The group made their way to the Wheeler family's home. As men dressed in suits removed boxes from their automobiles, they all stood on the hill and observed. "I have to go home." They were all staring at Nancy as she said that.

"No, you can't." Gazing through binoculars at the home, Hopper said.

"My mom... my dad are there." Nancy let out a loud cry. Nancy began to march in the direction of the home, ignoring Hopper's remarks. Hopper took hold of her and drew her back in their direction.

"Hey! Listen to me..Listen to me -The last thing in the world we need is them knowing you're mixed up in all this." Hopper warned her.

"Mike is over there"

"They haven't found him. Not yet, at least." The chopper was circling the town when they all looked up. Bailey questioned the genuine purpose of all of this.

"For Mike?" Nancy asked, surprised filled her face.

"Look, we need to find them before they do. Do you have any idea where he might have gone?" Hopper asked.

"No..I don't.... I don't know. We haven't talked a lot." Nancy admitted as she looked down.

"Look, is there any place that your...your parents don't know about that he might go?" Joyce questioned.

"I might." Johnathan said, grabbing everyone's attention.

"What?"

"I don't know where he is, but I think I know how to ask him." stated Joanathan.

"We will follow you." Almos spoke from where they stood, and Bailey looked at his father before returning to the others.

They all arrived to the Byers house and wasted little time getting inside. They walked inside the house. Bailey looked about at the lights that surrounding the area and the massive letters in the centre of the space. "What in the world." He mumbled while gazing around.

They stormed into Will's room and began trashing the place, hunting for whatever they were looking for. Joyce discovered the walkie talkies under the bed. "I got it." She yelled out.

"Mike, are you there? Mike? Mike, it's me, Nancy. Mike, are you there?" They all waited to hear a response from them as Nancy talked into the walkie talkie. Bailey took a seat next to Nancy, sensing her uneasiness.

Hopper approached and removed the gadget from her grasp. "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."

"Yeah, I copy." Mike's voice was heard over the radio.

"I'm heading over to get them." Hopper said, glancing at them. Florence put her hand on Almso's shoulder the moment he stood up.

"I'll accompany you, there are too many people scuttling around here trying to find that little girl. You will require more than yourself." Almos replied, glancing at Hopper, who nodded immediately, eager to finish this.

"Be careful, make sure they get home safely." As Joyce nodded in agreement, Florence spoke. Florence comforted the woman by placing her hand on her shoulder.

Florence filled the cups of those who had waited with coffee. watching for the guys to bring the small children home. By now the sun had set and their fears were growing.

At last, there was the noise of a car pulling into the driveway. Joyce left the house first, with the rest trailing behind.

As the children spilt out of the car, Bailey took a closer look at each child he didn't know. As soon as a young girl with shaved hair emerged, he recognised it had to be Eleven. Nancy was holding a small boy named Mike. which left Dustin and Lucas, the other two children, alone. Lucas inquired, glancing at Bailey. "Who are you?"

"My name is Bailey Cameron, and I'm friends with Nancy and Jonathan." He replied, a little smile playing on his face as he looked at them.

"Is that my dress?"

"Okay." With everyone staring at the paper with serious concentration, Mike said. "So, in this example, we're the acrobat. Will and Barbara, and that monster, they're this flea. And this is the Upside Down, where Will is hiding. Mr. Clarke said the only way to get there is through a rip of time and space."

"A gate" Dustin stated

"That we tracked to Hawkins Lab." Lucas added. "With our compasses. Okay, so the gate has a really strong. electromagnetic field, and that can change the directions of a compass needle."

"Is this gate underground?" Hopper inquired.

"Yes." As everyone stared at her and heard her speak for the first time, Eleven whispered softly. Eleven nodded in response to another query posed by Hopper.

"How do you know all that?" Dustin asked with curiosity.

Mike's eyes filled with realisation. "He's seen it." He whispered.

"Is there any way that you could...that you could reach Will? That you could talk to him in this—The Upside Down."Eleven nodded once more as Joyce asked the girl, giving the woman hope. Florence gave the tiny child a look. wondering who would want to hurt kids and use them in studies.

"And my friend Barbara? Can you find her, too?" Bailey saw as Eleven merely glanced at Nancy as she asked. Everyone stood around as they moved to a table. Barb's pictures were positioned in front of Eleven, when she closed her eyes, all they could hear was static.

Eleven closed her eyes, trying in order to prevent out the cautious gazes of those seated around the table and focus solely on her work. Just a few seconds after the lights flickered to life again, Eleven opened her eyes.

Eleven glanced up at them, and they all gave her a confused, dejected face. "I can't find them." She got up out of the chair and walked into the restroom. Feeling his mother's hands on his shoulders, Bailey tried to console her by grabbing her hand despite his mild trembling. Is it really worth the effort after all if eleven couldn't discover them?

- Act One is coming to a close as we finally get to meet Eleven. I am eagerly awaiting Act Two. Because that's when the romance between Bailey and Steve really begins.
