Summary
“She’s a bitch. She is.” His voice is shaky, and Susan doesn’t understand it. “She’s a goddamn creep who preys on 17-year olds.”
And Susan’s heart does a little flip and then stops. Falls down somewhere below her belly button and stays there. It feels like all air has left her. Like she’s a balloon that someone blew up and then slowly let deflate. All her anger and irritation is gone. But Billy can’t mean what she thinks he does? Can he?

Summary
Susan can imagine Max is confused. She wasn’t supposed to be picked up yet, after all. But Susan has more important things to deal with, so she just turns to meet Hopper’s eyes.
“Mrs. Hargrove?”
“Chief Hopper.” Her voice is serious, collected. It doesn’t waver. There are tears in her eyes, but Susan knows she has to hold it together for her children. Max now and Billy later. “I need you to come with me. My husband is currently busy in the living room, beating my son to death.”

Summary
The first thing Susan sees of her is a cigarette held delicately out through the window, between fingers with painted red nails. Then she steps out, and her hair is long and wavy and blonde and beautiful. She’s dressed in slick black slacks and a blouse, a glittering medallion around her neck, her lips red like her nails and her eyes blue like the California ocean. There is no doubt that this is Billy’s mother. Susan’s only seen one picture of her, and it was quickly hidden by Billy when they were moving to Hawkins.
“Susan?” she says, and god, even her voice sounds like bells. Like a melody. A California girl like no other.
