Chapter 14- Get On Your Bikes and Ride!

Scaramouche then saw it too "a statue"

"A hero made from bronze and rock" Scaramouche could see it clearly now, the man looked familiar for some reason

"Who is it, who does it represent?" then Pop realised who it was

"I know this man… I saw many images in the Secret History… he is one of the freedom fighters of Queen!... the first to die… the greatest, brightest star of his time!". That then triggered Scaramouche's memory.

"Star! Bright Star" Gazza, your dream! The bright bright star will show the way, the start isn't a star in the sky- it's a rock star!"

"Freaky!" "oh shut up! Everything's "freaky" to you, Mr look at me I'm an over-aged hippy" then Scaramouche forgot about actually using sarcasm as Galileo spoke up

"But what? What is he showing us?"

"The way! It must be, the way to the place of Living Rock! Living Rock isn't granite and stone at all, its music!"

"But Queen buried the instruments there. How can they be buried in music?" this finally got Pop talking some sense

"The place of living rock, Man, live rock and roll music! He's looking towards it, Dude! The star is facing North! Well, North and a little bit West actually. To the place he once ruled! The place where people came together, to play and to be together…"

"The place where the champions played?"

"Yes, the Place of Champions! The old arena!... I'm sure of it! The machine may have destroyed the stands and the towers, but they could never destroy the vibe of that they once called… Wembley Stadium!".

"Galileo we have to move quickly. Now that the star has shown us the way, it can guide the Police there too, there's no time to lose" Galileo looked shocked for a second as this was the first time Scaramouche had actually called him Galileo, instead of Gaz or Gazza but that look left as Pop spoke up

"I'll come with you, I can show you how to get there" then Gaz started looking around "But we need transport! We need wheels!". At that all the Bohemians gathered together and sang three words-

Bicycle! Bicycle! Bicycle!

But Scaramouche was not impressed "bugger that, we have to save rock 'n' roll! We can't turn up on a bike!" Pop was slightly more impressed than her

"It's very eco"

"But not very cool"

"You're right, Crazy Lady. We'll take my Harley! Rock's transport of choice. Not as fast, clean of efficient as a Japanese bike, but it sounds humungus!" Pop then brought his Harley out in front of them, sat down and spoke to Scaramouche "you get on behind me, Baby. Nice. It's been years since I've felt the soft warm thighs of a rebel chick wrapped round my skinny white arse" Scara then stood up, walked round to the front of the bike and sat down whilst saying

"Forget it, I'll go in front" "well all right but don't blame me if I push the bone" Scaramouche slowly stood up, careful not to give Pop a good view of, well, anything, and said with a disgusted look on her face

"I felt that… Gazza, get on behind me. And don't get any fresh ideas". Galileo then ran up in front of them and said

"It's time. Time to avenge the mighty Queen… time to avenge them all" this gave Scaramouche the perfect opportunity to say, slowly so that Gaz would hear her properly "The word… rhymes with… banker!" Galileo got the message and sat down behind Scaramouche

"Rock 'n' Roll!"

"Get down!" then Pop for some reason said

"Somebody find me a bat- I want to bite its head off!- no sleep till Hammersmith!". The three of them rode on the bike for a while, either seeing ruins of old buildings, or new ones with the Globalsoft logo on it.
