While the other four bribed Erica, Daphne changed from an orange shirt into an red shirt, still wearing her mom jeans and sneakers. They were in the back room explaining everything to Erica. Daphne tried communicating with Will and try to play D&D but never heard back.

"Alright. This route, is the route you're gonna take. From scoops to there. Then we wait for the last delivery tonight, and then you knock out the grate, jump down, and open the door" Robin explained

"Then you find out what's in those boxes?" Erica sassed

"Exactly" Daphne confirmed

"And you say this guard is armed?" Erica asked

"Yes, but he won't be there" Dustin confirmed

"And booby traps?" Erica asked

"Booby traps?" Robin repeated, confused

"Lasers? Spikes in the walls?" Erica continued

Robin and Daphne laughed

"You know what this half-baked plan sounds like to me? Child endangerment" Erica sassed towards Dustin

"We'll be in radio contact with you the whole time-" Robin began

Erica waved his finger at her

"Child endangerment" She repeated

"Erica, hi. We think these Russians want to do harm to our country. Great harm, don't you love your country?" Dustin asked

"You can't spell 'America' without 'Erica'" The girl sassed as she drank her milkshake

Dustin was confused

"Uh, yeah. Oddly that's true. So don't do this for us, do this for your country, for your fellow man. For this for America, Erica" Dustin spoke

"Ooh! I just got the chills!" Erica said

She smiled at Dustin

"Oh yeah, from this float, not your speech" She added

Daphne held in her laugh

"You know what I love the most about this country? Capitalism- do you know what capitalism is?" Erica asked

"Yeah" Robin, Dustin, and Steve answered

"No" Daphne announced

"It means, this is a free market system. Which means people get paid for their services, depending on how valuable their conditions are, and it seems to me. My ability to fit into that little vent, is very, very valuable to you all. So, this USS Butterscotch, better be the first of many, and I'm talking free ice cream. For life" Erica spoke

After closing time. Daphne, Steve, Dustin, and Robin were on the roof while Erica was climbing trough the vents.

"We're all good here, you've got the green light" Robin spoke into the walkie

"Green light. Roger that" Erica replied

Daphne was munching on a bag of fruit snacks

"Operation, child endangerment" Erica added

"Can we maybe not call it that?" Robin asked

"See you on the other side, nerds" Erica responded

About thirty or so minutes go by.

"Alright nerds, I'm here" Erica announced

"Do you see anything?" Daphne asked

"Yeah, I see those boring boxes you guys are so excited about" Erica sassed

"Any guards?" Daphne asked

"Negative" Erica replied

"Booby traps?" She asked

"If there were, they'd be pretty shit traps" Erica sassed

Daphne passed the walkie to Robin

"Thank you for that" Robin said

"I'm in" Erica announced

"Oh god" Steve gasps, running his hands through his hair

A couple minutes go by, Erica finally opened the door

"Free ice cream for life" Erica announced

They ran down to the room, the door closed behind them. Steve opened a box, revealing a container with a twist handle to open it.

"I gotta tell them" Hopper said

"Tell who what?" Joyce asked

"Steve needs to know who Daphne really is, I have it all here on a piece of paper. Once I see them, I'm telling them. They deserve to know" Hopper explained

Steve was going to open the container.

"Maybe you guys should just step back" Steve suggested

Robin and Erica moved back except for Daphne and Dustin

"No" They said

"Seriously, step back" Steve protested

"No" Daphne said

"If you die, I die" Dustin said

The three stared at each other, Steve awkwardly looked at Dustin who seemed to be awkward too, Daphne had a determined stare.

"Alright" Steve sighed

Steve opened the container and revealed a green liquid inside another clear container. Daphne took out her walkie that Will gifted her

"Will, this is Daphne. Do you copy? Over" She spoke

No one replied, the room moved.

"Is it just me or did the room just move?" Dustin asked

"No.. I'm pretty sure it did" Robin replied

"Let's just grab that thing and go" Daphne said

Dustin moved to the control buttons and pushed them

"Which one do I press Erica?" he asked

"Just press the damn button nerd" she replied

"Which one?! I'm pressing the button Erica!" He yelled

"Press open door!" She yelled

"Daphne, this would be a pretty good time to use your powers!" Robin panicked

Daphne concentrated on the door hoping to open it but she couldn't and wiped her nose. Everyone except Robin and Daphne we're pressing the buttons and yelling until there was a huge clang causing a sliding door with two red stripes slide down blocking the exit, they all looked around when suddenly, they dropped.
