Peter's Pov:

The five of us all sat inside Joyce's small car. Joyce drove down the empty, dark, and worn out road. "There's nothing. There's nothing here" Mike stated, looking out the window. "Are we close?" Joyce asked. "We're in the vicinity" Bob told her. "What's that mean, the vicinity?" Joyce asked Bob, quickly glancing at Bob. "I means we're close. I don't know. Its not precise" Bob said. "But we did all that work" Joyce spoke. "I told you, the scale ratio is not exactly one-to-one. We needed to take--" Bob explained but was interrupted by Will. "Turn right" Will said all of a sudden. "What?" Joyce glanced back at Will for a second. "I saw him" He said. "Where?" Joyce asked. "Not here. In my now memories" Will explained. "In your what?" Bob asked him, confused. "Turn right!" Will yelled and Joyce harshly turned. My body couldn't stay up and I ended up falling onto Will's lap. We ran into a sign with hay beside it and knocked the hay everywhere. I saw a car and we pulled up behind it. It was Hoppers and my dads car. Joyce quickly put her foot on the break before we almost hit the car. "Are you okay?" Joyce asked us in the backseat. "Superspy" Mike mumbled. "What're Jim and Harry doing here?" Bob asked. "Boys, I need you to stay here" Joyce opened the door and started to get out of the car. "No. Mom, mom, mom, its not safe" Will told her and I sat up from his lap. "That's why I need you to stay here. Stay here" She told us and pointed at each of us. Bob followed her out of the car.

Mike, Will and I patiently waited inside Joyce's car until we couldn't see neither Joyce or Bob. We got out quietly and slowly walked toward the huge hole in the middle of the area. "Do you see anything? I mean in your now memories?" Mike asked Will. He shook his head and I heard tires screech. The three of us turned to face where the noice was coming from. A few white vans turned into the field we were in. The vans were the same ones that were chasing us about a year ago from the lab. The people in the vans got out of the vans and started walking towards the hole. A person went inside the hole and suddenly Will fell to the ground, like he was in intense pain or something. "Will? Will, are you okay?" I got on my knees beside him. "Will what's wrong?" Mike asked doing the same. Will didn't answer and started shaking uncontrollably, screaming as well. It looked like he was having a spasm. Mike and I both stood up backing away from Will a little and I latched onto Mike's arm, tightly. I was so scared. It wouldn't stop. Will just kept shaking and screaming. The people from the lab noticed Will screaming and approached him slowly, pointing there bright flashlights at him.
