ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ 7: ᴛʜᴇ ʙᴀᴛʜᴛᴜʙ

Dustin and Y/n sat in Mike's basement, Mike and El cleaning El's face in the bathroom.

Dustin looked at Y/n's bag on the floor "Why do you have a bag?"

"My house was bugged." Y/n answered.

"What?" Dustin asked in an unbelieving tone.

Y/n looked at him "I'll explain later."

Dustin looked at Y/n "Why werent you at Will's funeral? We thought you died or something."

Y/n was about to tell him but remembered what her dad said "I was helping my dad with something."

Dustin looked at her "Oh, well, while you've been gone, we've discovered alot of things. Like the thing that took Will, it was the Demogorgon."

"What?" Y/n said, shocked.

Dustin nods "Yeah, and he's stuck in a place called the Upside-down, which is basically Hawkins versions of the Vale of Shadows."

"Really?" Y/n said with a frown.

"We even spoke to him!" Dustin then says "And we've been looking for a gate to get there."

Y/n frowned and looked at him "Gate? What gat--?"

She was cut off by the walkie-talkie going off "This--Lucas. B-- Men-- Omin--!"

Dustin ran to the bathroom and says "Guys, it's Lucas. We think he's in trouble." Dustin ran back "You know how he said he was looking fro the gate?"

"Yeah?" Mike frowned.

"What if he found it?" Dustin said as Y/n picked up the walkie-talkie.

Mike took the walkie off of her as they heard Lucas's voice shouting, but couldn't make out what he was saying.

"What's he saying?" Mike asked.

"I don't know. He's way out of range." Y/n told him.

"Son of a bitch." Was all they heard.

Mike then spoke "Lucas, if you can hear us, slow down. We can't understand you."

They heard little words here and there and Dustin picked up something "Mad hen. Does that mean anything to you? Like a code word or something?"

"The bad men are coming."

Mike listened carefully and realised "Bad men. Bad men!"

Mike quickly put down the walkie-talkie and looked at El "Stay here."

We he was about to go upstairs, the phone rang. He quickly picked it up "What?" He answered aggressively "Nancy's not he-- Oh, its for you."

He hands the phone to Y/n and him and Dustin sprint up the stairs "Hello?"

"Y/n, hey. It's Steve."

"What do you want? I'm a bit busy." Y/n answered as her and El looked at each other, worried.

"Well, I've noticed that you're a bit distant recently, and i wanted to check up on you. I also haven't been able to reach your phone."
