A VOICE BROKE through the silence. M/n opened his eyes and looked around for the source of where the sound was coming from. 

"Dustin, can you hear me? Dustinn.." 

M/n breathed out in relief as he reached over for the radio just chilling. "This is M/n." he muttered, still trying to wake himself up completely.

"L/n! Hey! So uh, im gonna need another delivery.. like, soon. Unless you want me going out into the world—"

"Hey man, im not the one wanted for murder—" "Hey, Eddie, Gabe here. Just stay where you are and we'll be there as soon as we can alright?" Gabe snatched the radio from his brother who just grumbled while rubbing his face.

"Yeah— Yeah! Listen um.. can you pick me up a six-pack? I know, it's stupid as shit, drinking right now but a cold beer would really calm my jangled nerves—"

M/n looked around at the empty space on the couch and his eyes widened, now fully awake. Gabe watched as his brother proceeded to shake Dustin awake aggresively while asking for Max's whereabouts. 

"Um, ill be right back.." "L/n—"

"Aren't you supposed to be on Max watch!?" "Yep.. Yep!YepYEp!" Dustin rubbed his eyes and looked at M/n his eyes now wide. 

"Then where is she????"

"She's right there.... a second ago!" Dustin pointed to the now empty spot and also began to panic. "I swear i just dozed off for.." he checked his watch, "an hour.." he whispered in shock as he made eye contact with M/n. 

M/n and Dustin both ran up the stairs, just about ready to turn Mike's house upside down but paused when the noticed the red-haired girl just sitting at the dining table. 

"Hey guys! Everything okay?" Mike's mom greeted them from the kitchen. 

"Yeah, everything's fine.." M/n sighed in relief as Max turned around, her headphones on. 

"I think it's so sweet that you guys are sticking together like this." Karen smiled. 

"Could try sticking together at a different house for a change.." Ted muttered while reading the newspaper. 

Karen rolled her eyes and looked at Dustin, M/n walking over to Max. "You know you're welcome here anytime.."

"Of course, you guys are like family." Dustin nodded. He grabbed a plate. "May I?" 

"Of course!"

 "Sure, why not. Take us for all we're worth." Ted opened his mouth. 

Dustin looked up and smiled wide. "Okay." Ted watched as he proceeded to fill his plate from all kinds of food.
