"ok. lemme see." Nancy said.

nancy rolls up el's pant leg revealing a bloody, oozing wound.

"oh, shit." max said. everyone looked at her wound in disgust. jordyn starts gagging and lucas sucked his teeth looking at her.

Nancy removes a gauze pad from the box.

"hey, what're you doing?" max asked Nancy.

"i'm cleaning the wound." nancy said.

"no, first we need to stop the bleeding, then clean, then disinfect, then bandage. i skateboard trust me." max said.

"jordyn hold this." max said pointing at el's wound.

Jordyn hesitated but slowly press her hands against the wound.

"keep the pressure on it, nice and firm, ok?" max said.

"o- o- ok." jordyn gagged.

"we're gonna need water and soap." max said to Jonathan and Nancy.

"yeah ok." Nancy rolled her eyes.

"all right." jonathan said.

lucas dumps a sack full of random things. chocolate bar, flashlight, some buttons, and pennies.

"does any of this help?" lucas asked.

"you slow." jordyn said.

"no, go get me a washcloth and a bowl." max said.

"a bowl?" lucas asked.

"lucas!" max said.

"ok." lucas said.

eleven looked at jordyn and laughed.

"what?" jordyn asked.

"your face, why're you looking like that?" eleven asked.

"this is trifling." jordyn said.

"what is t- trifling?" eleven asked.

"it's like- something nasty." jordyn said.

"o- oh." eleven said.

it was quiet until,

"did you and mike get back together?" eleven asked.

"yeah why?" jordyn asked.

"well um- max likes you." eleven said.

"seeee, that's how i know i'm fine." jordyn smiled sticking her tongue out.

"oh- she told me not to say anything." eleven said.

"don't worry i won't say nun." jordyn said.

"o- ok please don't." eleven said.

"quiet." max said.

"oh sorry." lucas whispered as he took a sip.

"lemme get a water fall right quick." jordyn said.

"naw get yo own." lucas said.

jordyn snatched the coke out his hand and poured some in her mouth.

she gave the can back to lucas as she swallowed.

"preciate it." jordyn said.

"how do y'all even drink that?" mike asked.

"because it's delicious." lucas said.

"what?" mike and max asked in sync.

"it's like carpenter's the thing, the original is a classic, no question about it. but the remake..." lucas stopped by slurping loudly then a satisfied sigh.

"sweeter, bolder... better." lucas said jordyn chuckled shaking her head.

"you're insane." mike said.

"so you prefer the original thing?" lucas asked.

"what? no, i'm not talking about the thing, i'm talking about new coke." mike said.

"it's the same concept dude." lucas said.

"uh actually it's not the same concept." mike said.

"it is the same concept." lucas said.

"no it's not." mike said.

"yes it is." lucas yelled.

"hey!" eleven said pulling off her blindfold.

"sorry." mike and lucas said.

"did you find him?" jordyn asked.
