Will, Jonathan, and Mike dragged Harmon out to Argyle's van. They escaped together in the van. During the drive, the kids asked Harmon where they could find Eleven. Harmon told them they had to find NINA. Harmon gave them a pen, and told them there was a number. The kids thought that NINA was a person and asked Harmon to tell them the telephone number. Harmon died without revealing the number.
Later, Argyle made a grave for him and wanted to write "Unknown Hero Agent Man", who "Saved Argyle, Jonathan, Will and Mike from certain death" on a pizza box as a grave marker.

Inside the pen was a slip of paper with a telephone number written on it.
