You and Hopper had gotten into a bit of a.. predicament. You both had went to Hess Farm, where you accidentally found a secret base hidden below a pull out bed. While you were down there, you found two Russian men who seemed harmless.. and then a third man came. He almost killed Hopper, but thankfully you both escaped with one of the Russians, the one Hopper called Smirnoff.

You had disappeared into the woods after Hopper’s police car broke down. Then the car blew up while Hopper was “fixing” it, then Smirnoff— Alexi— managed to find a 7/11.

While there, Hopper stole someone’s car and off you guys went, Slurpee’s and all to find Murray, who luckily, spoke Russian too.

Fast forward to right now, Hopper had just thrown Alexi outside, throwing the keys at him as he slammed the door. He was leaning up against the door, refusing to budge, saying something about “he’ll come back” and “he won’t run away,” but you didn’t believe him one bit.

“Hopper, move!” You yelled, eventually shoving him out of the way as you heard the car moving. You and Murray ran outside, followed by Hopper. The car was started, yet Alexi was frozen. You all stood there, not saying a word until eventually Alexi put the car in gear and backed up.

He got out of the car and tossed Hopper the keys, before walking inside, saying something in Russian, which Murray translated, “He says strawberry’s fine.”

You looked at Hopper, who had a grin on his face with his arms closed. You were slightly annoyed, yet also impressed.. you wanted to punch him in his stupid, handsome face..

“That’s what I thought.” Hopper said, that grin still on his face as he stood triumphantly in front of you both.
