SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH
"Suzie, do you copy?" Dustin's voice chimed. A girl who read gasped as she heard the boy. "Suzie, do you copy?" The girl in glasses and pigtails rushed to the radio. She spoke into the radio intercom. "This is Suzie. I copy." Henderson smiled. "Suzie!"
"Dusty bun?"Erica who sat next to Dustin questioned in cringe. "Dusty bun?" Suzie began to question her boyfriend. "Where have you been?"
"I'm so, so sorry. I-I've been really busy...trying to save the world from Russians and monsters." The girl chuckled. "Of course you have.""Get the goddamn code already!"
"Who was that?"
Dustin stammered, "It was... Uh, I don't know, actually. I think it was just some interference. So, why don't we, uh, change frequency to 14.158?"
"Copy that, shifting frequency. Standby." Suzie turned the dial.Steve and Robin looked out the window at the monster following the car. Rene was getting weaker by the minute. Rob turned to her and skooched to sit next to her. "Hey." The weak female smiled slightly as she greeted back.
"You're gonna be okay."
"How do you know?" The blonde seemed to tear up a little and caressed the brunette's hair. She started to apologize. Byers shook her head a little. "It's not your fault, Rob." She repeated. Robin nodded. Dustin and Suzie's voices came on the walkie. "Suzie." Harrington and Buckley piped."Do you know Planck's constant?"
"Do you know the Earth orbits the sun?"
"Okay, so I know it starts with two sixes and then a-- What is it?"
"Okay, let me just be clear on this. I haven't heard from you in a week, and now you want a mathematical equation that you should know so you can... save the world?""Suzie poo, I promise, I will make it up to you as soon as possible."
"You can make it up to me now."
"What?"
"I want to hear it."
"Not right now."
"Yes, now, Dusty bun.""Suzie poo, this is urgent."
"Yes, yes, you're saving the world, I heard you the first time, but Ged is also saving Earthsea and he's about to confront the shadow, so this is Suzie signing off."
"Wait! Wait! Okay. Okay."The boy grimaced, unprepared for what he must do. "Shit." Dustin sang into the intercom.
Turn around.
Look at what you see
In her face
The mirror of your dreamsThe teens in the back of the car all listened, finding it either weird or a tad odd. Suzie joined in.
Make believe I'm everywhere
Given in the light
Written on the pages is
The answer toA never ending story
The couple vocalized.
Reach the stars
Fly a fantasy
Dream a dream
And what you see will be
Rhymes that keep their secrets will
Unfold behind the clouds
And there upon a rainbow is
The answer to a never ending storyStory
"Planck's constant is 6.62607004." Suzie's answer led Jim to the keypad. It glowed green. They took the special keys. Dustin smiled as he spoke. "You just saved the world." The girl sighed, smiling. "Gosh, I miss you, Dusty bun."
"And I miss you more, Suzie poo." They got into a miss you more game. Erica changed the frequency, interrupting Dustin. "Enough."Billy coughed as he crawled out of the Camaro. He groaned as he got on his feet.
