" I found him" el said with the blindfold over her eyes "where is he?" Max asked "woods"el said "the woods?" Bailey asked confused "he's with wills mom" el said and bailey looked over at Will "my-my mom?" Will stammered confusingly "what are they doing?" Max asked "ill...annoy, they're going to ill-annoy" el said "mike breakfast!" Mrs Wheeler yelled from upstairs "not now mom!" Mike yelled back

"Illinois? Illinois, like the state? The state of Illinois?" Mike asked "I-ill -annoy" el stammered while shrugging her shoulders

Max and el went in the bathroom while bailey sat on the couch looking down at her hands

She hasn't used her powers to fight something bad in a while

It shocked her because so much fire of hatred shot out of her hands

She could still feel the burn, she wanted to get used to the feeling

"Somethings not right, I can't get hopper off my back all summer, now all of a sudden he's hiking with wills mom to Illinois? And dustins MIA too? I mean this can't be a coincidence" mike said gaining baileys attention hearing name of her dad "what does it matter? The bottom line is that they're not here, it's up to us" Lucas said and bailey swallowed being afraid "up to us to do what exactly?" Mike asked the boy "find billy and stop him" lucas said simply "ok, yeah that's a really nice sentiment, but even if el could find him again, and that's a pretty big if, then what?" Mike asked

"We burn the shit out of him and make sure he doesn't escape this time" Lucas said "ok and then what?" Mike asked "then we win" Lucas said in a 'duh' tone "no, that's the problem, we don't, we don't win, we got the mindflayer out of Will before and he just came right back, we don't just have to stop billy, we have to stop the mindflayer" mike said "how in the hell are we supposed to do that?" Lucas asked "I don't know" mike said "maybe el does" Will said and mike looked at the bathroom door while walking by it and standing in front of it

"What are they still doing in there?" Mike asked then Lucas stood next to him "I don't know girls just like hanging out in bathrooms" Lucas said and bailey furrowed her eyebrows at the boys and Will got up and stood by mike "why?" Mike asked " I mean, I don't know" lucas said "they're conspiring against me" mike said "that's what you're concerned about?" Will asked "it's not my main concern" mike said and bailey shook her head slowly while standing up next to Lucas "it's just my sub-concern" mike added "I thought it was already over" Will said "it's not over, okay? We're just taking a break" mike said "she said she dumped your ass, that doesn't sound like a break" Will said making baileys eyes widened at wills honesty

"It wasn't! You guys do realize that we can still hear everything you're saying, right?" Max said and bailey laughed lightly and the boys looked over to her

Her face turned red of embarrassment, she didn't like mikes eyes being on her, she was always shy and quiet around the boy, she was ashamed that he was her crush, but she couldn't help it

The boys looked back towards the door "I told you they're conspiring against me" mike said and there was a knock on the door "not now mom!" Mike yelled "mike open the door" they all heard Nancy's voice

Bailey stopped the boy from walking upstairs and held out her hand; opening the door "thanks" mike said "no problem" bailey said quietly while jonathan and Nancy walked down the stairs

"It was the same thing, the exact same thing that happened to Will last year, and look at this look at the body temperatures" Nancy said while putting down the paper and showing all the kids the temperatures and it was all up to 96's and 95's "he likes it cold" Will said "okay so this crazy old woman who was eating fertilizer-" Nancy cut mike off "mrs Driscoll" Nancy corrected mike "right yeah, mrs Driscoll, what time last night?" Mike asked "last night" Nancy said "yea but what time last night?" Mike asked "around 9:00" Nancy said "you waited all night to call?" Jonathan asked Nancy "I was waiting for the doctors to run some tests" Nancy said "you weren't there?" Will asked jonathan "I'm here now aren't I?" Jonathan said "hallelujah" Nancy said sarcastically "oooh" lucas said while closing his eyes and shaking his head slowly

"Um so, wha-what time was your sauna test?" Nancy asked trying to change the subject "around 9:00" the kids all said in unison "well that proves it, that proves my theory" Nancy said "she's flayed just like Billy" mike said "flayed?" Jonathan said confused "the mind flayer he flays people, takes over their mind, once they do that, they basically become him" mike said "if there are 2 flayed" lucas started "we have to assume there a more" will finished

"Heather" el said and they all looked at her "billy was doing something to her, she was scared she was screaming, bad screams" el said "what's a good scream?" Bailey and Lucas asked in unison "max said-" max cut so off "doesn't matter" max said "I'm sorry I'm lost, who is heather?" Nancy asked "she's a lifeguard at the pool" max said "heather Holloway?" Nancy asked and el nodded "Tom" Nancy and Jonathan said in unison
