RADIO STATIC PLAYED as amelia messed around with mikes stuff. she has always been fascinated with electricity. the girls heard footsteps from outside of the fort. their cover was pulled up, revealing mike.
"hey, you find my supercomm. pretty cool, huh?" he says toward lia. she gave him a small nod. "i talk to my friends with it. mostly lucas cause he lives so close. signals pretty weak." he explains.
he pulls three eggos out of his pockets, handing one to each of them. "got you guys breakfast." eleven takes a big bite out of hers while olivia tore pieces of it apart and ate it. amelia kinda stared at it. she would've preferred pancakes.
"so listen, this is gonna sound a little weird, but i just need you guys to go out there. then go to the front door and ring the doorbell. my mom will answer and you'll tell her that you guys are lost and that you need help. but whatever you do, you can't tell her about last night or that you know me. understand?"
liv and lia all were elbowing each other back and forth. "really, it's no big deal. we'll just pretend to meet each other again. and my mom, she'll know who to call." mike shrugs. olivia spoke first.
"no."
"no?" mike asks, confused. olivia repeats, "no." mikes shoulders fall. "no... you don't want my mom to get help?" he asks them. eleven shakes her head. mike then realizes, "you're in trouble, aren't you?" the girls all just stare, not really answering.
"who... who are you in trouble with?" he asks. eleven looked as if she were about to cry. "bad." she answers. "bad?" he asks. "bad people." olivia tells him. "they wanna hurt you guys? the bad people?" he continued his questions.
eleven makes a finger gun and puts it up to her head, olivias, amelias and then mikes. "understand?" el asks. before he could say anything else, he quickly looks back once he hears a voice.
"michael, where are you? we're going to be late. let's go!" his mom says from upstairs. mike turns back around and frantically speaks. "all right, i'll be back. just stay here, okay? stay here." he gets up and pulls the blanket back down over them and runs upstairs.
"what do we do now?" amelia turns to olivia. "i don't know, i usually ask you that." she shrugs. "but now he knows! what if he tells somebody?" she panicked. "he wouldn't do that. he's nice, he gave us waffles." liv tells her.
"i wanted pancakes." amelia says. olivia rolls her eyes. "it doesn't matter, at least he cares." she says. lia sighs. "what if his friends tell on us? you heard what they said last night."
olivia chewed on the inside of her cheek. amelia was right, they didn't want them here and they almost told on them before. amelia turns to eleven. "you'll help us, right?"
she nods. "yes."
DUSTIN AND LUCAS sat down at their desks, setting their books on the table and putting their backpacks on the back of their chairs. they look over to where mike usually sits. "oh this is weird. he's never this late." dustin says. "i'm telling you, his stupid plan failed." lucas turned back to face dustin. "i thought you liked his plan?" dustin asked. "yeah, but obviously it was stupid, or he'd be here." he points out.
"if his mom found out a girl spent the night-" dustin began, shaking his head. "he's in deep shit right about now." lucas leaned back in his chair. "hey, what if they slept naked?" lucas rolled his eyes. "oh, my god, they didn't."
