Dustin nodded. "Exactly."

"And my translation is correct. I know that for sure, so..." Robin trailed off, the clogs in her brain turning. ""The silver cat feeds." Why would anyone talk like that unless they're trying to mask the true meaning of their message?" Robin asked. Dustin nodded again. "Exactly."

Robin went on. "And why would anyone mask the true meaning of their message unless the message was somehow sensitive?" Dustin agreed with the short haired girl again. "Exactly."

Steve shrugged, finally agreeing. "So I guess that confirms your suspicion." Robin said, looking over at Dustin. "Evil Russians." Robin chuckled, looking over to Savannah who was staring at one of the carousel rides, squinting her eyes. "I can't believe I'm about ti agree with this strange child, but, yeah, totally evil Russians."

"So, how do we crack it?" Dustin asked. "Well, I guess we translate the rest and hopefully a pattern emerges." Robin shrugged while shaking her head. "A pattern. Right, like maybe "silver cat" is a meeting place?" The curly-head suggested as they walked past Savannah who still stood, her eyes squinted on the pony ride labeled "Indiana Flyer".

"Or a person."

"Or a weapon."

Steve slowed down, seeing the girl just standing there. "Hey, Harrington." Savannah motioned for him to come here as the two others kept walking. "You have a quarter?" She asked, turning to look up at him. "Why?" He asked. Savannah started humming the tune that was in the background of the Russian tape making Steve's energy spike, he quickly began to dig through his pockets.

"Where are the S children?" Robin suddenly said, turning around to see Steve digging through his pockets as Savannah had her hand out.

"Hey, doofuses. What are you doing." Robin yelled towards the two. Steve looked through the coins in his hands. "Uh, it's a quarter. We need— Do you have a quarter?" He yelled at the girl. Robin chuckled as she and Dustin jogged towards them. "Sure you guys are tall enough for the ride?" Robin teased as she pulled a quarter out of her pocket. "Quarter, Robby!" Savannah yelled suddenly. 

Robin threw the quarter at the two, it almost his Steve in the face but Savannah quickly grabbed it before it could, turning and putting it in the coin slot, the three gathering around her as she was still sat crouched next to the horse.

"Daisy Bell" Began to play, Steve also listening closely. "You guys need help getting up?" Robin continued to tease. "Shh!" Steve shushed her making Dustin chuckle. "Would you two just shut up and listen?" Steve pointed to the horse.

Dustin's smiled dropped, realization clouding his face. "Holy shit. The music." He took off his backpack, grabbing the tape recorder out. Robin stared at the three clueless, confused. "The music!" He exclaimed again as he pressed play on the tape recorder.

The Russian man was heard speaking, the same song playing in the background as he did. "I don't understand." Robin shook her head. "It's the exact same song on the recording." Savannah answered. "Maybe they have horsed like this in Russia." Robin suggested. ""Indiana Flyer"? I don't... I don't think so." Steve read off the name. "This code, it.. it didn't come come Russia."

Savannah looked up at the three. "It came from here." She whispered.

"ANGEL" PLAYED FROM ELEVEN'S radio, Max jumping around in the brunette's room while El and Viola sat on Eleven's bed, looking through magazines.

Max sang along to the song. Viola smiling at the red-heads upbeat energy. Eleven bopped her head along to the beat as she turned to a page in a magazine that revealed Ralph Macchio. Viola noticed this and moved across the bed, laying her head on Eleven's shoulder, looking at the picture.
