The Spy

Lyn park Darling beside Steve's BMW in her driveway. Lyn got out of her car and made her way over to Dustin and Steve. They were looking into BMW's trunk that had the bat with nails in it. "This isn't some dumb prank it is, Lyn? I got things to do today." Steve turns to her. He felt his heart pounding in his chest. Even though he would act upset if it was a prank, it what he was hoping for.

"I wish it was, Steve." She reaches in and grabs the red flashlight that was in his car. She went into the garage to grab the weapons she gathers up. She passes the crowbar to Dustin. She kept the hairspray and lighter to herself. "You said you guys killed the last one with fire, right?" She shows Steve what she had in her hands.

"Yeah," He nods weakly. He grabs the bat from his car and closes the trunk.

Dustin went into the garage to grab his headset and walkie. "Alright, let go." He put it on as he walks to the backyard where the cellar is. Steve grabs the flashlight from Lyn to walk in front of them. He turns on the flashlight so they could see better, some much time had passed that it was now dark. The unknown around them was making everyone anxious.

Steve walks over to the cellar with Lyn and Dustin right behind him. Steve pokes the cellar's door with the bat to see if Dart would react. When he didn't, he slams the bat down on it. "I don't hear shit." He turns towards them.

"He's in there." Dustin nod to the cellar.

Steve lifted the flashlight up to shine it in his face. "All right, listen, kid. I swear if this is some sort of Halloween prank, you're dead."

"It's not." Dustin glares at the stubborn teen with squinted eyes.

"Alright?" He shrugs sarcastically.

"Stop acting likes a douche bag because you're heartbroken. It's not a prank. We all wish we were doing something else right now. I would rather be doing homework or picking up a shift. Dustin would rather be hanging out with his friends. You would rather be making up with Nancy. But, we have more important matters to take care of." Lyn snaps. If Steve treated this like it was a game, he was going to die when those doors open.

"Alright," He nods his head. This being real was a hard pill to swallow.

"Can you get it out of my face?" Dustin put his hand up to block the light that was starting to hurt his eyes.

"You got a key for this thing?" He puts the light on the cellar. Lyn grabs the keys from her back pocket and hands it to him. He gave the flashlight to Dustin. He bent down and unlocks the cellar and opens the doors slowly. Lyn had the lighter and hair spray in hand ready to light Dart up if needed. But, nothing came running out at them. "Let me see that." He grabs the flashlight back from Dustin and shines it down into the cellar.

Everywhere Steve could shine the light there was no sign of anything living. "He must be further down there. I'll stay up here in case he tries to escape." Dustin said making Steve look back at him and shake his head.

"I'll go down with you." Lyn offers.

"No, you stay up here. The fewer bodies down there, the less error for confusion there be." Steve stood up. Dustin and Lyn held hands as he walks down the stairs. Soon he was out of the sights and all they could do is strain to hear what was going on.

A few minutes pass with the silent cellar. "Steve? Steve, what's going on down there?" Lyn calls for her friend.

Dustin and Lyn jump when the light flashes up at them. "Get down here." He orders. They slowly walk down the steps.

Lyn grimaced when Steve held up a Dart's shed skin with his bat. "Oh, shit." Dustin gasps when he realizes that meant Dart got bigger.

Steve flashes his light over to the giant hole in the wall. "Oh, shit!" The Henderson sibling yells as they ran over there to inspect the wall. He shines the light to show that the tunnel that Dart dug seems to be endless.
