He repeated this schedule for what he assumed was six days, at least, he slept six more times.

"Here is your breakfast."

"Am I getting out today?"

"Sadly, no, you haven't met the requirements to be called 'healthy'."

"But you said that I would only be here for a week."

"Yes, but I didn't assume that it would take this long to recover."

"Do I have any choice in the matter?"

"Sorry, but no."

So, he ate his breakfast

He wanted to use his abilities to call someone for help, but he knew that there were signs of using them that he couldn't get away with, he would be locked up, put in maximum security.

But if he did, he might be able to call El for help, she could come, or maybe he could use his powers to escape.

Maybe, but not right now, maybe after dinner.

He continued his normal day which consisted of sitting around, being seen by another specialist, and eating.

When he was supposed to be sleeping, he tried to contact El, making sure to face away from the camera.

"El, if you can hear me, help, I'm trapped in the lab, get the chief or someone and please help."

And he fell asleep

"El, if you can hear me, help, I'm trapped in the lab, get the chief or someone and please help."

That's what she heard when she was heading over to Will's house

"Mike?"

"What'd you say El?" Will asked

"I, I think it was Mike."

"What about him?"

"He said he was in the lab."

He stopped his bike

"What? When did you talk?"

"I Don't know how, but I heard him, in my head."

"El, this is big news. But what if you're just imagining it?"

"No, it was Mike."

"Ok, we have to tell Hop."

They got to Will's house

"Chief!"

"What do you want kid?"

"We think we know where he is!" Said Will

"Who?"

"Mike!"

He stopped for a second

"Where?"

"We think he's at Hawkins lab."

"What, Why?"

"El said she heard him."

"El?"

"I heard him, in my head, I don't know how."

"Ok, fine, if he's in there, how do we get him out? They made it an even bigger fortress."

"We don't know."

"Ok, tonight we will go to the woods near the lab, and try to get him out. Got it?"

"Yes."

'Don't worry Mike, we'll get you out.' She thought

We'll get you out
