Chapter 5
As they sped down the road Marty tried something dangerous, he began to
pull himself hand over hand closer to the dune buggy, finally he reached
the rear of the vehicle and grabbed the rear steel bar for better support,
then glancing up Marty let out a small whimper, looming up ahead about ten
miles was the Hill Valley tunnel it's sides stripped of the lighting that
had once adorned the sides and top of the tunnel in an effort to modernize
it in 1962 but the project had been abandoned halfway through-as a result
several dead electrical wires hung from the ceiling throughout the tunnel .
Taking a deep breath Marty slowly edge to the driver's side of the dune
buggy determined to retrieve his sister's magazine, unfortunately Brock
happened to just look in his rearview mirror at that moment "Eat pavement
you little jackass!" he snapped out loud as he suddenly jerked the wheel to
one side-SCRAMMCCCCCHHHHH!!!!! Sparks flew as he slammed up against the
side of the tunnel in an attempt to scrape Marty off his dune buggy.
Marty gasped as he saw the side of the tunnel looming up ahead and he quickly let go of the side of the dune buggy and latched back onto the rear of the machine. He waited as Brock pulled back into the middle of the road and tried to figure out what his next move would be, deciding to try again he crouched down low this time and again he began to make his way towards Brock until he was at just the right spot then rising quickly he tried to grab the magazine but Brock saw him out of the corner of his eyes and nailed him in the jaw with his elbow! Marty let out a cry of pain and nearly lost his grip on the car but quickly righted himself he reached for the magazine again and this time he got it, however Brock took one hand off the wheel and grabbed onto the other side, there was a brief tug of war before the magazine landed with a small thunk on the short plastic windshield.
"You little butthead, your screwed up my dune buggy's paintjob-I'm gonna kill you for that!" Brock screamed in anger as both of his hands grabbed onto the wheel and he slowly began to move towards the wall of the tunnel.
Sweat poured down Marty's face and he began to panic as Brock edged closer and closer to the wall of the tunnel, "Eureka!" suddenly a light bulb went off in Marty's head as the solution came to him-it was dangerous, and the odds of it actually being successful were almost nil, but he had to try it.
He kept his hold on the side of the vehicle and waited as Brock edged closer and closer and closer then just when he was in range Marty timed himself, took a deep breath, and slipping his free foot under his speeding skateboard he quickly flipped it into the air and off the ground and onto the wall and began to skate along the side of the tunnel, Brock looked over then did a double take his look of shock hidden behind the visor of his helmet.
As he skated up the side of the wall, Marty quickly reached out and snatched the magazine-FWIPP! Having let go Marty's momentum was lost and he flipped butt over teakettle landing with a thud skateboard first as Brock shot ahead Marty gasped, he couldn't believe it had worked!
Brock roared in anger, and jerked the wheel roughly to one side spinning himself completely around. Ripping off his helmet, Brock tossed it to the ground. Except for the lone blond ponytail that sprouted from the top of his head he was completely bald. Keeping one foot on the brake he began to pump the gas pedal then charged at Marty fully intent on running him down!
Marty heard the revving of the engine and turned and saw Brock speeding towards him "Holy crap!" He muttered as he quickly stuffed the magazine into the pocket of his leather jacket and began to skateboard as quickly as possible back the way he came.
Brock began to gain on Marty and an evil murderous laughed escaped from between his lips "Your Road kill!" he snarled as he advanced closer and closer to Marty Mcfly.
Marty was gasping as he tried to catch his breath -he was so close to the end of the tunnel-but would he make it? He turned and let out a cry of shock, Brock was only two feet behind him! Turning quickly back around Marty screamed as he realized he wasn't going to make- suddenly he saw a electrical wire right in front of his face and grabbing onto it he pulled himself upwards-ZWOOMMM! Brock had missed him!
Brock grinned as he was just about to run his victim down-suddenly he rose up into the air much to Brock's surprise, "Holy shi-" Brock gasped as he looked behind him in shock at Marty dangling from an electrical wire Brock's grip on the steering wheel relaxed and it jerked to the right, feeling the change in direction Brock spun back around and tried to grab the wheel but it was too late! The dune buggy sailed over the edge of the road and through the air---PLOP! And Landed upside down in a passing manure truck as it drove down the dirt road.
"MARTY!" with a shout of panic Linda started towards Marty who was still clinging to the thick wire, "I'm okay!" he called back as he dropped to the ground-WHAP! Marty's head began to throb as Linda smacked him in the back of the head "YOU IDIOT! DON'T EVER DO ANYTHING SO DANGEROUS AGAIN!" she screamed "sorry" Marty mumbled, Linda wrapped an arm around him "Okay, just don't do that ever again-I don't want you killed, you're my brother and I love you" Marty looked down at the ground not knowing what to say and Linda smiled "Still" she said "It was pretty funny to see that jerk land in the manure truck!" both chuckled and began back towards the rest of the group.
"Is Dave okay?" Linda sighed "Well it looks like his Afro cushioned the fall but we should take him to a hospital to make sure-you know that means we'll have to call Mom"
"We're dead." Marty groaned.
