Back to the Future part IV

Part 7

Wednesday, October 28th, 1925, 10.04am.

Scott and Suzy have headed back to town along the train track and are heading out of the train station towards courthouse square.

SUZY
Well the iPhone isn’t at your Great-Great Grandparents’, or whatever they are, so the only other logical place is the police station. It must be there.

SCOTT
So what do we do? Just walk in and ask for it? If they’ve found it, they’re gonna want to know what it is. This is gonna be harder than I thought.

SUZY
I would bet that Inspector Strickland took home with him. I can’t see him keeping something futuristic like that in lost property at the station.

SCOTT
Good point, but I don’t fancy the idea of breaking into a police house to look for it though.

SUZY
The house won’t have any alarms or anything on it. They haven’t even been invented yet - I think.

SCOTT
We’ve would have to find out where he lives too. How are we gonna do that?

Inspector Roger Strickland makes his way out of a building near to the train station.

SUZY
Watch out, here he comes now. What a stroke of luck.

Scott and Suzy duck behind some boxes. Strickland gets into his car.

SUZY
Follow him and see where he goes.

SCOTT
I’ll meet you back here at the station in an hour or so. Don’t go too far or else I’ll lose you again.

SUZY
I miss not being able to use my iPhone or go online or anything.
SCOTT
Tell me about it. Catch ya later.

Scott jumps on his skateboard and skates behind the police car. He crouches down so as Strickland can’t see him. Strickland hears a noise as Scott grabs the car. He looks in his rear-view mirror but can’t see anything. He shakes his head and drives off. 

Strickland pulls up at the Police Station and heads inside. Scott hides as he gets out.

SCOTT Damn.

Scott heads to a nearby telephone, and calls the operator.

SCOTT
Hi there, could you put me through to the Hill Valley Police Station please?

Scott listens to the response.

SCOTT
Okay thanks.

Scott is connected to the Police Station.

SCOTT
Hello is that the Hill Valley police station?

In the Police Station, the receptionist is on the other end of the telephone call.

RECEPTIONIST
Yes, yes. I will inform him immediately. 

The receptionist hangs up. Strickland walks past with some files.

RECEPTIONIST 
Ah Inspector Strickland, I’ve just had a telephone call saying there’s a disturbance at your house. You’ve to go home immediately. 

Strickland looks puzzled.

STRICKLAND 
Who made the call? 

RECEPTIONIST 
He said he was a neighbour of yours.
STRICKLAND 
I’ll be back shortly. 

Strickland rushes out of the station, into his car and drives off. Scott hangs on the back riding his skateboard again.

Strickland heads into his house and Scott hides behind a tree.
