After meeting with Lucas and Dustin after school, the three headed over to Mike's house again.
Lucas and Dustin enter the other boys room with confused looks upon seeing Eleven.
"Hey guys" Rah greets a bit too cheerily for the situation, resulting in a few glares to the back of her head.
"Are you out of your mind?" Lucas questions while Mike tries to get him to listen.
"She knows about Will," Mike exclaims, catching the attention of everybody.
"Wait what?" Rah says, walking forward further into the room. "What do you mean she knows about Will?"
Mike walked over to his cabinet and held up a photo of the boys at their science fair. Nerds Rah thinks to herself,
"she pointed at him, to his picture. She knew he was missing, I could tell!" Mike defends himself.
Meanwhile the oldest girl sat down with Eleven on the bed barely hearing the boy's conversation anymore.
Suddenly Lucas was up in Els' face, too close for Rah's liking. "Step back, Lucas," She told him. He ignored her and kept yelling at Eleven, "Do you know where he is?" He shouted, shaking the girl.
"Lucas, stop" Rah reprimanded as she stood up, towering over Lucas.
"Stop it, you're scaring her" Mike told him, "she should be scared, If you know where he is tell us" Lucas told her.
At this point Eleven's eyes were tearing up which didn't go unnoticed by Rah, "This is nuts, we have to take her to your mum" Lucas exclaims.
The blonde girl sighs "Lucas no, Eleven told us that telling anyone could put us in danger" making the boy roll his eyes.
"What kind of danger?" Dustin asks while Lucas questions the girl's name.
"Mike, what kind of danger?" he asks louder this time. "Danger, danger!" Mike replies mimicking the hand movements El had shown them that morning.
This upset Lucas, who believed it was all bullshit. "We're going back to plan A, I'm telling your mom." he tells them as he walks towards the door.
Lucas grabs the door knob and opens the door but feels resistance as the door is slammed shut, trying to reopen the door the same thing occurs with the door finally locking.
They all look back to see the girl staring ahead at Lucas. "No." great.
After an awkward dinner where no one really ate anything, the boys went back down to the basement where El and Rah stayed after insisting she didn't need dinner, to get more information out of El.
El had gotten up after a while to show everyone what she knew. Walking over to the boys D&D board picking up the wizard piece. "Will," she informed everyone.
"Superpowers" Dustin said wide eyed making lucas roll his.
"Did you see him? On Mirkwood? Mike asked the girl,"Do you know where he is?"
Eleven responded by knocking everything off, flipping over the board and placing 'will' right in the centre. "I don't understand" Mike questions, Eleven then tells him that he is 'hiding' causing confusion from everyone else in the room. "Will is hiding? From who, the bad men?"
The demogorgon was then placed on the table.

The next day, after Rah stayed over at the Wheelers again for the night, burrowing clothes from Mike, they came up with a plan to go out and look for Will.
They were going through their 'supplies' which Rah didn't actually have, so couldn't really contribute.
"..from nam' and the wrist rocket!" Lucas rambles. Lucas shows off his slingshot alot.
Dustin then dumped his collection of candy down on the table earning strange looks from them all.
"Okay, let's go" Rah interrupted some more bickering. God they do that alot.
Mike quickly gave his watch to El and they ran up the stairs to go to school.
-
Rah had been walking around the school after grabbing an apple from the cafeteria for lunch, looking for the boys and trying to avoid as many conversations as she could.
Walking outside, she could hear two of the most obnoxious voices she's ever heard. As she walked further towards the voices the conversation started to become more clear,
"Probably looking for their missing friend" James' irritating voice could be heard saying. No way.
As she got even closer she had heard the whole conversation. Just as she arrived, Troy had tripped over Mike, allowing him to fall to the ground and hit his face.
"Troy!" Rah's voice urged them to turn around to her,
"here's my favourite girl" Troy smirked. Ew. Troy was about to speak again but before he could, her fist had come in contact with his face.
"You bitch" Troy spluttered out. Mike, Dustin and Lucas all stood open mouthed as they watched the scene unfold.
Rah was so high on adrenaline that she couldn't help herself and took another hit to his face.
"Rah, stop" Lucas told her as he grabbed her by the waist to try and get her to stop give Troy and James time to run off.
"That was awesome" Said Dustin, "I know" the girl replied grinning back at him.
"Hey guys, this is it" Dustin told the boys holding up a rock. "Yeah" they agreed. "The monster killer."
-
After school, they planned to go and meet Eleven near the power lines outside of Mike's house at 3.15 to look for Will.
They had agreed that Rah would go and get her bike before meeting up with them again.
Rah walked along the dirt road back to her trailer, she opened the door to let her carer know where she was and to apologise for not showing up but she wasn't home again. Oh well.
The girl ran back outside and hopped on her bike but not before grabbing her pocket knife from her room just in case she thought.
She rode back across town meeting up with the group again.
"I'm back, was I missed?" she asked, smirking. "Of course," Mike replied.
The group of kids ended up walking along an old rail line, Eleven and Mike in front and Lucas, Rah and Dustin trailing behind.
Eventually they had walked over to Will's house confusing them all. Upon arriving at Byers house, Rah's neck began to itch a little more than it was before.
"Here," Eleven said, "yeah, this is where Will lives." Mike told her but she insisted that he was 'hiding.'
"no, this is where he lives, he's missing from here, understand?" Mike tried to correct her.
"What are we doing here?" Lucas asked agitatedly, "she said she's hiding here" Mike informed him. The boys began to become upset and question El further.
"Okay, calm down guys, we'll sort it out" The girl told them.
"No, Rah, we wont so would you just shut up" "Lucas exclaimed "excuse me?" Rude.
The kids continued to argue but stopped upon hearing sirens, "oh no" Rah voiced. They all hopped onto their bikes, El riding with Rah this time and raced towards the scene.
When arriving at the quarry, Rah threw her bike onto the floor and ran up behind an ambulance, everyone following her lead.
As she looked out, bile rose in her throat and her neck ached.
"It's not Will, it can't be," Mike said, but Rah was no longer listening to what happened behind her. Her head was ringing and all she could feel was the faint sting in her wrist as she scratched at it, hard.
She couldn't stand there anymore, her feet felt light as she ran back to her bike and rode off down the road. She didn't believe it, she couldn't. There was something telling her that Will was still alive.
The ride home was never ending, all she wanted was to crawl into her bed.
Rah opened the door to her trailer expecting the smell of alcohol to hit her, but instead she was met with the side of a cold hand.
