"Excuse me?" Julia asked
"Like I said, I am your great-great granddaughter."
William and Julia look at each other, "and I have proof, here" Mary said as she looks through a box and pulls out a journal, "here"
Julia looks at it, "that's my journal"
"Yes, and in one section, it explains how Constable Henry Higgins accidentally zapped you all here and how you can get back."
"Really, how…tell us…" William said
"Ah, not so fast grandpa…first there are various things you have to do before going back. Such as looking up the thing that zapped you here and the man that was arrested claiming to be from the future."
"Well, give us a hint of how long were going to be here for…" Julia asked
"Sorry, grandma, you gave me a note about you asking me for a hint…"
"And you can't?"
"No"
"What the bloody hell is going on, here?" Brackenreid said as he came in the room with modern clothes on, "I don't know how people can wear these…what did you call them?"
"Jeans and is George coming?"
"Crabtree, come on, get out here"
George walks out with a blue plaid shirt and jeans on, "wow, George, you look great." Mary said
"I feel great, like these clothes were meant for me"
"Well, you do look good George. But Mary was telling us something really important" Julia said
"My name is Mary Murdoch…and I am William and Julia's great-great granddaughter. This journal, I am holding, has all the information you need to get back to 1908."
"Ok, well let's look at the journal and head back" Brackenreid said as he reaches for the journal
"Ah, sir, its not that simple. We need to do various things that it says in the journal."
"Yes, good grandpa. But I will give you one hint, which is allowed."
"Well, then tell us"
"Ok, you need to look up the as what George called it the miniature time machine. You can use my laptop if you want."
They all looked at each other, "the what?"
Mary chuckled, "was expecting that. My laptop" she said and pointed to it, "I am allowed to help you on this problem."
"Yes, please" they all said
She laughed again, "ok, describe what the, as you called it the time machine?"
"Well, it was black, could fit it your hand, had two small fans attached to it" Brackenreid said
"Oh, sir, it had two buttons blue and red." George said
"I may have found it" she said as she showed them, "this?"
"Yes! How do we get it?" They all asked
"Well, that's the tricky part…its locked at a museum, in Hamilton, owned by a man named Stephen Colson" she said and showed them the man, as Brackenreid and George said, "that's him. The man claiming to be a time traveler!"
"And he is here, right now in Toronto" she said as she writes something on a paper, "his address"
Brackenreid takes it the paper and him and George head out, "come on, Murdoch, Doctor"
"Mary, can you help us, with this and the surroundings of modern Toronto."
"Grandpa, I would love to, but as the journal says I can't…but they will be a time, you will need my help again and I can"
William and Julia nodded as they followed Brackenreid and George out the door.
