"BUT I LIKE YOUR NEW JEANS, THEY'RE COOL. THEY SUIT YOU"

Everyone crowded around Mike's basement and looked at El who had a blindfold on and was trying to search for Hopper "I found him".

"Where is he?" Delilah asked.

"Woods" she told them.

"Woods?" Lucas asked.

"He's with... Will and Del's mom"

"Our... our mom?" Will asked in confusion.

"What are they doing?"

"Ill... annoy.They're going to Ill-annoy" Eleven struggled to pronounce Illinois.

"Illinois? Illinois, like the state? The state of Illinois?" Mike asked her.

"Ill-annoy" El shrugged, she didn't know what it meant.

Max helped Delilah clean some of the blood off of her nose and noticed the girl keep touching her neck.

"Does it still hurt?" Max asked.

"Only when I talk" She shrugged.

"Well, it's a good thing you're not Mike, then.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You'd be in constant pain" Max smiled.

"Okay, so this crazy old woman who was eating fertilizer..." Mike started.

"Mrs. Driscoll" Nancy told him sternly.

"Right, yeah, Mrs. Driscoll. What time was this attack?" He asked her.

"Last night"

"Right, but what time last night?" Mike asked more specifically.

"Around 9:00" She told him.

"You waited all night to call?" Jonathan asked her.

"I was waiting for the doctors to run some tests" she shrugged.

"You weren't there?" Delilah asked her older brother.

"Well, I'm here now, aren't I?" He told her.

"Hallelujah" Nancy rolled her eyes "Um, so, wha... what time was your... sauna test?".

"Around 9:00" everyone agreed.

"Well, that proves it. That proves my theory" Nancy nodded.

"She's flayed, just like Billy" Mike agreed.

"Flayed?" Jonathan asked.

"The Mind Flayer. He flays people. Takes over their mind. Once they do that, they basically become him" Mike explained.

"If there are two flayed..." Lucas started.

"We have to assume there are more" Will spoke.

"Hallie" Delilah stood up "Hallie was acting weird, somethings happened to her, I know it has".

"Heather" El spoke "Billy was doing something to her. She was scared. She was screaming.
Bad screams".

"What's a good scream?" Lucas asked.

"Max said..." El began but Max quickly shut her down.
