Chapter 28 - 28. Broken compass...?

"Why are all of you in my house?" Mike asked. After leaving the school, we all decided to meet at Wheeler's house. Mike wasn't happy about it, he feared that his mother would know what they were doing.

"Before asking them shouldn't you say something to me?" Karen caught Mike's ear and twisted it while saying. "Aaahh!! Sorry... sorry... mom!! I'm sorry" Feeling his ear been plucked he said hastily.

As if satisfied with Mike's painful looks, Karen let go of his ears. Mike quickly got away from her and rubbed her red ear "Mom... I think someone bunk school classes today" Nancy looked at Mike and said with a teasing smile.

"Y-You...!! Aaahh!!" Before Mike could say anything his other ears were caught by Karen "M-Mom... see Nancy even... she didn't go to school today" Mike tried to move her attention to his devil sister.

"Humph! Unlike you, Nancy has told me everything. Even your aunt May and Robert told me everything, I was waiting for you to say it to me. But it seems you don't care about your life" Karen said seriously.

Mike continued to beg for mercy while Karen twisted his ear Lucas and Dustin didn't stop Karen for fear that they would be next. Finally, it was Robert who came forward and reduced Mike.

"Okay aunt, I know Mike was wrong about not telling this to you but he has learned his lesson, he wouldn't repeat it, right?" Robert looked at Mike when he said the last sentence.

"Yeah. Yes, Mom, I will inform you next time" Mike said and quickly ran to Dustin and Lucas who were smirking at his misery. After seeing her release Mike, Robert patted her ass.

It's not that he had a sex thought but this has become his habit. Everything Karen listened to his words he would pat her ass, at first he wanted to pat her head but due to the height difference he couldn't and he developed this habit.

He quickly put his hand away, looking at Karen's blushing face Robert quickly used his psychic powers to send her a message 'Karen don't blush there are many people here'

Karen quickly changed her face, if anyone saw her face-changing skill they would think that this wasn't the first time she had done something like this. Both thought no one saw them but forgot about Nancy who looked at them with a side eye.

Seeing her mom and her lover flirting and teasing each other made her feel more annoyed than a normal woman feels. After all, having the same boyfriend as their mother makes the relationship weird.

"Everyone comes here, I will show you what we show in the room," Robert said. Everyone heard his words and came near him, His psychic powers moved and covered everyone, and their brain began to see what he wanted to show them.

After 5 minutes everyone woke up, and all had a heavy look on their face. Seeing the conversation between Joyce and Will made May and Karen burst into tears, because they could understand her pain.

"So... can you find where he is?" Kali asked seriously. "Eve can we locate his position," Robert asked Eve, to which she shook her head "Only he can... call not me" she said.

"What is she saying?" Mike asked stupidly. "She is saying that only when Will tries to contact us, can she find him... right Robert?" Dustin said to Mike and asked for Robert's confirmation.

"Yes you are right Dustin" Robert said with a heavy face. "Tsk~ stupid kid" As if seeing the tense mood in the room, Nancy teased Mike.

"I'm not stupid" Mike retorted which made everyone smile. Robert couldn't think of any way to help Will, which made him stressed he was trying to put various mythology stories together to see if there was a way to Will place.

"Come on Lucas, Dustin, Robert let go and search for Will" Mike said. Everyone's attention turned to him "Are you stupid or what Mike? We don't even know where he is. How can you find him?" Nancy asked angrily.

"But it's still better than sitting here, right?" Mike said with anger in his voice. Robert knew what Mike wanted to say, he stopped Nancy and said "I think what Mike says is right.

Instead of sitting here doing nothing, going out and looking for Will is better. Even if we don't find him, at least we may find some clues about where he was at last time before he was kidnapped"

For a moment Robert felt like Mike was a protagonist of this world. After all people like a hot-headed teenager who rushes in the face of danger instead of a cool guy in every movie or TV show except horror or thriller genres.

Hearing Robert's words made them believe that it was better to go out and find him. "Okay Robert you go with Mike, Lucas and Dustin to search for Will... but you must be home before 6.00 pm" May said seriously.

Karen didn't want Mike to go but May her elder sister had more majesty and could only agree. Robert and his friends took their bags, just when they were about to leave Robert turned and said "Mom why don't you visit Will's mom with Aunt Karen?"

Karen and May nodded and agreed to visit her.

...

Robert and his three friends first went to the woods, riding on their cycles they covered it and didn't find any clues about Will. They came to the abandoned junkyard in Hawkins to rest for a while.

They keep walking while talking about various things trying to not be sad while looking for clues about Will. "Are you mad about Aunt and Nancy shouting at you?" Robert asked Mike.

Mike was stunned by the sudden question but shook his head "No. I-It's just that they let me do things I like" He said.

"So do you know why they are doing this?" Robert again asked while walking. Mike hesitated for a few seconds before saying "... Because they think that I cannot handle it"

Robert shook his head and said "No. It is because they care about you. They don't want something to happen to you like Will" Mike shook his head and said "Don't speak nonsense. Nancy will not care about me"

"Well... about Nancy just think that she is having teenage problems, if you truly disappear she will also try to look at you," Robert said seriously. Mike didn't say anything and went forward.

Just when they were walking Robert noticed that Dustin suddenly began to walk in a different direction. "Hey, Dustin where are you going?" He asked in confusion.

"What do you mean by that? Of course, we are going north" Dustin turned his head and asked. "Yeah, but north is in this direction," Lucas noticed something wrong while pointing toward the abandoned rail routes.

"Eehh... but my compass says that north... is in this direction" Now Dustin himself was confused. "Maybe your compass is broken, here try mine" Mike said, taking out another compass.

"Dude your compass is the same as mine" Dustin pointed out to Mike's compass. "Strange... before leaving home it was perfectly fine" Mike mumbled.

Hearing Mike's words Robert couldn't help but think about this strange phenomenon. After all, there should be a reason why both their compasses malfunction simultaneously.
