The Adventures of Stevo-Chapter 2-Korea,1950,Part 2
Attention all personnel, incoming wounded. Head for both the evac chopper pad and the ambulance area. This one's big.
At the O.R., everyone was getting ready for the wounded. The first one to enter, was Stevo. It was surprising to see a doctor get wounded on the first day of his job. But since his wound wasn't that serious, Potter took him first.
"Stephen, how'd you end up like this?" he was curious.
"Well, on my way to get some medical supplies, I asked a soldier how far from the 8063rd, and just when I was about to speed up, a bomb blew up and caused both of us to fly out of the jeep, with me getting this long cut. Klinger was okay except he had holes in his dress."
"Wait, Klinger was with you?" Potter wasn't amused by the sound of that.
"Yea, he wanted to help me with the other supplies."
"I'm gonna have a serious talk with Klinger when I'm done." he said to himself. "Stephen, I need you to hold on to something, because this medical alcohol will sting like a hornet once I pour it onto it."
"Yes sir." So he grabbed the side of the operating table he was sitting in, and when he poured it on the cut, he screamed with one hand over his mouth, creating a muffled but scary sound.
When he was patched up, he got up and went back to the tent when Hawkeye stopped him in front of the door.
"Where are you going?" Stevo looked up to see him in front of him.
"To my tent, sir." Hawkeye looked closer at him.
"Oh, ok. Carry on, Cary Grant."
While he was asleep awhile later, the figure from before was beside him at his tent.
"Stevo, it's me again."
"What is it now?"
"You forgot your ring that I gave and told you to keep." The figure said while holding out the ring.
"Oh I'm terribly sorry for that." He putted it in his pocket.
"That's okay. Just don't let me catch you without the ring again."
"Yes sir."
"Now, before I go, for your next trip, you will go to the year, 1965. And that is the time you will wear the ring when it's time to. Okay?"
"Yes sir." Then the figure faded away and disappeared in a big flash like at the house.
After he woke up from the dream, he looked outside the window, only to see 2 MP soldiers guarding the supply tent. He laid down again and started thinking and questioning about his future journeys for a few minutes. "How far will I travel? Will I ever make it home? Can anyone trust me to keep it a secret if they ever knew about it?"
And then, his door knocked. It was Father Mulcahy. He thought he should give it a shot. As he entered, Stevo called.
"Who is it?
"It's Father, can I come in?"
"Why sure."
As he was walking towards him, he quickly thought what he was gonna say to him. "Okay, Stevo. You know what to do and how to handle it. Get ready." Once Father sat down beside him, Stevo began to speak.
"Father, can you keep a secret?"
"Anything for any soldier. He looked around.
"Lend me your ear." He put his hand over Father's ear and began to whisper.
"Father, I am from the future. I am from the year, 2013. I was sent here as a part of a mission to experience the past events." Father was stunned. He couldn't believe what he just heard.
"You're... from the future?" Father whispered back.
"Yes." Father was more stunned.
"Well, if that's true, then is there a second coming?" He knew the answer to that.
"Well, it was supposed to be on December 21st, 2012, but that didn't happen at all."
"Oh well then. I cross my heart, and hope to die. I promise."
"Thank you, Father."
"It was my pleasure." Then the speakers came on.
Attention all personnel. Tonight's movie will be the premiere of "My Darling Clementine". See you there!
"I must be leaving now. Good night, Stephen."
"Night, Father." he replied.
"Oh, don't forget that service is tomorrow morning."
"I won't!" When Father left, Stevo looked around again. He reached into the pocket to see if the ring was still with him. It was. He returned it to his pocket and fell back asleep.
The next morning, when he was waiting for church service in the mess tent to start, Corp. O'Reilly entered and came up to him.
"Everything of yours is packed and ready to go, Capt. Stephen." He was in confusion.
"What? Why?"
"You're gonna be sent back to the states!" Stevo was in shock.
"Hah?"
"Look." He gave the letter to him. He read the whole thing, and he was excited.
"WHOOPEE! I'M HEADING HOME!" He yelled in joy. Then everyone joined in all happy. When Father came, Stevo ran up to him, "FATHER, I'M HEADING HOME!" Father smiled.
"Oh what a miracle!" Father smiled.
When he was all packed after service, everybody from the camp gathered around the jeep, waving and saying their goodbyes. He did the same thing. Once the jeep left, everybody went back to doing what they were doing earlier.
As they were driving, snipers began to fire at them. That continued for about a mile until the jeep hit a landline and flipped over repeatedly, which sent Stevo, the driver and his luggage flying into the air. When the jeep ended its tumble, he looked at himself and discovered that he was unscarred. And so was the luggage. But when he went to find the driver, it was too late. He was dead at the scene. So he dug up a grave for the dead driver, looked at his dog tag (only the name was chipped off), and got a large metal plate from the wreckage and wrote on it with the keys:
R.I.P. Here lies an unknown soldier. He died in service when he was driving to Seoul and hit a landmine, in which the vehicle flipped repeatedly. He was dead at the scene. 1908-1950
Right beside him, was a empty house. So after he buried the body and placed the grave, he took his luggage and went inside. When he entered, it was empty and quiet. When he sat on a dusty bed, the ground started to shake. He panicked. When he tried to run out, the floor under him collapsed. He yelled when he fell through.
When it all ended, he opened his eyes to see where he was. His jaw dropped when he saw where he was: Africa.
Suddenly he heard a growl. He gulped and looked up. In front of him, was a panther, showing its sharp teeth. He's in trouble.
