Back to the future 4: Further adventures of Marty and Doc

Running into a familiar face

Marty eventually made it to the town and began to look for Doc. He looked around a few of the shops and eventually found him in the museum. "Doc there you are!" Marty sighed with relief. "Oh yeah I knew you'd find me" Doc smiled looking back at the sculptures. "Listen Doc, can we go get more food, maybe we should get some for a week just in case" Marty suggested. "Good idea actually" Doc smiled back. They left and entered the market. "Maybe we should get some meat and bread" Doc suggested to Marty. "I would love something proper" Marty did chuckle back. He approached the stand and saw someone familiar. Erin. "Oh my god! Marty!" She smiled back eagerly. "Erin? You work here?" Marty smiled back eagerly engaging in conversation. Doc sighed with a light chuckle and collected the food. "How much will this cost?" He asked interrupting them. "15 dollars" Erin said back to Doc and glancing at Marty again. "So, uh, when do you get off?" Marty asked. "In about an hour, why?" She asked trying to keep a straight face. "I could take you out? You could show me around as we're new" Marty smirked. "Sounds good" she smiled back giving them their food.

"Marty how do you know her?" Doc asked intrigued. "She helped me yesterday when I hit my head" Marty answered unaware of Docs warnings of threatening anyone's future. "We better go back, it's getting dark and we don't have any light" Doc said as they went back.

Marty was brushing his hair when Doc came through the door. "Marty I must warn you to be careful, there are people who will do all sorts to get money out there including ransoms and auctions" Doc said not bearing the thought of it happening to Marty. "Doc relax, I know how to defend myself" Marty brushed it off teasing him and leaving. Doc felt reassured knowing Marty could defend himself if he wanted too.

The gang that had harassed Marty the previous day were in their rickety building. "Boss, do you think we could get money for that pipsqueak?" One of the gang members asked. "Easily!" He yelled back stabbing his knife in the floor. "We just got to find him" he sighed in annoyance. "He's handsome and seems quite feisty, lots of people will want someone like him" he chuckled menacingly. He grabbed his bottle of chloroform and a dirty rag. "I've got just the thing, now we just gotta find the squirt" he chuckled.
