erin, dustin, and lucas now stood in mike's room with him and eleven. after school, they had ridden here as fast as they could. eleven sat on the bed with a blanket covering her crossed legs.

"are you out of your mind?" lucas asked in disbelief. erin couldn't help but smile at the fact that the girl was still in the house.

"just listen to me." mike interrupted.

"you are out of your mind!" lucas cried, looking back and forth between mike and eleven. erin stared at eleven as eleven watched the scene play out in front of her.

"she knows about will." mike said quickly. erin snapped her attention to him.

"what?" erin instantly asked, taking a step forward.

"what do you mean she knows about will?" dustin continued.

mike walked forward to a picture on his nightstand of himself, erin, will, lucas, and dustin. that was when they had won the science fair. will and mike stood to one side while dustin and lucas stood to the other. erin sat on her knees in the middle with a wide smile.

mike picked it up and showed it to them. "she pointed at him, at his picture. she knew he was missing. i could tell." mike said.

"yeah, and also to the fact that he's not here with us." erin pointed out, not wanting to get her hopes up that eleven might know how to get him back.

"just think about it. do you really think it was a coincidence that we found her on mirkwood, the same place where will disappeared?" he asked as erin looked to eleven. eleven was giving an almost scared look to them. erin stared at her as the boys continued to speak.

"that is weird." dustin agreed.

"and she said bad people are after her." mike said. erin glanced at him.

"i think maybe these bad people are the same ones that took will." mike stated and erin closed her eyes. "i think she knows what happened to him."

"then why doesn't she tell us?" lucas asked, waving his hand before he suddenly got a menacing look on his face as he turned to her.

"do you know where he is?" he asked, walking towards her. eleven gave a fearful look in response. erin took a step forward. "do you know where will is?" he then asked loudly, putting his hands on her shoulders. she looked as if she would cry.
