Running Out Of Time
Chapter 11
The Witness

Biff Tannen walked out of the Burger King on the other side of Hill Valley. He stretched as he walked through the parking lot to his beat up yellow pick-up. He looked over to the house that was next door: Residence of Doctor Emmett Brown. Biff sneered as he looked at the shack...

Biff: Where has that old nut-job been all week? A mental institute, I hope.

He was about to unlock the door to his truck, when he saw it... That strange looking DeLorean again. It stopped in front of the gate of the house.

Biff: What the...?

Then, the black Toyota 4x4 pulled up behind it, except, it wasn't who he thought it was behind the wheel.

Dan spoke over the radio to Eduardo in the truck...

Dan: "1640 Riverside Drive." This looks like the place.

Eduardo: Ten-Four.

Dan: Eddy, you don't need to say, "Ten-Four."

Eduardo: Hey, I wanted to, ok?

Dan: Whatever. I'll open the gate.

Dan got out of the DeLorean, and opened the gate front of the house. The 4x4 pulled in first. Dan got back into the DeLorean, and pulled in next to the truck. Eduardo stepped out of the truck, and Dan got out of the DeLorean. They walked to the front door, and knocked to see if anyone was home. After a moment, Dan lifted up the welcome mat, and picked up the key under it...

Dan: A brilliant mind, and he leaves a key under the rug. Gee... isn't he the smart one?

Dan opened the door, and both men walked in. They looked at each other...

Eduardo: Lets get them.

Dan: Yeah.

They walked back out. Biff watched from the inside of his truck, as the two men took a girl out of the 4x4...

Biff: Hey, that's McFly's girlfriend! What the hell is she doing with them?

Dan and Eduardo walked into the house and put Jennifer on the bed on the far side of the room. They walked back out, and went to the passenger side of the DeLorean. They pulled out Marty, and started to bring him into the house.

Biff: That's McFly! What the hell is going on here?

Dan and Eduardo put Marty into a work chair. They took a breather, as they looked around the converted garage. Eduardo walked over to a large box in the middle of the room. He saw a large hole in the middle of it...

Eduardo: What's this thing?

Dan looked up.

Dan: Looks like a huge amp.

Eduardo: Wow, that's different.

Dan: Well, don't touch it. There might be power running trough it.

Back outside, Biff had walked over from the Burger King, to the house next door, to get a better look at the DeLorean. He looked all over to find out what made it fly. Biff opened the car door, and looked in the cab.

Biff: What's all this stuff for?

He saw the key pad, and started pressing buttons. There was a beep, and the red LED panel reset to NOV 12, 1955 5:00 AM. He looked at all the switches and buttons on the inside of the cab.

Biff: This is weird.

He closed the door, and opened the trunk space. He looked inside, and he found nothing. Just before he closed the trunk, Dan and Eduardo came back out. Out of panic, Biff jumped into the trunk, and shut it on himself. He heard them talking...

Eduardo: So where is the guy that invented this thing?

Dan: I don't know. I don't think we'll know until the guy wakes up. Hey, can you grab the Proton Packs, and shut the doors on the cars?

Eduardo: Sure.

Proton Pack? Biff heard that word before... just recently, if he wasn't mistaken. He heard a clunking noise. Sounded like the door shut.

Eduardo: So, what do we do if someone else asks about the time machine?

Biff: Time machine?

Biff lifted his head up fast, but because of the low clearance space, and crack his head on the trunk. He started to feel sleepy, as he heard Dan say...

Dan: I guess we shouldn't worry about that until we see this Doctor Brown.

Biff: Doc Brown? ::fades::
