Chapter 24

"Is this really necessary?" Asked Steve as he held the dead demogorgon that had been wrapped up in a blanket.

"Yes, it is, ok? This is a ground breaking scientific discovery." Dustin explained throwing everything in the Byers freezer on to the floor. "We can't just burry it like some common mammal, ok? It's not a dog."

"Alright, alright, alright." Steve agreed placing it in the freezer "but your explaining this to Mrs. Byers. Alright? Christ help me out." Steve added struggling to fit it in the freezer.

"What am I suppose to do?" Questioned Dustin

"Get the door, man." Steve ordered

"Alright I got the door." Said Dustin pulling it open wider

"Jesus." Steve exclaimed finally getting it in as Dustin shut the door, they walked in to the living room where Max, Lucas and Marley were sweeping up all the glass from the smashed window.

"Mike would you just stop already?" Asked  Lucas as he paced up and down

"You weren't in there ok Lucas." Mike argued "that lab is seaming with hundreds of those dogs."

"Demo dogs!" Dusting corrected as he appears at the door.

"The sheriff will take care of her." Said Lucas

"Like she needs protection." said max rolling her eyes.

"Listen, dude, a coach calls a play in a game." Steve started explaining "bottom line, you execute it. Alright?"

"Ok, first of all, this isn't some stupid sports game." Snapped Mike "and second, we're not even in the game. We're on the bench."

"So my point is..." Steve began pausing "right, yeah, we're on the beach, so, uh, there's nothing we can do."

"That's not entirely true." Said Dustin "I mean, these Demo-dogs, they have hive minds. When they ran away from the bus, they were called away."

"If we get their attention maybe we can draw them from the lab." Said Max

"Clear a path to the gate." Marley finished

"Yeah, and then we all die." Steve said

That's one point of view." Dustin started

"That's not a point of view man, that's a fact." Steve cut off,

"I got it." Mike exclaimed pushing through Steve and Dustin

"This is where the chef dig his hole." Mike said kneeling down and pointing to a page of Wills drawing "this is our way into the tunnel. So you got all the tunnel feeding in here." Mike lead them all to another section of the map. "maybe if we set this on fire."

"Oh, yeah? that's a no." Steve said cutting of Mikes idea

"Then the mindayer would call away his army." Said Dustin

"They'd all come to stop us." Lucas added

"We circle back to the exit."

"Guys?" Steve asked only to be ignored

"By the time they realise we're gone- Marley strayed

"El will be back at the gate." Max finished

"Hey. Hey! Hey! This is not happening." Steve yelled clapping his hands to get their attention

"But." Marley protested

"No, no, no, no, no buts, I promise to keep you shitheads safe, and that's exactly what I plan on. We're staying here, on the bench. And we're waiting for the starting team to do their job. Does everybody understand?" Steve questioned
