I Bought it with my Blackjack Money

As the strange bunch walked, and trundled, out of the hotel, into the sunshine, and along the strip, Evelina casually asked.
“Is it true that we were originally supposed to be stopping you having a fling with one of your own great great grand-daughters?”
Alex was taken aback. “What!?”
“That’s what some of the others’re saying…”
Alex, relieved to have sorted the future-realisation problem, and pleased to be in the sun, chuckled. “My own grand-daughter? Makes me sound like some kind of paradoxical paedo. Think they're pulling your leg..."
“He-ey, gu-uys.” Speak & Skutt interrupted. “… I think I found a clue…”
Alex looked to where Jaxx was pointing his claw, and blinked. "We're gonna need a car."

A slick black Dodge Charger careened through the bushes and stopped mere feet from the trio. The windows rolled down, Artemis, Boyd, and Xagzor stuck their heads out. "Get in losers we're going hunting!" Boyd yelled. "What the...Artemis, Boyd, where did you get this?" Alex said, admiring the car. "I bought it with my Blackjack money" Artemis said. "Alright, well this'll do" Alex said. "Yeah, thing is...I've never driven a motor vehicle before. I haven't even driven a bicycle before! This was a first for me and...well...I'm probably a felon now..." Artemis said. Boyd shrugged, "Starships are all I know, and cars are controlled by the corporation". Alex smiled. "I'm driving" He said. Artemis scooted into the passenger seat, Alex climbed behind the wheel while Jaxx, Evelina and Boyd squeezed into the back with Xagzor. "This puny human better drive with the utmost care!" Xagzor announced. "Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" Boyd yelled, covering his ears. Alex gave Artemis a weird look (not hearing what the alpaca said to Artemis and Boyd, being devoid of the weird drug). "I'll uh...explain on the way" Alex stamped on the petal and peeled out into the street.
