Saving John Lennon

Chapter 5

Several days later, Katy had gotten to know each beatle individually. She watched them filming for several weeks. Until one day, she wakes up outside again in 1975, still in Liverpool.

Katy looks around and looks at the calender that was inside the same cafe that she had gone to when she first arrived. Now, she was confused.

"1975? How did I get here? I was just in '65. Now 10 years later?" Katy ran to the nearest phone and grabbed a phone book and began to look for George's phone number, which she did find and she dialed his number.

"Hello?"  She heard him say. He sounded a little sluggish so she thought that he must have just woken up or something.

"George? I don't know if you remember me. My name is Katy Santiago."

"Of course I remember ye. Where are ye?"

"I'm in the same place where I ran into you when we first met. Can you meet me here?"

"Yeah. I'm on my way."

Katy hung up and sat at a bench. Her hands started shaking once she realized that it was a little over 5 years before John was to be killed in New York. She got too hung up in her thoughts that she didn't see George approach from the side.

She felt his hand on her shoulder and jumped. "George? You scared me."

"Sorry. Now, what happened to ye? Ye suddenly disappeared. We sent out a search party once we realized ye were gone."

"I came back to this year George. Listen, it is now 5 years before John's death."

"5 years? Man, I forgot." He said in shock once he realized John won't be alive for too much longer.

"I think this time zone is moving me past these years to save John. We need to go to New York and get him to come back to Liverpool."

"Oh, I don't know about that. We have some differences. We broke up 5 years ago."

"I know you did. I done all my research, remember?"

"Yeah, I do now. Look, I'm not sure if he would want to see me Katy."

"Look, just because you have you're differences doesn't mean you both can't put them aside and work together. Listen, do it for me George and for all the fans that don't want him to die."

He sighed loudly. "Alright." He said almost in a whisper. "Alright. I'll go. But, we have to warn him about what's going to happen."

"That's just it. I don't think he'll believe us. He might think we're crazy."

"I know. But we have to convince him. Its our only chance."

"Man, I know it is. Alright. Lets go."

George phoned his wife and told her that he had to go to the states for an emergency and that he had to leave immediately. She understood and told him to go and said she would be waiting for him once he returned.

They boarded the plane and for most of the plane ride to New York, they sat quietly and basically tried to think of what to say to John. He was stubborn so he probably wouldn't believe them.......Well, not at first.

The plane landed in New York and Katy walked with George following close behind. They got to the Dakota and Katy looked at the alley way.

"This is where he dies. This exact spot." She moved to the security room and just looked inside. The light shown brightly throughout the entire room with several security guards inside talking.

She had a memory of John collapsing in that room, still alive but bleeding out. It just gave her shivers as she thought about it. She didn't want to think of it. But, she knew what she was doing, had to be done.
