![]() ![]() They’ll drive to Indianapolis International and one Mr. He fishes out the number given to him by General Hollister, salvaged from the scattered remains of his Rolodex – the one that he was meant to call if he ran into any sort of trouble with the Arrowhead Project. Whistle-blowers and agitators and junkies like Jim Hopper – the sort of people Spiro Agnew had called the hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history – and Steven, god love him, sways in the wind like a field of corn. That he’d had fallen in with a bad crowd and they’d filled his head with idealistic nonsense. Instead he suggests that she take a Dexamyl for her nerves and tells her that Steven simply doesn’t understand the real world. For a brief moment James Harrington considers telling his wife to stay with their son and thinks that perhaps if she does, something could be repaired. Go out there, move some fallen branches around for the Networks, HERO MAYOR HELPS TOWN THROUGH WORST STORM IN HAWKINS HISTORY, do a half-dozen interviews about how he won’t rest until every last person is accounted for and no one will even think to ask who’s responsible for the mess up by Cherry.Īt ten past ten James Harrington listens to Patricia’s repeated, increasingly desperate litany that Steven will be okay, won’t he? Steven will be fine? and tries not to think of Steven’s face when he shouted that he’d destroyed her. He decides that if he plays it right he can lay the whole thing at State’s feet – shove Bob Orr’s nose in it and come up smelling like roses. He’ll promise to call on the IURC to investigate the working conditions that would leave a good man over-worked and over-tired enough to make such a terrible, tragic mistake. He also won’t outright say – though he will heavily imply – that the blame for that monumental screw up rests squarely on a hysterical Don McCorkle who couldn’t be more convenient if he tried. He certainly won’t say that anyone being honest with themselves would admit that the place had been a bit of an eyesore that attracted all the wrong sort of people to town. The damage to the Starcourt construction site will have been minimal, which was a weight off of everyone’s shoulders. Joyce takes more of the man’s weight than seems physically possible and when he takes Kali he can feel her smile against his side in spite of herself.Īt five past ten, Mayor Larry Kline decides what he’ll say to the Herald – maybe even the Journal Gazette and Sun-Times – when they come calling. They find them half-way, Chief Hopper limping, one-booted and exhausted, Kali stumbling in his grip and burned out. Because where the others see a leader, a mother – maybe even a goddess, though they’d never admit it – Fun still sees a quiet runaway, sharing an archway in Redmont Park with a homeless ex-con with no reason to live. The others had argued – said that Kali had given them orders and knew better and running in could put her in worse danger and… all that might be true but he doesn’t care. It doesn’t matter – once the woman had burst from the Gates, shouting that Hopper and Kali needed help, Fun would have followed if it had meant swimming there in pitch blackness. Baffled meteorologists in Fort Wayne and Indianapolis start drinking early.Īt nine-fifty-three a man who had once been Laurence Washington – now called Funshine with various degrees of seriousness – disregards direct orders, plowing through knee-high water beside Joyce Byers, a flickering flashlight and Joyce’s sense of direction the only guide. It doesn’t peter out or dissipate into drizzles like it’s meant to – it simply stops all at once, like a curtain coming down on the last act of a play. -.-.-.Īt nine-fifty in the morning a monster dies in the Upside Down and the worst storm Hawkins has ever seen finally breaks. Only that you were there… and still on your feet. The place where you made your stand never mattered. Shooting at the walls of heartache Bang, bang!
