CHAPTER NINE :

We steal neighbor's car, of course.

The decision of seven friends is unanimous.
Today, they decided to fight Vecna. But before that, there will be some things that will be prepared.

They have to buy guns.

So early in the morning on Monday, everyone gathered at Max's house.
"We have to buy weapons."

"What do you think? Maybe later they will think what the hell is this kid doing."

Everyone seemed silent for a moment, until finally Robin spoke.
"As far as I know, there is a shop that sells illegal weapons. But it's very far from here."

"How far?" Steve asked and Robin just shrugged her shoulders. "So far we'll have to use a car or something."

Max frowned. "Car?"
Robin nodded and Twelve on the other side said. "But nobody has a car here."

Max smirking.
"But what if there is?"
"We can steal the neighbor's van."

Everyone looked at each other.
At first Steve responded,
"No, that's impossible."

"No, that's a very good idea." replied Nancy.

Dustin raised his hands with a big smile on his face.
"THAT'S CRAZY! LET'S DO IT!"

"LETS GO."
Max finally came out first from her house and was followed by her other friends. "This is a crazy idea, kiddos." Steve said, only to be answered with laughter from Max.

Max demands that they hide in a part of her house.
"Look there, we stole that guy's car." She said pointing to one of the vans used for selling.

Mike with a surprised face said.
"That's a tavern, how come?"

Max rolled her eyes then turned to Mike.
"Anything could happennn!!!" She said through clenched teeth.

Jonathan exhaled then looked at this group of 12 people.
"Uhm.. but bringing a group of people like this is out of the question, Max."

Lucas frowned narrowing his eyes at the few men sitting near the van.
"Wait, are they thugs?!"

Max just silently nodded.
"Then, how?"

"I have an idea." Nancy said.
"I will deal with them."

"No, Nance. It's dangerous."

"Come on, Mike. I've learned a lot about martial arts."

"I'm coming with you." Robin said and Nancy nodded.

"Me too." Jonathan answered from behind.

Everyone fell silent.
"Oh, I'll be coming too."

Nancy turned to Steve "Then who will drive the car?"

Max smiled crookedly.
"Me."

Everyone finally agreed, because Max Mayfield or Maxine Mayfield also MADMAX is their Zoomer.

The seven high school teenagers finally sneaked around without being noticed by the group of drunken thugs.

"Where are the car keys?"

"Wait."

DRRTTT

After the cabin in the car was tampered with by Lucas, the car could start without a key.

Max gave a big laugh.
"Oh wahh, How did you do it?"

Lucas smiled. "Because I am the Ranger. "

Max just smiled and raised her eyebrows then stepped on the gas of the van.
"Here we go."

"WOOHOOO! I MISS THIS." Said Max after the car is finally started.

When the car moved, in an instant the three thugs stood up in surprise.
"THE CAR!"

"CHASE THEM!"

BROUGH

"HEY, YOU!"

The three of them couldn't hold Max who was already driving the car, because they were stopped by Nancy and Jonathan who were hitting their heads. "Fight me, bitches."

On the other hand in the van, after being quite far from the previous place.
Max drove in the front with Lucas and Will sat in the front, and the other four in the back.

"You stole the car with house, Max." Eleven said.

"Haha, absolutely!"

Twelve, who had been silent for a while, finally spoke,
"I'm sure this is stolen by the thugs earlier too."

Dustin in front of Twelve who heard her words laughed instantly. "HAHA, where did you come to think like that?"

"Erica."

"Ouhh, Lucasss." Said Eleven teasing her best friend after Twelve's answer.

Lucas just rolled his eyes in resignation.
"I will advise that shit girl later."

"I just found out Erica is capable of being given advice." Will said teasing him.

"Stop, Will."

While the rest of his friends were joking, it was as if Dustin was a communications operator holding a walkie talkie to his mouth.

"Hey, Steve. Are you there?"
"Do you copy?"

There was no answer from Steve, which made all of his friends pay attention to Dustin.
"Steve, answer if you copy!"
"Stev--"

"Copy."

Dustin grinned when he heard Steve's answer on the walkie talkie.

"Steve, how was it? You guys did it? Over." Ask Dustin.

"Uhm..y-yes.."
"Over."

Dustin frowned at his friends when he heard Steve's hesitant answer. He glanced at the walkie talkie in his hand again.
"Why do you seem hesitant?"
"Over."

On the other side of the walkie talkie, Robin answered Dustin's question. "We're in a bit of trouble here, dude!"

"What is the problem?"
"Say Over when you're done talking. OVER."

"No vehicles here. Over."

Dustin snorted closing his eyes after hearing that answer. Then Mike who was sitting next to him said, "Give it to me."

When the black walkie talkie was in his hand, Mike said again. "Hey, Nance, you there? Over."

"I'm here, Over."

"Good.
Nance, you can go to my house and put on my bike. Over."

Nance frowned.
"What about the others here?
Over."

Mike breathed a little annoyed.
"Take Lucas, Will and Dustin's bike too! Over."

Together afterwards, Lucas, Mike, Dustin and Will smiled at each other.

"Uhm, alright. Thank you!"
"Over and o--"

"Wait!"
"Give me the walkie talkie." Max said to Mike then he threw the walkie talkie a little.

"Robin, can you give me directions to the gun shop?" Said Max.
"Over."

"Yes, of course." Robin replied.
"That's about 3kilometers south of your school. Over."

"Wait, Hawkins High School?!"

"Yes, Max. Over."

Max nodded in understanding.
"Okay, thanks. Over and out."
