Summary
Will pauses to catch his breath, leaning his weight against the rough bark of a tall pine, safely hidden beneath its branches. He puts his flashlight bulb-down to keep a faint glow in the air as he runs his hands through his hair and waits for his heart to calm down. He's nearly there, the lab just ahead through the trees and he's getting more and more excited the closer he gets. All he can think is Henry, Henry, Henry, and his stealth is suffering for it. Hopper would chastise him for the branches he's stomping over, the beds of dry leaves he's carelessly trampling through. But all he can think of is what's waiting for him over that fence, through that rift. Henry's blue eyes, his scarred arms, his smooth, deep voice that belies the danger his words hold.
After a few long moments of panting, Will huffs one last deep breath and straightens up, grabbing his flashlight back in hand, and pushes on, ducking out from under the pine boughs.
Or: Will is a rabbit caught in a trap.
