Running Out Of Time
Chapter 33
Requiem of the DeLorean
The headlights of the DeLorean lit up the street, as Dan pulled the car into the driveway of the McFly residence. The door opened, and Marty and Jennifer stepped out. They looked into the cab of the stainless steel vehicle...
Marty: Dan, Eduardo... Thank you so much for helping us out of that. We'd be dead if it weren't for you.
Dan: Ah, it was nothing. All part of the job.
Jennifer: I would especially like to thank Eduardo. He tried so hard to bring Biff down. You're a brave man within yourself...
She leaned into the passenger door, and kissed Eduardo on the cheek. A large grin came across his face...
Dan: Well, lets not got too cocky with it.
Marty: Well... I guess this is good-bye then.
Dan: You have to remember, good-byes are not forever.
Eduardo: I've got an idea: Why don't the both of you visit us?
Dan: Hey, that's a great idea! Come visit us in New York, but it has to be anytime after September 13, 2000, or we'll not know who you are.
Marty: Sure. In about 15 years?
Eduardo: We hope so.
Dan: And remember: The true exploration that awaits you, is not studying the world around you, but thinking of the unknown possibilities of existence. Think of the road you're about to go down before you go down it.
Marty: We will. Thanks.
Marty extended his hand into the car, towards Dan. Dan grabbed, and shook his hand. Eduardo did the same.
Marty: Take it easy.
Eduardo: Every chance I get, man. Every chance I get.
Marty shut the door, and the couple waved as the car backed out of the driveway. The car then converted into a hover-vehicle once again, and flew off into the night. After a couple of flashes appeared in the sky, over the outline of the trees, Marty and Jennifer stood in the silence of the night, as they pondered on the suggestion Eduardo had laid across for them...

Roland was walking around the airstrip, with the PKE meter in his hand, scanning for readings. He didn't see Dan or Eduardo, or even the tricked-out DeLorean, which was carrying his fellow Ghostbusters in. It was now 3 minuets since they disappeared. For a moment, he had lost hope, for now the thought that they might have been vaporized came across his mind.
That was when the earth-rumbling sonic blasts, and the beyond-bright flashes appeared in the clearing. He noticed they were right behind him. When he saw the car reappear, he screamed, and jumped out of the way. He lost his balance, fell to the ground, and rolled. He looked up, to find the frost covered time vehicle's doors opening. Dan and Eduardo emerged.
Eduardo went into the trunk, and pulled out both Proton Packs, and put them in the back of Lucky Black. Dan shut the driver side door, and walked to the other side, where the other door was open. Roland stood up, and walked up to Dan...
Roland: Dan, where have you been? You've been gone for 3 minuets, and I was...
Dan held up his hand, to where the back of it was facing Roland.
Roland: Did you get the readings?
Dan, still having the hand up, shook it violently.
Roland: Dan... What's the matter with you?
Dan: Rolo, when I say run like hell, I want you to run like hell.
Roland: What?
Dan un-holstered his ED Pistol, and flipped the detonation switch. Dan pulled the trigger, and the canister popped out into the passenger seat. Dan screamed at the top of his lungs...
Dan: RUN LIKE HELL!!
Dan bolted to the truck, and Roland ran after. They slid across the back of the bed cover of the truck to the over side. Eduardo was already there, and all three Ghostbusters looked over the other side.
A large explosion took place, as parts of stainless steel, electronic boards, and pieces of upholstery flew in all directions in a fired heap. The DeLorean was completely destroyed.
Dan and Eduardo stood up, and watched whatever structure was left of the car burn. A tear almost formed in Dan's eye as he watched on. Roland stood up between them...
Roland: What the hell?! Why did you do that for?!
Dan and Eduardo looked at each other, then at Roland...
Dan: Dude, it's a very loooong story.
