Dustin and I were back on the mall roof the following day. We were checking out the men from last night.

"More stuff." I noticed.

"Yeah." Dustin nodded, looking through the binoculars.

"You know, you don't need those." I motioned to the item.

"But...I feel like a spy...on a mission." Dustin pouted.

"For once, I would like a normal experience. First Will and Barb go missing, we meet a child with powers and find a Demogorgon from another dimension. Then you find a slug that turns into a baby Demogorgon and eats our cat and now...Russians? Seriously?" I groaned.

"Yeah...do you think if I write a book people would believe me?" Dustin questioned.

I gave him a look.

"Stupid...right." Dustin nodded.

We walked back to Scoops to inform Robin and Steve on what we found out.

"That keycard opens the door, but unfortunately, the Russian with this keycard also has a massive gun." Dustin explained.

"Whatever is in that room, those boxes, they're protecting it with their lives." I added.

"But there's gotta be a way in." Robin spoke up.

"Well, you know, I could just take him out." Steve spoke seriously while leaning on the table.

"Take who out?" Robin questioned.

"The Russian guard." Steve glanced at me.

I furrowed my eyebrows. "You?"

"What?" Steve looked offended. "I sneak up behind him, I knock him out and I take his keycard. It's easy."

"Did you not hear the part about the massive gun?" Dustin questioned.

"Yes, Dustin, I did." Steve nodded. "And that's why I would be sneaking."

"Well, please, tell me this...and be honest, have you ever actually...won a fight?" Dustin asked.

Steve fell silent and we all waited for his answer.

I already knew it.

"Okay, that was one time-" Steve began.

"Twice. Jonathan. Year prior?" Dustin corrected.

"I was there. Man, you got your ass kicked. Do I count, too...because I slapped you?" I asked.

"You slapped him?" Robin laughed.

"Why are you laughing? It's not funny!" Steve glared at her before looking back at Dustin and I. "Anyway, that doesn't count. Neither do the times before."

"Why wouldn't they count? Because it looks like they all beat the shit out of you." Dustin argued.

"Yeah, they...sorry, we did." I agreed.

"I would honestly feel better sending Athena after the Russian." Dustin pointed at me.

"Thanks, Dusty." I smiled.

"Really? Your short sister over me?" Steve stood.

"You jealous, Stevie?" I raised my eyebrows.

"I mean, she did finish off the Billy fight." Dustin shrugged.

"I saved her in that fight!" Steve continued to argue.

"That just might work." Robin muttered and stood. She ran around us and went over to the counter before grabbing money from the tip jar.
