Chapter 10: Road Trip and a Radio

Ezra's P.O.V

After what literally felt like an hour, Jacob and I finally got out of the city, heading north on the road. We had at least a good 7 hours before we got to Scotland, and all we focused on was driving and getting there. While we drove, life going by as I looked out my window, I was still thinking about the others, hopefully they were okay and were holding up just fine. I didn't want anything to happen to them while I was gone, and if anything did happen to them while I'm gone, I would blame myself for not being there for my friends. "Ezra." Jacob said, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"What is it?" I asked him. "How bout some driving music?" he suggested. "What's good on Earth?" "Me personally, I prefer slightly older hits, but sometimes modern as well." "Why older ones? What's up with modern ones?"

"The thing about modern hits, Ezra, is that they are a bit of annoyance sometimes, considering that most songs these days are all about sexually related stuff. I personally don't like modern hits as much, modern pop to be specific." "But why express sexually related stuff in today's songs?" "I honestly don't know."

"Well, what older hits ar-" I was cut off when my commlink started going off. "I gotta take this one." I said. "Who's this?"

"It's Alex, Ezra. Have you managed to find a location on Earth for us to grab you and Jacob?"

"We are en route now to it. I'm going to send you the coordinates to this location."

"Coordinates received. Yeah? Okay, I'm coming now. I gotta go now for a night op. I'll talk to you later, Specter 6."

"Specter 6 out."

"Specter 7 out."

"Who was that?" Jacob asked. "It was Alex. He just wanted to know if we found a location for the crew to grab us, and I sent him the coordinates." I replied. "Did he say when the crew would arrive?"

"No, Jacob, he didn't since he was going on a night op right now." Jacob nodded. "So, as I was saying earlier, Jake, what older hits are good?"

"Well, I got a whole bunch of them on my phone. All I can do with it is connect it to the car's radio, and I can listen to them while we drive. Plus, you could also cycle through them while driving." "That's cool." "Yup. Earth tech has its benefits."

"Find anything?" "Well, there is Lynyrd Skynyrd, which is a classic rock band. I got a good song by them. Tell me if you like it." "What's the name of it?" "Saturday Night Special."

"Two feet they come a creepin'

Like a black cat do
And two bodies are layin' naked
A creeper think he got nothin' to lose
So he creeps into this house, yeah
And unlocks the door
And as a man's reaching for his trousers
Shoots him full of thirty-eight holes

(chorus)

Mr. Saturday night special
Got a barrel that's blue and cold
Ain't good for nothin'
But put a man six feet in a hole"

"I actually like this one." I said. "Yup. It's a good one." Jacob replied.

"Big Jim's been drinkin' whiskey
And playin' poker on a losin' night
And pretty soon ol' Jim starts a thinkin'
Somebody been cheatin' and lyin'
So Big Jim commence to fightin'
I wouldn't tell you no lie
Big Jim done pulled his pistol
Shot his friend right between the eyes

(chorus)

Oh, it's the Saturday night special for twenty dollars you could buy one too

Hand guns are made for killin'

They ain't no good for nothing else

And if you like to drink your whiskey

You might even shoot yourself

So why don't we dump 'em people

To the bottom of the sea

Before some ol' fool come around here

Wanna shoot either you or me

(chorus)

Mr. the Saturday night special

And I'd like to tell you what you could do with it

And that's the end of the song"

After listening to this song, it got me wondering something about it, something about killing people.

"Why does this song talk about killing people though?" I asked. "It's about a Saturday night special, which is a cheap, low caliber pistol or revolver." Jacob answered. "Right." I responded. I mean the song was good though, but still wondering about why it would take about killing people though.

"Any other good songs?" I asked Jacob. "Well, there is this one." Jacob replied, putting on another song. "This one's by Daft Punk, and the song is called 'Get Lucky.' It's a modern one, but I think you might like it." "We'll see about that." I replied, still interested to see what else Earth's music has to offer.

"Like the legend of the phoenix

All ends with beginnings
What keeps the planet spinning (uh)
The force of love beginning

We've come too far to give up who we are
So let's raise the bar and our cups to the stars

She's up all night 'til the sun
I'm up all night to get some
She's up all night for good fun
I'm up all night to get lucky
