Chapter Fourteen

The alarms went off. After Will had said those last words, the alarm went off making my heart race. "We're too late!" I heard Mike say at the end of the hall with Bob.

Mike rushed into the room. Joyce turned to him. "What's going on?"

"We're under attack," Mike explained. My eyes widen. The Demorgoron's are here. Mike grabbed the anaesthesia. "We need to make Will sleep."

"What?" Joyce asked, her eyes widening.

"He's a spy." Mike begins to explain. "If he knows where we are, so does the shadow monster."

"He's lying!" Will spat.

"He killed those soldiers." Mike pointed out. "He'll kill us, too!"

"He's lying! He's lying! He's lying! He's lying! He's lying!" Will cried out desperately. Bob and Joyce had to hold him down as he screamed. That's when we heard gunshots down the end of the hall.

"Oh, crap," I muttered. "Mike, give him the anaesthesia!"

"Those are gunshots!" Bob blurted.

"He's lying! He's lying!" Will continued to scream.

"Okay," Joyce yelled to her son. "Will, Will, listen, listen. Do you know who I am?" Will didn't answer. "Do you know who I am?"

"You're..." Will stuttered. "You're... you're Mum."

Joyce looked over at Bob. "Hold him down."

"No! No! Let go! No! No! Let me go!" Will cried out as Bob holds him down, Joyce had taken the anaesthesia from Mike and takes out the needle and then slowly puts it into her son.

"I'm sorry," Joyce sobbed as the anaesthesia kicked in, his eyes closing and he falls into a deep sleep.

That's when Hopper and Dr. Owens comes in. I looked past them as I heard a snarling, the doors were breaking down slowly. It was the Demogorgon.

"We gotta go. We gotta go." Hopper quickly said, he ran over to Will and picked him up, all of us sprinted down a hallway.

There were screams from people down the hallway, getting killed, making me want to scream so badly but I didn't, my stomach just turns and turns.

I gasped when a Demogorgon had attacked a soldier after the soldier had tried shooting him, I turned around to the sound of gunshots behind us, a soldier was shooting.

We quickly turned into another room. Dr. Owens had closed the door and locked it, Hopper had put Will down on the table.

"Oh, my God." Bob said, we all looked at the security cameras. There were a lot of Demogorgon's, on every single screen.

That's when the power turned off. "Oh, my God." Joyce whimpered. And I don't have a doubt that this entire lab's lights were shut off, too.

It's been a few minutes and the lab was completely silent, Dr. Owens had drawn us a map of what the lab's exits looked like.

"Look, this is us, and this is the nearest exit." Dr. Owens explained as Hopper shined the torch light on the map. "But even if we somehow make it there, there's no way out."

"What do you mean?" Hopper asked.

"The locks are fail secure." Dr. Owens continued.

"Fail secure?" Joyce asked from behind me.

"If there's a power outage, the building goes on lockdown." Dr. Owens explained.

"Can it be unlocked remotely?" Bob questioned.

"With a computer, sure, but somebody's gotta reset the breakers." Dr. Owens informed us.

"Where are the breakers?" I asked.

Dr. Owens looked at me. "Breaker's are in the basement." He then turned to the blueprints of the lab and showed the basement. "Three floors down."

Hopper turned on his heel to leave. "Hey, where are you going?" Bob asked him.

"To reset the breakers." Hopper said in a "duh" tone.

"Okay, then what?" Bob asked.

"Then we get the hell out of here." Hopper tells us.

"No, then the power comes back on." Bob informed him. "If you want to unlock the doors, you have to reboot the computer system, and then override the security codes with a manual input."

Hopper paused for a second. "Fine, how do I do that?"

"You can't." Bob continued. "Not unless you know BASIC."

"I don't know what that means." Hopper replied.

"It's a computer programming language," Mike explained to him.

"Teach it to me." Hopper requests.

Bob scoffed. "Shall I teach you French while I'm at it, Jim? How about a little German?" Bob turned to Dr. Owens. "How about you, Doc? You speak BASIC?"

"No." Dr. Owens sighed.

Bob scoffed again. "Okay, I got this." Bob turned to Hopper. "I got this."

"No. Bob." Joyce whimpered. She walked over to him and hugged him.

"It's okay," Bob assured her. They pulled away. "It's gonna be okay. Remember, Bob Newby, superhero."

That made me smile a little. Joyce chuckled a little. Bob and Hopper had exit to find someone so they can snatch their radios, and possibly weapons.

-

Hopper had came back, telling us Bob was all right and that he was on his way to turn the power on. Hopper had a rifle gun, he walked over to me and handed me a handgun.

"Do you know how to use a gun?" He asked me and I looked at it, before taking it.

"I mean, vaguely." I answered quickly. "Yeah."

He nods at me. "Use it."

The lights had switched on five minutes later and so did the security cameras. "He made it." Mike whispered.

Dr. Owens had gone over and turned on the radio. "Okay, Bob, can you hear us?"

"Loud and clear, Doc." Bob replied. "Can you hear me back?"

"Yeah, we hear you." Dr. Owens tells him.

"All right, give me a minute." Bob said and it went silent. It was only for a few seconds before Bob talked to us again. "Open sesame."

That's when a loud buzzer was heard. "It's open." Dr. Owens informed us.

"Easy-peasy," Bob says.

Hopper smiled. "Son of a bitch did it."

"Right, I'll meet you outside." Bob said over the radio.

"Nice job," Dr. Owens congratulated him. My face dropped when I heard a screeching sound on one of the floors. "Hold on a second, Chief."

"What's wrong?" Hopper asked, turning towards him.

"West stairwell's not clear anymore." Dr. Owens explained. I watched as the Demogorgon climbs down the stairs.

"What's going on?" Bob worried.

"We've got some company," Dr. Owens informed.

"Where?"

"The west stairwell." Dr. Owens answered.

"I got an idea." Bob tells us.

"What the hell's he doing?" Dr. Owens asked allowed, no one answered because we all had no idea what he was doing. I watched on the security camera in one of the halls' sprinklers went off, making the Demogorgon back off and ran up the stairs. "Okay, okay, that worked. Now get out of there. Go! Go!"

Hopper had picked Will up carefully and walked towards the door. "Wait a second, Chief?" Dr. Owens looked over at him.

"What?" Hopper muttered. Dr. Owens gives Hopper a radio.

"Take this." Dr. Owens tells him.

"What are you doing?" Hopper frowned.

"Any more surprises, I'll let you know." Dr. Owens gave us a smile and I realised what he was doing. He was going to guide us out of here.

My eyes widen. "Dr. Owens-"

He turned to me. "Go! Go!"

Hopper sighed and we exit, looking down the hallway, Hopper held the gun out in front as he carried Will and I held the gun out too, ready to shoot.

Joyce, Mike, and I followed Hopper. I was at the end, watching behind us. We ran out of there, we got out easy, maybe too easy but we did it. We unlocked the main doors and ran outside.

Hopper had given me Will, I gave Mike the gun and I take WIll carefully.

"It's okay, Will." I whispered to him as I carried him like a baby. "You're gonna be fine."

The sound of Joyce screaming is what made my heart leap. Another twist to the stomach. I flinched when I heard the sound of Bob scream.

Hopper had rushed in there, a few gunshots going off. "What happened?" Mike asked as soon as Joyce and Hopper came back out, Joyce looked like a mess; she was crying and screaming.

I jumped when I saw a Demogorgon crash into the glass. "He's gone! He's gone!" Hopper tells her and I knew that Bob was gone.

That's when the sound of a car honking broke my tears, Nancy and Jonathan were there. "Come on! Get in!" Jonathan yelled out.

I rushed to the car with Will, Mike was beside me and I put Will into the car, Mike climbing in as well as Joyce.

Hopper and I rushed to his car, I climbed in passenger and Hopper and I followed Jonathan out.

We stopped by the exit as a redhead girl, Lucas, Dustin, and Steve were there. "Let's go!" I quickly said, they all piled into the back, once Steve closed that door, we were off again.
