"I'm sorry who are you?" The man asks "Erica Sinclair, who are you?" She asks "Murray....Bauman" he says, ohhhh so that's his name.
"Listen Mr. Bunman, I'm not trying to tell you how to do things but I've been down in that shithole for 24 hours" she says and I chuckle.
"And with all due respect, you do what this man tell you, you're all gonna die" she adds
Murray stares at her in disbelief " I'm sorry why is this four year old speaking to me?" He asks, sass all around.
"Um I'm ten, you bald bastard!" She yells and I burst out laughing "Erica!" Lucas scolds
"Just the facts!" She says and Murray looks at her with his jaw dropped. "She's right you're all gonna die, but you don't have to, excuse me" Dustin says
"Sorry may I?" He asks Murray "please" Murray says sarcastically letting Dustin asks grabbing the map.
He starts explaining stuff but I don't listen.
Time skip
Hopper, Joyce and Murray are getting prepared to go into the base "yep they're gonna die" Erica says "probably" I mutter.
"Wait you guys survived?" Mike asks "barley" Dustin says "we could've really used you guys down there" Dustin says "could've used you up here too" Mike says.
"Yeah man, we missed you dude" Lucas says, "Yeah big time" Will adds "I missed you too, big time" Dustin says and they have a group hug.
"Please don't cry nerds" Erica says "Erica" Lucas says "keep saying my name see what happens" she says "I like her" I say pointing to Erica.
"Hey heads up you can navigate just from somewhere safe" Hopper says and I drown the rest out.
I decide to go with the scoops troop, "oh man now this...this is what I'm talkin' about!" Steve says in love with a car.
"Toddfather?" Robin asks reading the number plate "screw Todd! Steve's her daddy now" Steve says and I wince...that was weird.
"Did you just talk about yourself in the third person?" Robin asks as we jump in the car.
"Did he just call himself daddy?" Erica asks "alright where are we going?" Steve asks "weathertop" Dustin says.
"Weathertop?" Steve asks "Just drive" Dustin says "Okay jesus!" Steve yells
The tires squeal as we drive away from the mall.
"Jesus how far is this place, man?" Steve asks "relax we're almost there" Dustin says
"Suzie must be pretty special, huh?" Robin asks "I mean if you built this thing and lugged all the way to the middle of nowhere just to talk to her?" She asks
"I mean nobody's scientifically perfect, but Suzie's about as close to being perfect as any human could possibly be" Dustin says smiling
"She sounds made up to me" Erica says "She sound made up to you?" She asks making the smile on Dustins face disappear
Dustin looks to Steve "why are you hesitating Steve?" Dustin asks angrily "I'm I'm I'm not! I'm not!" Steve yells "I think she sounds real, you know, totally, absolutely real" he adds and I chuckle
"Left turn left" Dustin says "there's not a road here" Steve says "turn left now!" Dustin yells "Jesus hang on!" Steve yells and turns the car around super fast making me get whiplash.
Steve drives through a fence and starts to drive up the hill, we all scream as we get thrown around inside the car. "Woah Henderson where are we going" Steve yells "up!" Dustin screams.
