A Code to DeCipher (BillDip)

Chapter 11

Dipper, Mabel, and Wendy sat in the back seat of the car while Grunkle Stan drove, Soos in the passenger seat. Mabel had her grappling hook with her, as well some strange yet dangerous looking stun gun she had found in the workshop behind the vending machine. All their weapons were nonlethal, but that didn't mean they weren't dangerous. Dipper had a paralytic tranquilizer, Soos had a baseball bat, Stanley his brass knuckles, and Wendy had a pair of nunchucks. Dipper tried to not be disturbed by the fact that they had all of those weapons in the house, and instead focused on the fact that his family was willing to help him get Bill back, even after everything the demon had done. Even  Mabel, who obviously didn't like Bill, was ready to fight to get him back. Dipper would have smiled had he not been so worried. What if we're too late? What if they're not even here? What if one of us gets hurt? They would be breaking and entering on government property. He didn't know much about government policies when it came to the agents, but he was pretty sure that meant they could shoot first, and ask questions later.

This suddenly didn't seem like such a good idea. Dipper looked out the window so the others wouldn't see the doubt in his eyes. As they got closer to their destination, Dipper grew nervous. His stomach churned and fluttered, and he couldn't help the small smile that came to his face. Mabel looked over at him, her eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"What is it?" She wondered. Dipper shook his head.

"It's nothing. I've just got butterflies, is all." He replied. Mabel pursed her lips, almost convinced that her brother had finally lost his mind, but she just shrugged and went back to talking with Wendy. Dipper looked out the window again as the town boundary whisked by. They were getting very close now. The whole situation seemed surreal, yet painstakingly real at the same time. And while Dipper was anxiously awaiting their arrival, he almost wished the car would never stop moving. He didn't want to know what faced him at the end of this tunnel, especially since the negative outcomes greatly outweighed the positives. Stan pulled the car over into the cover of the trees and bushes, turning it around so that they could make a quick get away. Dipper suddenly smacked his forehead in frustration.

"Oh, dammit!" He exclaimed. The others looked at him in question. He gestured to the car. "We don't have room for Bill!" He pointed out. Grunkle Stan shrugged.

"I'll steal something. We'll be fine, kid, let's go." He decided, getting out of the car. Dipper frowned, not exactly on board with that plan, but got out of the car nonetheless. Once everyone was equipped with their weapon of choice, the large base just visible through the canopy of trees and trunks, they started forwards, moving quickly and quietly towards whatever fate lay before them...
