Now I'm Here

Chapter 20- But You Can't See

They opened their eyes, knowing that they were about to witness tragedy. They were at a beautiful beach. None of the sand was visible. There were so many soldiers crowded aroung the entire island. 

Brian cleared his throat, preparing to give his lovely friends a history lesson. "On December 7th, 1941 Pearl Harbor was attacked and it was a sad day for America and even Japan, to extent, even though for Japan it was a major victory. The intense fight between Japan and America started for a few reasons. America was wealthy in terms of natural resources and they weren't donating any of it to Japan. America, then made the decision to put major restrictions on who could and couldn't enter America, which pissed other countries off. And, eventually the expansion on the Pacific, when they moved all of those soldiers here, was a threat to Japan and they eventually attacked," Brian explained. 

"Wow, thank you Dr. Bri," Roger said, sarcastically.

"What time do you this will occur?" Freddie asked.

"Most likely in the afternoon, almost dinner time, I suppose," Brian said. 

All the soldiers were eyeing the boys up because they weren't in military uniforms and they had British accents. 

"Excuse me, but what are you doing here?" one of the soldiers asked. 

"We're not in uniform, sorry," Brian said. 

"Go get in uniform, right now," the soldier ordered. 

Brian, Freddie, Roger, and John reluctantly listened and got dressed in old military uniform. 

"Brian, this is a really bad idea. We could get killed in Pearl Harbor," Deaky said, clearly frightened. 

"Just calm down," Brian said, "These men weren't prepared for the brutality, it was a surprise, but we all know whats going to happen."

"Are we allowed to save anyone?" Freddie asked. 

"I can, not you all. You guys don't know how to swim," Brian said. 

"Well, lets do this, then," Roger said.
