Eleven knocked on the door, but it wasn't a normal knock it was like a secret knock.

Max crossed her arms, hugging herself, shivering because of the rain. The door slowly opened. It was the chief. "you're father is the Chief?" Taylor looked over with a wide and shocked expression. "yes. dofus. He's standing right there" Max turned to face Taylor.

He pursed his lips together, sighing and avoided eye contact with Jim Hopper. "who are you?" Hopper asked. "uh.. Taylor. Taylor Simien" He said. Taylor remembers hopper, he was the one who believed his mother first that he was lost. The other two were annoyed that she was there with a twelve year old.

"Simien?" Hopper asked, as if he remembered him. The chief stared at the boy, narrowing his eyes and examining him. "come in.. Hey max" He said, walking away from the door, itching his scruffy beard.

Taylor hummed to himself, walking in after El and Max. "do I know you?" Hopper asked, turning to face him one and one. It was sort of intimidating.

"uh.. yes. sir. My mom brought me to the station like.. four years ago" Taylor said. He knew hopper knew but he didn't know how he would react, still. He was intimidated by the chief.

Hopper looked at him, "are you Cynthia's son?" He asked. "uh.. yeah" He nodded, "sort of"

Jim Hopper, smiled. "you were lost, right? And no one believed her"

Taylor nodded, "yeah.. yeah, that's me" He said. There was a long silence. It looked like Hopper was putting two and two together that he was like his daughter.

"Hop. He's like me" Eleven simply stated. "yeah?" He said, slowly turning her head, "in what way?" Hop asked. "He was from the lab" She said like it was casual. Hopper nodded, "oh." He whispered. Max just stood there, leaning against the wall in awkwardness.

"yeah, but he's not like.. El. Y'know, not as strong" Max said. It sounded like it was a good thing when she said. Taylor's face was saddened as his eyes wondered the place awkwardly. "You never know" Hopper took the pot off the stove.

"So.. when you went to the station, with Cynthia. You escaped when El escaped?" Taylor nodded. "how old were you?"

"Twelve. I think. I'm fourteen now" Taylor thought, looking at the chief. "mmh.." Hopper hummed, "alright. You guys could go in the bedroom. Dinner is almost ready...three inches, still, El" He said. "Yes'" Eleven said.

When they entered the room, closing it slightly, Hopper immediately went to the living room of the small cabin. He kneeled onto the ground, opening the trap door. He pulled out the box, noticing it was unlocked. He forgot that Eleven had looked through this before, but maybe not far enough.

He flipped through the files until he got to the family file that included her mother she had just seen not too long ago, her father and brother.

Hopper flipped to the siblings tab, pulling out the file. He read the two pages of the files, it included the birth certificate and a lab certificate. It included what experiments will be done at first and his number and other information like what room what floor, ect.
