Hawkins had turned to a ghost town within the span of three short days.
Less than seventy-two hours after the gates ripped open across town, black smoke was still billowing through the sky. The government had already set up a base camp, telling everyone that what happened was an earthquake: a seven-point-four magnitude earthquake, just to sell it home.
The death toll had allied to twenty-two, but only a few knew it was really twenty-three.
Eddie Munson had died that fateful night. The demobats found their way inside of the trailer, close to Dustin and the Gate to the real world.
Eddie didn't run this time. He sacrifices himself for Dustin's life.
Eddie Munson died a hero, a savior. And only a few people would ever know.
Hundreds of people had been injured, filling every Roane County hospital there was. People were missing, and their families could only assume the worst. No one was safe anymore.
Currently, Steve, Dustin and Nancy sorted through boxes to take to the highschool, loading Steve's car up with things to take. The city had canceled school and repurposed it as a shelter until further notice for people who had lost their homes in the fallout.
"Hey, Nance!" Karen, Nancy's mom, said, walking to her with a box of toys. "I found some more of your old stuff in the attic."
Nancy took one look inside the box, gasping at one of the stuffed animals inside. "Mr. Rabbit."
"It's okay if you wanna save him, you know."
She put the stuffed animal back inside the box, taking it in her hands. "No, he'll be more loved in a new home."
As the kids continued loading the car, Karen took a step closer to them. "Someone order a pizza?"
"Pizza?" Dustin asked.
Everyone turned to look at the pizza van at the end of the driveway, which honked at them before parking. From inside the van stepped Jonathan, Will, Mike, Argyle, and Eleven, who all should have been in California.
Mike called out his mother as they came together in a deep hug, Jonathan and Nancy held each other close, and Mike and El both hugged Dustin tight.
"My sister," El said, smiling faintly as she looked around to see Steve standing alone. "Judy, where is she?"
"We haven't seen her since yesterday at the hospital," Steve said, coming to stand next to Dustin, scratching the back of his neck. He'd never felt so guilty in his life.
"Hospital?" Will questioned, looking between Dustin and Steve. They both wore defeated and sad looks on their face.
"Oh God," Dustin sighed in regret. "You don't know."
El looked to Will, scared of where Judy might be and what happened at the hospital.
It hadn't even been twenty-four hours prior when Steve, Judy, Dustin, Lucas and Erica stood around Max as she lay lifeless in a hospital bed.
