiltrated Hawkins, and if we are found, they will torture and kill us." Dustin speaks into his walkie-talkie.

We have been trapped in this elevator for hours. Tatum and Dustin are trying to get someone to answer on top of the elevator, and Robin and Erica are down in the elevator.

"Hey! Gotta take it easy on that thing. You're gonna drain the battery." I say climbing up on top of the elevator. 

"The mall just opened." Tatum says. 

"So?" I say.

"So someone could be in range." Dustin says.

"What do you think Petey the mall cop is gonna rappel down here and save the day?" I snicker.

"Alright, why are you such a cranky pants after getting to spend the night with Tatum?" Dustin says playfully.

Tatum scoffs but smiles. She was sitting with her legs criss-crossed. Her elbows were on her knees, and she was resting her head on the palms.

"Dude, shut up. Stop being a creeper." I say. Tatum nods in agreement.

"What? I'm not doing anything." He says.

"You know, Dustin was trying to convince me to break up with you." I say.

"What? Dustin what the hell!" Tatum yells.

"I just mentioned it. I never said you had too." 

"Well, that plan must have really worked out because now we are trapped in an elevator together." I say.

"You guys were talking all night.." Dustin continues.

"Yeah, we were trying to figure out how to open the door while you guys were asleep." Tatum says.

"And after 8 hours were still exactly no where which is probably still a little bit of the reason why I'm feeling just a tad cranky." I say.

I walk over to the wall facing away from Dustin and Tatum, then start to unzip my pants.

"What are you doing?" Dustin says.

"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm taking a leak. Look away. Look away!" My voice echoes as I start to pee.

Dustin turns around, but Tatum doesn't move she just moves from the criss cross to laying flat on her back, staring up.

"Can you redirect your stream, please?" Robin shouts from the inside of the elevator.

I shifted to the side, but there was a weird banging from the inside of the elevator.

"Hey! Hey! Be careful! Careful! We dont even know what that is." Robin yells.

Erica was trying to open the weird tube with the green goo inside, "Exactly. It could be useful."

"Useful how?" Robin says, confused.

"We can survive down here a long time without food, but if the human body doesn't get water, it will die." Erica explains.

"I hate to break it to you, but this is not water." Robin scoffs.

"No... but it's a liquid, and if it comes down to me drinking that shit or dying of thirst, I drink." Eric's grabs the tube back an holds it close to her chest.
