“Uncle Charlie, when does that ninety-day time limit expire?”
“Tomorrow afternoon, Biff. At four o’clock.”
“What!” Biff exclaimed. “Then we’ve got to act fast. We’ve got to find Derek!”
“Don’t worry, Biff, we’re still ahead of the game.”
“But Brom Zook will be robbed!”
“I don’t think so,” Uncle Charlie said, smiling as he shook his head.
“What’s to prevent it?” Biff demanded.
