by the time we get to where hopper and the supposed x is, it is dark and our car is the only one that is on the road.

"there's nothing. there's nothing here!" mike says looking out at the barren fields. i watch them go by, slowly falling asleep on will's shoulder.

"are we close?" joyce questions bob as he looks at the map in front of him. "we're in the vicinity"

i take my head off of will's shoulder to wake myself up finally.

"what's that mean, the vicinity?"

"it means we're close! i don't know it's not exactly precise-" bob says.

"but we did all that work!" joyce says. sounding distressed. "i told you, the scale ratio is not exactly one-to-one. we needed to take-"

will cuts him off. "turn right!" he says loudly. i jump into mike at the sudden verbal explosion that had come from will. "sorry" i whisper when i realizing how close i had just gotten to him but will had scared me with how loud he had screamed.

"what?" joyce asks will. "i saw him!" will says.

"where?"

"not here in my now-memories!"

"in your what?" bob asks completely confused. i forgot that he didn't know the situation we were currently in. it took me a second to process it when mike had told me.

"turn right!" will yells again.

joyce cuts the week, taking a quick right crashing into something but driving through it until we reach the middle of a field where hopper's truck sits.

i am shocked that will's now memories are as accurate as they are.

it looks like there ks nothing and nobody in it. i fly forward when joyce suddenly slams on the brakes. mike grabs me making sure i don't fly out of my seatbelt.

"you okay?" joyce asks us. we all respond with a yes and a nod. mike looks down at me, his arms still wrapped around me. "are you okay?" he questions me

"uh yeah, i'm fine" i say wiggling myself out of mike's continuous grip before mike speaks again. "super spy!" he says looking at will.

"what's jim doing here? joyce?" bob speaks. it hits me again. he has no idea what the hell was going on. joyce turns around and looks at all three of us, mike, will and i.
