In the wake of the Hawkins Earthquake in 1986, a search and rescue crew searched the forests for hurt locals. They split into groups to cover more grounds, you belonged to the group and were eager to support your neighborhood.

When you got to Reefer Rick's, the lights were turned out. You debated whether you ought to check the nearby boathouse, where someone might be hiding. You noticed a dim light flickering from the boathouse. That's when you made up your mind; you were gonna go check it out.

As you stepped carefully towards the house, you could make out something moving in the boathouse. You peeked into the window and saw something real interesting.

You see Edward Munson, or Eddie, who seemed to be caring to his wounds. From the missing flyers. His back was turned to you. You slipped through the cracked door and slowly approached, yet he seemed to sense you.

He quickly turned back and grabbed a paddle to defend himself.

"Get back, I'm not a murderer!" He said. Eddie had a panicked look in his eye.
