THE MALL HAD FINALLY CLOSED FOR THE DAY and that meant they could put their plan into action. It was thundering outside, with the rain drizzling down which caused it to appear to be even darker in the mall than it usually was. They were currently hiding out on the roof with Anna in the middle of Robin and Steve, and Dustin at the end of Steve. Robin pointed out the brands name, "Look for Imperial Panda and Kaufman Shoes."

A man started whistling, gaining Dustin's attention. "They're with that whistling guy, ten o'clock."

"What do you think's in there?" Steve asked the question they had all been thinking.

"Guns, bombs?" Dustin assumed but Anna chuckled.

"No way, it's going to be some crazy things."

Robin then guessed. "Chemical weapons?"

"Whatever it is, they're armed to the teeth." Dustin groaned, spotting the machine guns that the guards were holding close to them.

Steve rubbed his eyes, his hair was drenched wet along with the rest of his clothes. "Great. That's great."

"What's in there?" Anna questioned, pointing to the metal door that had just opened.

Dustin peered through his binoculars. "It's just more boxes."

Steve grabbed them off him, which now seemed to be some sort of game between the two of them. "Let me check it out."

"No, I'm still looking." Dustin refused to hand them over, causing a tug of war over the binoculars.

"Lemme see it." Steve tugged harder, "Hang on!" The binoculars fell, causing a bang and for Dustin to tell them too duck, which no one second guessed. They hid behind the roof, and that's when Anna noticed that her and Steve were holding hands tightly. Meanwhile, the guards were searching for what caused it as Anna translated what one of them said.

"He's coming up here." She whispered to them, which made them quickly hide again and get off the roof.

They wandered through a long corridor as Robin said to Steve, "Well, I think we found your Russians."

Anastasia woke up that morning to see that Eleven was sleeping over at Max's, and had also broken up with Mike. She expected to just see Hopper when she got out of bed, but when she saw a badly beaten up Hopper, with Joyce practically nursing back him back to health, she knew that they had been up to no good.

"What's happened, Joyce?" Anna whispered to her, afraid of waking him up.

Joyce rubbed her back soothingly. "He's fine, he got into a little fight but everything is okay."
