( That catches Eddie's interest -- Steve told Tommy and Carol off for talking shit about Byers? That...doesn't sound like Steve at all. He's usually the one giving a judgmental look without saying anything, but that's still saying something.
So naturally when Steve says he's got something crazy to tell Eddie, he immediately feels a pit grow in the middle of his stomach. He can't even fathom what it is Steve has to tell him, but if he's worried about being thrown into the loony bin, it can't be all that good. )
Uh. Yeah, of course. I won't -- ( he winces at that even being presented as a possibility. If there's anyone who knows the dangers of being taken in by any kind of authority, it's Eddie. ) I'm the last person to make that kind of call, man. What's up?
( He has no idea what he's about to hear, but he feels like he should probably not be sober for this conversation. Maybe that's why he starts readying a joint for the both of them. To soften the blow, or make it a little more palatable. )
