((AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhh) OkAy so in short, my entire mapping system was off, they were s u p p o s e d to be SOUTH of the fairgrounds but that's o k a y. Another thing, I don't live in Georgia, I DIDN'T KNOW HOW FAR INLAND SAVANNAH WAS BUT WE'RE JUST GOING TO PRETEND IT'S THE COAST, OKAY?)

Bo and Luke cringed and exchanged glances, backing up a little.

"What the hell happened?" Luke asked.

"I think I went too fast," KITT replied, watching Rosco.

"Yeah, Cooter said y'all would be here in about a half-hour, it's been ten minutes," Bo argued.

"Yeah, about that, see, when Cooter sent me up here, I thought it was urgent. It's not urgent, is it?"

"We're drivin' out to Savannah to try and track down the Acid Corporation and figure out where they've stashed General," Luke explained.

"Random question, ah, how fast were you goin'?" Bo asked.

"My fastest point was 198 miles an hour," KITT replied.

"Right, and you're okay with this?" Luke asked.

The car shifted on its suspension. "Yes."

Rosco staggered away from the trash bins, still a bit queasy. He stumbled and Luke caught him by the arm, holding him up.

"Aw Jesus, you alright, Rosco?" he asked.

Rosco shook his head and rested his hands on his knees. "We broke the sound barrier."

"No we didn't!" KITT argued.

Bo laid a hand on KITT's hood. "Don't worry, KITT, he's just old, ain't used to goin' fast," Bo chuckled.

Rosco pushed himself up sluggishly. "Now you listen," he hiccupped, "here, I ain't that old, I'm just outta practice!"

Bo laughed.

Rosco straightened himself, brushing off the front of his shirt and straightening his tie. "Alright, Cooter said we was goin' somewhere, now, where's that?"

"Savannah, there's a warehouse at the port we need to check out, we think General might be there," Luke explained.

"Alright, I'm ridin' in the truck. Luke, you drive, I don't wanna end up twenty feet in the air 'cause Bo decided he wanted to jump a bridge."

Rosco walked off towards the truck and the Duke boys exchanged glances. Bo smiled and shrugged and walked off as well.

Luke looked up at the sky, watching the clouds shift. "Lord, help me," he muttered.

--------------------

The drive out to Savannah was a long one, it was noon by the time they got there. The cool temperatures blowing in from the ocean created a fog over the city. The thick haze created small droplets of water on the vehicles as the wet air condensated. The drive through the city went slow, the fog making it hard to see. So much for beautiful Savannah, they got creepy Savannah. They drove until the harbor was in sight, which was on the other side of the city from which they'd come.

Bo, Luke, and Rosco ditched the truck in an alley upon arriving at the harbor. KITT drove out onto the deserted street, scanning the area.

"Looks like we're clear," he said quietly.

The others nodded and followed him out into the street. The lamps above them flickered from years of use in the salty ocean spray. The fog seemingly only grew thicker as they ventured on. KITT's headlight panels flipped open, trying to allow light into the fog, however, the light only succeeded in reflecting off of it.
