STRAIGHT FROM LAST CHAPTER
*TW: PUKING*

Dustin, Rue, and Erica untied them and somehow dragged them through the Russian lab, bringing them to one of those carts they had stolen and throwing all three of them in the back and speeding off.

"Jesus! Slow down." Steve yelled at them as they were thrown around in the back of the cart.

"Yeah, what is this? Like the Indy 500?!" Robin added.

"It's the Indy 300." Aubrey corrected her.

"No, dingus, it's 500!" she yelled back.

"It's 300!" Aubrey argued.

"Let's say... a million." she replied and they all bursted out laughing.

"What is wrong with them?!" Erica asked Dustin and Rue as she drove.

"I don't know!" Dustin yelled.

"I might... have an idea." Rue looked between the two small children.

"Rue! Watch out!" Erica yelled as she crashed into some barrels, sending Aubrey, Robin, and Steve crashing in the back.

"Oh!" they all groaned, holding the back of their heads.

"You guys alright back there?" Dustin asked, they all just moaned in pain, "They're fine."

"I think my head is going to explode." Aubrey said as Rue, Dustin, and Erica pulled open the back door.

"Come on. We gotta go, now." Dustin told them. They weren't budging.

"Come on! Get out!" Erica yelled at them.

"Let's go!" Rue grabbed Aubrey's foot and pulled her.

"Ow! Watch it!"

"Jesus!" They pulled them all out of the back.

"We're coming!" Steve yelled as he fell out. They pulled them all back into the elevator.

"Here goes nothing." Dustin said as he grabbed the keycard Rue stole earlier.

"Whoo! Whoo!" Steve yelled as he pretended to surf on one of the dolly that Robin and Aubrey pushed around.

"You look like you're-"

"Surfing!" all three of them yelled, laughing.

"Woah!" Steve pretended to ride waves and the two swerved the dolly around, "I'm a natural! Check it out!" he yelled as he flew off.

"Wipe out!" Robin laughed.

"Oh my god! Is he okay?!" Aubrey yelled, overly concerned, then began laughing again as Steve did.

Dustin got on the ground beside Steve, feeling his forehead, "He's burning up."

"You're burning up." Steve replied.

"One sec, one sec. Steve, Steve." Dustin was trying to get a good look at his eyes.

"They're zooted." Rue said to Erica, who looked at her confused.

"Ow!" Steve yelled as Dustin pulled his eyelids open, "His pupils are super dilated." he looked up at Rue.

"Maybe he's drugged?" Erica asked.

"You guys didn't catch that, already?" Rue rolled their eyes at them.

"Boop!" Steve poked Dustin's nose.

"Steve, are you drugged?" he patted his face.

"How many times, dad? I don't do drugs. It's only marijauna. I got it from Nick!" he responded, giggling.
