I woke up inside a wooden house. My clothes were changed and I was wearing some old looking, one piece, total white pajamas. The ones with the buttons on front. I looked like a cartoon character. Right opposite from the bed I was laying before, there was a desk and on it there was a piece of paper and some clothes. I stood up as soon as I understood that I had no clue what I was doing there, oh and also that James changed my clothes, and I had to know. I went to the desk and started reading the note.
"Good morning sleepyhead, yes I'm trying to become mainstream.
I picked some clothes for you from my closet. You don't want to be wearing modern clothes in a small society in the 50's. Hope you like them. I will be downstairs probably eating breakfast. Get ready and come find me.
James"
I felt like someone was taking care of me, but I really didn't know If I should trust James yet. I put the clothes on and I looked like an actor playing in a movie about the life in America after World War II. And then I remembered that I was doing that exactly. It was 1951 and that's 6 years after the war ended. Thankfully the clothes did fit and I actually liked them. I was wearing a very light blue shirt with black suspenders and dark grey pants. I could be the serif of that village with that outfit. I went down the ladder connecting the first and the second floor and there he was. James was waiting for me in the kitchen with a small surprise. 21st century me thought that I would be eating scrambled eggs or something, but no. Oatmeal with bread and milk. I sat down next to James and ate faster than ever. After all that I was very hungry obviously and that oatmeal tasted better than the eggs I was dreaming of. Once I finished it I was ready to start the 'interrogation'.
"Look James thank you for everything, but I want to know some things.",I said ready to find the truth.
"I'm all ears, well actually, I'm not all ears I only have two but never mind...",he then replied with a little smirk.
"First of all... WHAT THE HECK. I go for a freaking walk, enter an old windmill, pass out, wake up tied down under, I don't even know how deep, in a mine and then you come, my savior, James my online friend that I've been talking to for the past 2 years and you LIVE IN THE 50'S! HOW? ", I went a bit crazy on him but I really was in terrible shock.
"Wow, did not expect that for sure. Now listen carefully. In 4 days from the day you arrived the mines here in Ashville will be exploded and you are the one that causes the explosion. Now down in those mines, there are a lot of secrets the government wants to hide. Specifically, there is an organisation called S.C.O.T.U.S. which stands for Secret Concealment Of The United States. This organisation has top skilled agents and works with the military to prevent normal people like us from interacting with objects and places we do not understand. Down in those mines they store all these objects and secret files.", James said.
"Ok but what has that to do with me? ", I really didn't know what to say, especially when I realized that I was in Ashville, and in 1951, so I thought of questions that someone would ask in an action movie, the basic why me? And all of that drama stuff.
"As I said you are causing the explosion." ,he then replied.
I heard that the first time he said it but couldn't believe it. How me, a no one from the future, causes such a big explosion. And why do I want to erase all of S.C.O.T.U.S.'s information? I needed more answers but had to find the right questions.
"What is the link between me and that organisation?", now I started thinking cleverer.
"That I do not know. But I can help you find out. That's why I contacted you 2 years ago. You see, my grandfather left a message in his will for me. When he died 2 years ago I got a letter and this cellphone.", he said while showing me a futuristic cellphone.
Well it looked like mine but for the 50's it was futuristic. Then James continued saying.
"This cellphone has the ability to contact with people from the future. But the only contact I have in my phone is yours. It has internet connection and everything but no other person, just you. The letter told me that you were important and that on the 27th of December you would be in the mines. My grandfather also informed me about S.C.O.T.U.S. and the explosion. So I prepared for 2 whole years. I trained to keep you safe and prevent S.C.O.T.U.S. from stopping the explosion.", he was actually prepared. And well trained I could see that.
"So a federal organisation wants me dead, because I will destroy all of their secret stuff. Ok got it now... But it's still hard to take in. WAIT. So in 3 days I will have to destroy the mines? Only 3 days left...", I was now informed and ready. I felt like now I had a purpose. I must be special, I thought and I liked it.
"I already took care for the explosion. Oh I almost forgot to tel you about the windmill. It is a time machine. But you didn't go there by yourself they lured you.", and now James started sounding like he had lost it.
"But I went there by myself. I was going there every day, and it was my choice to discover it.", I tried to explain to James.
"When you woke up did you feel like you were sick?", he asked me.
"Oh no... What didthey do..."
