Lily could tell by the expressions of Steve and Dustin, that they too were feeling a little disappointed that they didn't get to play a role in decoding the code. Instead, they had been following a Jazzercise instructor.
"You cracked the code?" Lily asked, repeating what Robin had just said, "What do you mean you cracked it?"
"I mean, I cracked the code" Robin grinned, "The silver cat feeds, that's the Lynx Transportation guys that deliver to Scoops, when blue meets yellow in the west refers to the time" She explained, pointing to the clock, "And then each of other parts match up to one of the stores in this mall. A trip to China sounds nice, that's Imperial Panda, and if you tread lightly, that's Kaufman Shoes" She rambled on.
"Holy shit!" Dustin exclaimed, "You did it, Robin!"
"Wait, I don't get it" Steve frowned, looking over at Lily, who nodded in agreement.
"Come on, use your brains, dipshits" Robin groaned, "The silver cat is code for Lynx Transportation, and when blue meets yellow in the west is code for the time" She repeated, "If you look at the clock, it'll be quarter to nine when the blue hand meets the yellow hand in the west".
"Oh" Lily said, bluntly, "I guess that makes sense".
Robin fought the urge to roll her eyes at how slow Lily and Steve were. "I was thinking, if the code fits in with Starcourt, maybe the Russians are involved in some way".
"So, you think these Russians work for Starcourt?" Lily frowned, trying to process what Robin had just implied.
Robin shrugged, "Or maybe the Russians are Starcourt".
"What do you mean?" Steve questioned.
"Well, if the Russians are here in Hawkins, they've gotta have some sort of base somewhere-" Robin began.
"And if the code came from here, the base must be in the mall somewhere-" Dustin interjected.
Robin nodded, "And there's no way the Russians could have just built a secret base here, unless they have some sort of control over the mall".
"So, you're saying a Russian base is here?" Lily frowned.
