"Yeah, I don't know" she said

"You don't know if you can fit?" Alex asked her

"Oh I can fit. I just don't know if I want to."

"Are you claustrophobic?" Robin asked her

She just chuckled and said " I don't have phobias. The problem is I still haven't heard what's in this. for. Erica.

Steve just sighed tiredly

After several several ice cream sundaes and Erica roasting them several times she agreed only with a life supply of free ice cream

We all waited until it was dark and the mall was close to shutting down.

"Hey Alex I never got to thank you for checking up on me when the others all ditched." Dustin told him

"Hey, your my family alright and just because they didn't stay with you at the hill doesn't mean we don't care we missed you man." Alex told him. And Dustin smiled back appreciated because Alex never normally shows his sentimental side.

"Erica do you copy?" Robin asked her

"Mm-hmm I copy, you nerds in position or what?"

"Yeah, we're in position."

"It's all quiet here so you got the green light." Robin whispered

"Green light tiger that, commence operation child endangerment." Said Erica as she climbed into the vent

"Can't we maybe not call it that"

"See you on the other side, nerds"

————————

"Alright nerds I'm there"

"Do you- do you wee anything?"  Robin asked her

"Yeah i see those boring boxes you're so excited about" said Erica

"Any guards?" Alex asked her

"Negative." She replied

"Booby traps?" Steve asked

Now frustrated with the questioning she said
"If I could see them they'd be pretty shit traps, wouldn't they?"

"Thank you for that" Dustin told her

"Anytime" she said sarcastically

Alex ran his hand through his hair Erica was a piece of work. She pressed the blue button and the door opened.

The four of them on the rooftop smiled

"Remember free ice cream for life"

They four all rushed into the room and opened one of the boxes

"That's definitely not Chinese food" Steve told them lol I'm st the cold air hissing around the metal

"Maybe you guys should, you know, stand back"

Alex and Dustin stood firm in there positions next to Steve while Erica and Robin moved back.

Steve rolled his eyes at the two boys and proceeded to open the box knowing they wouldn't budge.

In one of the cylinder containers was a green sparky substance. It looked like it was moving

"What is that?" Robin asked confused

Suddenly a jolt was heard around them the room shaking

"Is it just me or did the room move?" Alex asked them all

"Booby traps" Erica whispered

Robin snatched the cylinder out of Steve's hand "let's just grab this and go" she said not wanting to stay here any longer

"Uh Erica which button should I press?" Dustin asked worriedly spamming the open button

"Just press the damn button, nerd"

But nothing was working Alex began to shout at the incompetent boys who were continuously spamming the open door button

Robin and Erica began to argue as well and then the room began to drop.

"Guys u think this is an elevator!" Alex shouted to them all

The room began to rumble as well

"We're gonna die" Dustin screamed at the top of his lungs also hyperventilating

Erica was telling him to shut up while Steve was still spamming the button.

"Guys shut up someone may here us!" Alex scolded them and they all began to quiet down

All of a sudden the elevator came to a halt

"Where the fuck are we?" Alex asked
