AFTER ELEVEN HAD exited the bath, the four kids sat on the bleachers. Eleven laid her head on Julie's shoulder as she was wrapped in a warm blanket.
Mike frantically checked his watch before getting up and storming off.
"What's he doing?" Julie whispered, Lucas and Dustin just shrugged.
He walked back inside. "They're gone."
"What?" Lucas said.
"Nancy and Jonathan, his cars gone."
"They're probably just sucking face somewhere." Dustin laughed, Julie smacked the back of his head.
"Ow!" He yelped and rubbed the spot, he glared at her and muttered something. She returned a sarcastic smile.
"No. No way!" Mike cringed.
"Did they go with the chief?" Dustin asked.
"They couldn't have, Dad told me he was going on his own." Julie spoke. "He didn't tell me where."
"I know.." Eleven muttered.
"What, where?" Mike inquired.
"Demogorgon." She whispered.
Julie's eyes went as wide as they could, the kids shared worried glances at this information, it was almost as if they were silently communicating with eachother.
The four spoke as Eleven stayed on the bleachers.
"Guys, guys. This is crazy!" Mike shushed. "We can't just wait around?"
"What do you want us to do?" Julie argued. "Incase you forgot we're still fugitives. The bad men are still looking for us."
"Yeah, and we don't even know where your sister is." Dustin joined in.
"El can find them." He suggested.
"Mike, look at her," Dustin pointed to the soaking girl that was still shaking on the bleachers, Julie threw her head back. "I still think we should stick to the chief's plan."
"Thank you!" Julie smiled.
"Exactly, we keep El safe and out of sight." Lucas added. "That's the most important thing, remember? Besides she's okay, she's with Jonathan."
"Yeah, and she's kind of a badass now, so..."
Dustin walked away.
"Where are you going? You just said stick to the plan." Mike yelled after him.
"I am. I'm just gonna go get some chocolate pudding." Dustin shrugged. "I'm telling you, Lunch Lady Phyllis hoards that shit."
