Read Online To Kill a President by By Marc james - Free Book Online

his grandmother he became angry about how his life had been ruined because of Faraday and the girl.  He took another pull on his cigarette and that’s when he realised he was sitting on a bench dedicated to one of the people responsible, Jane Stuart.  In his drunken rage he stumbled to his feet throwing his cigarette away and began beating the bench with his cane.  After the third hit his cane snapped in two.
    “Son of a bi.....”  He was interrupted by the flash of light, it was coming from the Loch.  It was back.  But why?  Surely Faraday was still in hospital.  Was it meant for him?  Maybe it was a sign, maybe he could go back and change things.  Maybe he could save Jane and by doing so get his life back.  But how could that be, surely there would then be two of him.  He had certainly never met himself, whatever happened happened, that was the way it was.  How could he be sure he would arrive back in Dallas?  He could arrive anywhere and at anytime, it might even kill him.  But what else was there, he had no one, nothing to stay for surely it was worth a try.
    He dropped his mangled cane and stumbled towards the Loch, the drink kept the cold out.  As he struggled towards the light he suddenly became hopeful, he could get his friends back Nancy, Lansky even David.  He took a deep breath and went under the surface. He could see the light it was directly below him.  As he swam downwards he could see it shining brighter, he was going home.  He could almost see his old condo and his friends.  It was almost within touching distance when the light went out.
    Bobby returned to the surface and took a much needed breath. 
    “Son of a bitch!” It was then that Bobby realised how far away the shore was.  The drink seemed to wear off and the pain returned to his hip.  He tried to make his way towards dry land but his hip was not having it.  He would have made it back had it not been for that bastard with the knife!  He struggled in the water but began to sink below the surface.
    It was half an hour later when a man walking his dog found Bobby, he was already dead.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Chapter 14
    Faraday could hardly believe his eyes.  He was not sure why he was so surprised, this was where Bobby had died after all.  But what did it all mean? What had the doctor been talking about?  How could he fix things?  It was then that he first had the thought, Jane was alive!  He knew it! All he had to do was follow the light.  But there was no light.  The Loch was dark.  It would be crazy to swim out and hope it appeared as it had in the dream.
    He pulled the chain out from under his shirt and looked at the ring, he still didn’t have his “yes” and he needed that “yes”.  He removed his glasses and put them into his inside jacket pocket.  He kissed the ring for luck and dove into the water still firmly gripping the tip of Bobby’s cane.  He had been swimming for only a couple of minutes, when the light appeared.  He was getting her back!  He swam towards it and prayed something would happen.  As he touched the light he felt like he was being sucked through a plug hole, it was as though he was about to explode.
    When he could breathe again he was lying in dirt.  He pulled out his glasses but before he could put them on he began to feel queasy.  Once he had thrown up, he rose to his feet and put his glasses on.  To his right he could see a train track and to his left a picket fence.  He knew where he was, this was the grassy knoll.  He hopped the fence and went down the steps to the road side.  What the hell had just happened?  Dealey Plaza was deserted.  He knew the area from the book, it was picturesque. Dealey Plaza consists of three roads all separated by grass, looking from beside the knoll he could see the School Book Depository at the corner of the street on which he stood. He could recognise that red bricked building and the iconic Hertz rental sign at the
