The watch

Going back, Part 9

"Jim , Ho-How are you..?" I uttered, "I'm not sure, I just.. am." He replied. He lowers the battery on the table and me stare at each other in disbelief, and loss of speech. Eventually I snap us out from our trance, "Jim! How did you do that?!" I yell "him to pick it up again!" As he attempts this, our faces are let down with disappointment and confusion as we see Jim 's hand phase through. Why was he able too o pick it up? Was it the electricity, or some sort of focus trick? "What the HELL!?" I loudly muttered. I hadn't known I said anything til Jim replied "what?", though I passed through his question, "how did you do that, how did you pick it up?" I quickly asked. "I don't know, it just happened" he said, slightly terrified. "OK..? Well what were you doing Jim??" He jumped back, frightened, and stuttered as he said "I was..." he was taking a while. Out of annoyance I said "you were what Jim??" He quickly replied "I was... opening drawers, well trying , upstairs, but it seemed hopeless." He pauses before starting again, after seeing the annoyance on my face, "Ok... I walked down here, I seen the door open slightly. I was kind of mad so I kicked the door. Next thing I knew it swung open." I cut in while he took a breath, "Wait.. how did you know your foot wouldn't go through?". He stares at me, because I cut in, and after a pause continues. "I didn't know, I was just mad, so I did it. After that I walked in and tried grabbing stuff". I cut in once again "OK, but how did the battery come in?!" He looks at me, this time angered. "OK, Damn! Can I tell my story!?".... "..Sorry" I replied. "Ok, so I was trying to grab stuff, but kept going through everything. I got mad again and threw a bucket. I didn't know I would be able to grab it, it was just instinct. I seen the battery fall out and onto the floor, along with some paper clips as other things. I didn't think, I just grabbed it. After that I realized what was happening and called you." I took everything he said in, stood there and just thought about everything he said... then replied. "Well, good job Jim, you got us our ticket home." I take off the watch and see it has turned on, not charged but on. I ask Jim about it, "hey, the light is on.. it was off when we left the class." He nodded and said "yea.. it did, I seen it flash when you walked in but I didn't think of it." We didn't care too much at the moment, so I take off the watch and place the back of it onto the battery that was on the table. The watch sucks the battery juice and says aloud " full battery, 2 trips remaining." I yell "take us back, present day." Then, we see the flash.
