18} Bath Time!

                                    

                                          
    Jenna spilled about the boys and her finding Eleven in the woods; how she had mind powers, how she was living in Mike's basement, and what she'd done to Troy. This sent Hopper into a tangent about how she should've talked to him about this sooner and blah blah blah. 
Eventually, he gathered everyone into the car and took them to spy on the government people at the Wheeler household. One man came out with a box from their basement and loaded it into his trunk. Hopper just stood near his car looking at the scene unfolding in front of him through a pair of binoculars. 
"I have to go home," Nancy said.
"No," Hop told her, "You can't."
"My mom..." Nancy pointed out, "my dad are there."
"They're gonna be okay," Hopper told her. 
Nancy started to storm towards her house but Hopper followed behind her and grabbed her arm.
"Let go," She told him, "Let go!"
"Hey!" He said back, "Listen to me. Listen to me. The last thing in the world we need is them knowing you're mixed up in all this."
"Mike is over there-" Nancy told him in distress.
"They haven't found him," Jenna yelled over, "Not yet, at least." She pointed over in the sky where a helicopter was searching off in the distance. Hopper grabbed Nancy again and dragged her back into the car.
"Look," Hopper said, "we need to find them before they do. Do you have any idea where they might have gone?"
"No, I don't," Nancy responded.
"What we need right now is a walkie-talkie," Jenna said to the group, "I normally have one on me, but grabbing it wasn't my top concern earlier. There are a couple places they might have gone, but they're scattered all over town and would take ages to search all of them. So, what we really, really need... is a walkie-talkie."
 "Wait," Jon said to Jenna, "I think I can help with getting you that walkie-talkie."

They whipped into the Byers' driveway and scrambled out of the car to go hunting for Will's walkie-talkie somewhere in the house. When they walked in, Nancy was stunned at how disheveled the place had gotten, but Jenna kinda just expected it and kept on moving. They looked through Will's room and eventually, Joyce found it. 
She handed it to Nancy, who held her shaking hand down on the button and asked through it, "Mike, are you there? Mike? Mike, it's me, Nancy. Mike, are you there? Answer. Mike, we need you to answer. This is an emergency. Mike. Do you copy? Mike, do you copy? I need you to answer. We need to know that you're there, Mike."
Hopper got fed up with them not responding to Nancy, so he grabbed the walkie-talkie from her and said, himself, "Listen, kid, this is the chief. If you're there, pick up. We know you're in trouble and we know about the girl. We can protect you, we can help you, but you gotta pick up. Are you there? Do you copy? Over."
"Just give me the damn thing!" Jenna finally yelled in frustration, "They're my fucking children and I know how to talk with them so give me the walkie-talkie before we loose them."
Everyone looked over at Jenna, completely stunned. Hopper reluctantly handed her the walkie-talkie and she started to work her well-worded magic.
"Dustin, I know you're there with Mike, Lucas, and Eleven. And because I've known you your whole life, I know you're probably yelling at everyone 'don't answer, it's like Lando' but it's not. I sibling swear, idiot. If you don't answer, I'll beat your ass and not play DND with you guys, got it?" The line remained silent for a good ten seconds leaving Jenna to use her ultimate card, "If you guys tell us where you are... I'll give you guys $5 each for the arcade and maybe consider going on a small date with Lucas. So answer within 10 seconds or all deals are off. Over."
Finally, sound emitted from the walkie and Mike could be heard saying, "Yeah, I copy. It's Mike. I'm here. We're here."
Mike told them where they were at the junkyard, so, Jenna and Hopper took off in a race to beat the lab employees there. Right as they arrived, so did the government workers, too. Hopper and Jenna shot out of the car and noticed them all moving towards the beaten down bus. They hurried over there, catching the attention of the men there. They both started throwing punches at the men and knocked out all of them. Jenna pried open the bus door while fist-bumping Hopper for their awesome teamwork. She looked down the bus aisle and there they were, her little munchkins.
"Told you," She said while looking at Dustin, "Not Lando. Now, let's go!"
