2 hours of driving later, it is now 5 in the morning. The sun is rising and we finally arrive at Hawkins. I heard some shuffling beside me so I took a quick glance.
My wife Rosa was waking up from her sleep. She looked out the window with half sleepy eyes while I turned back around to face the road. "Where are we?" She asked while stretching her arms, looking at me.
"We're at Hawkins, love," I replied "Already?" She said looking out the window again. "Not many people seem to wake up from this time of day" she commented seeing the empty streets "I'm sure students do. It's five in the morning." I said.
"Yea, I guess you're right."

As my husband drive us to the house we rented for a couple of days which is near where Freddy's boyfriend lives just a couple of houses down the road, I looked at the back seat to see what the children are doing.
When I looked back I see that they are sleeping together in a pile-like. Eugene and Pedro are in the second backseat of the van. Eugene was leaning on Pedro using him as a pillow.
While at the first back seat, on the far right where Mary slept with her right elbow rest in front of the window - her head rested to her closed hand.
Beside her was Darla leaning on Freddy using him as a pillow while Freddy's head rested on Billy's shoulder and Billy who sat at the very end on the left rested his head on the car's door.
A smile grew on my face when I saw the kids peacefully sleeping. 'Honestly' I thought "Honey, I think we're close. Can you look at the map for me please?" Asked Victor. I looked back at him then adjusted myself on my seat, I then bring out the map.
After some minutes of wandering around the streets of Hawkins, we, unfortunately, got lost. We must've taken a wrong turn somewhere. "What are we going to do now?" I asked, "don't worry, we'll just ask for direction." Victor replied.
"Good idea."

"Ugh..." Billy groaned as he opened his eyes, Immediately noticing something heavy was on his right shoulder, he looked at his shoulder and saw Freddy's head was resting on it, he was snoring softly.
He breathe out a small sigh then he rubbed his eyes with the back of his left hand to get rid of the tiredness in his eyes.
Once the tiredness is gone he looked around and notice they are still in the car and Victor is still driving. So, he looked at the window noticing that they are in a town. The Van slowed down which made Billy look at the front.
They have slowed down in front of a police station. Mary woke up from her slumber by the time the Van stopped moving. Rosa rolled down her window and called out an officer who had just gotten out of his truck "Hey, excuse me sir" Rosa called out from her window. Moments later a man with a brown beard and a brown-ish hat in a police outfit walked towards the Van. "What can I help you with?" The officer asked.
"Hi, uh you see we got lost and was wondering where we can find Maple Street," Victor asked. "Maple Street? Well, just go straight through there then turn left, and then You'll see an intersection all you have to do it turn right then go straight again then make a turn." The officer answered while pointing to the streets.
"Ah, ok thank you" Rosa thanked. "Glad to help. Say, I have never seen you guys here before. Are you new in town?" The officer asked. "Yes. Yes, we're new here. We're here to visit someone actually." Answered Rosa.
"Ah. Well, Welcome to Hawkins. I'm Chief of police Jim Hopper. If you need anything come back here to the station or call 911. Ofc. For emergency only." the officer- excuse me Chief Hopper said.
