"We just tell our parents we have AV club after school and Samantha is picking us up, that will at least give us a few hours" Mike says as Dustin, Lucas and I stand around a table in the basement with Eleven playing with the walk-talki.

"You seriously think the weirdo knows where Will is?" Lucas asks Mike

"Just trust me on this, Okay?" Mike tells him "Did you get the supplies?"

"Yeah" Lucas says as he bends over to get his bag and place it on the table "binoculars from Nam, Army knife also from Nam, Hammer, Camouflage bandana and the wrist rocket" Lucas says with a smile on his face.

"Your gonna take out the demogorgon with a slingshot?" Dustin asks him

"First of all it's a wrist rocket and second of all the demogorgon is not real, it's made up, but if there is something out there I'm gonna shoot it in the eye" Lucas says aiming the slingshot/wrist rocket at Dustin and lets go if it "And blind it" Lucas adds

"Okay, Dustin what did you bring?" Mike asks him. Dustin lifts his bag off he floor and onto the table and starts to go through his bag. All he had in there was food - points for thinking but I'm somehow not surprised.

"Seriously?" I ask him, folding my arms across my chest.

"We need anergy for our travel" he tells me "For stamina. And besides, why do we even need weapons anyway? We have her" Dustin says pointing to El.

"She shut one door!" Lucas says furiously

"With her mind!" Dustin says back "That's insane! Imagine all the other cool stuff she could do. Like -" Dustin walks over to the little coffee table in front of the couch and picked up a lego space craft Mike made "I bet that she could make this fly! Hey, hey. Okay, concentrate okay?" She doesn't listen, she just stares at it as it falls to the floor. "Okay, one more time" he tells her. El dose the same thing. "Okay, use your powers, okay?" He tries again. Same thing.

"Idiot" Lucas says under his breath talking about Dustin.

"She's not a dog" Mike says coming in and taking the space craft from Dustin's hands.

"Boys! Samantha! Time for school" Mom yells from upstairs

"Just stay down here, don't make any noise, and don't leave. If you get hungry, eat Dustin's snacks, okay?" Mike tells El

"Michael! Samantha!" Mom calls us again

"Coming!" Mike calls out

"Come on Mike, we gotta go" I tell him

"You know those power lines?" Mike tries to explain to El

"Power lines?"

"Yeah, the ones behind my house"

"Yes" She softly says back

"Meet us there. After school" I say to her

"After school?"
