Robin and Nancy arrived to the school as Indiana spoke.
"A grandfather clock?" Nancy asks.
"It was so real. And then, when I got closer, suddenly I just... I woke up." Max explained."It was like she was in a trance or something. Exactly what Eddie said happened to Chrissy." Dustin raises his eyebrows.
They all returned to the office where Indiana handed Robin and Nancy the files.
"That's not even the bad part. Fred and Chrissy, they both came to Miss Kelley for help. Uh, they both were having headaches, bad headaches that wouldn't go away. And then... then the nightmares. Trouble sleeping. They'd wake up in a cold sweat. Then they started seeing things. Bad things. From their pasts. These visions, they just... they kept on getting worse and worse, until eventually... everything ended." Max explained.
Indiana looked up to see Steve's eyes glued to her.
"Vecna's curse." Indiana stated.
"Chrissy's headache started a week ago. Fred's, six days ago. I've been having them for five days." Max stated. Her eyes darted to Indiana waiting for an answer."Five days." Indiana nodded.
"I don't know how long we have. All I know is that, for Fred and Chrissy, they both died less than hours after their first vision. And we just saw that goddamn clock, so..."
"Looks like we're gonna die tomorrow." Indiana finished for the girl looking up at Steve's horrified expression.
A squeak came from the door making everyone turn their gaze to the door.
"Stay here." Steve stated. He grabbed a lamp and walked out of the door. Indiana followed after the boy.The sound of a door opening made everyone continue walking closer. Lucas appeared covered in sweat and looked exhausted. "Lucas?!" Indiana yelled.
"It's me!" He returned still out of breathe.
"Jesus, what's wrong with you? I could've taken you out with this lamp!" Steve shouts.
"I'm sorry!" He gasped.
"I was... I was biking for eight miles. Give me a second. Shit. We've got a code red."
"What?"
"Dustin. I've been with Jason, Patrick, and Andy, and they've gone totally off the rails. They're trying to capture Eddie, and they think you know where he is. You're in terrible danger.""All right. Yeah, that definitely sucks, but we've got bigger problems than Jason now." Dustin's eyes flicker between Indiana and Max.

Indiana to drive to the Wheeler's house. The seven packed into the basement where Nancy showed them what her and Robin found out at the library. It was a race against death for the two girls.
