Hot-Wiring Fun

Yellow to red. That's the ticket. That sounds right. I test my theory on the now exposed wires below the steering wheel. Here goes nothing. I bite my lip in anticipation of the wires touching each other. I stay calm as best as I can, but my hands are a dead give away. They shake and tremble. Slowly, I move the wires towards each other. Eventually they touch, and as soon as they do, my body gets thrown a foot back. Olivia rushes over to me. She takes off her mask and I can see her worried face looking down on me. " You ok?" She asks. Before I have a chance to reply, a loud country song kicks in on the radio. I can't make out the words, but I recognize the twangy , southern voice. I sit up slightly. " I'll feel better once we can change the station." I reply in a lackadaisical tone. Olivia helps me off the ground. " Honestly, how is country always the one station the comes in the clearest?" I continue. Olivia ignores my question and looks me in the eyes. " Seriously, are you ok?" " Yeah, I'm fine." " Do you want to go to the hospital?" " No." "Are you sure?" I cough a little. "Yes." Olivia glares at me. " The car is running, we should get out of here." I tell her. Olivia continues to stare at me. " Come on, let's go before the boss comes out and / or I get an aneurysm from this country music." Olivia shakes her head and puts her mask back on. "Fine, but remember, I drive."
