"You think he's still in there?" Steve asks, putting his hands on his hips while everyone looks at the lake
"Can't tell.. Harrington jump in for us." Eddie smiles, patting Steve on the back, "Steve almost died last time, though!" Dustin argues
"What, you almost drowned?" Billy laughs, "I think Billy should go -" Dustin offers.
Billy looks at him, and Dustin hides behind Eddie and Steve using them as a wall, "Henderson, he's not gonna hurt you."
Steve walks to Billy, "I knew you'd turn to the dark side." Dustin says, still using Eddie as a shield.
"What'd Billy do?" Eddie asks, shrugging his shoulders. The whole group turns to Lucas rather than to Steve
"He-" Dustin starts but is quickly shut down by Max, who was glaring at him, "Just something a long time ago, it's fine now," Max says, looking at Eddie
"Alright- so what's the plan?"
After a short discussion, the group decided the kids would look in the woods, and the adults would look in the lake.
Soon, Steve was rowing Billy and Eddie out to the middle of the lake to try and find Patrick
"Don't die! If you haven't- already.." Dustin yells, making Max and Lucas' eyes roll, "C'mon." Max says, pulling Dustin
"Stop -" Eddie says as they get to where the gate in the lake was, Billy, leans over, looking at the deepness of the lake.
"So, who's going?" Eddie asks, looking at the two, "I'll go. " Billy offers
"What no, I can go," Steve says, "It's not that deep I'll be fine." Billy looks at Steve, and they make eye contact for a while
"So - Billy's going?" Eddie asks, looking at the two, "Huh? Oh yeah, I'm going. " Steve rolls his eyes at Billy as he stands
Billy undoes his shirt, sliding it off, "Wow dude-" Eddie says, which makes Steve look at him, "What?" Billy asks.
"Your scars.." Eddie raises his hand, running his finger across one scar on his side, Billy doesn't do anything, which made Steve jealous

"Oh, they're nothing." Billy hated his scars. When he saw them, he thought they made him look weak
"Well, good luck down there, man." Eddie smiles up at Billy.

Billy dives into the lake, making water splash onto the two still above water, "Was he a lifeguard too?" Eddie asks
"Harrington? Steve!"
"Huh? Oh yeah -"
"He was a lifeguard?"
