   Summary

   Jonathan takes a step back, like he hadn’t expected the door to actually open. Hopper glances up for a car or a parent, but doesn’t find either.

   “Is someone hurt?” Hopper asks, words still slurring a little with bourbon and sleep.

   The boy shakes his head slowly, looking a little unsure of it himself. God, he looks like shit, actually. His eyes are red and bloodshot. He’s panting. Hopper’s eyebrows crease.

   “We need to talk,” Jonathan says unsteadily.
