Chapter 9

MARTY barely left when Jennifer spotted her parents and got up to started towards them. Still shivering, she strode down the section-to-section aisle way when she felt a hand. It was Marty's. 

"Jennifer." he asked, "What the hell are you doing?" 

"I just spotted my parents." said Jennifer, "I'm going to meet them." 

"No you don't." said Marty, "I betrayed Doc once tonight, but I'm not going to let him down twice." 

"But Marty..." said Jennifer. 

"No buts, Jennifer." said Marty, "Before I got rid of him, Doc told me not to let you near your parents and that's what I'm going to do." 

Jennifer began to feel the disappointment in herself again. Then Marty went on. 

"We got more problems." he said, "Biff's here, and so is my dad." 

"Oh no." said Jennifer, "You told me the reason for going to 1964..." 

"That's right, Jennifer", said Marty, "and we got all the jars of poison with us. If we run into Biff with those in our possessions..." His voice trailed off. Then he said "We've got to get hell outta here."

Jennifer could not disagree. The two were heading up some steps to the concourse then backed out when they spied Biff coming down the steps. So they went to some other steps to go up to the concourse. Once there, they started down a runway to the gate when they ran into three guys. It was Biff's gang. 

"Hey look!" said one of them, "It's one of the Klein brothers, and he's got a broad with him."

Realizing that it was three against two, Marty pointed off somewhere saying "Hey look!" 

They did. And as they did, Marty and Jennifer bulldozed them and fled.

Match, Skinhead and 3-D got up. 

As they did one of them said to 3-D "Go get Biff. We'll keep Klein and his chick company." 

3-D complied. Going through the concourse he went into the stands to find Biff. 

"Biff." he said. 

"Where the hell's my beer?" interrupted Biff. 

"Sorry Biff", apologized 3-D, "but we've got trouble."

"And what kind of trouble is it?" asked Biff. 

"One of the Klein brothers is here." answered 3-D, "And he's got a dame." 

"Well, which Klein is it?" asked Biff, "Calvin or Allen." 

"How the hell am I supposed to know." said 3-D, "They both look alike." 

"One of those buttheads in Fusco." said Biff. 

"Biff." said 3-D, "It's 'Frisco." 

The crowd around them ceased their excitement and turned to the two. 

"Who are you calling San Francisco 'Frisco', jerk?" asked a member of that crowd. 

Then Biff stepped up. 

"Hey listen guys", he said, "my buddy is from back east. He didn't mean what he said." 

"Oh yeah?" asked one of them, "Here's meaning what we said." 

The crowd charged towards the two who then fled.

Marty gave Jennifer the sleep inducer in case she ran into any trouble with Biff and/or his gang. Which they suddenly did. It was two of Biff's gang. 

"Going somewhere." said one of them as the two surrounded Marty and Jennifer. 

"How about a kiss, girlie?" asked the other one. 

As he approached, Jennifer whipped out the sleep inducer and used it on the man. The man confronting Marty was startled by what Jennifer did. So startled, that he did not notice the left hook coming from Marty. 

With both out, Marty said "Good going, Jennifer." 

"Thanks Marty." said Jennifer. 

They immediately sought a hiding place for them to wait until the time of the DeLorean's appearance would come.

Wednesday, November 13, 1985
Hill Valley, California
11:35. p.m.

Doc started to power up the time train. In there was a bag of manure.

"Emmett", asked Clara, "What are you doing?"  

"I'm using the time train to go back and help Marty and Jennifer." said Doc, "It's fortunate that I had the fusion generator from the train configured for manure." Doc started loading the fusion generator with the manure saying "With Biff at that concert and Marty's father covering the Beatles for the Telegraph, if either them has those jars of poison and runs into Biff, there going to be some serious trouble." 

Clara could not disagree.

Monday, August 29, 1965
San Francisco, California
9:50 p.m.
Outside Candlestick Park.

Biff and 3-D revived Match and Skinhead. 

"What the hell happened?" demanded Biff. 

"That Klein guy and his broad took us by surprise." said one of the guys. 

"You let them get away?" asked Biff, "Listen, those two brothers caused me a whole lot a trouble, stopped me at every turn. I owe each of them a knuckle sandwich." 

"Biff ", said one of them, "That Klein guy and his girl could be anywhere now." 

"Well then split up." said Biff, "Let's find them." 

The four of them split up.

The parking lot was long since emptied. Marty and Jennifer came out of hiding and approached where the last known appearance of the DeLorean before it was sent into the moment that was now approaching. 

"Jennifer," asked Marty, "do you still got that sleep inducer on you?" 

"Yes." said Jennifer. 

"Listen Jennifer." said Marty, "I've got the remote for the DeLorean. If Biff or a member of his gang pops out of nowhere, I want you to use it on him." 

"Right." said Jennifer. 

The moment was approaching. Then a voice was heard from behind. 

"Alright punk, which Klein are you?" 

The two to see who it was, it was Biff.

"Not now, Biff." said Marty. 

"Oh, it's Allen Klein." said Biff, "Are you going to introduce me to the lovely lady?" 

"Biff." said Marty, "You lay one hand on her..." 

"Okay." said Biff, "Let's fight over her then." 

"No thanks." said Marty as he turned back to where the DeLorean was about to appear.

 Jennifer had the inducer at the ready. Biff kept persisting. 

"What's the matter?" he asked, "Chicken?

For two weeks since that incident where Needles challenged him to that truck race that Marty backed out of, Marty was trying his best to keep himself under control everytime somebody calls him a name. But this time, he could no longer control himself. He spied Jennifer ready to use the sleep inducer on Biff and put his hand on it. 

Then he turned to Biff saying "Nobody calls me...". 

At that moment, it was 10:04 pm. 

The DeLorean reappeared. The sonic booms knocked Marty off his feet. Scrambling, he pointed the remote to the DeLorean and stopped the car. At that moment, something came out of his coat and rolled to Biff. 

"What the hell?" said Biff, picking it up. 

Marty looked. It was one of the jars of poison, and Biff had it. 

"I've been looking for this for two years." he said, "Thanks a lot." He kicked Marty in the stomach. "And this is for two years ago." said Biff kicking Marty again, "And this is for what your brother did to my car eleven years ago." 

And he punched Marty in the jaw, knocking him out. After that, Biff disappeared. Jennifer approached Marty asking "Marty, are you alright?" 

The response was "Does anybody have the license number of the truck that hit me?" 

At that, Jennifer knew how serious the situation was.

Wednesday, November 13, 1985
Hill Valley, California
11:45 pm

Doc was making the final preparations for the return trip back to 1966 when Clara came in with one of the old newspapers.

"Emmett." she said, "You'd better take a look at this." 

Doc did. The it was a newspaper from the past. It was dated TUESDAY, AUGUST 30, 1966 It it an article was appearing. It read

TRAGEDY AT S.F.O.

McFLY POISONED

"Great Scott." said Doc, "That means something's happened back in 1966." 

Then, the two began to notice something. The walls of the house was changing. The old rotting tile was back. 

"Emmett!" said Clara, "I'm frightened." 

"Just sit tight." said Doc, "It's up to me now to stop Biff the worse way possible." 

Dismissing Clara, he closed the door to the train. 

But then he opened the window and said to Clara "I'll be back" 

"Emmett." said Clara, "Be careful." 

"I will." said Doc as he closed the window. 

The ceiling opened and the train lifted off and up through it. Then it disappeared into the night and back in time.
