"Ok guys, I think this is El Tesoro," Kiara says. "The trailhead to the mountain is supposed to start here."

"And this is when I take over," Bella sighs.

JJ looks behind them, "Oh shit. That's one of Singh's guys. What are we gonna do? We gotta get past them somehow."

They toss a fishing line at Fenton who was sitting back on the boat. He sits up. "In five seconds you will hear a gunshot. That's your warning. The next shot will be at your head." A firework goes off making him shoot up. "Ah! Miguel! They are shooting at us! Where are they?"

They both look around.

Kiara peaks over from the shed they are hiding in.

"Is he buying it?" Pope asks.

Kiara nods.

Pope lights another one and tosses it.

"Ah! Shit! We're surrounded!"

"Oh shit oh shit," Kiara ducks down as they start to shoot.

"Get down!"

JJ pulls Bella closer and covers her. "Pope, return fire! Return fire!"

Pope lights another and chucks it.

"There's too many of them! Let's get out of here! Go! Go! Go!"

They start to drive away on their boat.

JJ tosses another firework.

"Think we're getting better at this."

Pope nods, "Oh yeah."

"Hey, hey, no time for celebrating," Cleo says. "We didn't do nothing yet."

Kiara follows Cleo, "That's fair."

"I thought we did something," JJ grins. 

Pope smiles, "We did. We did."

"Well done, solider."

Bella shakes her head, "Come on Stranger Things, let's go."

Pope and Cleo pant as they walk up the hill.

"I think they went this way. There's a path here. BW said there should be one," Pope points.

Cleo pants, "She also said to rest, to not rush it."

"You're right, let's just hold up here for a sec, wait for JJ, Kie, and BW." Pope looks out at the mountains, "It's beautiful out here."

"I know it's probably not a good time to say this, but... I don't know what's gonna happen once we get up there, and I don't know if I'm gonna get another chance."
