"It's like - It's like I feel what the shadow monster's feeling, see what he's seeing" Will explains to Mike and I as we both look around his room
"Like in the Upside Down?" Mike asks
"Some of him is there. But some of him is here, too" Referring to the real world
"Here like, in this house?" Mike asks now looking at Will with concern threaded through his voice
"In this house and in me" Will begins to get tears in his eyes as Mike sits next to Will and I sit down on the floor in front of him "It's like - It's like he's reaching into Hawkins more and more and the more he spreads, the more connected to him I feel"
"And the more you see these now-memories"
"At first I just felt it in the back of my head, I didn't even really know it was there. It's like when you have a dream and you can't remember it unless you think really hard. It was like that. But know it's like now I remember, I remember all the time"
"Maybe - Maybe that's good" I tell him
"Good?" Will asks looking right at me
"Just think about it, Will. You're like a spy now" I say looking between Mike and Will
"A superspy. Spying on the shadow monster. If you know what he's seeing and feeling maybe that's how we can stop him. Maybe all of this is happening for a reason" I try to tell him as Will looks around his room
"You really think so?"
"Yeah, yeah, I really do"
Will looks over to a drawing that he did of the shadow monster in his front yard. Mike and I follow his gaze to see the picture that he's looking at.
"What if he figures out we're spying on him? What if he spies back?" Will begins to breathe heavily
"He won't" I tell him confidently
Will's hands begin to shake "How do you know?"
Mike places his hand on Wills shaky one and looks at me "We won't let him"

I decided to go home and let Mike stay at Will's and told them I will be back first thing in the morning and to call me if anything happens.
I get home and see a familiar blue car parked out the front of my house. I park my car and get out and lock eye contact with a beautiful blue pair. I shut my door and pull out a cigarette and light it as I walk over to the person leaning against the car.
