Everyone was too concerned with the guards to notice the prisoners. Hopper managed to sneak off. Now would be his perfect chance to escape, but he'll try once again to grab the spy. He snuck around to the back of the dorm building. A hand was placed on his shoulder.
He turned around and saw Joyce. Eleven, Max, and Jonathan were close behind her. "Joyce, what are you doing here?" Hopper asked. This must be a dream. The people who ran the prison had faked his death.
"I saw you here," Eleven said. "Through the Upside-Down."
"We're sorry that we couldn't get here earlier," Joyce said. Eleven hugged her father, and Hopper returned the favor. "El lost her powers, so she couldn't access the Upside-Down. We're here now, and we need to run before they notice your missing."
"Hold on," Hopper said, letting go. "I know a guard here. He was easy to get information out of. He says they have a spy they're sending into the Upside-Down. I think it's someone like Eleven. I can't in good conscience leave them here."
They have a spy. That was the part that stuck with Eleven. Dr. Brenner often called her the spy. She shuddered as she remembered those days. She couldn't leave someone here who's going through the same thing. "But they'll catch us," Jonathan protested.
"Everyone is preoccupied," Hopper said. "If we're fast, we can grab them."
"Let's do this," Eleven said.
Word of what happened upstairs got to the lower level quickly. "We're going to need to move camp," Grigori announced. "There's a second location. Grab as many prisoners as possible, but most importantly, grab the spy."
Grigori walked into his office. He grabbed a file. This was what he has been working on for three years. He couldn't let this go to waste. Now that he had the perfect spy, there was no stopping him.
