The group had showed up to the Holloway house less than thirty minutes later, and just like they had probably guessed, no one answered the door. So, the group did what they did best and got Eleven to unlock the door and they let themselves in.

"Tom? Heather?" Nancy shouts, getting no response.

"Jesus, it's freezing" Max mumbles, holding herself in her arms to give herself some kind of warmth.

"Here" Asher says, taking his jacket off, putting it over Max's shoulders "Can't have you dying of hypochondria."

"It's hypothermia. Hypochondria is an anxiety disorder" Max corrects Asher "But thanks."

"Hypochondria, hypothermia. It's the same thing" Asher says, shrugging his shoulders.

"No it's not" Max and Will say at the same time, making Asher roll his eyes as the group walks into the living room.

"Do you guys smell that?" Nancy asks the group.

"You mean the bleach?" Asher asks, making Nancy nod her head before following the smell around the corner, seeing chemicals covering the room.

"More chemicals" Nancy mentions, walking closer to the mess.

"You think they're guzzling this shit?" Jonathan asks.

"Yeah, either that or they just went on a hell of a cleaning spree" Nancy says with a shrug.

"But last year, Will didn't eat chemicals?" Max asks, making Asher give Will a suspicious look.

"Maybe he did" Asher says, looking at Will "Did you eat chemicals?"

"No" Will says, looking at the floor "This is something new."

"Mr Clarke, fifth grade. Posit" Mike says "What happens when you mix chemicals together?"

"You create a new substance" Lucas and Will both say at the same time.

"I think I missed that class" Asher mumbles to Eleven, making her nod her head in agreement.

"What if they're making something?" Mike asks, looking at Lucas.

"In themselves?" Max asks "I mean, come on, if you drink this crap, it'll kill you."

"Yeah, if your human" Lucas adds on.

"So the Mind Flayer is making them eat chemicals? How does that help him?" Asher asks "Is he just possessing people to make them eat chemicals and make them go bye bye?"

"We don't know why" Mike says to Asher with a sigh as Nancy starts to walk into the kitchen, making everyone start to follow "We know as much as you do. For once you're not the only confused one."

"Finally! I've been waiting for this day" Asher says to Lucas with a smile as the three follow the rest of the group through to the dining room which was also a mess.

"Blood" Nancy mentions, looking down at the carpet to see a blood stain "Yesterday, Tom had a bandage on his forehead" She says before picking up the wine bottle, which also has a blood stain on "He was attacked."

As Nancy started walking through the house, the rest of the group followed until they were out in the garage, where there was rope in the middle of the floor.

"They must have tied them" Jonathan mentions "They must have taken them somewhere."

"Mrs Driscoll. She kept saying... I have to go back. What if the flaying, it's taking place somewhere else?" Nancy asks "There must be a place where all of this started, right? A source."

"Somewhere he didn't want me to see" Eleven brings up.

"If we can find the source, maybe we can stop him" Nancy says "Or at least stop it from spreading or doing whatever the hell he's doing with those chemicals."

"How do we find it?" Eleven asks.

"Mrs Driscoll" Will mentions, making the group look at him "If she wants to go back so badly, why don't we let her?"
