"She knows I'm lying guys. She fucking knows I'm lying to her!" Mike yells as Will sets up the D&D board.

"I don't even understand why are you even lying to her?" Lucas questioned as Mike paced back and forth biting his thumb.

"Because of fucking Hopper he's threatening me."

"Wait he said he's going to kill you?" Lucas asks, his face scrunching in confusion. "What? No!" Mike yells again. "Okay, then I don't see what's the big deal."

"The big deal is if I don't do what he says he's going to stop me from seeing El! Like prominently. You just don't understand. Jim Hopper is fucking crazy. He's lost his fucking mind."

"Hey, guys almost have the board set up! Let's get going!" Will says from the foldable table.

"I had no choice, Lucas. I really had no fucking choice." Mike says talking over Will.

"Can you shut up from one-second asshole? I really just wished you consulted me in this. Because the way you handled this, well let's just say you're in deep shit." Mike just groans as he sits onto the couch. Then screams slightly pulling at his hair in frustration. "I'm not going to lie to you Mike but it's going to be bad." This results in Mike screaming again.

"But you can fix this Mike. It's just one little mistake. I mean I've made hundreds of mistakes okay honestly I've made fucking thousands. I mean Max has dumped me five times. But I've been able to lurer her back in every time. And you know what I'm going to show you just what to do."

Lucas and Mike both start to run up the stairs leading upstairs. "Guys! I'm still here! I thought we were going to play! Guys?" Will yells, sighing then dropping his head.

"Okay, so you're fucking telling me you two can speak Russian?" Steve yells at Richie and Eddie as he stood in front of them in the backroom.

"Well a few years ago the losers and me all just decided we wanted to learn a language." Richie answered.

"Okay but Russian? Russian out of all the other what like thousands of fucking languages?" Steve asks.

"I mean who wouldn't want to know Russian. Now we can sound badass. And you know maybe I can now get in your mom's pants." Richie says, elbowing Steve in the ribs.

"Can you two just shut your mouths for one second? Jesus christ." Dustin says. He then starts to dig something out of his backpack. Setting a recorder in front of Eddie and Richie. "So you two can translate for us right?" Dustin asks the two of them.

Eddie and Richie both start nodding their head. Dustin hits play, Russian spilling out from the speaker. Steve grabbing a banana. "Where the hell did you even get that?" Richie asks ignoring the recorder. Steve ignores him and just shrugs his shoulders. "Well, you better enjoy that shit cause it's the only chance you're ever going to get to suck on a dick."

"Richie shut up I can't fucking focus." Eddie says slapping Richie on the shoulder and rewinding the tape.

"Hey, you know that music, ya know that's in the background sounds really familiar." Steve says in-between bites.

"This is a fucking Russian secret code and you're worried about the music that's in the background," Dustin says pinching his nose.

"What? I'm just saying that the music sounds familiar."

"Well stop listening to the music and focus on the code." Dustin yells.

"I don't need to pay attention. We have these two fucking idiots to tell us what the Russian means." Steve says but then Robin comes through the door.

"Okay, that's enough of this shit. You're done babysitting Harrington. They know Russian so you can sling the ice cream." Robin shouts towards the group. Dustin turns his head towards Richie.

"Did you tell her about the fucking Russians?" Dustin whispers towards him, Richie shaking his head.

"Hello, I can hear you shitbirds. Yeah, you all are extremely loud. Especially this Trashmouth." Robin says pointing an ice cream scooper towards Richie.

Robin goes to reach for the tape until Steve grabs it from the table. "And what do you think you're fucking doing?"

"I want to hear it. I mean I can probably help out." Dustin starts to smile asking if she knew Russian as well. She starts to speak another language causing Dustin and Steve to become impressed. Eddie and Richie just smirk knowing perfectly well it wasn't Russian. "Yeah well, that was pig Latin you idiots. But who cares if I can't help it's your turn anyway dingus."

Richie and Eddie both begin listening to the tape as Steve heads out to scoop ice cream. Richie immediately starts writing on the notepad making sure he would have everything.

"Okay, so I'm pretty sure this is what I heard. Tell me if you heard something else. серебряный кот кормит, когда синий встречается с желтым на западе, поездка в Китай звучит неплохо, если действовать осторожно." (the silver cat feeds when blue meets yellow in the west a trip to china sounds nice if you tread lightly)

Eddie nods. "Yeah, that's what I heard too. Okay, so the code is the silver cat feeds when blue meets yellow in the west a trip to China sounds nice if you tread lightly."

"What the shit is that supposed to mean?" Dustin questions.

"Chewy we may know Russian but we have no fucking idea what that shit means," Richie replies.

Richie gets up from his seat and heads towards the front of Scoops Ahoy to tell him the code. "Alright, we got the code." Richie looks confused as he sees a grinning Max and Eleven.
