SIX

Steve lifted up the boot of his car and pulled out his iconic baseball bat.

The three stood right by the basement where Dart was in.

''I don't hear shit.'' Steve muttered in disbelief.

''He's in there.'' Dustin assured him.

''Promise.'' Tara added.

''Yeah, I don't do pinky finger promises. I swear if this is some sort of Halloween prank, you're dead.'' Steve threatened to which Tara glared at him for.

''It's not a prank.'' Dustin said.

Steve opened up the door of the basement.

''I'll stay up here in case he tries to... escape.'' Dustin said as Tara backed up with him.

Steve sighed before entering the basement.

''Steve?'' Dustin called nervously.

Steve flashed the flashlight up at their faces.

Tara winced in surprise.

''Get down here.'' Steve said.

Dustin and Tara made their way down to the basement. To their surprise, Dart was gone.

On the end of Steve's baseball bat, was Dart's skin. He had grew again.

''Oh, shit!'' Dustin cursed.

Dart had also broke a hole in the wall and escaped through there.

''No way,'' Dustin mumbled in surprise.

The next morning, Dustin and Tara were still with Steve.

''Dustin!'' Lucas frantically said from the walkie. ''This is Lucas. Do you copy? Dustin?''

''Well well well, look who it is.'' Dustin teased with an annoyed smirk.

''Sorry man. My stupid sister turned it off.'' Lucas explained.

''While you were having sister problems, Dart grew again, he escaped and I'm pretty sure he's a baby Demogorgon.'' Dustin said.

''Wait. What?'' Lucas asked.

''I'll explain later. Meet me, Tara and Steve at the old junkyard.'' Dustin said. ''And bring your binoculars and wrist rocket.''

''Steve? Steve Harrington?'' Lucas exclaimed in shock.

''Just be there stat! Over and out.'' Dustin said.

It took a while but they made it to the junkyard.

''Oh yeah. This'll do.'' Steve said with a proud smile.

''I said medium well!'' Lucas yelled at them.

The three looked over and saw Lucas, alongside him was Max.

Tara waved at them with a smile.

''Who's that?'' Steve asked.

''Max.'' Tara explained. ''Zoomer.''

''Uh- Okay.'' Steve furrowed his eyebrows in confusion but simply shook it off.

''You told her?'' Dustin exclaimed in shock.

''So what?'' Lucas shrugged. ''You wanted to tell her too.''

''Yeah but I didn't. We all agreed not to tell her and to look for Dart.'' Dustin reminded him.

''Who you conveniently found.'' Lucas said.

Tara opened her mouth to say something but Dustin held his hand over her mouth, so she wouldn't spill about Dart.
