The kids, Margo and Steve all slipped down the hole in the ground. "Holy shit." Both Margo and Steve whispered in unison.

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's this way." Mike called as he inspected a drawn map.

"You're pretty sure, or you're certain?" Dustin asked.

"I'm 100% sure. Just follow me and you'll know." Mike yelled back.

"Whoa, Whoa, Whoa. Hey, hey, hey, hey. I don't think so." Steve stopped him. "Any of you little shits die down here, me and Margo are getting the blame. Got it, dipshit?"

"What if we die? Who gets that blame?" Margo raised her brows.

"Let's hope we don't have to find out that answer." Steve said as he grabbed Margo's hand pulling her to the front. "From here on out, we're leading the way. Come on, let's go."

"Hey, I didn't agree to this Steve." Margo argued, though Steve ignored her protests and continued to pull her forward.

"God." Lucas said looking around in disgust.

"What is this place?" Max asked.

"Guys, come on. Keep moving." Steve said as they continued walking, not even bothering to let go of Margo's hand.

They were suddenly stopped by Dustin's familiar scream. All five of their heads snapped round and they quickly ran back, Margo moving the fastest as she finally let go of Steve's hand. "Dustin!" Margo yelled as did the others.

"What happened? What happened?" Steve asked the boy.

"It's in my mouth! Some got on my mouth! Shit!" Dustin continued screaming.

The five stared down at him as he continued coughing. "I'm okay." He said looking up.

"You fucking idiot, you scared the shit out of me." Margo sighed.

"Very funny man."

"Nice. Very nice."

"Hang on. Wait, wait." Dustin scrambled to get up and follow the others.

They continued walking for a while again with Margo and Steve walking in front, until they came to a stop. "Alright wheeler, I think we found your hub." Steve said.

They stood shining their flashlights around an area with was surrounded by tunnels. "Let's drench it." Mike said.

All of them got straight to work by pouring cans of gasoline across the floor and Steve sprayed it over the walls.

"Alright, you guys ready?" Steve asked as the six crouched together at the start of one tunnel.

"Yeah." Mike nodded. Margo reached into her pocket pulling out a lighter, she placed it in Steve's hand both their hands lingering on the others a little too long.
