"Whoa, whoa! Take it easy Mayfield! This isn't the Nascar!" exclaimed a slightly scared Jay as Max pressed the gas pedal and took a very sharp turn at high speed, Jay's heart was beating madly as she did, Nancy's car behind them.

Max chuckled softly and gripped the steering wheel a bit tighter, "Relax, I am, uh... Certified pilot." she reassured as she continued speeding, much to Jay's dislike, from the stereo of the, as everyone probably expected, 'Running Up That Hill'.

"Slow down, Maxine!!"

After a few minutes on the road, they finally arrived where Eddie and Olivia were supposed to be hiding, only to find out it was surrounded by police cars, interviewers and more people, the two stepped outside of the car and reunited with the others, now everyone walked closer to the scene.

"The Roane County like received a call little after midnight... Reporting a homicide here on the lake. Officer Callahan here and myself arrived first on the scene. We made our way to the shore of Lover's Lake, about ten yards from that house you see behind me. It was there that we found the victim, an 18-year-old from Hawkins High, Patrick Mckinney. His limbs... His body, it was disfigured... And we have also identified a person of interest. Eddie Munson, suspected of these two murders and the possible abduction of Olivia Cunningham."

Announced the Officer Powell, Jay's eyes momentary drifted towards Lucas who had a slight sad expression.

"This is not good. Really not good." whispered Steve as he shook his head in disbelief.

"We need to find them, let's go." Jay said and just as in cue, the walkie-talkie of Dustin's started sounding.

"Dustin, can you hear me? Maldonado? Wheeler?" said the voice of Eddie, everyone started to walk back to cars as Dustin spoke.

"Eddie. Holy shit. Are you okay?"

"Nah, man... Pretty-pretty goddamn far from okay."

"Where is he?"

"Where are you?"

"Skull Rock. Do you know it?" asked Eddie, Max and Jay shared a small glance, how wouldn't they know? It was another place to make out without being bothered by his parents.

"Uh, yeah. That's near Cornwallis and-"

"Garrett."

Replied Max, Jay and Steve at the same time, the older teen glanced at the younger teens with a disbelief look before shaking his head.

"Come on." said Jay as he, Max and Steve started walking towards the woods while everyone followed behind.
