"It's gonna start pouring soon." Max spoke up, a little annoyed. "We should be at the mall or, like, watching a movie or something." She said as the girls got closer to her house, the sky thundering.

"Breakfast club?" Skyler added, knowing what movie she specifically was talking about.

"Exactly!"

"Again, Red?"

"It's not my fault's the best movie ever created." She shrugged.

"You don't believe us?" El said, a little hurt.

"I believe you guys saw some super weird stuff, totally, but- you said Mike has sensed you in there before, right?"

El nodded.

"So maybe it was just like that. Maybe Billy just...sensed you somehow?"

Skyler lightly sighed, shaking her head.

"But the screams." El added.

"Yeah, I know, but here's the thing. When Billy is alone with a girl- they make, like, really crazy noises."

"They scream?"

"Yeah, but, like....happy screams."

"Oh- gross Max!" Sky covered her ears. "I don't think we should be telling her that."

"Happy screams? What is happy screams?"

"It's like." She looked at her girlfriend, not knowing what to say. This was a very awkward situation. However Max just sighed. "It's like....I'm just gonna lend you my mom's Cosmo."

"Yeah- that'd probably be best." Sky said, giving up.

They finally made it to the redheads house, feeling the tension build up.

"His car's not here. You really wanna do this?"

"Positive." Skyler said, while Eleven nodded in response.

Reluctantly they went inside, walking through the living room and into Billy's room, Max slowly opening the door. All of the girls were mentally preparing themselves for anything they might see.

"Why do I get the feeling we're gonna find all kinds of wrong here?" Maxine spoke up.

"Probably cause we are." Sky added.

The room was about as Skyler expected it to be. There was clothes scattered everywhere along with gym gear, the radio was blasting some random heavy metal song, cigarette butts where literally everywhere, and not to mention it smelt like sweat. It was almost like Billy didn't know what cleaning up was. His room was a complete mess.

Max walked over to the nightstand, opening the top drawer, seeing some not so PG-13 magazines.

"Ugh! Gag me with a spoon!" She quickly closed the drawer, wanting to find bleach to cleanse her eyes.

"Yeah, I don't think there's gonna be anything in here. Let's go check the bathroom."

El turned on the lights, walking in, the two girls behind her. However, something caught her eye, the bathtub was filled with water, ice water.

"He likes it cold." Sky mumbled, and El heard her, only worrying her even more.

"Max?" El spoke up.

"Ice, it's just ice. Probably for his muscles or something. He works out like a maniac."

"Max." Sky lightly tugged on Max's shirt. "Look." She pointed at the cabinet under the sink.

There was blood on the handle.
