"Damn, it's my brother." Max glanced out the window and saw the familiar car coming this way with its headlights on. It stood out in the dark.
She added: "If he finds me here, I will die... We're all going to die."
Steve frowned, patted Key on the shoulder and straightened up. He motioned to the others not to follow him and to stay inside.
As soon as Steve left the house, the kids pulled Key under the window and looked out.
"Bitchin."
They all turned to look at Key. That's what she said with Eight. That's how Eight once described the blond nurse to her.
"No, he is simply cheap." Max corrects her.
"Not to mention violent. He's a psychopath." Lucas is on his side.
Dustin in the back pursed his mouth in disapproval.
When Key doesn't respond, Max turns to her and says, "I'm Max, and this is Mike, Lucas, Dustin." She introduced her one by one by name.
Outside the door, Steve finally said forcefully, "I told you, she's not here."
Billy took a deep drag on his cigarette, threw the cigarette end on the ground, and pointed to the window: "Then who is that?"
Steve turned around and saw five people leaning over the window, even talking to each other.
Mike sees the looks of the two men outside and pokes Max in the waist with his elbow. Other people react, "swish" squat.
But it was too late. Billy pushed Steve to the ground and walked in.
Max pulled the four of them into the far corner of the room and tried to cover them with his body. "He came for me. It was enough to leave me outside."
Before anyone else had time to agree or disagree, Billy had arrived.
"Look who it is?" He's getting closer to Max.
Billy seems to be targeting Lucas. As he was about to jump on him Steve punched him hard in the face from behind.
This completely angered Billy, and soon the two men were scuffling.
Billy held Steve down, took an empty bottle out of the cupboard behind him, and raised it. Key is quick to react. She doesn't care if Steve has offended her. She just thinks Billy's appearance is more frightening, and Steve looks like he is trying to protect the children in the room.
The bottle exploded just as it was about to hit Steve on the head, but Steve was not hurt, just cut slightly on his face by the debris. Billy stared at his hand still holding the bottleneck. At this point Steve went up and punched him again. After Billy reacted, he pressed Steve's arm directly with the sharp Angle of the broken neck and scraped down a blood mark.
When Key wants to use the power again, Max is the first to pick up the injection that he just inserted Will into Billy's neck. Billy vaguely touched his neck, his body went soft, and he fell to the ground. Key's eyes widened. It was the first time she'd seen anything other than herself pricked and sedated.
"From now on, you stay away from me and my friends, understand?" Max picked up Steve's mace again and said bitterly.
Billy retorted, "Fuck you."
Max also did not show weakness, mace smashed between his legs, for which Billy specially looked up and cared about himself. Max said at the top of his lungs, "Say you understand! Speak quickly!"
Max unlocks Billy's car keys, "Let's go."
Several people helped Steve out of the room. Dustin looked at Steve, who looked a little older than he was, and cleared his throat. "Can you drive?" he asked without hope.
Key shook his head impassively. Lucas turns away and whispers to Mike, "I bet she doesn't even know what a car is, just like El did when she got here."
"Don't bother me, I'll drive." Max naturally pulls open the driver's door and starts the car with the key.
Surprised, Dustin asked, "Can you drive?"
"I've driven before," Max said as he strapped on his seat belt. Are you coming or not?" Key didn't know how many times he had seen this look of fascination on the face of the boy in the hat named Dustin.
The three boys grabbed Steve's car door and sat down. Five people were just sitting there, and they looked back awkwardly at Key. Key motioned for Dustin to come down first, and then she gently squeezed over and curled up at Steve's feet in the small space between the two seats in a row.
Steve was knocked out of his mind by Billy and felt like he was shaking in the limo and wanted to throw up. He felt an itch on his arm, and when he tried to scratch it, he was stopped. To his right, he saw Dustin talking to him and thinking, "SHH, don't touch the wound." He nodded obediently. Suddenly, Steve realized he was hurt like that. Who was driving the car?
First he looked up at Max in the driver's seat and started screaming.
"Oh no, no, no, no, no!
Then he noticed the tiny figure sitting in front of him and almost fainted again. Not only driving without a license, but also overloading violates traffic rules. Even! What a scary place to sit!
The backseat began to stir.
Max couldn't help Shouting back, "Shut up! I want to focus on driving!"
Lucas has been guiding Max to its destination. After stopping the car, the children quickly rushed out of the car and slipped out of the cab with Key. Steve staggered out of the car and leaned against the door, trying to vomit but unable to. "Are you serious?" He looked at everyone busy figure asked. No one had time to talk to him. Max takes out his own gear, weighs it, looks at Key again and says, "Are you sure you're coming with us?" You are so thin and have no shoes."
Key nodded. "I'm going to help Eleven."
Knowing this, Max turned to face the boys and said, "Come on gentlemen, let's get some gear out together!"
When the boys heard this, they all unloaded some of their gear and handed it to Key. Dustin also came up to Steve with mace and held it out, saying, "Didn't you say you were going to protect us? It's time to live up to that promise." Steve reluctantly took the mace, looked at the team ready to go, looked at the huge dark hole, and sighed: "Why on earth did I come to be this nanny?"
Key is the last one down the aisle because Max thinks she's not wearing shoes and that someone strong needs to catch her down there to be safe. "That's what I think. If she cuts her foot, maybe the smell of blood will attract all the evil dogs inside, and then we will suffer!" Lucas agreed. Max elbowed him hard in the back. Steve turned over his hand to see who was more serious, and when he looked up, he saw four kids staring at him -- "Are you going to let me take it?"
"Do you have anyone better?" Dustin laughed. Not only was poor Steve injured, he had to go into an underground tunnel where the monster dogs were hiding to protect a bunch of children, and he had to use his broken arm to keep an eye on another, slightly older girl - perhaps later he had to watch out for her bare feet getting cut in the dark.
Key saw his reluctance and said, "I might as well go down myself." I think I can handle... if any of those things are drawn to me What the hell is a demon dog?"
"The kind with a flower on its head like a dog, I combine 'demon king' and 'dog'..." Dustin said excitedly to Key. Steve interrupted and said, "Does it matter? Do we have to explain it again?"
Dustin shrank back. Steve looked up and held out Key's hand, which wasn't much hurt, and said, "Don't worry, that won't happen." Max chimed in: "We wouldn't leave you if that happened. We're a team." She winks at Mike, who shakes his head and agrees. "We're a team. The three of us, Max, Steve and you."
Key was silent for a moment. He didn't say anything, nor did he nod or shake his head. He just bent down and put his hand in Steve's hand and jumped down. Steve duly put his other hand around her waist and gently let her foot fall on the ground before releasing his hand.
The whole crew is here. Mike tried to lead the way when Steve snatched the map in the name of "protection". Everyone followed Steve with flashlights and headed for the center.
From finding the center to burning the center it was a smooth ride. Only to meet Dart, Dustin's former pet, on the way back. Thanks to the fact that the demon dog not only looks like a dog, but also has some dog attributes, Dustin distracts his attention with a piece of nougat. When everyone had passed the short distance, Dustin finally looked back at his little pet and said goodbye.
At last they reached the mouth of the cave, and were just about to climb out when they heard rapid footsteps coming from the tunnel. They realized it was the demon dog on its way.
'Quick, quick! Steve urged as he lifted the children up until he and Key were alone. Then they saw the shadow of the demon dog coming closer and closer on the opposite wall. Steve quickly picks Key up, but this time both men are so flustered that Key loses his grip on the rope and falls to the ground. The top four kept urging them, but it seemed to be too late, the demon dog was already running towards them from around the corner. Steve grabbed Key and put him behind him. Key peered out from the side and saw the dog coming in front of her. She held out a hand. Mike, Lucas, and Dustin see this and realize what it means. Key screams, and the dogs break into pieces. At this point Steve turned and picked up Key, and the two climbed out together.
They fell to the ground. 'Look! Mike beckon everyone around and they look down the hole. The few surviving dogs are still running down the tunnel. "It's Eleven." Mike reacts. This direction is the lab. Eleven is closing.
