"It looks like Robin sent up the Bat-Signal." Dustin commented as he, Jonathan and Steve climbed out of the WSQK van, watching as Nancy's car came racing up the long driveway. Once the car had come to a stop, and Nancy had turned off the engine, the group of four climbed out of the vehicle. Nancy reunited with Jonathan, the boy pulling her into his arms for a comforting hug, while Mike, Cat and Lucas made their way over to inspect Dustin's injuries.
"Holy shit." Mike exclaimed.
Cat's hands flew to her mouth in shock as she stared at the state of her younger brother. "Jesus, Dusty. What the hell happened?!" She cried, her eyes scanning over the dried blood and forming bruises that littered his face.
"Bike crash." Dustin shrugged his shoulders. "Flew headfirst into a light post." Cat furrowed her brows as she shared a look of disbelief with Steve. "Look, I'm sorry about missing the crawl, about everything."
"It's not your fault. Don't beat yourself up." Mike told him.
"Yeah, looks like he already did." Lucas stated. "Is that broken?" He asked, reaching a hand out towards his friend's nose.
"I dunno." Dustin answered, leaning away from his friend's hand.
Cat folded her arms across her chest, a frown sitting prominently on her face. "Was it those stupid jocks again?" She asked. "Be honest."
Dustin shook his head. "No. I told you, I fell off my bike."
"Bullshit. I don't believe you."
"You don't have to believe me. I'm telling the truth." Dustin argued.
Cat hummed, not convinced. She opened her mouth to counter her brother's blatant lying when Robin came bursting through the radio station's front doors. "Hey, this isn't a social call, kiddos." She called, waving the group of seven inside. "Let's go." Cat sent one last look of disapproval in her brother's direction before taking hold of Steve's hand and following Robin inside.

"Derek?" Steve questioned once Robin and Will had caught everyone up on the new information they had learnt from their expedition to the woods and then the elementary school. "Derek Turnbow? As in the Turnbow family? Like Turnbow Realty?"
Robin nodded her head. "The one and only."
"Whole family's a menace." Lucas mumbled.
"How can you be sure?" Nancy asked, looking across the room to Will. "Sure that Derek's the next target?"
"Because I saw." Will answered. "I've learned that when I'm close enough to the hive mind, I can tap into it, into Vecna's mind. I can see who he's targeting. The first time it happened, I saw through Holly's eyes the same day she was taken. And this morning, it happened again. Only this time, I wasn't Holly. I was someone else. I was Derek Turnbow. I'm positive."
