El was covered up with a blanket, leaning onto Ashlyn as Lucas and Dustin stared at the other two. "Are you out of your mind?" Lucas asked Mike.
"Just listen to me." Mike was about to start explaining but Lucas let out a huff.
"You are out of your mind!"
"She's knows about Will." Ashlyn spike up, El sinking into her warmth. "What do you mean she knows about Will?"
Mike walked over to his desk and lifted up the picture from earlier. "She pointed at him, at his picture. She knew he was missing. I could tell."
"You could tell?" Lucas asked in disbelief as he glanced at the two girls on the bed, El playing with Ashlyn's hands.
"Just think about it. Do you really think it was a coincidence that we found her on Mirkwood, the same place where Will disappeared." El looked up and her eyes glossed over at the sight of the boys arguing.
Ashlyn glared at the boys as they continued to argue. "That is weird." Dustin agreed.
"And she said bad people are after her." El closed her eyes at the mention and Ashlyn gripped her hand tightly.
"I think maybe these bad people are the same ones that took Will. I think she knows what happened to him." Mike finished, Lucas staring at his with an unimpressed look on his face.
"Then why doesn't she tell us?" Lucas asked as he slowly turned to El, walking towards her. "Do you know where he is?" Lucas asked demandingly.
"Do you know where Will is?" Lucas roughly grabbed her shoulders, making tears threaten to spill from her eyes.
Ashlyn smacked Lucas' hand away and El buried her head in her neck, trying to avoid Lucas.
"Stop it, you're scaring her!" Ashlyn spat at him. "She should be scared!" Lucas spat back.
"If you know where he is, tell us!" Lucas said, ignoring the fact that El was about to start sobbing.
Lucas rolled his eyes and turned towards Mike. "This is nuts. We have to take her to your mom."
"No! Eleven said telling any adult would put us in danger." Mike refused, making sure that Lucas wouldn't tell anybody at all.
"What kind of danger?" Dustin asked with fear evident on his face.
"Her name is Eleven?"
"El, for short." Mike corrected. "Mike, what kind of danger?" Dustin repeated forcefully, making Mike look at him. "Danger danger."
Mike brought up a finger gun and pointed it at Dustin before bringing it towards Lucas' face. Lucas smacked his hand away, rolling his eyes.
"No, no, no! We're going back to plan A. We're telling your mom." Lucas said, walking over to the door. He opened it, just for the doorknob to be ripped from his hand, making it close.
