We arrived at so-called friend of Hopper's house in Illinois. "Yup this is it" Hopper commented.
Then, we got off from the car to buzz the bell at the front door.

*buzzed*
"Look at the camera" the voice from the speaker said out of nowhere . We took a glance at the camera . Joyce waving at it and so the voice continued "Identify yourself".

Hop approved " Jim Hopper , Joyce Byers , Kimberly Gray and Smirnoff". I whispered "no it's Alexei" to Hopper as he quickly continued "I mean Alexei"
"Surname!" The voice from the speaker said aloud.
"Yeah I told..I don't know ok?! Just OPEN the damn door!!!" Hopper furiously shouted back.Then the voice went silent. "so are we good now?" I questioned to Hop and Joyce.
Suddenly, a door opened revealing a man who was holding a shot gun at Alexei. "Surname" he commanded.

" shit !!" I cursed and quickly stood in front of Alexei, just a few inches from the gun in front of my face.
I could hear Alexei muttering something to that man but impressively he replied Alexei in Russian as well.
Then, the man turned at me and said " oooh your sweet Russian boyfriend here just warned me not to hurt you . You must be Kimberly Gray... the former prom queen of The Hawkins High school , you look prettier than in the photos. I'm Murray Bauman"
How the heck does a complete stranger knew who I am?
While I was in total blank of how he knew me , he greeted Hopper "Hi Jim" - We four entered his house greeted by The music he has been listening to.
"Wait!" Murray ordered us as he took out his some kind of magnetic detecter from the cardboard and started scanning Alexei.
"How long is it gonna take? " Hopper questioned.
"You do not question me here! Because you just brought an enemy out of state into my house!" he yelled back.
Joyce pulled Hopper aside while I was standing right beside Alexei.
"Do you even need to do this? He's obviously unarmed"
"Silent, Ms.Popular, don't worry about your boyfriend , I'm trying to concentrate here" I annoyingly blurred "urgh stop calling him that , He is not my boyfriend".
He smirked "we'll see about that" which made me narrow my eyes at him.
Joyce stormed to us and started yelling at Murray to stop doing this unnecessary thing. I nearly dropped my jaw because it's my first time seeing Mrs.Byers being a bad-ass. It even made Murray and Hopper impressed as well. - - "Okay so he said he'll tell us what the Russians are up to if we buy him a Cherry Slurpee and a Burger King" Murray informed us.
Joyce eyes widen and hopper rubbed his temple.
"Not a big deal, I'll just go get em' " I told them. But Hopper sighed " You can't go Kim, that psycho man's still out there looking for us, I will go".
Soon after Hopper left, we told Murray about what happened to us and how we have been chased by a gigantic man. But thankfully, He agreed to help us.
Waiting for hopper who has been out for like 30 mins, I sat beside Alexei who smiled at me and grabbed my hand.
"You want me to translate?" Murray asked.
"Yes please"
"Go on"
"I umm.. please tell him that everything will be alright soon and that I will always be there for him no matter what "
Murray nodded and translated back to Alexei who seemed to be paying fully attention of what murray's saying
Alexei replied as Murray translated.
" he firstly thanked you for being with him and protecting him . and eventhough he has been kidnapped , he feels safe with you"
"Don't worry" i added as I squeezed his warm hand, looking deeply into his sweet innocent eyes. - starting to get emotional while writing the scene above :((
